words cannot describe how much I hate the fact that I have to read a dies irae in a certain order,

I don't like Kasumi and the fact that I am forced to start with her really sours this whole thing for me, this VN feels a lot like fate stay night, except for the fact that in fate I liked all the girls, granted this might be heresy to say but I didn't love any one of them but they were at least likable, unlike dis annoying b*tch, also this VN might win my "most disturbing CG art" personal award, probably cuz I usually avoid these kinds of vn's that are on the more... seinen... I guess you would say, side

I do hope that like fate it adds and unravels mysteries across all routes and does not just dump everything in the first route

March 13, 2021

just a quick question, do you guys ever take notes when reading a VN to keep up with what's going on? I started reading dies irae and I swear can't keep track of anything

November 26, 2020

So considering that the steam autumn sales started while browsing around I saw said fate game on discount and noticed that it is actually a action game which is right up my alley, now I have read fate stay night but nothing else, I really want to read other fate related stuff but I also want to not hate life and be depressed for the next few months as well, my question now being is it okay to play Extella or should I read some other fate VN's beforehand or watch some animes <and if so which ones>? I'm not very familiar with the series outside of stay/night. I think fate zero is a prequel or something and I have seen other names around like grand order and such but I have no clue about those. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Bear in mind I prefer to go into VNs and games blind, I don't usually read the steam description or the VNDB description of things I plan on playing to keep as much of it as a surprise.

This one is super spoilery, so only open if you won't play it blind under any circumstances and need that info to decide.

Reveal hidden contents

Riches' Sister gets raped before joining your harem, pretty violently at that and rather close to the end of the game. That is the only occasion of one of the (at some point) main cast getting raped. I think what the other two mentioned wasn't entirely consensual on all participants, but acceptable within the games world and played as a joke. There are a few other scenes where heroines get put into compromising positions without getting into rape territory.

Stronger scenes that might put you off include drug induced forced breeding and a rape scene that gets pretty gory for some reason. (Not the main cast though)

I glad you gave the big spoiler warning, If id read that I probably wouldn't have read the VN, that was basically the one thing that I most fear that it would happin... and it did... and it was really really realllllly fked up, but the ending of that chapter was handled really well IMO, I really loved how they moved past that "incident" and the subsequent fate of that character.

I can't stress enough how impressed I am with the ending to that chapter, I really didn't think I would be able to move past that point honestly

January 16, 2020

I did it, i finished Evenicle, and for how fked up some scenes were... it had a really nice, satisfying and fulfilling end, also fucking loved all the lore dump that was done in the last 2 minutes of the game, so much info and all so fucking tantalizing. Overall even if some scenes were absolutely way too much for me, I'm glad I played it. It has some really nice art, the story is kinda nice, the girls are all likable, the protagonist too is a surprisingly likable guy, and the gameplay is even serviceable, I would recommend this to basically anyone with any sort of interest in VNs and Jrpgs,just be warned that this contains some really heavy materials not for the faint of heart, now for some spoilery talk

Spoiler

My fav girl, by far the best girl, got it really bad. Man I felt so bad for Natal, she really didn't deserve her fate, I feel that she drew the shortest stick in the entire VN, also for Riches sister, that scene was so fked man but surprisingly I was really happy at the end of chapt 6, I didn't think she would get into the harem and I had a really bad feeling she was going to die but the ending to chapter 6 was basically the best possible outcome for her story arc. I am genuinely impressed with how that arc ended and how it washed away the bad taste in my mouth.

Also kinda sucks at the end for most of the girls, Aster just fucks off to another world and leaves them behind, what if he never comes back, I feel really bad for them.

I'm glad that I didn't read the spoiler that Ruberick gave in the thread I started, that would have probably turned me completely off and I would have never read this VN.

I often times feel like VN's really hold back their punches, it always feels like the creator is afraid to kill off character or hurt them to much, this one is the exact opposite, I feel like this one just likes to give out gut punch after gut punch, but even so this did not leave me with the same depression I felt when finishing Fate. Guess that means it has a lil bit of mercy in it at least.

January 7, 2020

so i actually started playing evenicle,

If fate is like that goth kid who always wore makeup during high school and talked about how people are actually the worst and stayed away from everyone, Evenicle is like that always happy kid who always wears long sleeves and gets along with everyone that dropped out of highschool half way through and you find out years later that he killed himself because he couldn't take the abuse at home anymore, which is incidentally what I might do before I finish reading this.

Both horrible, horrifing stories, it's just that one tries really hard to hide it.

