I'm agree with you about Scar of Summer. But there is a route well done imo. The best friend route.Agree with everything you said, except Scar of Summer being good. I found many of the scenarios to be recycle of old themes and outside of the realm of possibility.
There was the little kid route (the landowner shit, where they play a card game and if you lose, the girl is loaned?). Yeah wtf bro you shitting me? Yall fucking little 12 year old lil shits think you can blackmail a 18 year old guy and girl? We would just say "No you gross ass kid" and walk out of that tent. Ridiculously retarded MC and girl. You do this to 1000 high school kids, I am sure 999 of them just say "fuck outta here". The 1 being the girl a learning disability or some shit.
Then there's the homeless man route outside of the tutoring place. This one is probably the most unbelievable one. Yall EVER actually sit next to a homeless guy on the mother fucking train? Good lord. You can't even breathe. It's like smelling rotten garbage. It DOESN'T get better with time. It physically hurts your nostrils. You can't even think properly, let alone spread your legs / suck his dick / or talk to him. Completely impossible.
You have the school delinquent blackmail route where the girl doesn't reject the bad guy. "Oh no blackmail, guess I will do anything he says!". No cops involved, no dialog with MC, no trying to stop the bad guy. We've seen this a million times where the girl is a flaccid piece of meat without a brain who can't say No or think with her little pea brain and 100% submits to bad guy cock.
I didn't play all of the routes, but I dropped it after. Honestly not sure why so many purchase on dlsite. The diary is nice, the maps are nice (small enough). The fixed event, over time idea is nice. That's about it. It's average at best.

Heck even this oneYou must be registered to see the links, I think it's better than that. It's still a lil retarded but at least the art is pretty good. None of that gross homeless shit.
Goldenboy is pretty good:You must be registered to see the links
This one actually make sense with the succubus demon power shit:You must be registered to see the links

This was highly anticipated, still better than most games this year, but a drop in quality from his past few games: kuripick:You must be registered to see the links
It's something that could happen in real life, there is nothing absurd about it, you should try it.
But yeah, the rest of the route are meh.
