I personally don't think it's bad at all. I like the slow burn; I detest the "Hey, my name's Bob!", "Hey, Bob, let's hop in bed together" lack of build-up in tons of games. I also don't feel like it's too slow in Summer Story. Not to mention, now we're to the point where the MC can have sex outright with Mia (until she goes away for awhile), and he can get a thighjob from Kasie now. There are probably some other things I'm not mentioning, but at least either of those can happen. Also, I don't think it will be a lot longer before Ashley is far enough along that she'll probably give the MC a handjob soon, and possibly even more in the next few releases. This game is much more of the speed I prefer; I've seen way slower progress in many games.
