Even Lord Archive, or Red Rover, sometimes cannot make a plot that does little better than lead up to a sex scene, which takes up the majority of the lemon. Who has the stamina to have sex with people constantly, besides that of SNL's The Ladies Man Leon Phelbin?
I fail to see how this concerns me, but nobody ever mentions me anyhow. As for having the stamina to have sex sconstantly, try studying the mating habits of the big cats -- the females have so much stamina they actually do wear out their mates. Besides, even most lemon series don't make one character 'have sex constantly'. The various parts of End Game rarely have the same character being involved in two consecutive sex scenes or in the scenes of two consective chapters.

Though it may take longer to put in a story, it shall pay off in the end when people read the ENTIRE thing...
You want the gratuitous stuff from me? Read Digi-Slutz or any of my one-shots. You want less detailed, more plot based, maybe you could check out Lost Light. You want detail and plot, my best effort goes into Digimon Tamers: The Digital Matrix. And if you want sex-driven plot, that's the purpose of Future Lives.
Now for why they seem to ignore plot? It's not easy to work a plot which can drive a series in which each chapter can contain a sex scene. And, so, in such a series, the plot has to be vague and easily ignored for a good portion (according to you up to 1/3) of each chapter.
The fact is, at a site like this, most people do not "read the ENTIRE thing" unless it contains a sex scene in every chapter, or maybe multiple scenes. They also don't read things from authors they don't recognize (I want to get my name out there, I want to be recognized!). Of course, they often won't read "the ENTIRE thing" even with a sex scene in each chapter -- they may simply go on to read ONLY the sex scene.
That's why I cater to everyone I can, with all kinds of stories. It's the best way to attract a broad readerbase, and so I'll stick with it.
