Hello!
I have not played CoC, but I have played TiT(S?) way back when, and I heard the two were about the same??? Honestly, I don't think they compare to DoL, unless you're asking similar HTML type, read to play, game, then...
I guess?
I'm going to be frank with you, you're asking a question that boarders on opinion, without enough information to even really answer that. Are you asking if you were to look for this game in a store, would they be in the same category? Or are you asking would people who play DoL have CoC in their "Also played/recommend this" list? Or are you asking if the appeal to DoL matches the appeal to CoC?
I believe you're gonna have to explain what it is you're trying to avoid, more than what it is you preconceive is a similarity, to get a satisfying answer.
For example, I didn't touch CoC because, even though it provides one (I think?), I didn't feel it to be very het-woman protagonist inclusive. Also, the downfall for TiTS for me, was that it lacked substantial love interests, especially of the male variety, and, because of that, I couldn't even pursue anyone with the imagination that our relationship matters; I believe any LIs in TiTS was given with a mediocre event, and then the commitment was implied? I don't know, the wiki/forums only talked about female LIs, and, even then, I heard them complain that any relationships were just imagined via their major sex scene. Also, I played through TiTs for 5 hours, within a five day span, and I never ran into anyone who attracted my interests/wanted to commit to (actually never saw a man in that game, to be honest); I remember a lot of the monsters/combatants being female, or grotesque monsters, so I couldn't even be satisfied with the porn of it.
I play (games like) DoL for the NPC relationships, and DoL, currently in it's developing state, provides that for me, considering you can even toggle a love interests in the settings; the biggest indicator that a relationship will matter,
in game. I dunno if CoC offers this. Secondly, DoL's setting is a slice of life, “You do you and someone might try and
fightrape you for it” game play, while I think games like CoC (assuming here, never played it), because of it's "relation" (again, assuming, I see a lot of people comparing them) with TiTS, focus more on battle-sex is the goal “Find something to fight and/maybe fuck to get your skills up” type game. Even though there's almost literally a fight around every corner in DoL, I'm able to immerse myself into thinking my character is just a normal person trying to go about their day, and once in a while some creep engages them in combat/AKA rape, while I remember TiT feeling like absolutely nothing was happening if you didn't pursue a combatant to engage in; battle-sex, in theory, could be avoided entirely in DoL, while in TiT, avoiding a battle was akin to standing around waiting. As a plus, DoL has a pretty fun combat/sex (they're pretty much the same thing here) mechanic that I found pretty unique, and never experienced before; it takes your hands, feet, and mouth (along with sexy bits) into equation, instead of the rudimentary "punch, kick(critical chance), item, flee" options most RPGs provide. It really adds inclusion to not only the battle, but also the sex, when most games would have to fight until a win/lose, then you get smacked with an erotic text to enjoy (not complaining, just DoL opened my eyes).
And last, but certainly not least, if you got a hankering rape kink, DoL's entire premises focus around wanting to ravish your character, it's practically everyone's driving force, and the obstacle you're character is solely made to avoid/embrace. But that's a plot/setting feature, and not really game mechanic?
Throw me a bone, though, eh? I don't know exactly what you're statement is implying, you post as if someone's gonna go “Ah, yes!
That CoC, I dislike it for the same reasons as you, here's why I ran to DoL~...”
