A Vn means that the choices we make as the player takes the story the way we want having choices to ingore Lucy the whole game is our choice and what the dev did was force the story on to us with the whole lucy scene which becomes a KN at that point Just saying. And it is a forced sex by the way.
From almost the beginning it's clear that the Dev's intention is for Lucy and the MC to have a romantic relationship. Her thoughts and certain comments about her at certain points in the game make it clear that this is what the Dev prefers, or at least that is what it seems. Of course the curious way to get the key isn't at all strange for this type of game, and fits perfectly with what seems to be the Dev's intention that the main route of the game is to start a relationship with Lucy. What isn't so normal is that, at that point, the scene happens without being taught to the player.
Here it's better to recap how the game has progressed. At first, the first scene of Lucy with the antagonist was mandatory to see. After the criticism the scene continued, but from then on they were able to skip those scenes and futa (or trans, I don't know for sure what the correct word is). They kept happening, but you could avoid seeing them. This of course caused a number of people to discard Lucy as LI altogether, with subsequent criticism of the fact that there was going to be a mandatory sex scene between them. The dev decided to keep his idea (the magician's plan for Lucy and the message was consistent for a porn game), but, I suppose that seeing how badly Lucy falls (at least among the most boisterous of the place) he decided that it was best prevent the scene from being seen (really the only important thing for the plot is the word or phrase that Lucy says, the other is secondary) Of course, considering how the Dev had decided that the plot should unfold, the scene is inevitable , follow the path you follow.
I think the original idea was to make the scene and for people to see it, I suspect it didn't happen because of he want to avoid more complains
For example i want to saves both of the main females in 'Acting Lessons', but the planned story was you can't have them both. So the game forced you to pick who you want to save and let the other one die because it's how the story was supposed to be.
And I never got past that choice. I have no interest in knowing how the game continues. In fact when I got to that point I closed the game and immediately deleted it.
Now, the planned story for Lucy was there's someone who put a spell on her and that she have to get rid of it, but in order to do so she have to have sex with the main character. So in this case ignoring her won't change the fact that mc will still have to have sex with her for at least once. That's why they didn't make renders/images for this particular scene because it's not considered as sex scene, it's just how the story was supposed to be. And about this one being kinetic or not, if it is, the moderators would tag the game as one sooner or later. Let them decide.
Actually I think that not rendering the scene of the MC with Lucy has a lot to do with the animosity poured on her. For this he already made skippable all her scenes with guys other than the MC (and with the futa or trans characters, I don't know what they really are).
In fact, I guess, because of how the character is presented, that the original idea was that Lucy was the main interest of the MC, with Mallory being a second option (the other main LI, but behind Lucy) for those who didn't have a great interest in Lucy. But the scenes where she has sex with her antagonists made a lot of people complain about her and completely lose interest in her.
Possibly the intention was that the sex scene between Lucy and the MC was part of the main story (and that the player see it). But I suppose that the Dev preferred to leave the sex scenes between the MC and Lucy for her route and thus avoid further complaints from those who don't want to see Lucy with the MC in any way.
