i completely get that about AL, it really can be a mood killer lol. honestly what it really comes down to is DPC (more specifically Being a Dik) was the first great creator I found when discovering lewd games. the style of the storytelling in Dik is just the right amount of dark for me, especially when compared to AL. I think we are really debating personal writing tastes here because I really really enjoy Caribdis' work but the imperfect (dark) elements in a story really elevate it for me.
definitely a good discussion though. we are working from my list of great creators, do you think there were any i missed in my initial reply?