I swear I just finished act 3 and It's... so... FUCKED, and I know it's gonna get worse but for the first time in... years I'm actually excited about something, I'm actually thinking, I can't wait for this day to be over so I can go home and play some more, I can't even remember when the last time I felt something like this was

there's also that post Ruberick wrote in my forum post that is tempting me so hard but I'm way to invested to actually read it. I know I only asked about Raimus and Riche so now I have this really horrible feeling about Tio... but I can't stop know, I'l just have to do what a lot of girls do in this VN... just bite down and take it

January 2, 2020

Hello good folks,

So i wanna play evenicle, mostly because I really really like Kamidori, I'm more of a gamer so these things appeal to me more, but one thing that really worries me is that unlike Kamidori this appears to have a great deal of rape in it. Now this is the one thing I don't wanna see and i did play the first 2 chapters I think, or it was only the first <i'm not sure> but I did see "that scene" with that character and it shook a bit... maybe a bit more than I would like to admit but I can sort of deal with side character going through that, what I can't deal with however is Riche or Ramius getting raped, so I was wondering if there are unavoidable rape scenes with main girls, if there are I won't play it but if not I'll bite down and get through this cuz the game looks pretty fun an the art is really nice.

April 9, 2019

A long time ago I read the fruit of grisaia and that was honestly the visual novel that really hooked me to read visual novels, I loved it and so when the sequels started to be translated you can imagine I was really hyped but I read something really concerning on the forums, I read that they censored the sequels and I don't mean the removal of the H scenes, I remember reading that they went as far as modifying the translation so that they can edit out pervy jokes, now hentai scenes are one thing but it really turned me off when I read that so I was wondering if there are any translations for the 2 sequels <labyrinth and eden> that don't actually mess with that and stay faithful to the original writing

oh f!!k

Spoiler

in the common route for rewrite chihaya mentions while talking about the sewing club that she is sick of needles, is this like some sort of foreshadowing that she was experimented on agent 47 style and that's why she is stupidly strong

also earlier when I got stuck in the infinite loop in the school with yoshino after they crashed in the club room before kotarou leaves the final line that akane says is that all that I've see before was probably a dream... they all know something... they all f!!king know don't they

if this is true this is the kind of subtle thing that I miss by skipping through all the read text while doing the next route. I'm kinda scared cuz I love all the girls in this vn, they are all 10+ for me and I'm afraid that... well I just hope this does not do something like the comyu main route did.

April 3, 2018

I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet grab my heart and complete rewrite. I only read Lucias route last time but It's time to finish it and after reading little busters reading the common route of rewrite again is fascinating.

Mr Poltroon · January 21, 2018

after months of reading I finally finished little busters <and no I don't have any intention of doing masatos route>

I gotta say this was one of the best visual novels I have ever read, very good mystery, interesting unusual story, great characters and to my surprise the additional routes were integrated in a really cleaver way into the overall story, really like sasegawas route and it threw a really good twist into a already established ideea, kana's route was amazing and the ending I taught was fantastic altho a bit confusing, at first I didn't really like sayas route but when I hit the replay section and the story started to unravel both saya and her route gained a lot of points in my eyes and I really started to like her <the ending sucked btw, I knew from the moment you find out sayas story at the middle of the route how this would end but the ending still sucked>

the only real route that I hate was kamikitas, it was more or less worthless and didn't add anything to the main story or any hints like the other routealso

It would have been nice to get an ending to kurugayas route that didn't suck, considering how much asspulling the writers did on some ocasions I'm kinda bummed out at how sad both of kurugayas endings were

Spoiler

I don't like the whole time machine twist in sayas route, If she would have died in the end that would have been a really depressing, sad and heartbreaking ending but at least It would have fit into the story, also why does she know riki? why is that just thrown there at the end? why is it that this was never mentioned before? it just feels like the end of this was pulled right out of the writers ass

also I don't get it after they return to the real world do they keep their memories<cuz it didn't feel like it at the end of refrain>? at the end of kana's route haruka clearly remembers but does kana too? kana shouldn't remember cuz she wasn't on of the creators of the world right? or is this the harem ending and riki gets to have 2 redheads cuz in that case im supper jelly

also probably a translation error when rin said she was held down by people when she was little, probably referring to the end of rin2, kyouskes sin I still don't know, I think he might have pushed rin to early to see the reality and that's why she broke but im pretty sure she broke down because of the end of rin2 but then kyouske didn't have anything to do with that it was just riki being a dumbass and aaaaaah this is giving me a headache

also confues as to why in kuds route she was refered to as a fake, I think she was used as fuel for this world but then why is kud the only one who's used as fuel? and why is riki trapped in the ether at the end of kurugayas route?

