I get that. My suggestion was to change the "payoff" part of it. Perhaps the payoff is different sex positions, costumes, etc. Really, they could sacrifice a few dozen handjob renders and move things along briskly, instead of padding out the space between "reward" type h-content.
My other point was that you could have a system that indicates progress without assigning "stats" or "numbers" to it. "She feels really close to you now", "She seems less hesitant to try new things now", etc.
Yeah, the difficulty is that there really does need to be numerical stats in a game by the nature of it. And often times when you hide those variables from the player it feels more frustrating than intuitive. Usually it devolves into "How many times do I have to buy her lunch before something happens." as opposed to seeing some sort of stat threshold to work to.
And the stairway to heaven has two uses. The afore mentioned 'feeling of progress' for a player is one. But also its for trickling content from your patreon. If there was some more realistic relationships then creators might have to be creative in new scenes rather than just updating a change log to say "mom's handjob scene added, Sisters anal scene added."
