Tyrael Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm sorry to say that, but with the VN, Mayuri is going to have hell of a time. Yea a little bird told me the VN is really hard on her and Okabe Regardless, I'll get to it once I feel a bit happier I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrael Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Trust me, the anime was great, but the VN is just in another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamishedPants Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Just finished Comyu a minute ago and wow that was an amazing story I really loved the ending of the story I think it has become one of the best VNs I have read until now! But now I don't know what to read after it, my mind is divided between Cartagra and Fate/Stay nigh (I still didn't read it even if I have it like since August ). So, if you have any opinion about which one I should read first then I would be glad to read them And, as I see the time it is as I'm writing this message there is just one thing to say: Merry Christmas to everybody here!! I have no idea what the other one is but I really enjoy Fate/Stay Night. It's in third place in my VNDB, right under MLA and G-sen which I also very much recommend if you haven't played those. But anyway, FSN is really good. I think I enjoy the fighting scenes in it more than any other VN, and the story and characters are all pretty interesting as well. As are the horribly written H-scenes involving too many uses of the word 'Mollusk' I can't say anything about the other one because I haven't even heard about it. Maybe someone else can say something on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you want. Cartagra is a mystery VN about a detective who searches for a missing girl while F/SN is more of an action-oriented VN with some slice-of-life in it. Both of them is great in my opinion. I recommend you to play Cartagra if you want to read a medium-length VN and F/SN if you want to read a long one.

FinalChaos Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm the kind of guy who don't overthink about story, so tbh, i was surprised by every plot-twist, until the end. The comedy/slice of life part is for me one of the best idea ever, because it creates affection towards the character, and that's why the drama part is for me more powerful, because i wanted them to go back to their more standard life and escape that terrible fate. And i think that even if Okabe "wins" at the end, he's completely changed, he'll never act like before, he completely lost his innocence, and at the same time, he'll avoid doing the same mistakes in the future. Yes I fully agree that the comedy/SoL at the start was very effective and at the same time it was really fun to read. It was the same in Little Busters and incidentally that's my favourite vn which I gave 10/10 like S;G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both for your words Since I'm more a fan of mystery I think I'll go with Cartagra first and see Fate/Stay Night later (and I'll also keep G senjou in mind ^^ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Finally started up Sharin no Kuni Emphasis on started up. Only like 15 minutes in. But wow, I believe this is the first time I've ever felt.. idk.. annoyed at a protagonists' character and his inner monologuing 8D I'm usually quick to adapt though, so dw about me going "omg i hate Kenichi this VN sux!@#" or anything~ Overall I like the premise. Every character having an "obligation" and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EldritchCherub Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Currently reading Katawa Shoujo. The premise is interesting enough: a school for those suffering from life altering afflictions, mixing together fun and rehab, until the students are ready for the outside world. Kind of a little burned out on the whole school setting cause of anime. Only a couple of hours in so I'll push forward in order to see more, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

TexasDice Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Jeez, Kanon is really old. The script hasn't aged well at all, I was able to perfectly predict how every route would go, from just meeting it's respective character once. Not that I can fault Kanon in any way, it's been 15 years. All these tropes were probably invented by it. What's interesting to me, is that Key apparently always had a thing for paranormal twists, even back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a few of them are fairly obvious, but surely you didn't immediately know That Ayu is in a coma and Makoto is actually a reincarnated fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh, Ayu is probably dead" and "I don't think Makoto is human." It's not like I'm hating Kanon. On the contrary, I prefer something predictable that's also simple, over something that just bores me to death with the same lines over and over again, like Harukoi Otome.

In my honest opinion, Katawa Shoujo is one of the greatest VNs out there, as far as a first VN goes. It was what got me into VNs along with Bible Black. However, I can't really recommend it as anything but a visual novel for one to start with. The routes are good, for the VN's origins, but it is nothing special. I myself really enjoyed Emi and Hanako's routes, so if you haven't decided on which one I'll suggest those two. I think most people found Emi the best heroine to start with, just how it goes usually.

I recall someone did a poll and over 50% of people did Emi's route first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a bunch of people apparently just did it anyway. In retrospect, I'm not sure if these people are mindless lolicons or cold-blooded murderers...
