Hardcore agree. I would say a big part of that is that good writers are pretty few and far between. Most of the best hentai manga are tropey as fuck but have amazing art or manage to hit a chord in some way that draws you in. There are thousands of super generic ones where you just feel super pandered to and it ruins the charm of the work even if the art is decent.Because as a genre is has quite a few haters. Personally I am just as bored with the same big dick shota + mother + 2 sisters genre that's copy-pasted as well. They are similar in how much potential they are wasting. Both betrayal (ntr) and incest are juicy subjects that can make for really interesting stories. But most devs ignore that and just make the same game.
There are plenty of manga and webnovels that deal with cheating in more interesting ways but hentai always sticks to same scenes, same story, same ending.
Games have similar issues with writing. The split of how much to write is hard as well. Obviously it's easier than making loads of images, but too much writing or plain pedestrian writing will put the player hard. If I'm not enjoying a game I'll just skip through to the sex scenes and they'll never be as effective as they would be in the writing had drawn me into the situation.