overall this is a must read in my opinion for anyone who is interested in visual novels

also im missing 7 achievements on steam and like 3 cgs but I just can't be bothered <pretty sure i get the cgs by doing idiot riki and sayas ecstasy mode>

now if you will excuse me I just discovered that there is a little busters wiki so ima gonna get me sum answers

January 6, 2018

so after finishing refrain I thought the extra routes were just gonna be small addons like the side routes in majikoi, like 30 mins to of reading but after doing sasasasamis route I realized I was wrong... very wrong. Sasagawas route was pretty long and I have to say actually really well integrated into the overall story

Spoiler

I suspected they were gonna do it outside of the "fake" world but I did not think they were gonna make another one and the plot twist of the cat being the master of the world caught me so off guard, I was so sure sushimi was the one who made the world and the scenes of his dreams were her dreams, kinda how it was with the agave route in majikoi

a few things of note tho, the music was way off in this one, I always felt the music did not match the atmosphere, goofy music playing at what I perceived as serious moments all the time, also adding new character "models" <idk what they are called> after reading like 60 hours of lb was kinda shocking, not to mention the new "models" for sasegawa do not feel like they fit in with the others, kinda like how in majikoi s the new "models" for koyuki felt awful

I started saya's route and even tho I'm only 2 or 3 days in I gotta say I'm somewhat impressed at how they shook things up

Fred the Barber · January 2, 2018

so I just finished refrain and... wow fucking wow that was one hell of a ride, I did not expect the story to go down like this in the slightest

Spoiler

I can't decide if the fact that no one diededed in the end makes the story better or worse, on one hand I'm glad but on the other it feels like it gives the story less bite like the writers were afraid to kill off characters, honestly I think kyouske should have died in the end saving everyone, even tho I really like him I think they could have given him a fitting badass death

here are a few plotpoints that I would like you guys to answer to me, these are things that I have yet to discover, keep in mind that I finished refrain but I did not do anything else so if the answer is later please don't tell me

Spoiler

1. What happend to rin in the past, it says something about men in suits holding her down but what's that all about

2. What happend to rickis parents, how did they die?

3. Why was kengo in the graveyard in Komaris route when he visited the grave of her brother, also who is Kojiro Kamikita

4. While I get how kurugayas route fits in I don't really see how kud and mio fit into this, I think it would have been somewhat awesome if kud was like haging by a chain in the valley and that would be like the twist but shes in a cave <not really a question more of an observation I guess>

5. Also didn't even meat saya yet so I guess I still have more reading to do

the translation was kind of... hard to follow at times but that may be just because english isn't my first, I didn't see any horrible translation errors but I had to go back at times and reread several lines to get what they were saying

December 26, 2017

is it possible to hate a girl in a vn but love hero story? Midori is bae tho, Midori is love, Midori is life, almost as lovable as Kud... almost

Spoiler

I would have liked there to be a small nod to midori like her appearing as a translucent figure besides mio and riki in one of the last CG's but well you can't have it all can you

now all I have to do is Rin's route and then we hit the mysterious refrain, I have a bad feeling about leaving rin's route to last but whatever

December 12, 2017

I'm glad I decided to wait and read kud's route in one sitting cuz honestly... I cried like a little bitch

Spoiler

so I have to say I don't know what exactly happened in kuds past and what's her memory of the gunshot but if I had to take a wild guess I'll say she was the one who killed riki's parents, the story ties in really nicely with kurugaysas route and I can see pieces falling together although I was expecting during the chain and gears sequence to end it there like they did with kurugaya and have me go back.

Also at this point I kinda get the hint that Rikis "illness" is not really an illness but I guess well have to wait and see

For me reading something like this is like solving a puzzel and getting more hints along the way, for instance I can see a plot forming with the god and with kurugayas route and the gears, also something is off with kyouske, I don't know what the deal is but I am 200% sure that kyouske is riki from the future and yes I know this sounds ridiculous and stupid and retarded but I can't get this idea out of my head

either that or he is the souske aizen of little busters I mean like did you guys see his face during the battles, dude looks fucking evil

