My least favorite ones are probably the "No Life Dad", "The Creeper", and "The Gentleman".

I doubt many people like "The Grind"
I think they, together with "Retard in Lechertown", belong to a trope group that should be called "The writer has no idea how adult heterosexual interactions work" and especially, has

. The basic dichotomy I see is that of the "Proactive male/reactive female" vs "reactive male/proactive female" tuples.
"Proactive males" work out to males creeping, tricking and whittling down "resistance" over time, which works out to those much hated gameplay tropes like "the gentleman" and "the grind". When the reality of heterosexual interactions is that women are sexually a lot more proactive that is even culturally acknowledged - outside of porn that involves actual women.
To make an example: Instead of "the gentlemanly creep", women dress lewdly and engineer "wardrobe malfunctions" to intentionally and willfully provoke titillation in the men they're interested in. That is the other side of the medal that is "creeping and peeping" - it's not necessarily something a man randomly does, it can just as well be something an exhibitionist woman tricked a guy into doing. Why did she leave the bathroom door open? Everyone knows how guys' eyes wander. Or, why would she not only wear something that would give full view of nipples, cooch and ass when bending over in a particular way, why would she then also bend over that way anyways? I merely wonder how adult men cannot understand that such things are fully intentional, even when it is skillfully engineered to be

or accompanied with "I'm such a ditz! LOL"
Women are also very well capable of progressing the "Stairway to Heaven" on their own to extract what they want from a guy - be that a free drink, a ride home, a shoulder to cry on, and to not a few women, sex itself acts as a tool to "extract" a relationship from a guy.
The irony is that porn games are apparently largely made by men who have never witnessed, much less understood what women actually do when it comes to sexual things. Sad to say, they're nerds, who know how to operate DAZ3D or an IDE with some skill, but not a woman.
Edit: And to put something in perspective: When we're talking about porn games with male protagonists, it becomes hard to conceive of a plausible female initiative that doesn't simply leave the male protagonist utterly powerless and reactive. Not doing anything, except wait for women to do their lewd things. That is simply a fairly boring game in the end with a boring male character. This means we can make the argument that all of
these tropes are actually necessary to allow for the type of games we have, now matter how much I hate them with a passion.
We can talk about how to construct a different game with a proactive male protagonist where the females are still proactive sexually, and we come to the conclusion that we're talking about a game where the male protagonist simply murders a lot of dudes (which is, for many women, the ultimate aphrodisiac) and then you end up with something like Duke Nukem, where babes throw themselves at Duke simply for his competency at murdering aliens. But Duke Nukem isn't a porn game for the most part.
A better writer than me may have better ideas on how to make male protagonists more proactive without the interactions with females ringing wrong. Maybe play an out-and-out rapist? How about a game where you're the

and you're a genius at what you do, there's plenty of opportunities for mechanical and puzzle-like challenges. I don't need to explain how many people would be greatly put off by the prospect of playing such a character, however. Alternatively, just let porn games be dominated by female protagonists, who can be more convincingly proactive for all the reasons mentioned - and the game mostly consists of "hunting for dicks", which again, will turn off a lot of male players.
