All new pictures are like that, as far as I know. Done by same artist, and not the best one.
I think original all-over-the-place variety of styles was much better than what we've got now. Sure, some artists weren't great, but there were always others.
About scenes - there are pure non-con scenes that doesn't turn into con. Small portion, but not a rarity. The only constant is that every scene is very vanilla when it comes to trauma, both physical and mental. No injury, no broken victims, no sadism.
But you have an option to make your character more and more corrupt - no matter how I love to rant about game lacking darker path, its kinda there. Underdeveloped, but there. I would suggest picking farm MalePC - he has by far the biggest corruption potential due to farm mom content (your protag literally coerces his own mother to become his personal sex-slave). Game even has an evil ending if you are into that, and you can corrupt three of your followers (Meredith, Ruksana, Clawyn). Devs also promise to expand Mayla content for more evil playthroughs - and Mayla is plenty evil. All in all, yes, you can go for slow corruption.
So I guess you could at least try it when the game would have a full release. Or some time after, when the game would have an inevitable bug fix.
Speaking of which - sadly, no, I haven't encountered much bugs and so struggle to give any meaningful specific advice. What you describe sounds extremely broken - its not suppose to work like that at all. Maybe its a specific character problem?
