Random rants regarding VNs I read.

Chrono Clock - Miu and final thoughts

Miu Well, he was right. This is not a route, but a mini-route. That can be finished in 15 minutes tops. The content is itself not bad, just standard charage stuff. Don't expect anything great.   Final thoughts On hindsight, I might not have needed to split the whole VN into so many posts. But I thought of writing them as soon as I finished them, so it ended up being that format. Anyway, I'll just list down my complaints first: 1. The central plot device could h

Chrono Clock - Cro

Cro And the VN threw a curveball at me when I was thinking it was a charage all along... The first part was so fluffy I was afraid I'd float away from my desk out of the window. I cried quite some during the climax. And then cried some more in the epilogue. All that being said, the story in this route is a bit different from all the 4 other routes till this point. The situation and the setting itself was pretty crazy, but they actually went through with it. Of course, the conflicts tha

Chrono Clock - D.D.

D.D. Well, what can I say... This route felt so much better than the all other 3 routes. I think you should do yourself a favor and save this for the last, not only because this is probably the most emotions packed in it, but there's another different reason I won't spoil, and you might realize if you're reading VNs for some time. It also happens to be the most "conclusive" of the lot for obvious plot reasons. To be honest, I cried a little. Overall, based on the above 4 routes, I say

Chrono Clock - Makoto

To be frank, I originally planned on writing a combined post on D.D. and Makoto once I finished reading both their routes, but turns out I didn't have the steam to read route after route in succession, so pardon me while I write them in separate posts. Makoto First of all, this route is much shorter than both Misaki and Michiru routes. About 2/3rd, or even close to 3/5th, I'd say, given it took 2 hours even reading slowly. That being said, honestly speaking, this route caught me o

Chrono Clock - English phrases I didn't understand

EDIT2: Well, this post seems to be drawing quite a lot of flak than I expected. To be honest, at first, I intended to use this post to list the phrases I didn't understand during the course of reading it. But due to my tone, I ended up coming off as arrogant and not willing to learn, which I won't deny. This only shows how little practical English I know. Thank you for the comments, guys. I'll put in more effort. EDIT: Before anyone misunderstands, let me first say the script is very good.

Chrono Clock - Misaki

Well, since I marathoned Misaki's route in another 3 hours after I wrote the last post, I thought I'd write about it here. Misaki Well... I admit. I am quite fond of the tsundere genre, maybe because I haven't been overexposed to it to death yet? Nevertheless, after I read this, I realised it'd have been several times harder to choose Michiru had I finished this route first. So choosing Michiru was a blessing in disguise of sorts I guess. Why? First off, maybe I am highly biased b

Chrono Clock - Common and Michiru

Well, I do seem to be jumping about different VNs, alongwith watching anime and all, but yeah, variety makes it exciting! Anyway, with Chrono Clock having been released on Steam and other platforms, and me having them, I thought of giving Purplesoft a spin. Because why not? But, first things first. It's been a while since I last read a translated VN (a couple of years I guess?), and this is an official localization of the same. So, I kind of want to get rid of that itch in my back firs

[PS Vita] Photo Kano Kiss - Mai

Since they are giving this game in this month's Free-to-play games for PS Plus subscribers, I decided to give it a shot. This is a dating sim in its purest sense I guess. You basically have to find girls, talk to them well, and then go towards their route, having somewhere around 49 days, 4 slots per day to do so. Another plus point about this game is that it has a component of taking pictures of the girl you like. I found myself guilty pleasure in this, and enjoyed it quite a bit. However,

Senren Banka: Mako

Finished up Mako's route just now. This was actually done over two separate days, one back in end-November, and another, now. The 6 hours part from the starting of the route till the confession felt like a blissful dream and went by in an instant. Reading it was so fun and enjoyable. I decided to resume the part after that after some time. But it might be because I had not read the story for over 1 month, or it might just be due to my preferences, but I was not able to enjoy it as much

Where is Senren Banka based on? Very short version

I'll make a more detailed post about this later, but apparently Hoori (the name of the town) is based on real-life Kyoto, including spots as the Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka. And the Tomita family shrine is based on Ikuta Shrine in Sannomiya, Kobe. Too lazy right now, but hopefully by the end of this month, I'll make a more detailed writeup. Hopefully... If someone is going to Japan before that and would like to see the spots, please drop me a message. I'll unlazy myself and get to work...

Senren Banka Part 1

Maker: Yuzusoft Release Date: mid-2016. I had run into this VN by chance when I was looking through the ones about to come out back in May. I read the trial first, and enjoyed it a lot. Enough to pre-order the VN and collect all the goodies (sans the NSFW stuff of course). This VN is set in a fictional modern-day town in Japan that happened to escape modernization and has only recently started coming in contact with the normal world. Our protagonist arrives there initially to help

What this blog is supposed to be about

Let  me put down a few clarifying points regarding this blog. I kind of felt that I had to write down my feelings about VNs I read somewhere, and this seems to be a nice place for the same. I also drew much of my inspiration from Clephas, who is my guru when it comes to VNs (I proclaim this myself). 0. This blog is NOT a review or what-to-read-next-recommendations site. This is only about the VNs I read and want to write about. Besides, I have got nowhere enough experience to be doing
