I've played this recently and created an itch.io account just to write a comment. The story writing skill is so good! I can see myself paying just for the story alone. If compressing the story a little, the recent end maybe a grand introduction for a novel.
These types of immersive characteristics are hard to find in a visual novel, especially with 'adult' content. I can see why the progress is slow. You've put much effort and hard decisions to make the best out of yourself.
Keep up the good work! I hope the next story with the new character starts an epic journey!
