The real problem with L&F is that it's the rare example of a parody that isn't really silly enough, so it just ends up looking like slutty escapism.
I can see the shape of it, where the MC goes from having all the problems to no problems whatsoever, then discovers he's accidentally moved to some magical city that appears to be entirely populated by highly functional nymphomaniacs, one of whom is his casual billionaire boss.
If L&F was funnier or at least winked at the camera more, there's a lot here that would work as a joke about porn VNs: the constant extreme coincidences, the relaxed attitudes towards incest and promiscuity, the way every problem gets solved instantly with a short conversation, the MC fucking off from his high-paying job whenever he wants, etc.
As it stands, the only joke that really lands is Sophie as the slutty human resources coordinator, and I'm not even sure if that was intentional. It's like her job is to make absolutely sure that the sexual harassment happens.
