Agreed. That's why I said, if you open yourself to other stimuli, then it gives yourself more chances to be "spoken". As for me, while I think I am (mostly) emotionally stable, I still feel touched by many scenes, and they gave me a lot of positive effects. Shizune's route helped me realize my own short-comings; Emi's route reminded me of my health (as I picked up my running habit); Lilly's, Emi's and Hanako's routes told me that in order that others can open up to me, I must open myself up to others. All of these helped me with self-improvement and interpersonal relationships. So I guess it also depends on what angle you are reading the stories.Xaredian wrote: Mon May 07, 2018 1:55 am I don't think it has or had anything to do with your experience within literature, but rather that it simply didn't speak to you as much as it spoke to others.

I love you, Hanako. I love you so much, that the thought of losing you frightened me so much..." -- Scene Adulthood

Re: What If Katawa Shoujo Never Existed?
Well, I don't know, it wouldn't exist and so I wouldn't feel like there's a gap in my visual novel experience.. But then, I would have maybe picked up visual novels later on (if I ever did) because the first I played was Everlasting Summer, a VN made by the Russian equivalent of 4chan, and the idea to create that game was inspired by the success of KS (as in, "hey look, the Americans managed to do a good game, channers are not just anons wanking in their basements, they can create something successful, we can do it as well!").
Plus, the second VN I ever played was, well, Katawa Shoujo, so I maybe wouldn't play VNs at all.

I would probably be be taking my life for granted at this very moment groaning about how I have to go to work tomorrow
and I would likely not have a list of VN's that I'm excited to get into as soon as time allows it - as this was the first VN I stumbled upon after feeling really unsatisfied with how short and inconclusive Doki Doki Literature club was(a game/vn I watched as a lets play on youtube before trying it myself, I never imagined myself being into anything like this and it's blown my mind)
