“Mixed or lukewarm” is a good way of putting it.
Looking here, Patreon and Discord, it feels like even those two do want the book, the majority also want the game.
Book support very much seems to look like either “Better than nothing” or “Please also continue the VN”.
There is very clearly still interest in the story in its original VN form. The problem is, when the creator seems to have little interest in it, what can we do?
