The rpg aspect is probably the best thing about this game and would lose a lot in ren'py.
Agreed, I am kind of the opposite of Ren'py over RPGM.

I like open ended stuff, I hate games on rails. Ren'py even when it is open, it is still just a series of flat screens, clicking one spot to get to another spot to click. I'd rather play with a controller any day.

Because I do like to strict to the point not so much grinding

There is a little battle grinding in ASWS, but most of it's grind is actually in building Affection / Corruption, which is the same kind of grind you would find in most Ren'py. And there is an in-game cheat book in ASWS that removes battle grinding if you choose.

Did you get a black screen and had to restart your computer? if it is them maybe is the save file... man, what a shame, i will have to play it from zero again if save file corruption.
No, game just literally shut down. Didn't cause any issue with the computer. Sounds like a different issue then, sorry.

I think the rpgm mechanic is important. It really gives the feeling of the MC getting his crap together in a tangible way that Renpy would be hard to offer, though not impossible.

The real Ren'py advantage that it offers over RPGM is that the Player can Play the game with one hand just by holding a button skipping through dialogues/gameplay and Masturbate with the other hand without every needing to pull out vs RPGM which needs two hands to play the game.

But then you end up just whirly past everything, I hate, hate dialogue and cut scenes, (even more so in AAA games), but you need some connection to the story. With Ren'py I end up fast forwarding all connections AND the actual sex scenes.

game is 50:50 NTR to not NTR.
you toggle it in setting.

RPGM is trash. this game would be 10x better without it
I see this somewhat different than you.
1) The NTR-aspect isn't that easily described as you said. There are NTR-scenes for many different things and events, BUT: Many NTR-scenes get reused and recycled. They have the same animations for the same person. The vanilla ones with the MC get new animations and slightly different variations. Chyos said it was a ratio of 10:1. I just feels like there are more NTR-scenes, because they come from different events (but, as I said, use the same animations).

2) It's right, that often RPGM games feel like a huge waste-of-time and grinding. This is one of the only games, that has it's own graphics and is really well put together. So ASWS really delivers well with the engine. There is some grind, but it is used for creating an atmosphere. You often need to do some repetitive tasks, but you get new dialogs with the girls and you can feel progress. If you just play for the h-scenes, you won't get as much out of it.
And let's be honest, this game wouldn't work well with RenPy, because the graphics (and models) aren't the best as they come from VaM (Klub17).

I think I found a bug:
It's related to the camp, or more precisely, Imawyn. During the party quest, she says -Why should I care.... The hero wants to raise her trust, but it's not possible, in the tent she says I want to sleep -_- . Maybe it's because I FAILED the Dismantle Bandit camp quest, i.e. Lyvia caught her, although my relationship with Imawyn is 10/10 and I don't know what to do. Maybe I should change the safe file so that the game considers this quest completed? Because otherwise I can't complete the party quest, I can't buy a lute and the guards' mood is always at its lowest...
Here is a save file for clarity, maybe someone understands and can help.

some grind? I clocked literally hundreds of hours in this game. WITH heavy cheating.
this game is super grindy, and that is with all the nice things dev gives like skip time anywhere or fast travel from almost anywhere
