Why do these games have to have so much unnecessary dialog? Does anyone actually sit there and read it all, really?
Obviously. In the end there are plenty of games around which do have a much simpler, basic story and which are probably closer to your taste. If you just want to have some quick fun/scenes, this pretty much isn't the game for you ...

And if you do not want any story at all, there are even some simulators like "Wild Life" out there - or you could just watch porn, of course.

actually, i like the beginning of the game, the pacing was perfect. Now it's just drawn out gibberish. I guess you're saying people like to sit, for literally hours, reading boring dialogue? You think that makes for an interesting game? Do you also enjoy watching paint dry?

Nah, I pretty much disagree. In the beginning the quests were just bad and all you did in for example Jenny's or Erik's story was to earn money via the same minigame to either hand it to them or buy stuff which you then handed to them. It was a simple and pretty "boring" design - but sure, you got the scenes faster.

And yes, I like light dialogs at times and given that the game got even more popular since he started to have these, I'm certainly not alone. It's sad, that it's not for you, but that's just the way DC decided the game should be.

yeah, it's really sad it's not for me it's just so sad, lol. Give me a break pal.

and there's dialogue in a game for the purpose of story, and then there's this. This feels like a slog, it feels like work. That's what originally set this game apart: the pacing. The pacing was right on point so you could enjoy the game, there was just the right balance of dialog and grind and reward to keep you going.

Now? Holy shit. I mean I'll read a lot if the content is interesting. But this shit?

Well, it's your opinion, just as mine is mine. Sure, the writing is a compromise as it is in any game, but if you think that SS has shitty writing, you probably won't like the majority of games here, either. Which is fine, of course...

Edit:
already have pregnant debbie poses?
Yes, a very long time ago, actually but it'll probably take another two to three years or so until she actually gets it in the game.

no, i dont, most of them are garbage because of the grind and bad writing.

Writing in a game should have a purpose, it should move a story or lead to action. Not a lot of small talk that does nothing to further a story. I've started many games and quit them after 10-15 minutes as I just don't have time to wander around aimlessly in a point and click game. What is the point exactly of boring your players to death and wasting their valuable time?

you know what a lot of the dialogue in this game feels like padding to extend playtime. I can't find a reason other than that.

DC makes most girls preg during the streams. He has some (like R[h]onda's and Annie's notmoms) that are years down the line until they get in the game. You won't see them unless you stalk the streams or check the leakers, or wait 3-4 years for them to be in the game proper

The average dev will cater to the average player and in that case you simply seem to tolerate way less than the average. Simple as that. Nothing one can do about it.

There's this thing called a VN if you want story-rich games. And there's this secret thing called "skip text" in Summertime. Most of what you write devolves into : the game isn't for me but I'ma spend hours in here telling people how much I hate the game for not cattering to my very precise needs. Dude, we get the game isn't for you, move on with your life and go find something you enjoy more, the game won't change overnight for you

i think i'll keep playing it actually but thanks so much for your advice. I'm sorry you took my criticism personally. Sad.

There's some really new places like Patreon and Discord where nobody ever heard of the game, you might wanna try those

Also, telling us over and over the game blows cause you don't like the dialogues/pacing isn't a critique, it's just an opinion. You never mentionned anything to counter what you don't like or come up with better alternatives/games to prove Summertime is pure garbage. Until you do that, you're just whining about how the game doesn't care enough about you to bent over backwards and do everything you wetdream about
