  1. So, I read the novel 1 Litre no Namida because I had nothing better to do and was bored. I can't say I enjoyed it because I was crying so much but it made me think about a lot of things.

     

    I'm putting the rest of my thoughts about the book in a spoiler tag. I'm not really sure if they are spoilers since you could easily guess the ending and how things unfolded. 

     

    The way that she struggled to live even though her demise was almost certain was inspiring. I had a family member that went through something similar. (Slowly losing control over their own body and not being able to even eat without choking at the very end. Sadly, he died as well.) Her mother's entries at the end along with her doctor's made me cry even more. An illness is painful for everyone involved, not just the sufferer. This story made me think about the fact that death is inevitable at some point for everyone. It really cemented it into my head.  

     

    Anyway, I don't really have a book recommendation but I think this is a good idea and that 1 Litre no Namida is a solid suggestion. I would like to participate either way.

  2. Fate/Stay Night

    Ayakashibito (never saw that coming, did you? :P )

    Higurashi - all chapters

    EF - A tale of the two

    Grisaia no Kajitsu

    Clannad

    Sharin no Kuni

    G-Senjou no Maou

    Hoshizora no Memoria

     

    No real order, just the ones that stick out high in my mind.

     

    You should try A Profile since you seemed to really enjoy AkabeiSoft2 games. It's not as good as the other two titles you have read (G-Senjou and Sharin no Kuni) but I think it is definitely worth a read if you enjoyed both of those games. It also seems like you would like Umineko if you have read Higurashi. I have never read either but the games are by the same developer and apparently both are really good. Anyway, it seems like you have good taste in VNs. I hope that I was helpful in some way.

     

    As for me I really enjoyed:

    Muv Luv and Muv Luv Alternative

    Little Busters!

    Rewrite

    Sharin no Kuni

    G-Senjou no Maou

    Grisaia no Kajistu

    Nameless ~the one thing you must recall~

    Cross Channel

     

    I tend to like dark VNs with good protagonists or just VNs that make you think.

  3. Yes, I think I'll go with Rewrite. However I'd like to ask how much time I have to put aside for it. Himawari no shoujo was supposed to be around 10+ hours, while it says for rewrite that it takes more than 50 hours to complete... Is that time meant for a single route or a full playthrough?

     

    For the entire thing it takes more than 50 hours but even just playing one route and getting through the common route will take a very large chunk of time. It's probably has the longest common route I've ever read.

     

    Also, I really hope that you don't judge Little Busters by the anime. The visual novel is so much better and I'm not just saying that. The anime is just really bad. Most VN adaptations are. The only anime visual novel adaptation that I'd recommend to someone as of now is Clannad. 

  4. This thread moves really fast.  :michiru:

     

    How exactly can you measure the deepness of a confession?

     

    Good question lol. Maybe something that is more personal? 

     

    Tsk, I made all my deep confessions ages ago, so here you go

     

    I used to poop in the shower

     

    Why... WHY would you possibly do that?? Isn't it really hard to clean out? There is a toilet right inside the bathroom! I'm laughing. I give up.

  5. Confession: I have dyed my hair red since ninth grade (I'm going to college next semester) all because of a certain anime character. No I am not naming it.. Whenever I think of changing it, pretty much all of my friends rise up in protest. I think it's mostly because a lot of them have only known me with red hair.  :vinty:

     

    Also, I think it would be interesting to see more "deep" confessions. Maybe if some people started it, I would join in.~

  6. I can't say that I have ever gotten depressed from a VN. I have gotten very sad, especially during certain endings, but the feeling never lingered for too long.

     

    Little Busters! Refrain made me cry so much that I needed to stop playing for a bit and calm down. Michiru's route in Grisaia hit a few uncomfortable places for me even though I can't say that route was my favorite. (Love Michiru but the end of her route was BS is my opinion.) Also, the Angelic Howl part of Amane's route was very disturbing. I didn't cry but I felt very hollow inside after reading it. I thought about it for a while and still do sometimes. 

     

    I could go on for a while about different VNs that me upset because a lot of them branch into bad ending/good ending sort of thing and I usually get the bad ending first so that I can read the good end and "fix it". I don't know why someone would go get the good end before the bad end because that sort of ruins the good end? I don't know, maybe I just think that way. Of course it is worse if there is no good end to be found.
