It is, if you count the mountain of fanfiction. ;)
Also, there has to be a chocolate chapter, if you know what I mean. :lol:

Finished all good endings, changed my life, etc. Now what?

Post by Superdingo13 »

Been playing for about two weeks now, and just finished the good endings for every route (Emi -> Hanako -> Lilly -> Shizune -> Rin). Lilly's was my favorite, though Emi and Hanako's tied for a VERY close second (I'll admit, cried like a little child in all three). This was honestly the first thing to get such an emotional response from me,out of every other video game, movie, TV series, book, music, anything.

Made me rethink my life, I've always been an introverted guy, pretty unhealthy and self conscious with very few really good friends. As a freshman in college, I've had to leave several friends behind and though I've met a few new ones, kind of feel lonelier than ever. Katawa Shoujo made me motivated to change that, I've started getting in shape, tried being more outgoing, and I think it's going well.

Unfortunately, now I'm in a bit of a dilemma... I don't know if I really want to go back and see the rest of the bad/neutral endings. I think it's such an amazing game that I want to experience all of it, but I don't know if my feels can take it... Right now I've been kind of taking a break from it, listening to the soundtrack (again, one of the most emotional I have ever listened to, Painful History and Innocence bring me to tears every time), but I'm not sure how to approach the rest of the game, if at all.

Should I push on through the feels or just leave it how it is and relax knowing only the blissful side of the game?

tl;dr Feels were felt, tears were shed, I regret nothing... Wat do?

Considering the fact that you reacted strongly to this game and feel motivated to make changes in your life, I'd suggest you not to read the bad ends. At least for now. Yes, this is a game. And yes, this is fiction. But what is real, is the effect it had on you. How it changed you and the potential to build a better future. Reading the bad ends will most likely only make you feel down; unable to do anything. You've got the momentum going for improving your life now, use it to your advantage.

Furthermore, I suggest you read this excellent FAQ by ProfAllister; especially the part about feels:

You're gonna carry those feels

See you space katawa
When the war, has been won
And our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
What was won? what was lost?
Will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?

Get the bad and neutral ends too. They're worth it. Finish up with Kenji's end for a laugh.

Now that I've had a few days to let the feels settle, I think I know what I'll do. Probably start going through the endings, neutral first, and in order of least favorite characters first (Shizune -> Rin -> Emi -> Hanako -> Lilly), then if (when?) the feels get unbearable, I can fall back on the good endings once I'm done.

And BlackWaltz, screw you! My heart wasn't ready for the feels again! Had to go to bed with all those thoughts coming back! :P

Jigoro was actually one of my favorite supporting characters... Sure he was a complete asshat, but in an awesome, hilarious way!
