Do you mind sharing the titles? I'm looking for short VNs to read after Summer Pockets.

I have just finished Shiroha's route. It was way, way too short and for me it lacked impact, as everything happened too fast. I really hope the other routes are different, or else this may be the shortest Key VN yet.

I read that some things from Shiroha's route are explained in Ao's, so it should be a better order to read them

Well, like I said, I'm still in Shiroha's route, and so far she only interacts with Ao. The other two are nowhere to be seen.

why not post it here? Although I've never read Da Capo, now even I am interested

I'm reading Shiroha's route and enjoying it a lot. My only grip with the game is the lack of a proper common route, something so important to previous Key games. There is a prologue, but right after it you can choose the heroine you want to know better and the others are left aside :< I love Hairi and Umi's moments, and I'm pretty excited for her route in Perfection Blue.

Well, I didn't know it was from 2007, but it was only released in English a few years ago, so I think it counts Btw I have to disagree about Harmonia. Although it is not the best/most memorable Key game, it is far from bad.

Do you look into VNDB screenshots before playing? I mean, 3 of them have bad sex jokes in them. Didn't play the game, but I'd hardly do so only by this

hmmmm Himawari

I don't remember Clannad having inconsistent routes, in terms of quality, to the point I'd think they were written by the same person if I did not know otherwise. I think Rewrite is the only game that suffers a lot from its different writers, and even having famous names behind it, it is by far - I wouldn't say worst, but the less enjoyable Key game.

Let's ask for more 07th Expansion games!!! Edit: so, moege still sells a lot, huh?

There is a comment on Steam that states it's 2~3 hours long

Updated with Steam page - There is a demo available!

So, this game just released and it seems very promising as far as I can tell. It's the first game by SukeraSomero, a sister company of SukeraSparo [The Expression Amrilato, which is a great Yuri novel released some months ago]. The art for this one is incredible! It's available for purchase at MangaGamer for 18 dollars. http://sukerasparo.com/somero/oshilove/en/ Steam release + DEMO: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1233270/OshiRabu_Waifus_Over_Husbandos/

Pretty much every review I read says that 2006 is better and/or 2002 is bad in comparison

Well, it wasn't Maeda Jun who wrote his route :v

I've been curious about the original adaptation of Kanon, since it is known to be worst than the much appraised Kanon 2006 by KyoAni. However, I decided to give it a shot now, years after playing the VN and having forgotten most of the plot and the twists. I have to say that, although it is not flawless, it is worth watching and it presents a good narrative with a well developed cast. The art style, although not aged well, is pretty similar to the VN's, and the chins are not that long... I liked how they handled the drama between Nayuki and the protagonist, as it is very touching how she is put aside when Yuuichi chooses Ayu [sorry for 18-year-old spoiiler]. It reminds me that not every love story has a happy ending, and it was a nice way to tackle the multiple routes aspect of Kanon. For a 13-episodes-long series, it did what it proposed itself to do - to retell Kanon's stories with a lot of drama and magic. Although I would change how they handled the passing from one route to another, being one in each episode, it was good to see all routes being adapted on TV. All said, I still have to watch Kanon 2006, so I don't know what to expect from that yet. I hope that, being the third time I go through the story, I can still enjoy it for what it is.

The older someone gets, they get closer to the target audience of these vns

I mean, I remember her being more 2Dy

If you won't read the VN, watch the anime '-'

Now seeing your list, I wonder why you haven't watched Little Busters, as it's from Key [Clannad, Angel Beats!] and it has everything you are looking for.

it's from the same creator, right? I love Golden Time, so I second this Gosick is love, Gosick is life. Prepare to cry a lot!
