It is useless to continue to twist my arguments because I have not clearly said that.
Your entire argument boils down to "stop demanding halfway competent storytelling in hentai you guys."
Which factually amounts to what I just accused you of.
A legitimate demand would be quality and investments to improve the main purpose of this type of games, which is h-content (for example improved CG graphics for h-scenes), and not for things absolutely optional .

As for the rest, the only important thing in an h-game is the fact that story is able to create a good number of quite erotic and perverse situations (especially with particular and extravagant situations or extremely descriptive dialogues, for example telling the point of view of the characters involved, or the fact that you should have in a game with a certain number of characters all types of sex with them, maybe with some not mandatory options to include or exclude some fetishes) in order to increase the overall erotic value and to give desire to the player to go on.
"Tell me how writing quality matters without telling me how writing quality matters."
And on that note lemme quote one of the reviews:
All in all, it's just not a good knock-off, and the text can probably be solidly skipped if you really want to see the H-scenes. You might want to find a 100% save for those anyway, as the context surrounding them doesn't make them any better than just going in through the gallery.
Plus many of the reviewers were less than impressed by the H-scenes themselves either so... yeah.
Making a good story, but bad h-content for an h-game is like making a lunch where all the food sucks, but the coffee is good. Can you say you ate well? I would say no.
As if ANY of that was a zero-sum game like you for some bizarre reason keep implying/assuming. That's a textbook False Dichotomy fallacy - those are quite independent variables which do not inherently overlap less still conflict with each other.
Though generic, derivative boilerplate story writing does have a certain tendency to correlate with generic, derivative boilerplate H scene writing. Lazy untalented hacks do be like that.
I'd also point out that people tend not be overly thrilled with good food being served on filthy plates in a pigsty. If you're going to use a metaphor do think it through properly.
But this doesn't necessarily include the story being particularly well written from a narrative perspective.
"Mediocre" is acceptable, "bad enough to be an insult to the reader" isn't. Doubly so if the latter is trying to take itself seriously because oblivious pretentiousness tends to sit poorly with audience that has any semblance of taste.
