I like reading as long as it doesn't feel like its nonsensical filler and it has a purpose of moving the story along. Fleshed out lewds is a good idea. I hope that also includes fleshing out dialogues during the lewd scenes too.
As for basic story... I'm not sure how much more basic you can get judging from the 3 games so far. I would like a more unique and serious/thriller-y story if that's what you mean? Because the 3 games has the MC as a singer's manager, a model's manager, and a hotel manager. Its not necessarily bad starting point but you guys choose the most boring aspects of each of those job as plot points. Like for example hotel manager. You guys went with reviving a hotel as a plot point. That is a snooze fest and I don't want to learn how to run a hotel...
Model's manger/DMD had a ton of potential. Chapter 1&2 was fine but for example, chapter 3 would have been perfect for exploring the dark side of the modeling industry. I could see you were trying to head in that direction (judges soliciting sexual favor for votes) at the end of chapter 3 but then gave up.
First time I'm hearing complaints about the way the MC was written... personally I felt they were relatable and you guys did a good job. Confident MC is fine as well but his background should match that. Like hes a 10 year experienced business CEO or a retired war veteran. Definitely not a fresh high school graduate that's going to college...
