The most important thing with a story is being cohesive and really exploring the idea you have. That is kind of vague because that ability to go through that idea, whether its a whole world, one or multiple concepts, a journey, and tying them together is a portion of it. You are expressing that idea as a writer, and its your job to add depth to it using those those other tools. It doesnt matter if your writing is bad because its like any other skill, you do it, you learn, you improve, you write more. Ive met too many people that get stuck on the line and copy edit portion of their writing when the story needs real work. The bar for writing rn is low with so few people reading, the exception is television and film. The bar is even lower for porn.

For the story as a whole, first learn to write a simple pallatable narrative structure. You can skip steps of the monomyth like

and still tell your story, the important thing is understanding that a journey needs to happen which is internal, external, or both. Im not going to say this is the only way and I feel that there are plenty of stories which break from this and people just try to force it to fit, but usually they all still follow a similar pattern, and I highly recommend starting here

For setting you'll write paragraphs about the world, environment, and observations that happen in the story , then ask questions. So for example create a vomit doc for your setting
-The story takes place in the future, on a seaside town where the main characters and other poor people live in a garbage dump. The main character wonders about the unwieldy large machines that they see in the ocean growing up.
-How do the people here survive? They sort and recycle the trash, building things with scrap electronics, fixing and reselling mechanical parts, refining metals and selling the raw materials which they trade to the people outside of their community.
-What kind of agriculture does the area have?
-What kind of clothes do they wear?
-The town doesnt use boats, the scrapyards "shoreline" is high above the water, basically a cliff to avoid flooding, and its dangerous to be near there
-What do they eat?
-What do those machines do?
-What has happened in the past 100 years both in the world and around this area leading up to this?
I feel like settings are relatively easy, if youre writing, and you have any thought like "Why is ___ like this?" then go and figure it out

For characters, the way I plan isn't complicated but its difficult. I write the story as if each character in the main cast could be the main character, they also follow their own story, and I write and rewrite things from multiple perspectives. This isnt the correct thing to do and its extremely hard. So I'm not knowledgeable on the easiest way to do this.
The way I think you should do this is to keep your main character as you want them, and

for your main cast. I hate these, but

makes writing easier. You will use ideas from these archetypes no matter what so its better to start writing and be aware of them now. Plus its better to use these cookie cutters while learning since you already have a lot of extra stuff to think about right now regarding just writing those characters.

The only bit of advice I want to give is that your writing reflects your thoughts. A lot of writing I see when doing critique or edits is just a reflection of movies, tv shows, and even other writing. A lot of it ends up so far from reality that its no longer relevant to the reader, and often its bad. Write what matters too and entertains you, dont write things that you think will entertain your audience. Also never let editors completely dictate your writing, they make mistakes, and bad decisions all the time. Consider what they say as suggestions and rewrite if needed but never let their decisions be set in stone. I know none of this matters for a porn game but I'm giving out writing advice so Im throwing it in.
