I'm very much blown away by the support the VN has received. Every little bit from nice comments, good ratings, sharing the link, and the donations help me so much in staying motivated and feeling so appreciative for the audience I have. In no way do I ever want to downplay that even just a kind comment or a few bucks thrown my way is immensely helpful and appreciated.
Speaking bluntly however, the donations themselves are definitely something I would not be able to live off, for that reason progress on the sequel and updates to this game are slow, as I can't spend as much time on them as I'd like. Though I won't let that stop me from pushing forward bit by bit towards releasing the sequel when it's ready.
