I have yet to check the update, but my immediate response to this is D: WHY?! and NOOOOO! Lol I have quite enjoyed the quirkiness that is the writing. It pairs beautifully with the world you are trying to sell us. I was waiting to write a proper review to say that I likened this VN to an Edgar Allen Poe story or poem (whom I am most fond of). The originality of what you are doing is truly inspiring. But I reserve my judgment on your changes until I have taken a peak. What an undertaking though. I commend you for the effort.

Yes! Thank you! I know there are people out there who appreciate something quirky, as you say, like what we're doing.
I think you don't have to worry on that account, we're not turning The Remainder into an Ikea manual, or anything in the neighbourhood.
We only wanted to address some more, let's say, "mechanical" issues.
If I had to make a metaphor, it would be like we're cooking a pot of bat stew with dolphin cheese, and later we realized we COULD fish out the little bits of gravel in the stew that are making people lose a few teeth as they ate our stew.
We're not trying to remove the bats or the dolphin cheese, only the pebbles.
I'm very interested in hearing your review though! Please do tell us how you like it now compared to before.
