If you want denpa then read Totono. It's a really fun game ahahahahHEHEHEHAEh *dies* 

I have only been reading early into Sakura no Uta so far and I'm already finding more enjoyment in it than I found in Subarashiki Hibi (I might even..). I'm sure you already know this, but Subahibi was the first considerably complete story (at least, thematically) Sca-ji wrote mostly by himself. As with but not because of that circumstance, he currently seems like more of an overtly earnest storyteller than a seasoned or great one. My bias towards Sca-ji lies at the principles he outlined in the latter most part of Subahibi and the philosophical idea he (attempted to) frame using the wonky narrative composition. Both traits of the story I put personal value into because they're certain reminders of something related to my situation and position (and because Subahibi was my sixth eroge xD) yada yada. But that bias doesn't make me love the game, it makes me love the creator as a person. At this point I'm all-accepting of his methods because I'd rather just converse with him, if through any possible medium. Although, I have no idea as to why other people like Subahibi...
I feel this has to be said because I do want to look at things from a more "objective" standpoint and move on after making these distinctions. That way I can then say valuable things about his works and him as a person. Seeing your opinion honestly helps me with that.

Definitely appreciating whatever Ezee has done for the team so far. It's sad to hear that one of your members is leaving, but life goes on. You guys have been doing a good job, imo. More power to your team~

The what? (ಠ_ಠ)
 
Anyway, Zalor deserves it. Took me a while to finish this since I had to push some of the work to other people, though it only delayed me by a single day. i blame lino for being lazy (◕‿◕✿)

Thank you so much, I truly feel honored for this post! I'm glad my work has been appreciated. 
 
 
This whole thing truly did begin with that idea. For those curious about the back story, in early 2014 or late 2013, Tay had this idea for a VN literary journal, and I was one of the people who applied to write for it. My article was going to explore the complex relationship between Mai and Sayuri in Kanon. The VN journal ended up not happening. My activity on the forums also gradually faded for a while, and then when I returned I felt really guilty as I remembered that I was partly responsible for the VN Lit journal not happening. So I finally sat down and rewrote the previous draft I had (I ended up scrapping most of what I previously had). It took a week or two of repeatedly rereading Mai and Sayuri's routes, writing and rewriting, and listening to the Kanon OST (for inspiration), and on June 30th I finally finished and published it on the forums. The first thing I did afterwards was pm Tay an apology, and I ended the message saying something along lines of "I hope you believe in the adage 'better late than never'". Since then, when a VN truly speaks to me I try to organize my thoughts of it on to paper (well, digital paper). Anyway, once again thanks for this post!  

He's getting fired for this, don't worry.

You can't stop me. You can never stop me. It'll never be over.

Join FSG! Soon we will unleash our forces upon the forums! Aha! Ahahahahaha!


Good article, Lino. I really enjoyed the other interviews.

Finishing a route is a BIG deal. Congratulations Lino! I agree with you and I know how you feel. The first route is the toughest one. Actually I just finished my first jp vn this March 13th. Let's continue doing our best

What blasphemy is this, Lino?
I can't believe you chose that guy over Rance.
