    Reading Kanon's route in g-senjou, I'd say I'm halfway through. Confused af.

     

      Reveal hidden contents

     

    Of course I don't want you to spoil it to me, but wtf man? Everything points to Kyousuke being Maou, that's obviously what the game wants you to think, what with the transitions and everything, plus Shiratori actually recognized him, so either they are in fact the same person or they are twins, hypothesis that kinda gets reinforced when at some point in Kanon's route he confirms that has (or had) siblings.

    Then we have all the mess with Haru. She obviously knows Kyousuke from the past, which I inmediately noticed when she called him Kyousuke-kun and then confirmed when Kyousuke (Maou?) himself mentioned that her father was the mastermind that ruined his family. I assume that doesn't mean at all that Haru's Gonzou's daugther, but rather that Haru's father was somehow involved in what Mr. Samejima did. But it's all really, really confusing. What with Kyousuke acting like he didn't know Haru at all? Damn, he didn't even mention it in a monologue up until now. 

    If Kyousuke and Maou are in fact the same person, then Maou would have access to Kyousuke's memories but seemingly Kyousuke only would subconciously know that he's Maou (as there are quite a few supposed hints troughout the story). This would kinda explain why this revelation took place during one of Kyousuke's headaches (perhaps the moment when the two personalities are merging?). Again, this is obviously what the game wants you to think, but I somehow doubt it's that straightforward.

    To further complicate it, the ransom retrieval. Maou was still on the phone as Tsubaki saw the two cops approaching, so as far as I know, Maou couldn't be one of them (at least if we assume that Maou was indeed the one talking on the phone). Admittedly, he had an accomplice, that foreigner, which by the way could never pass off as a japanese cop, but we'll let that slide saying that Tsubaki was so flustered she couldn't notice, but in any case, who was the other guy? Someone that hasn't been introduced yet?

    So yeah, I'm hitting my head against a wall right know :leecher: I feel like the game is mocking at me.

    Spoiler

    Just know, that Kyousuke's psychiatry visits aren't only for getting out of school. You will be even more and more confused when you enter Kanon's chapter and then be like wtf when u read the main route. Because, sadly G-senjou has that kind of "plot abandoning" in the sideroutes. And that doesn't mean they are bad, anyway. I think Kanon's route was the best out of the 3 sideroutes

     

    What VN's Have You Stalled On? Or Outright Dropped?

    VN that i just outright dropped is Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort. After the first like 20 minutes, it was a torture for me. There's non existent plot, no character development (literaly all of them were unbearably stupid and boring). When i was like halfway in Umi's route, i just couldn't believe wtf am i even reading (talking about the really sad and disheartening incident about cleaning)

    I did not even finish one route. Music was repetitive, after like 10 minutes it got annoying. The only thing this VN had going was the artwork. I like Pulltop's art in VNs, but that's about it.

    Except of that, i never decided to read Shizune's route in Katawa Shoujo (i tried, but that student council stuff was kinda boring).

    And there's one VN that i stalled, and that is Kara no Shoujo, simply because i got frustrated and angry about the choice and route system. Also, i'm not sure, but i think i was spoiled about the ending anyway, so it will probably be still a long time until i get back to it. 

    Looking for a particular kind of romance VN

    I'd say Sharin no Kuni. There is quite a bunch of problems you'll have to deal with, but they aren't route specific, because you kinda go through each of the heroines' stories in 1 playthrough, with some differences based on which of them you go with. Still has a school setting, but the circumstances make it more unique

    So I just did the Bad End for Makina in Grisaia no Kajitsu, and I'm shook.

    Amane and Yumiko's choices are absolutely correct, there's nothing illogical about it.

    Spoiler

    on Amane's route, the choice basically lets you choose the strategy. If you consider that Amane was so down for thinking she left Kazuki alone there back then and her death is her fault, it's only natural that she wouldn't actually decide to run away. So i just though that when u take the split choice, Amane would eventually go back and get in the way. 

    Yumiko's nothing difficult. If you consider that on a good end, everyone is together, it's obvious that running away doesn't lead to the good end

     

    In need of a new VN

    There's Clannad that fits for everything, exccept of the graphical side ( I mean, it's not bad if u get used to it, but the way the characters are drawn is rather... different). It's pretty much the definition of slice of life romance set in school, and is one of the longest VNs out there, has no 18+ content, though (which shouldn't be a problem, since you didn't specify that)

    You could also try Maji de watashi ni koishinasai. It doesn't have that much of a deep story or anything, and is more a comedy than anything else, but it also fits your requirements. You're going to have alot of fun if you try this one.

    ONE VN you should read before you die.

    There is no VN that is life-changing to me, but for people that believe that VNs with choices as the only interactivity make for horrible games, i'd recommend Clannad because it's the only VN i've ever seen that has replayability in such a great level (just look at the walkthrough of it on these forums to see the amount of optional stuff) without relying on JRPG gameplay.

    I'd say Clannad doesn't remotely have enough choices for such a long VN as it is :makina:
