    While Episicava claims to be inspired by classic chuunige, I think it would be much more accurate to think of it as a VN adaptation of some particularly trashy and bloody shounen anime.

    Well, it does sound like a very generic chuunige from the way you describe it. Even classics like Dies Irae has most of the same problems and overused tropes (and it's one of the reasons why I became kind of bored with it after just finishing one route). The reason why they are considered good VNs, on the other hand, is that they have some other very good points that make the whole overall experience worth it. This VN... probably doesn't have something like that, from what I understand. :yumiko:

    This is a tremendous disappointment for me, as someone who was a fan of hers, because the ending to her route in "The Fruits of Grisaia" hinted that she might have broken past this facade and learned to appreciate herself more. Unfortunately, "Labyrinth" regresses her character for... comedic relief.

     

    Actually, this reminded me that the biggest problem with Michiru's AS I personally had is that I felt as if it completely disregarded her development from the original route.

    Spoiler

    I mean, from what I recall, didn't it basically state in a plain text that Michiru got over her fake tsundere persona?

    Now I'm interested in what your reaction on Rakuen is going to be. :yumiko:

  3. Hmm. I don't know what happened to "graphics in games doesn't matter" me from the past, but in spite of all the bashing the screenshots still make me want to read it. And, like @littleshogun said, the isekai themes in VNs are actually pretty rare, and I wouldn't mind this changing just a bit (to a reasonable degree, of course :makina:). So, I don't know, considering the size of my backlog, most likely I will still skip this, but maybe I'll take a note and return to it at a point where I just want to read something stupid.

  4. Was it, I wonder? I'm not sure if relying on vndb in this case is reliable, because the highest rated titles are obviously going to be the ones that have English translations, and the localization studios seem to be focused more on the newer titles. I know that the otome game market was pretty big even prior to that, but I don't know whether those titles were actually as good as the ones released later.

    Well, I can't really add anything else, so I'm summoning @MaggieROBOT and @Mr Poltroon.

    There’s only one conclusion: Saya no Uta has only one good ending, and it’s the one where humanity is turned into tentacle monsters from beyond the void. The two others are horrible losses of potential, and we can only hope that a world-conquering probe such as Saya will be summoned to Earth once more, this time to succeed.

    Technically, yeah, but this kind of reasoning still doesn't make this ending feel  good though.

  6. Oh, wow, not sure how I missed this VN. I guess, I may try it after I finally read fault. Looks pretty interesting.

    I haven't played Fault yet (it's sitting there in my enormous Steam backlog) and heard some mixed opinions about it when it goes to writing, but one thing is pretty clear to me - art direction in Alice in Dissonance's games is amazing and just looking at screens from them make me feel good. ^_^

    By the way, I played the first Fault for a few minutes, and I got the feeling that it's way more similar in the way it's written to a light novel rather than a VN. Well, I guess it makes sense, considering that it's a kinetic novel and doesn't even have a protagonist.

    Oh yes, thank you for the correction. With this level of quality and proofreading, this blog post will easily be the kamibu (as in 神ブログポスト, kamiburoguposuto, another bullshit brought to you by Maggie!)

    :wahaha: (out of likes)

    And, yeah, I can definitely relate about proofreading, considering how many times I ended up submitting the posts that had the opposite meanings from what I wanted to say originally. :notlikemiya:
