The feels are so common there are even Youtube vids about them.

Ah, the post-KS depression. It hit me hard as well, especially after Rin's route.

Do what you normally do pre-KS. Maybe play your preferred musical instrument. Cheer for your favorite sports team. And as the header of the forum says, remember.. (don't panic, it's just a game)

It's important to remember that you are not Hisao. He has so much characterization that he is a character in himself, not your avatar. I personally see myself as a spirit who just happened to have nothing to do and tag along with him.

I like to see the player as the disembodied spirit of previous Yamaku students. They all ended up "accidentally" falling from the roof and now they guide the new students to try and thwart Kenji's sadistic plans.

I'm not sure it's possible to be angry/sad while watching that...

Kenji had nothing but good intentions. What if Hisao was in a coma the whole time this game, and Kenji "killing" him wakes him out of it?

Pft. His good intentions are a lie!

Unless Kenji is the spirit, haunting the boys dorm....

I enjoy reading the testimonies people have about this experience, even more touched to see that some people had even more extreme emotional responses than I. And here I thought I was the one that wore my heart on my sleeve...

On second thought, I am 'feel,' my life is feels, I have nothing but feels. So to me, 'feels' are completely normal cause I live them every day and so they're not a special occasion to me. For someone else who represses all the time and believes emotions should be hidden, of course it will impact them even more than me. KS just took some of the things I wasn't doing right and helped correct them. I was in fact repressing a bit, and getting very impatient with certain aspects of my life, but peace and order has been restored.

Maybe women did kill kenji, and he's warning Hisao of them.

But anyway, the feeling is back again, I'm well aware they're fictional characters but still, it's just this weird empty feeling going on non stop. I don't know how to deal with it.

They may be fictional, but the emotions they invoke are real. Look deep inside you. Are you seeing something in the game that resonates with you? That may be it.

What he said. Also, there are tons of fanfiction and threads around here. The VN thread is full of VNs equal to or (allegedly) surpassing KS.

I have no idea. Maybe I want some kind of love or just friendship like that? Maybe I did fell for fictional characters. I was pretty content with my life before, I may have been wrong the whole time.

Live, don't exist.

The next day I went back and got her good ending and I was all better. Its happened to a lot of us. Just move on, and find something else. Some feel it helps to leave the game alone for a while then come back to it.

Worked for me. I took about ten days off from the game before coming back to it.
