I doubt the majority of GGGB fans (men) played GGGB for relatability. As a general rule, guys play female protagonist adult games for the corruption and as much sex scenes as possible. The over-the-top tone of GGGB encouraged that compared to how limited Good Ashley's opportunities were.You didn't like GGGB then?
ORS on the other hand, with the more realistic tone (and playable Ian for balance), reinforces the idea that you should be more attentive to your choices, and it immerses you enough that you would want to care for the protagonists and wish for them to succeed in their endeavors. Just look at how universally despised Robert is, even though he kinda acts as early-game Arthur-lite, the corrupting/liberating force for Lena that gives you a lot of sexy content. And yet, people ignore him despite all that, because they can't believe that any person in Lena's shoes would have self-esteem so low that they would so readily jump Robert's bones. But that could also be the factor where they just want Lena to be a faithful waifu to Ian instead of acting like an independent person.
IMO, if Ian wasn't a playable character, the majority of comments here would be negative, saying that this game is boring compared to GGGB because the realistic tone gets in the way of their desire to turn Lena into an ultimate brainless slut. For now, they're a minority because most of the players find the experience immersive enough to enjoy it through both POV's.
