The result is a lackluster and disjointed story. The rest of the arc felt, as you said, comparatively lackluster in an emotional sense. But on my second, more critical playthrough, I didn't feel much more emotionally connected to Shizune and her story. I said no such thing, man. What I said was tha...

Also, regarding Shizune's route being the most rewarding... no, I can't agree with that. The apex of emotion for me was during Tongue-Tied and the subsequent Look Forward/Look Aside scenes. Compared to those, the very end of the arc felt like a relatively weak denouement, emotionally speaking. Rout...

To this day I can't decide if A22's a genius writer or a lucky cock. No other girl's route rewards the reader quite as much as Shizune's ('cept maybe Rin's). Lilly, Hanako and Rin are completely undemanding and serve you feels on a plate, Shizune makes you go Courage Wolf in order to earn your feel...

Damn, I wish I could've been that concise, ahahaha.

There. I said it.

You're not the first to say it and you're not the first to be wrong either.

To reiterate, wrong on every single possible level.

Ah, well then.

Wasn't it lemon-flavored?

Yes.

Actually it might've been both.

I will do everything in my power to make lemon highway a household inside joke worldwide, btw.

Wouldn't be much of an inside joke, then, would it? Hahaha.

I will opt out of seeing the rest of the endings, I hope you will reconsider eventually. I have to say, you will be missing so much if you only go for one arc. I can't recommend completing it 100% enough, every split-second of this game is just wonderful... well, except for the bits with Jigoro. Fu...

Right now, I'm leaning towards Fate/Stay Night as my next VN, but what else would be a good place to start? Jeez, I feel like I'm crossing the point of no return with this VN stuff D: I actually thought about making F/SN my second VN, but I ended up deciding against it - it's a really dense read, f...

Quartett is short and sweet, so I could jam it in with the beginner VNs. The story, while not all that great, has a god-tier presentation and is like an interactive manga. The epilogue that you get after you complete the routes is very heartwarming. Also, it's best to play Charlotte's route last. I...

I did have one problem, though. Hanako spoilers: The sex scene with Hanako felt like it was forced, like Hisao was taking advantage of her, somehow. I'm actually very much an equalist who considers that blame for such situations usually should be on both parties, but this is one occasion where I fe...

The sequel isn't as good as the original, but it's worth playing. If you want more visual novels, here's a good if incomplete recommendation chart. IMO, it's missing Princess Waltz, Quartett, Hoshizora no Memoria, and Deardrops. Out of curiosity, where on the chart would you place each of those, re...

I've been playing VNs for a couple of years, and my backlog STILL mocks me. :lol: Why would you say something so discouraging? Anyhow, the only problems with regard to pacing that I've encountered with Princess Waltz (despite it being a 10-30 hour ordeal, according to VNDB - my new favorite site, b...

I don't know if I should feel proud, sober, impressed, or damn terrified of what we all can do when we clash our heads together like this

Probably all four.
