Been a while since I played but if memory of the good and the "good" endings serves very few of the Witches survive.

Carol, Edna and Carla survive them all as far as i'm aware.

I can't remember for the life in me if those 2 you mentioned survive or not. I'm pretty sure in one ending they do but i'm unsure about the world rebuilt one.

Irene is another i'm unsure of.

I know Sandy and Isabella don't survive but fuck those 2..... to be fair Sandy is gorgeous.

Same reason we get a boner from rape or bdsm, violence is pleasing to the human mind its why we go to action movies and enjoy watching hundreds of people die whilst eating popcorn.
This goes in the right direction, but is also kind of simplistic. It's a little deeper than that, as Stephen King would have said.

Maggot Baits is one of my favorite games, but for its story rather than its fetishes (I'm totally put down by maledom; but in many scenes, if I could reverse the gender polarity, then the general idea becomes just lovely).

Lets all be honest here. Anyone that has ventured far enough in their tastes for porn to come here looking for it, is a bit depraved and possibly fucked in the head. Nothing wrong with that of course but some people like NTR for reasons not understood and some people like tentacle rape with maggots and gore.
I think there are reasons for that, and I think about them a lot. But you're right that these things can be done in a sane way, so they are not in themselves harmful.

There is really no "good" ending, there is what you might call a horrible ending ("Welcome to the Monkey House"), an "abstract good / agape" ending ("Red Harvest") and a "personal good / eros" ending ("Ashes and Diamonds"). In none of these endings do all the "good witches" survive. Wilma always has a bad ending, though the intensity varies; the same for Gloria. The really interesting character in this sense is Allison, who you might say has the most growth in her arc. The girl you mentioned, Serika, ran away in one ending, was abandoned and had a terrible death in another ending, and had an... interesting empowerment scene in the third ending.
Maybe spoiler tag?

How is this harmful? Or even insane? Nobody was hurt in the making of this VN.

How innocent you are. Maggot Baits is tame.

After Nikuniku everything seems tame...
It's funny how people compete in the Perversion Olympics. "You think that's extreme? Hah! You're a newbie!" Depending on the writing and worldbuilding, and more importantly on the reader/gamer, a slap on the wrist can be extreme. To cite Kokor Hekkus, "[...]to produce the maximum effect, one must identify and intensify those basic dreads already existing within the subject. [...] A nightmare is the result of the under-mind exploring its most sensitive areas, and so serves as an index for the operator [= game developer])."

You're right. I'll add them now.

I was reacting to a poster who claimed people needed to have "fucked up" tastes to enjoy such kinks, which struck me as a claim of harm. I actually agree with you, but I happen to like thinking about the origin and consequences, ethical and otherwise, of such tastes.

If you can ignore the gore then the writing is actually really good for this one.

My only issue is the endings are so trope like you can see them coming a mile away.

Ending 1 can be considered a "bad end" even though it isn't. It's only really bad for Carol. Ending 2 is her good end even though her love still dies at least she doesn't go on a murder rampage.

It's the bittersweet trope of tropyness.
