I usually don't comment and stay away from controversies, and maybe this is just Coronavirus confinement talking, but I feel compelled to say that I really don't agree with this affirmation, and I have to admit that I don't understand why you stick around if this is what you think, even more so given that you seem to consider that it should be made completely differently. Notably, the fact that you would like to be able to skip content and praise games for having "even more girls to pursue" makes me think that you are completely missing the beauty and uniqueness of this game. This is maybe why you seem to have misunderstood some comments, thinking people were praising dated pics, when in reality, what they meant was: what is really important is the content, not the appearance (even though the appearance does count), and old games with great content and poor aesthetics may be better than recent games with great aesthetics but poor content. For instance, I was a fan of adventure games, and it is a fact that their golden age is in the past. Well, I personally prefer an old game such as Monkey Island or (the one I prefer) The Beast Within rather than modern action games where the goal is to shoot'em up, even though they are often really beautiful, and in any case, certainly more beautiful than old games. If you have other preferences, I of course totally respect that, just please dont' ask this game to be anything else than it is; there are enough games out there for you to find what you are looking for without transforming a game that is not into a game that is. Variety is the spice of life!
Just to be clear: I'm not saying BEW's appearance is poor! I don't have any complaint on this subject, and I do like the fact that you have to roam your screen to find other reaction options, which is something that I don't think I found in the Renpy, RPGM or Unity games I've played.
