Incest and NTR are like oil and water, they never mix well.
Incest fetish is all about boning your family members, NTR is having other people bone your partners. When both of these fetishes mix, you have other people boning your family members, which directly goes against the Incest fetish.
Whenever both these tags are present, really only 1 route is being focused on, and only one crowd is truly happy. So when devs mix both these fetishes, they're only dressing the game up as something it's not meant to be, so as to appeal to the largest possible crowd. You can tell if a dev is a genuine fan of Incest or not, just based on the presence of the infamous three letter tag.
I wish devs would stop doing this, just make the game you want, tell the story you want to tell, and if your game is truly good, it will garner support and a following. NTR fanbase is smaller compared to Harem/Incest, but they put their money where their mouth is, they're vocal and they always support NTR games. Look at Power Vacuum, one of the most popular games on this site which also happens to have Incest and NTR, but the NTR is not a route, it's more of a bad ending to motivate players to pick the right choices. The NTR content is way lesser compared to the Vanilla Incest content, but NTR fans loved it so much they started supporting the dev and being vocal about it, so the dev added non-canon side stories focused just on the NTR, because he couldn't say no to that much money.
Fra_Seorn, make the game you want, but don't try to please everyone, you'll only disappoint everyone by not meeting expectations. Stick to one theme, if you want to add NTR, just focus on that, remove the Incest part; and if you want to make an Incest VN, remove all traces of NTR, that's the only way everyone will be happy. Otherwise you'll only sow more discourse and dissent, which will only drive people away. Best of luck to you.
