Sandbox or story | Poll (Patreon)

Hey,
So I was wondering, what is more important to you in Astral Lust, its story part or sandbox part. I don't mean if you like story sex scenes more, as there is many more scenes, so you probably do. I ask if you like more following story, or going on your own doing whatever you want without care.
As I work on combat code I wonder about this. I mean game needs to focus on something. Most renpy games focus on story, but not all. Ex. Slave trainers. When combat is finally reworked, sandbox part will become much better.
I have plans for the game, but some parts can be made sooner or later, and I was wondering recently if it wouldn't be better to focus on sandbox part first, so that replayability comes first.
I might have been influenced by sandbox games. Looking for inspiration and ideas to improve gameplay, I've recently played some slave trainers like WhoreMaster, WhoreMaker, and Jack-o-Nine.
Don't look up the last one if you're not a total degenerate like me. Even my stomach was disturbed at some scenes there. In Jack-o-Nine you can train your slave, train her to be animal and sell her to restaurant that sells human meat, requirement for slave is that she'll be obedient, behaving like a pig for customers before they slaughter and eat her. Or you can just take your slave to a butcher to get some meat off her. Sick shit like that. Not recommended for most people, eye opening, though. Something to see when you've thought you've seen everything already. Its slave training mechanics are very complex and good, though. It's just the setting that is extremely disturbing.
