Really? It's probably time things start progressing. To my knowledge, it's been quite some time since we got to Khorminos. I occasionaly enjoy the new scenes and stuff, but I think the main story should have a bigger priority.
I feel a problem is the creator wants each village to feel fleshed out and complete and filled with life, stories within a story. And not that im complaining its fairly obvious that the creator is heavily kitsune biased. To the point, they might as well have their own game. Once again I don't mind this at all for literally my last two posts are begging for more kitsune content, but I can't deny it, the content is very, very kitsune biased in updates.
The only solution would be to grow the team, but that's easier said than done.
But I really don't want him to rush the story either. Because honestly the cait Finding her dad story line, felt super rushed and out of nowhere, and was a total let down for me personally after waiting literally years for it to happen. He didn't even get his own dungeon, it was just "hey im here at this corner, and you get this one off boss fight that's totes easy". And our friendship with Cait didn't even feel like it really progressed either, despite finding her father was one of the big story pieces that was being given years of build up hype.
