Scorp Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 gonna vote for ever 17 because im currently reading it seems weird to include Kikokugai because it's really short compared to the other novels :/ Swan Song quite short too.

Turnip Sensei Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I actually took a little head start with Swan Song since it seemed like it would win, and began reading it yesterday. And also finished it yesterday... It's really compelling, but that's all I'm going to say at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really compelling, but that's all I'm going to say at this point. Sounds like excellent news to me. Short but deep I think is ideal for this style of discussion.

Kaguya Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Sounds like excellent news to me. Short but deep I think is ideal for this style of discussion. Nah. Pretty sure the ideal for this type of discussion is something with 10000 waifus to pick from. yvetox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Blue Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Swan Song quite short too. mmm around 20 hours more or less is not that short still an amazing vn that is if you canhandle rape scenes. not much of spoilers but oh well.

yvetox Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well,its gonna get harder,so brace yourself)only one book stood as solid as this VN in its pacing and narrative element for me("All Quiet on the Western Front" from Erich Maria Remarque).Its shows some very hard scenes without hiding anything,and its definetely a plus at my opinion.

Deep Blue Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 it is based on the book of the same name which i didnt read but it looks interesting http://www.amazon.com/Swan-Song-Robert-McCammon/dp/0671741039 and yeah this is definitely not a novel for those who cant stand really strong scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvetox Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 ooh,that explains a lot.You know,when i read vn i thought-"guy,it written so good that i can easily imagine a it as a book",also not using characters sprites is something new to me,but it styled well in this one.I understood that there is no character sprites in entire game only then i saw a similair tag on vndb) If i sometimes will make my own VN,it will be in this style,cuz its easy at drawing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Blue Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 swan song is everything but funny well maybe a bit with hibari and tanomura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenophilious Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Perhaps schadenfreude? I dunno. Not gonna get around to Swan Song until after I finish Princess Evangile, but getting towards the end of Ayaka's route, and that's the last one, so I'm fairly close. Maybe I'll actually be able to discuss it with the main group! Deep Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Blue Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It is not based on this book. Read at least plot on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Song_(novel) - it is completely different story. This book was even mentioned in novel, if I am not mistaken. Yes, obv lot of motives and some of chars were taken, but overall it is not based on that book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorp Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 it was based on the idea of a post apocalyptic world and how people behave in that situation, maybe "based" wanst the right word but I guess you did understand what I tried to say and you are even giving me proof that the novel was influenced or inspired at least by that plot, spiritual successor? (like many games this days tend to use) Call it the way you want, but without that book probably we wouldnt have the visual novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvetox Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I agreed with Scorp,but you know-book that was a predecessor to some piece of media very often gives only overall idea and behavior of characters.As example take shingeki no kyojin that was inspired by muv-luv series,that was inspired by evangelion(i can prove that) and "Crabs On The Island" written novel by Anatoly Dneprov,while evangelion was based on Mazinger Z and Macross,that based on...You understood that i wanna say. Basically,every story was told anywhere,all we are experiencing is its new interpretation,what can be made with such a good quality to leave its mark in history.

Scorp Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Moreover, Deep Blue, there is a Stephen King novel The Stand. Read the plot summary In your terms Swan Song could be also be based on that novel.

yvetox Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 dont know where especially(if i recall corretly it was on this forum),but ive seen that autor and writer of mla story said that he was very inspired bu this novel.Crabs here-mechanical and can create themself from scrap,and young guys(almost teenagers) are opposing them.this happens to be one of the most inspiring tune for it-childrens what are forced to battle with overwhelming non-human opponent.

Nimbus Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Alright, just got those two pesky uni assignments out of the way, now I can devote myself to reading this vn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 My copy should arrive sometime this week. I'm sure it's going to be a bit heavy for my taste, but I shall persevere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yotek Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Really confused about one scene... hoping someone can explain 2-6 Right after Takuma saves the girl. The last two lines are- "There are so many annoying things. I don't get it" "They did something good, so why is nobody praising them?" Is that just poor narration talking about how they saved the girl, or is it Takuma thinking about the guys who just raped the girl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
