i understan anon

speaking for myself, there has to be a balance. character interactions shouldn't come at the expense of plot development, and vice-versa. madan no ou is one of the few ln's i've read that struck a perfect balance, and while dxd has been a bit lacking in romance progression, it still has a better balance in spite of the editorial factors compared to ln's that really too much on writing crutches/one trick ponies.

and the ex sidestory confirming issei getting laid is literally no different from off page action anyway. none of these ln's will actually describe the deed and it's better left to our imagination anyway... unless you're into SAO 16.5 type writing
