Honestly V9 was fine even if you say you rushed it i still loved it, as for the how long comments that's just typical comments that happen everywhere while people wait for something, you shouldn't feel down for such things i doubt anyone here wants something bad out of you, as for the game itself you dont need to rush it we can wait as long as it takes as long as it doesnt take longer than one piece to finish.
Real life goes first, work is important so it being healthy so you should focus on these first then anything else.
Though most of the things i said already happen i hope you don't go through the same thing in the future and i hope you find a great team to help you in times of need.
(I would love to help but i know nothing about creating pokemon games, unless someone would like to teach me. )
(Oh and honestly i like the progress bar it's less time consuming for us who don't always have the time to look up all the comments.)
