Well, I second the criticism of zARRR and Ottoeight in this thread. (Did I forget to mention someone else?) NTR has become quite dominant in ASWS. That's why I've quit being a patron a few months ago, when I realised, that the normal vanilla/harem content is more and more pushed to the side, because patrons will demand more and more NTR. NTR is definitively being expanded, a lot of dev time is used to create it, while the core game and real story is treading water.
As always the problems are related to demographics: Since NTR is in the game, which is a niche usually, more and more NTR fans flood the game, which changes the demographics of paying subscribers gradually. Of course they are demanding more and more NTR to be included, while the normal content is pushed aside.
Cuckolding doesn't give me anything, so why should I pay for scenes I actually don't want to happen and which cost so much development time in creating them? That's why the vanilla/harem fans successively quit, while the number of NTR fans as paying subscribers increases. (Seen this in other games too, with niche futa content, once it was added to the game, the demographics of subscribers changed quickly and it suddenly became the dominant theme, which ruined the VN for me.)
Now this most recent update really set a new negative record being almost exlusively NTR related with several branches.
Another reason why I've quit being a patron was that Chyos originally promised he would hire someone to assist him in order to get content done more efficiently, because updates took more and more time. Well, he didn't despite reaching the support goal for hiring someone and that's why 2 month updates and delays became the norm. Since approximately 50 % of his development time is spent / wasted on NTR, it takes forever to make siginificant progress. I still like ASWS but the most recent almost exclusive NTR update has encouraged me, that I was doing the right thing from my perspective to quit payed subscription for it a few months ago.
