"we have flashbacks we shouldn't normally see"
I think thats the point of the episodes; to fill in context we wouldn't see in the main story. There /is/ a reason why they're separate from the main story, away from focusing on Walter.
"At this rate, the games will never be over"
Afcl already gets regular developer logs on patreon, so at least we're not kept in the dark. Also, we can't really blame them for the problems they have and complain about not getting our monthly update.
Afcl being one of the fvns that get regularly updated, is already pretty great as an fvn being made by like a small team compared to echo projects (1 is currently sick [Mr.Bear] and the other is busy with college [Andy])
Tennis ace for example has been out longer than afcl and it still hasn't finished a route + they added a new romancable character
Afcl has one of the best uis in an fvn, multiple sprites for characters that aren't just side images and it's free (Knights College + Lagoon Lounge)
Honestly I'm just glad it isn't suffering from issues with the author (FBTW) or being stuck in purgatory (Blackgate) And not to be mean but If you can't wait, you probably shouldn't be playing unfinished fvns (There's a lot of these)
