So I tried to play the game on windows and it crashes at some points I think it's due to using the skip button. But I seem to be unable to avoid the crashing.

Sorry to hear that this is taking place! >.< That's the first I've heard of it crashing for Windows in a long, long time. (Since before we made the swap to Ren'py as the game engine.)
I'll try recreating the issue on my computer by skipping, using the skip button. (Where exactly are the crashes happening around which scenes and which episodes? Is it always at the same exact spot or feels random?)
Along with that, if you can provide your computer specs and which version of Windows os you're using. This information might provide us with better details.
Thank you!
Added note: I downloaded v0.19 for Windows/Linux from itch.io and tried recreating the issue on my computer, but I couldn't recreate your crashing issue personally.
I'd say knowing your computer specs and exact Windows os version will be the most help. ^^" (I'm assuming it's due to older specs or maybe conflicting software running in the background. Could be a number of things, but I would say not enough ram and maybe it's peaking out while skipping through and trying to load all those assets in a hurry or software running besides Renpy that is causing issues.)
What we can possibly do for v0.19.5 when it comes to the public is set the text skip speed down, so it's slower by default, maybe with the option of decreasing or increasing it for personal taste in config settings.
XD Gotcha! Just to double check, the game is ending at the end of episode 3 and not going into episode 4? Or did you mean when reaching the end of episode 4 it ends. (Former being the intended for v0.19)
I'm happy to hear you like the direction of the new story! ^^ It's been quite a trip once we moved the game engine from Tyranobuilder to Renpy, but we're trying to keep even older moments returning to offer surprises and play off of everything in the grand scheme of things. Overall it's pretty exciting or it should be as the common route events end after episode 5 and routes begin. :P
the scene post play fight and the dialogue after.
It feels like a new universe with the changes but they the story is smoother than version 14.5. 14.5 felt like the story was a bit rushed and didn't make sense. The story this time feels right with smoother transitions. An example of 14.5 was the princess vs princess story plot thrown in at the end of the original chapter and the sex scene via drugs. Although the school is much more creepier now like messed up (no pun intended).
Ah, gotcha! :P Eyup that's the end of v0.19 then.
I'm glad the story and world building taking place are feeling much smoother now! ^^ There's a lot of story plots that will come about and of course the main story itself will slowly unfold during route episodes when it picks up a bit more. I think there's a lot in store ahead for players to discover as both main story and character route stories unfold. :P
Either way, very happy to hear you're enjoying the game overall. It'll be very exciting to see how everyone enjoys episode 5 in the near future once it's ready, it's our biggest episode yet overall. (40+ cg scene variants, 20,000+ word count, around 7-8 "scenes/events" and hopefully some really interesting choices.)
