Actually, the general practice of current TiTS development is to leave the content that managed to get into the game be, with only one notable exception.

Why do I need to experience characters the way the writers intended? /
@balitz Method: Dude, you just don't like reading, lol. Everyone treats visual novels to the same flow standard as manga and anime, not realizing they're not really the target market. You're saying you just don't like an entire medium.

I'm fine with reading thousand page books.
But visual novels in general are trashy, poorly-written amateur hour dollar bin teen fiction and anyone who reads them with any regularity has to build up an immunity to their brand of paceless tonedeaf repetitive driveling. The total lack of any editing whatsoever means that they're guaranteed to have every single idea the writer had stuffed in there somewhere and the most common format for them (following a single character throughout their entire day for no particular reason) leads to an excess of "toilet monologues" where you're forced to read through every mundane activity in the character's life set to long internal dialogues about nothing.
And with that same total lack of restraint they'll always go into exhaustive detail about things that don't matter or make something that works better as an implication super explicit and spend too much time on absolutely everything or display no sense of what's effective and what isn't leading any scene meant to be dramatic to be SUPER DRAMATIC, anything meant to be sad a whole garbage heap full of tragedy in hopes something will work and so on. Basically all the worst habits of newbie writers combined with all the dumbest conventions of soap opera dating sims and/or supernatural battle series.
In this case the show took what worked (the comedic angle of the premise and the idea of some child soldier exploding people's emotional problems), boiled it down to the parts that worked and re-worked the ones that didn't into something that did. That's p. much the only way to approach visual novel adaptions and those that do it that way unsurprisingly blow their source material out of the water.

Smut writing does seem fun. Once I finish up with some prolonged family/estate issues and get myself back into my real life again I'll probably dip a foot in.
Everyone knows Rance is best eroge. After all, Alicesoft's current slogan is "Alicesoft is eroge maker" or something like that.
I mean come on, it's one of the few porn games I have seen that have fan made content (in the form of doujinshi).

Sadly, I've only got my hands on the weird Sengoku Jidai half-strategy installment of the series, caught my eye for specifically being a strategy eroge. Finished the main campaign and a couple of alternative faction starts. Muskets ftw.
Clearly you haven't delve deep enough into eroge fandoms. Even by just browsing doujin sites you stumble upon plenty of those, and then there are fan-disc versions of games.
Never forget that the Fate franchise started out as an eroge, and also happens to be prime doujin fodder.
There are like 3 sex scenes in Fate, and it's an 80+ hour novel. It's not really an eroge so much as a regular visual novel with sex in it. Those are fairly common in Japan.
No no, "fandiscs" are officially released products, so called because they're for the fans, and/or "fanservicy". They're usually released after the main product, assuming it did well in sales. Sometimes they're canon, sometimes they're not.
"Fan-made" visual novels are unofficial, made by fans, and don't really have any other specific name by which they're called. Well that's not entirely true, the word "doujinshi" is a blanket term for those kinds of things (at least in Japan). They're obviously not canon.
