I need at least 2 updates a year for a game that I really like, and for any other games if I don't get an update every other 3 to 4 months I lose interest.

If old game saves don't transfer to new updates I'll keep playing if the gameplay isn't too complicated, if it's a VN then most of the time I'll just skip through the dialogue by pressing the alt button and stop once I get to new content, but if the game requires me to grind and play mini games...
I tend to be indifferent to music most of the time, I mute the music and play something lo-fi or asmr whatever helps with the mood. Most music choices that games have tend to be a bit more distracting than helping you get into the story.
It's a combination of everything; a great story, good character designs, good art work and fluid gameplay/ animations. Personally I prefer VNs when it comes to adult games since I don't play them for a challenge but as a way to unwind.
I keep it simple I just check the latest update tab to see what's new, if a game I haven't seen before catches my eye I'll download it and give it a try.
Sharing and NTR tend to go hand and hand, sometimes sharing leads to NTR or a person is shared because they got NTR'd but at the end of the day they are separate. There's plenty of games and hentai where a person gets shared but they don't get NTR'd.
I tend to burn out on games if I've played it multiple times or if I put to much time continuously. Now in days I'll hit a new game hard on day 1 and then I limit my time every day, it makes the game last longer and I find myself looking forward towards my game time.
