Yeah I've got absolutely no issues with reading, but there's a line still, particularly in sex scenes. There's a lot of room between a couple paragraphs and a full 5 page essay, let alone some of the ridiculously bloated stuff theobserver has written. At some point you're just including text for the sake of text, knowing when you can be more concise is just as important a skill in good writing as anything else in my opinion.
That's true for novels and really any form of writing, but particularly so for RPGs that are at least supposed to be trying to be player driven. Huge long walls of uninterrupted text are completely author driven and you don't really have any agency in what's going on in the scene.
It's just kind of silly in sex scenes, because people generally aren't focusing terribly well at that point to start with. Drag it out too long and people just aren't reading your whole thing either way, whether they skip to the end in game or just never get there.
One good thing is that whenever my roommate finds me playing this, he's all like, "Yo, playing that literacy game again? You smart man"
