... Or it could be a huge success. Some of his NTR-enjoying supporters (such as myself) aren't bothered if it's absent from his next game, as long as the writing and visuals are still good. And there are a ton of successful non-NTR games, so it's likely he would gain many new supporters as well.
Not sure about that one... commenting solely on the NON-NTR progression of the main story of PV, the story is rushed and due to many female characters the scenes are not distributed evenly.
I somewhat agree about the visuals being good, but not the writing.
Not sure if NTR/cuck fans will like the new game, and even after saying that it won't have NTR, the dev
may bring up what-ifs due to NTR crowd demands, it's yet to be seen.
In future it would be healthy for the dev to focus on one genre, having a mix never works there will always be pushbacks. There always will be people defending the genre that they like.
For new supporters, yes it may attract new support from the non-ntr fanbase if the story is good and models are hot combined where MC has a spine and isn't a pushover, since earlier it was mentioned that it was a serious storyline.
