I agree. I feel like the frequent and sudden changes is hitting the people that are currently on the grind to get ranks the hardest and having a new and unnecessarly complex system is creating a threshold for new users.
I'd say very friendly, ren'py has a pretty wide user base so it's easy to find guides and help while learning and python is a pretty good language to start with if you're totally new to programming.
The worst thing I can think of is the panty dropper MC, when every girl just throws themselves on the MC without effort or tension it just feels empty.
I think a sandbox porn parody of Fairy tail would be cool, where you can take on quests and interact with characters in the guild. Kind of in the style of Mithys four elements trainer.
I'd buy a larger house and land by a lake but I would also: buy a vacation home in a warmer climate and keep my crappy apartment as a cozy get-away. I'm rich enough to have it all.
I know how it sounds but it's actually pretty good, the swedes have really done some amazing things with pizza innovation (probably through unethical means though).
