I don't wanna defend the dev, and I don't follow this project that close, I played it yesterday, didn't played in a long time, and absolutely loved the game, once finished could be in my top 7/8.
When u said hotwife, wich game are u talking about? Cause if it's "My Hotwife" by Ben Lucky, no direspect to that dev but the story telling ain't on the same level at all.. And if u find that it is a great story I'm sorry for u.. But u should play games like "Winter Warmth" or start reading the story of Home Prisoner...
U say most players don't care about story, and u probably right, but we need games for every type of player, some players don't want a game where u just see sex scenes, u tell the dev to go write a novel, but if u just wanna see sex scene go watch some porn, read or watch an hentai.. The gameplay of the game doesn't add much, it could be made on renpy, but no, it couldn't be a novel, the renders really are a plus.
The point where I agree with everyone, is the content, like I didn't played in a long time, so i'm pretty happy. But I checked the patreon and saw the ep 3 took a year to devlopped, so yeah it's really not enough content. But who am I to say it, I'm not a supporter of his patreon, neither are u I suppose, so if he wanna take 5 years to make his game, let him do. If supporters ain't happy just unsub from his patreon, I suppose it won't change much at the updates, he can't be much slower.
