Man, T+this is a serious matter that we players and Patreons should be discussing on: how responsible are we for creating lazy and uncommitted developers in our community.
Of course, I must acknowledge that not everyone is like that, and there are still many trustworthy game developers out there. However, becoming a porn developer with a Patreon account is one of the easiest ways to get rich without actually doing shit. You don't even need to be a great coder, artist, or writer. With a smart marketing strategy, you can make thousands of dollars with just a Beta version and keep your audience hooked without releasing a single update for months.
This situation is getting out of hand guys.
And I'm really thinking that a huge part of this is our fault

I've said this before and ill say it again. There should be an per-update escrow system for funding these things, with clear standards in terms of what amount of content is released per update. Past a certain point of funding on patreon i've only ever seen games time per update increase. I can't think of a single example where it actually got faster. The fastest updates come when they are trying to get traction for the game, and the more money they get, the slower they come and the more excuses start appearing. The payment structure incentivizes taking as long as possible to get each update out while maintaining as many patreons as possible. Its a lot easier to keep 1000 people paying $1 happy, than it is to keep 1 person paying $1000 a month happy. The payment model that currently exists has created the incentive to stretch each update as long as possible once patrons reach a certain value. Unfortunately, there are more than a few people more than willing to continue excusing delays, and believing excuse after excuse. Even if many are legitimate, it is certain that there are many who take advantage of this system to extract maximum profit for as little in return as possible.

1-3 days for a whole novel? I don't know what they are smoking, but it takes days to iterate and create a consistent prompt for a single character, then potentially hours of generation to nail proper art for each scene if you want actual quality. It can be done for sure, and AI tools can be used to be a great help in creating a VN, but unless they want to produce incoherent mess with shitty art, the whole "1-3 days per game" is utter bullshit. At least with the level of AI tech we currently have.

The big problem is the limits that AI publishers set against lewd content without that we would be much further already.

Does anyone have image rips for the latest scenes? As in the new scenes of lily is everything obscured in the scene in terms of her nipples/penetration or no.

It is hard to believe that Patreon is not concerned about this matter, and that makes me think that they will not change it in the short term because they are getting huge profits from this behavior too. The funding system seems harmless, but it turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing for Patreon: the more you pay, the lazier the developer becomes, and the fewer benefits you get from your money.
The truth is that I love these games, but it seems that nowadays we are making a lot of wrong people rich (not all, obviously).
