Well, there is one random orc that you give a hand job to during a barmaid scene, and the nature of the scene makes it seem like there's probably going to be more with him in the future. But outside of that? Nerp. Not lately. Alexia doesn't exactly get much dick from anyone but Rowan.
Fuuuuck. Well, thanks for letting me know. Guess I'll wait a few more updates.

Frankly, I don't know why the devs don't play to their strengths: dirty NTR with Alexia. There are so many damn options they could throw at her character. It's a little frustrating seeing updates without having much Alexia. I can only hope that changes soon.

lol.
The game is broad in scope but quite a few people (probably a lot of the straight folk in particular) only care about Alexia. While the cast is much larger (and Rowan is the protagonist)

I think that’s a fair assessment. I really only care about Alexia and watching her go further and further down the rabbit hole (and seeing how Rowen reacts). I don’t care for any of the futa/gay scenes - that’s not for me but totally understand it’s to each their own.

Developers of course. It would be utter madness to do otherwise.

At most patrons vote for things like scenes in polls.

It does creates a vicious circle were a certain niche is voted a few times in a row by patrons, patrons who don't like that niche abandon the progress and then you end up from having broad appeal to very narrow appeal.
Not that is always a problem. But it would be in this case.

Problem here is that we're seeing a classical bi-polar identity crisis with the cyclical switch between various niches. At the start of the month, people want more NTR; The next month: less NTR and more domination. The month after that, less of both and more groupies, which then slowly cycles back into NTR. All of that on top of continuing to push the narrative further along with the aforementioned: this produces some pretty abortive themes that don't segue way in the manner that it should, while leaving some gaps here and there in between chapters. Sure they're pretty minor in detail but all those accumulating potholes are starting to become apparent enough that Venus is gonna have to spend some patches going back and fixing them; And I don't know if people are down with that at all.

NTR is one of the primary themes of the game, so a lack of it is going to draw complaints sooner or later. Especially when that lack of it is for the principal character that is meant to be involved in said NTR.

Personally my issue isn't with a lack of NTR, it's with a lack of compelling Alexia content. Rowan has the advantage of being the primary protagonist, and the design of the game means that minimum 2/3rds of all content is centered around him in one way or another. Alexia, by the nature of her design and the manner in which she is implemented into the game, plays a more passive role and that unfortunately means she suffers more from the fickle whims of the patreon base than Rowan does since his character has positive momentum with or without the support from the patreon and Alexia does not.

I love corruption arc of both protagonists. Tried pure vanilla playthrough once and felt unsatisfied. I wish we could separate the couple for good. Vanilla stuff is the weakest part of this game imo. Give me full-blown slut Alexia and evil pervert Rowan and I will be happy.

I wish they separated but worked together. Alexia has potential as a more active character, especially considering she apparently has ridiculous magic potential. I'd love an ending when Alexia and Rowan actually rule the castle with Andras and Jezera as their pets.

...I like the vanilla though. ^^' They're endearing. Though I do agree it would be great to see Alexia in a more proactive position especially when it comes to harnessing her magical potential. After all, she's a deuteragonist and has a renowned hero for a husband. (I'd like to see this power couple remain together but that's just me.) She definitely grows as a character and expands on her self-image during her time at Bloodmeen for sure. Regardless of any routes taken in game, who doesn't love Alexia, right? Even non-heteros seems to like her as far as I can tell. :]

I know there are only so many "events" in each of her jobs, but I seethe with disappointment every time we get a "It was business as usual at Alexia's job this week" events. Reaching "everything is normal" events should be an indicator that you've gone as far in that particular story line as you can until an overall narrative event is accomplished (like the entrance into the city, or the defeat of the large army, or the fall of the city).

As much as I love having her work in the tavern, or as a scullery/maid (for instance) I do wish each choice placed her further on a particular path of corruption:

Maid: Jez+ corruption.
Bar wench or Monster Pit: Andras+ corruption
Smith's assistant: Greyhide+ corruption (and possibly being closer to Rowan)
Librarian: Magic (and possibly Rowan+)

Working in the Barracks (Orc+ corruption) or with the Goblin caravans (Goblin+)are certainly an option there.

There's a point where another week of "Alexia cleaned stuff" is the worst outcome, especially since we can trigger Rowan sex scenes with at least three people in the castle any time we're there.
