I disagree that the writing is getting worse or that it was bad to start.
However, the grammar in WTHI is a bit unusual. Exclamations are abundant! Almost everything is exciting! But sometimes that's not enough ... An ellipsis brings home the point with a bang! Also ... Interjections!
This definitely impacts the feel of the writing. I think sometimes characters lose their voice a bit and speak too similarly to one another. The grammar probably contributes to this.
But it's not bad. It just has its own flavor. It's not what I would expect from a book, but it doesn't detract from the game. In fact, it suits the game's vibe. The style seems comfortable for the writer, too. I wouldn't want more professional writing at the expensive of productivity. And, uh, if a professional writer is simply someone who gets paid for writing, then by definition CG is a professional. Heh.
Overall the writing is great for a porn game. I can tell there is effort to maintain characterization, which includes the dialogue. The conversations move things along and are often funny. Episodic games like this don't have the benefit of being carefully edited and crafted together into a book, yet the writing in WTHI maintains a consistently high level of quality.
