DMD is the prime example of a generic fap game. I could play any vanilla game and read some wikipedia-articles every 10 minutes and I would have the same feeling like playing DMD.
I think we have different definition for “generic fap game”. To me it means it’s a game where the only thing that it’s got going for it is the sex scenes. A game where I easily forget about and probably never return to or pay for. (Unlike DMD where I return to and at one point a patreon)

and that is my main point. That this is why Devs like mr dots, want to avoid making those type of games.

If i download Chapter 4, 0.33, does it include all previous chapters or only chapter 4?
The chapters are self-contained. If you want to play through all of them, you have to download and play them separately.

The thing with romance is this game isn't really "romantic" either. The dialog's are too stiff and robotic to have any real emotion, and you need emotion to be romantic.

The game is basically turned into: Filler conversation -> random sex scene -> more filler conversation -> random sex scene.

Which really makes this a sex game, but the sex scenes are more or less the same every time which made the game boring. The pacing in this game has been screwed up since at least early Ch2. It's just been dragging along.
About the time of Chapter 2 DMD was caught up in the Patreon Purge and it screwed with not only the game but with what fetishes the dev was willing to show.
DMD changed since then It's become a forced hybrid of the story of D's corruption from a naive girl into a sexual young woman with a romance story overlayed on the basic corruption premise until it's shifted into being robotic and in many ways unsatisfying.
D meets someone she wants to have sex with.
Internally agonizes over the fun she wants and what she thinks is right or wrong.
D and F talk.
D has sort of the sex she wanted. F is usually always lurking around.

Wow this game is still going on..it was one of my first adult games and while overall enjoyable I already thought the pacing was bad..can't imagine how bad its now
it's not superfast nor superslow.

The chapters are separate games and you play them in order...

Nah looking at the current popular games like Being a DIK it seems pretty obvious. A few years ago there were mostly incest games here. I think they just became repetitive
Arranging the most popular games by "Likes" gives 19 out of the top 30 with the "Incest" tag; some of those have it as the primary theme, while for others it's of varying degrees of relevance. Saying they're not popular is absurd.

It may seem not as popular recently because incest as a genre/fetish is heavily saturated in the VN space. What's not saturated is GOOD incest games. If given a choice between a good incest game vs non-incest game, I think most people would still pick the former.

A lot of these incest games that are coming out are mediocre (sometimes straight up bad) in either renders, story, or game mechanics. Those games do not catch on and so players mistakenly correlate incest genre with bad games. This leads to a decrease in popularity. I feel like VN games overall is not in a good place right now. Most "good games" either take forever to update or being placed "on hold" and "abandoned".

I know people have a lot of gripes with DMD but tell me an equal or superior alternatives?