December 5, 2017

okay is it just me or is the translation of lb kinda clunky

I had a scene where it was from the perspective of haruka and she was thinking about her past and she says a lot of things but I can't really understand them, like she says when she was first brought into this home, does that mean she is adopted, also says that she was beaten for not using chopsticks properly but I don't think it was by the parents we saw in the previous scene, also why have things in a parenthesis there was no need for that since she was thinking that and they could just put a comma instead, I don't know if the writing or the translation is weird but for the first time ever reading a visual novel I find myself struggling with the text[/spoilers]

this is like the dark souls of visual novel for me

or hey maybe it's just me, english isn't my first language

Canicheslayer · December 3, 2017

I finished Kurugaya's route, that was... quite something to say the least... league better than komari, like not even close, okay I got to admit that until now this vn was funny for the most part but right now this vn got me by the balls, I was starting to think I was way to overhyped but now I think it might actually deliver

edit: rin beat sassassassasssami for the first time and I got an item... hilarious

i wonder if you always get the socks first time, just the taught of rin stripping sasasasami of her socks in the middle of the hallway is making me roll over

November 27, 2017

so finished my first route <komari's route> and I have a few things to say

first off we never get to learn who kojiro is and what is his relation to komari, also why was kengo in the graveyard tho that may be answered in another route, also I'm pretty sure this is the first time I hear about rikis parents being dead, kinda suddenly dropped unto us with no buildup or even given much attention, about the route itself, I wish we had a bit more of a hint about what it might be, from what I recall there was only one scene mentioning she maybe having a brother, I don't really like komari but dam If it didn't tug a bit on my heart at the end there, also from what I was reading on the forums I was about ready to bet money that there was gonna be some time rewinding bullshit at the end <people saying riki and rin keep their stats> and I was expecting some sort of huge turnaround like I got in rewrite but nothing like that happened

also considering the pacing of the vn I find It hard to imagine where the H scenes would fit in, if you put them to early it would feel weird cuz they are not like a full on couple but if you put them later well... I think it would be weird as fuck banging a near catatonic komari

all in all a fun time but ma dick was not blown off as I was expecting tho to be fair I have been waiting for this vn to be fully translated for YEARS so my expectations were unrealistic at best

another thing I wanted to say that was on my mind was about the dialog between riki and komari in the climax.... how should I put this... it's interesting to me that the way riki was talking is exactly the way you would expect a teenager to talk, unrefined with commonplace words, struggling to find the best way to convey his emotions, feelings and thoughts but if you consider a vn to be a work of art I would expect the writing to be somewhat more refined, more delicate with fancy words, it's a case of realism vs "artistic value" and it was something that was on my mind that I wanted to share

November 25, 2017

total defeat... it wasn't even close... WE DIDN'T EVEN SCORE ONE POINT... also am I the only one who thinks that the baseball game sucks? the minigame is kinda awesome cuz you can do allot of cool things like hitting komari and hitting the cats and hitting komari and ruining the tea party and hitting komari and also did I mention you can hit komari <can you tell I don't really like her and I hate that I have to do her route first>, on the other hand the game is just a bunch of choices and I don't even know what tf they mean, like what's a bunt and wtf is a steal or a double steal, is he supposed to steal the baseball bat???

on another note

when I finished the baseball game and got the rankings for battle and he said something about stronger enemies and when I remembered that there are like 20 hidden achievements something hit me like a brick... I don't think I actually entered a route and I have quite a few hours sunk into this... I think there is gonna be like a rewrite moment when the games is gonna take a almost complete 180 turn and shit is gonna go fucking insane and it's gonna blow ma dick off and now my expectations for this game are out of this world, but please don't tell me the ghosts in the principals office in the game of courage kyouske organized is gonna be like a thing, I'm gonna flip out if this a supernatural vn and that was relevant to the plot

Thyndd · November 21, 2017

I am slowly making my way through little buster, slowly crawling through it whenever I have a few spare moments and from the moment I started reading I knew There would be times like this but

when I had to refuse kud's thanks cuz the guide said so... my soul shattered inside me

on the other hand I find myself really liking all the characters I've met up until now, haven't met the blond girl yet and I sorta met... kuds new roommate, pretty sure she never even mentioned her name, also could we please get a little busters english edition walkthrough on fuwanovel please? I'm using a steam guide atm and it's not fun

Plk_Lesiak · November 10, 2017

ok ok ok ok I may have been a tad bit overexcited when I created this topic...... just a tad bit, but in other more important notes the vn is fantastic so far and after reading the comments I will now start obsessing over any minuscule thing that rin says and does

Canicheslayer · November 4, 2017

sasasasasasami keeps kicking rin's ass on a daily basis and I can't decide if it's funny or frustrating
