Came back after rereading this a second time in a while and honestly, I quite like this story. It's definitely not for everyone but I don't think it's anything all that different from something like Game of Thrones.
The incest was treated for what it was, I don't think anyone normal (that being the parties involved and the Fox) actually thought that it was something to be considered alright. I really do think if the psychological tag was added, the story would be treated for what it is, especially with the existence of the 'sequel'. I loved learning about the characters, especially Sana and the Fox.
I never felt like the incest was romanticized so I didn't mind it being used to show how emotionally depraved Sana was, it showed that she not only craved feeling loved from anybody, but that she was willing to do that in the first place due to how far she was pushed.
It could have been anybody, it just happened to be the only person who gave it to her in that moment, her own family. She threw away her morals and in that moment, she probably accepted she was no longer human anyways. It's meant to be disturbing.
Maybe its just me but just because the incest was included doesn't mean it can't be used as an interesting narrative device to explore a characters mental state. It's mainly what I see people complain about when it comes to the story, which if fine if you don't like it but I thought it served it's purpose well while reading.
