Now i wonder, if there were male cat people to breed with the female ones, would there be random cat people fucking in alleys and rooftops during the night? Would the male cat people yell when they're horny and beat the shit of the females during sex like the actual animals do?

Having played Higurashi, Umineko and Rose Guns Days, i felt like a big similarity between them was the theme of distrust. I'll try to explain while giving as less spoilers as i can, but be careful just to be safe.
For Higurashi:
SpoilerRika would keep dying because her friends would keep distrusting each other and it would distract them from what is actually going on, and once the friends erased that distrust, they were able to find out who the mastermind is and go against him.
For Umineko:
SpoilerThe main issue of the series is the distrust that Ange has towards her family by believing that one of them is a cold-hearted killer, and episode 8 is all about her letting go of that distrust to move on with her life.
For Rose Guns Days:
SpoilerThe biggest thing that kept the japanese from standing up to the chinese and the american was the distrust that the japanese had for each other, which ended up causing the collapse of the tradicional japanese society in the story. That is seen with the biggest hurdles for Rose being the distrust that not only the city merchants, but her own right-hand man had towards her.
So, can you identify this theme in Higanbana and Iwaihime as well? Or do you feel i'm mistaken?
Edit (jan 4th) - Having played Higanbana:
SpoilerA fair amount of students have some sort of distrust towards society that lessens their will to live, making them suitable prey for the youkai of the story.

Confession: When i finish a visual novel i really get into, i come up with fanfiction for it in my head (don't write anything though). Now they're getting weird to the point they turned into crossovers with japanese wrestling.
-
Finished Rose Guns Days after some marathoning and quite frankly, there was enough material there for a full other season.
SpoilerHow do you hype up Gabriel and his troops like that and don't have some sort of final showdown between Primavera and them? It'd be like if Higurashi ended without Mion's club going after the mastermind and it's minions and they get defeated in a single scene for some other reason.

Finished Season 2 and
Spoileri found the lack of character deaths so far to be quite odd. I guess Higurashi and Umineko made me bloodthirsty.

From a moral standpoint, i'd say lpers should only play one route of the VN for the viewers to get a feel for the story. I remember reading a screentext lp of Kara no Shoujo where the guy got one ending and said on spoilers all the things that could've happened and it made me want to play the whole thing. On VNs with only one route, i don't have a set opinion on.

Zouken in Fate/Stay Night, Saya and Fuminori on the second alternate ending of Saya no Uta and Roa's conciousness on Ciel's good end of Tsukihime.

Gotta say, all the love for Tsuzuriko is kinda making me feel like an awful person. When i saw that red loading screen after she disappeared (which always shows before murder scenes), i was like "oh... BYE, TSUZURIKO!"

Surprised no one posted this yet: Every single Grisaia heroine is stereotypical trash.
Extra: How can you talk shit about Dies Irae, Muramasa and SubaHibi if no one has read them?

Confession: i used to LOVE the true my heart song when i was a teenager, now i think the name of the company that made it being "lump of sugar" is pretty appropriate, because that song sounds like you're shoving lumps of sugar in your mouth until you die of diabetes.
-
The most attachment i can get is being like "i feel this chick has the best chemistry with the protagonist, so i'll go for her first." other than that, nothing.
-
It's not exactly "most unnecessarily difficult", but i always thought X-Blaze Code Embryo was pretty silly with the endings being dependant of which articles you read.
-
Finished all Dracu-Riot routes. Good time waster overall, but nothing i'd beat myself over for not reading.
SpoilerI feel a wasted opportunity was not having an harem route where the MC could go up against the big mastermind behind the whole "lychantrope manufaturing" organization.
-
I guess your walkthrough counts Sparks Liner High as a regular alternate ending for some reason?

Confession: The reaction to Trump's victory inspired me to marathon Moonman songs. I think there's something wrong with me.
Update: Now i've got a bad cold. Moonman must have given me negative energy.

Probably not. From my recollection, the only ending that can REALLY fuck up your playthrough either comes from something that you can tell you weren't supposed to fail or from a choice that looks like a "but thou must" situation.

Clannad, Fate/Stay Night and YU-NO: Best choose-your-own-adventure feel
Ever17: Best plot twists
Steins;Gate and MajiKoi: Best set of characters
G-Senjou no Maou: Best villains/antagonists
Tsukihime and Saya no Uta: Best atmosphere
Little Busters: Best common route
Umineko and Higurashi: Best overall stories

Watched the first episode of Keijo and i did NOT expect the fights to be that funny. Hoping the rest of the series keeps being that entertaining.

As dumb as the characters are, the choice system in School Days is what a slice-of-life VN should be like.
What are you playing?

Oh it was good. My least favorite Ryukishi story, but it's because the other ones set the bar so high.
Anyways, finally started YU-NO. Ayumi has the best chemistry with the MC so far and it's disturbing.
Update: Ayumi's route gotta be my biggest guilty pleasure of all time. That VN sold me on a guy screwing his stepmother, goddamnit!
2nd Update: A "gameplay" combination between YU-NO and Fate/Stay Night would be the greatest VN of all time gameplay-wise. (in-between route puzzles + high amount of bad ends)
