Whoops, I meant to say Kosame instead of Asuho  Dx  Hoshimemo was one of my first VNs, so it's hard to remember all of the characters.  Asuho's route was still pretty solid, in my opinion, if a little exaggerated.  My personal rankings of the routes is this: Komomo > Kosame > Asuho > Chinami > Secret heroine > Mare.  I'm not including Isuzu because I hate her and I skipped her route entirely.

This is probably the most provocative thing I've ever read about Hoshimemo. I love Chinami, but almost everyone seems to hate her, because she's is too realistic. 

 

Don't know why. I assume people don't want realistic little sisters in their porn games. They want them to be quiet and non-intrusive.

She is completely devoid of any interesting personality throughout the whole work and I cannot fathom what anyone sees in her.

 

I kinda get it. Watching her get flustered in the common route is kinda cute, but it's not like there's any depth or uniqueness to that.

pausing teito hiten, to play blue* instead. from a visually point of view it looks really nice so far, also traslation reads quite natural. cant stand it when it sounds like planeta elektronika

Nope, Isuzu worst girl. It's totally her fault that her personality is total garbage.

FTFY :sachi:

 

Chinami and Mare's routes are both pure fanservice, but I thought they at least had better quality fanservice in Chinami's route, and at least Chinami's route makes sense and takes more than 30 minutes to read.

edit: though playing blue* provides me with a pleasent atmosphere, there´s one issue which drives me crazy. them optionpannel on the bottom seems like having a will of his own, playing hide & seek with me....

I had to put Hoshizora no Memoria on hold because of this one character with a voice that I absolutely cannot stand, the story is pretty good so far, has me interested, but It's going o the hold list for now, starting Akatsuki no Goei,its a medium sized VN , with a Fandisc as well, so unless I decided to change what I read again, I'll be pretty preoccupied for the  next couple of days

Getting near the end of the first route of Flowers (which means I'm probably something like 2/3 done since the 2nd route re-uses a huge amount of text from the common route) and the feels are for reals. The plot has some problems, some little hiccups, but man when it delivers it delivers in spades. I was just about crying last night, and I'm pretty sure I'll cry more than once before this is all over.

 

But man that character design. I am never going to be able to let that go.

I just finished Sakura's route for Tokyo School Life and I am wondering why does it have a score less than 7. It was really educational, although I do doubt the credibility of the info since I don't feel like doing extensive research about Japan. Still, it's a good read. A bit cliche but it isn't really a chore to read. Or maybe the killing blow is in the other two routes.

Maybe I liked it too much because it somewhat fits my taste. A dying heroine is something that really hits me in the feels gland. Sakura was someone that was alive but also dead since she didn't expect a long life ahead of her. They kinda failed in giving her a 'detached' feel tho. The glaring flaw for me is the fact that they had a good buildup but completely blew it in the last hit. I'm not sure where it lacked but her breaking point didn't hit the intended effect for me. There was something off but I have no idea what.

I didn't see any voice actors in the credits so I have no idea who voiced the characters but they didn't give me a bad impression. Not bad but not great either. And the voice of Karin sounds like a cross between Chisato from Koichoco and Amane from Grisaia. Weird.

Finished Hanahira. When I was starting reading this VN I was like 'Well, all of Sonohana is basically just yuri nukige. Since Hanahira is all ages and can't have ero scenes then it must have some plot or character development to fill empty space'...

:makina:

So, no plot or character development. No wonder - the whole VN is just one day of four girls life (and parts of two other days in good ending). Just some mild comedy, sometimes somewhat funny, usually not really. Well, if it was only Kaori and Amane I would be ok with that, because I quite liked them (though both have super flat characters). However there were also Makoto and Koharu which I found really annoying.

Actually at the end I realized that I iked it more than I expected after first hour of reading. Still, it was rather bland and uninteresting. If someone like Sonohana VNs for other reasons than ero scenes then I guess can read this as well. But overall it's not really something I would recommend.

6/10

I'm not sure if I can keep playing School Days HQ. I played Kotonoha's route first and despite, what I felt was, a lack of chemistry between Makoto and Kotonoha really enjoyed it. However, it seemed like Makoto still cared much more for Sekai even at the end. While Sekai was quite disturbed I was still able to put up with it. I almost broke when Sawamura made her cry, I felt like ripping my screen apart, but I was able to endure. Now that I am going for Sekai and Kotonoha is with Sawamura the feeling is ten fold. Just when he tried to force her to give him a good bye kiss, I stopped that right away, and unfortunately lost relationship bar with Sekai. As it is now I may not get the full SDHQ experience as I don't want to dare see Kotonoha being fucked by another guy and treated as Sekai was.

Just finished Karin's route and I still have no idea why this scored below 7. It's nothing grand but nothing terrible either. Karin's character isn't really that deep but goes well with her route. An aspiring idol that has a cool style but has a strange obssession with cute things. In a somewhat exaggerated way, her conflict is throwing away her ideals in exchange for an opportunity to reach her life-long dream. In a weak way, she wants to be cute but her dream asks for coolness. In how I see it, she's a teenage girl who reached the point in her life where you need to decide on what do you want to do. It's pretty relatable if you ask me since there are people that feel like this when taking on an opportunity for a greener pasture. The story didn't aim for much so it didn't achieve much. 

 

One more route then I'll continue on reading Symphonic Rain which has been stalled for almost a year. The season's just right to fit with the story's setting~

Told ya

Playing School Days is like repenting in Inferno.

 

Started playing Yume Miru Kusuri, Aeka's route.

 

Everything's going smoothly. Though I do agree that there are a lot of H-scenes.

What is this sorcery !!!

Am I really seeing Kosaki complain about there being too many h-scenes ???

Finally finished with the last route!
Aoi's route was . . . something? The others can't really be called compelling but this one takes the cake. The conflict was lackluster and I think it was resolved too easily. Not that the others weren't but I think the way they resolved it was too cliche. Also, they made too many things go on simultaneously.
 
Done with the 3 routes and the only reason I can find as to why it was rated so low is because it was plain. Didn't strive for anything big but they didn't screw up in giving a bland story I guess. I didn't have any expectations at all when I started reading so I think that helped in my perception of a story such as this. It didn't tug at my heartsrings nor did it provoke any thoughts. Altough, the visuals were a good change of pace since it did use the E-mote system.
 
Summary in one sentence: It's so plain that people find it bad.
