Some of those things have been argued, but also have had counter points that I would say are pretty strong arguments to dismiss the theory.I just replayed the game and frankly I have started to have a more detailed vision of where this might be leading, on the slut path I think the MC is going to basically run a porn empire, just like the bad guys want to do, built around Lacey. Basically she'll be a porn actress and fuck people on set, while the MC is going to run the business and fuck his harem of girls. It will be a bitter sweet ending where they are still married, still in love, effectively in a open relationship, having overcome their jealousy and using the porn to sort of keep Lacey more pacified. They'll effectively just give up trying to keep their relationship under control and just go with the flow, no matter how their relationship might grow weaker due to the inevitable distance growing between them.
One thing I noted is like you said, I believe Lacey is trying to corrupt the MC, she thinks at one point to herself how he isn't ready to face her other self, but their are implication its something that she believe could be happening in the future, so its sounds like she think he is undergoing a process that would enable him to live with whatever 'her other self' is supposed to be. Its possible that its her unstated goal all along, break him down until he is corrupted enough for her to be able to go back to some degree to what she was in College, I mean when you consider some of her 'Dark Fantasies' stated one of reenacting the 3 weeks with Isaac, but with him and the other I forgot, but its in a similar vibe, its clear she want him to treat her like a slut, Hell, if you read the walkthrough she get bonus love points on the Slut Path, so yea that is what she want, to return to being a slut, his slut but a slut none the less, she is trying to break him down into accepting that, accepting to let her be a slut, likely abandoning their 'normal' life in favor of living a more depraved lifestyle, which goes again into why I think at least on the Slut Path at the end they are going to go into the business of porn, between her that is going to be an actress Veronika reopening her OnlyFans under the control of the MC, its obvious their is a subtext of heading toward a porn career for the group.
As for the punishment path, it might be something less like porn and more like a sex club or something, getting into a BDSM lifestyle with the MC as her Dom (while in truth she is going to be the one in control), so she'll effectively manipulate him being into commanding her to sleep with other people of his choice, like she mentioned that she'd fuck anyone he'd ask. So to give him a false sense of control over her, while achieving her own depraved goals of returning to a more sluttish life. So again corrupting him so he'll be capable of accepting her 'other self' which is likely in actuality her 'true' self, the one she became in College, rather than the tone down pretense she had to embrace since returning to him for the sake of not scaring him away, after all she also said she'd lie to him and say and do anything to get him back, so pretending to be a good wife, while secretly being a slut that aspire to be freed from the pretense, so she is working on turning her husband into someone that would be capable of accepting her as she became in College.
I assume the Vanilla Path would be basically the path where she failed to corrupt her husband and has to keep her other self permanently repressed. Having to accept to live a lie rather than lose him. So at the end its going to be them being together while he still has his girls on the side, not a satisfying ending for her, but better for him likely. I mean she clearly stated that even if she fell out of love with him she would still stay with him because she owes him too much. So yea either three of the paths would lead to a bitter sweet ending that would likely leave their relationship variably weaker, but no matter what she wouldn't leave him because of that debt she feel she owes him.
That said, I don't know... but I will say that I don't think the professor is going down a standard NTR route (he is pretty clear he dislikes those types of stories), so while I do think there are some "gotchas" coming in various forms, I don't think we are likely to see the MC or even Lacey for that matter develop to those theories. They are loosely supported and have major conflicts with a large portion of the character writing so far.
Like I said, it is really early in the story to see how this plays out and so far the "choices" the player makes are less "game" and more story flavor, but ultimately this is just a linear story so far. Nothing you choose has any real major direction change, but this could change.
I would be disappointed if this story turns more into the traditional NTR slop out there and I honestly don't think that is where we are heading. That isn't to say we won't be in for some major story turn or resolution, if you have played "On Distant Shores" (his other VNs), it had a rather hard turn that people disliked, so there may be something odd that could twist in.
