Yeah, a good protagonist should be a super manly badass who doesn't give a fuck about anything. And he should curse, smoke, drink beer and after drinking the beer, throw the bottle at some bitch's head.

I think dropping the term "After story" from your minds is helpful, because the After part generally has a comparable length to the school part. It's not "Route+After", it's simply "Route".
And yes, every girl has between 8 and 10 H-scenes. Rikka has 10 and two of these can actually be skipped/missed if I recall correctly.

You forgot Nastuki. According to trip, Natsuki is the shortest route. 
I don't remember my exact times, but Marika is a tad longer than Misa and Sora would be in the middle overall. Touko is apparently long, but I haven't finished that one yet. 

I think the common route would've had a neater impact if it ended in a life lesson.
 

I wish I had magical translation notes that let me translate something without knowing the language. Lucky OP.

I'm on the complete opposite end; I hate the "realistic" (can't fit enough quotation marks around that word, so I wont even try) first time scenes, where the guy busts before putting it in, the scene has to stop in the middle and/or the everpresent painful hymen breaks. The main attraction of fiction is escapism, so why would I want to escape into incompetent fucking? 
Same reason why I don't want to see condoms. I have to deal with this sense-numbing garbage IRL already, because out here pregnancy and disease are actually a problem. So keep that stuff the fuck away from my fantasies at least.
@the original topic: Drawing a good H-CG is hard, considering you have to see the important parts without obscuring the POV of the camera. Everyone hates floating dicks, so sometimes the art requires a dumb and uncomfortable sex position to show everything off or to simply have more variety. If we go by an average 3-scenes-per route, 4 main characters basis, drawing the same 2 or 3 positions 3 or 4 times would get both boring to draw and to look at pretty quick.
That applies to porn in general and is the reason why it's 18+. 

Where is the fun if they cut out the eldritch horror?

Yes.

I've been brainwashed by my Stockholm Syndrome to love mosaic.  If there is no mosaic, I can't fap. 

Can't wait to get the bad ending first try because I'm too much of a coward to confess. Just like in real life. 

I just find the way to fix the force close after you finishing two or more heroine route bug on the game.
First try to open the game, even if it keep FC it will open and running eventually.
After the game open and running put it on window mode, after that push ctrl+alt+del button and choose cancel.
You'll find extra menu on the top of the game page. Choose screen setting and set it according to your pc screen resolution (mine are 1920 x 1080), close the game and done.
I can open the game just fine without FC anymore 😊

Don't worry, Barney is I am here to save you, by explaining how Pepe Silvia Chiho works
As we see here, it's not that complicated of a story. The execution of it all is just pointlessly confusing. Everything happening between step 14 to 18 happens in a span of 20 minutes and Chiho's epilogue is basically just her attempting to tell you what happened in 15 minutes of straight expository dialog.
I don't think would've been a bad story if someone ironed out those clunky parts in a second draft, but the real issue with Chiho is that both she and her route feel really out of place. The tone, content and character has nothing to do with anything else that is happening in Sukisuki. (Even QP fucks off for almost the entire thing, although they did adress that.)

I use escapism to nurture my crippled mental state, so I obviously get really deep into those feelings. On the condition that the writing, atmosphere and/or characters made me care enough.
