Is it really that surprising? Long-form fetish comics are among the harder stories to write for because, precisely as Kip says, you're catering to two camps: the plot crowd and the fetish crowd. And sadly these two groups are at odds with one another.
To illustrate: The plot crowd want to sit down and sink their teeth into a thirteen-course banquet; the fetish crowd are only here for ice cream. Indulging the banquet-goers drags things out for the impatient ice cream enjoyers, bored and uncaring about the dining experience; indulging the ice cream lovers with ice cream breaks further prolongs the dinner as a whole from the frequent interruptions and, at worst, can make the flow of the banquet muddled and confusing. Chocolate syrup and sprinkles over the salmon and whatnot.
I'm not suggesting that one can't enjoy both plot and fetish content or that one is superior to the other, but it is an extremely dificult balancing act without a proper harmonious plan behind it. Reacting to the calls from either extreme creates a lose-lose situation wherein no-one is happy.
Also, the longer a story goes on, the less planning there is behind it and as such there is less plot cohesion. As the story clumsily lurches between two gears of plot and fetish, they feel increasingly disconnected with one another, creating this meandering or cyclical feeling.
If I had one piece of advice to tell comic creators and writers it would be this: tell the story you want and shut out the voices surrounding you, even if that means developing a thicker skin and telling people to shut the fuck up. Fanbases ae fucking poison when it comes to knowing what they want..
