Bro did you read Suba Hibi? I literally separate my life into post and pre- Suba Hibi periods.

SCA-自's other works immediately come to mind. 「サクラノ詩」 and his soon to be released magnum opus 「サクラノ刻」、just to name a few. Also check out 「終ノ空」、 it's an early 「素晴らしき日々」 draft of sorts. All of these novels are very artistic and philosophical in nature, that's just the kind of author SCA-自 is. See for example the subtle way he references ``art'' in this scene while in the process of making a piece of art himself.

That's because even in Subarashiki Hibi SCA-JI is already deeply concerned with the deep theme of life imitating art and vice versa. Just think about it, if you're a complex bully character in an eroge, would you ever want to just ejaculate quickly and not keep having the genuine fun you experience while raping someone for hours on end due to your inherent depth as a character? Of course not. This is precisely what SCA-JI understood and this is the reason for the length of most H-scenes. It's just what time truly feels like for characters on both ends of the suffering and this fact is used to great extents as a meta-textual tool. Something like this was already clarified in this thread.
But like with all of SCA-JI's work, we cannot just stop here, as there is a second deeper layer hidden somewhere nearby. If we take this second deeper view on the matter, we can easily see that this meaningfully used quote refers to how even the meta-act of discussing SCA-JI's works of art is blatantly a case of life imitating art. Thus we are immediately forced to conclude that any potential criticism of SCA-JI's work is self-contradictory in nature, since to criticize SCA-JI is to imitiate him. So the length of the rape scenes is easily seen to be both a meta-textual and a meta-meta-textual tool to deliver a very powerful message using the deep and limited perspective of the individual characters (us readers in the real world) and the individual bullies (complex and multifaceted writers in the real world).
