Honestly, I find it disappointing when authors use incest in light novels as a gimmick.
Well, I also think that people are using the term "incest" incredibly broadly. In anime-community-speak it seems to mean "any actual or implied romantic feelings between relatives, whether blood-related or not". Like, Eromanga-sensei has two people who become siblings through their parents' recent remarriage; asking if it's "something that could have worked without incest" is a pretty sweeping statement in its own way.
