Finished reading all the good endings for KS.
Shizune's route was ... yeah, disappointing (I don't hate it, but yeah...). Thankfully I went through Lilly's route next which was a surprisingly good choice and ~~probably~~ my favourite of the routes. Rin's made me feel slightly depressed the whole time even after the ending (which didn't make me feel happy at all...) Hanako and Emi's routes were... good if you're into that sort of thing, they didn't really click with me, but lemons... heh butt lemons.

SPOILER

Back to Katawa Crash for another 100 hours.

I just finished my very first road ever on any VN. Surprisingly it was on KS, Hanako. Now I can't bring myself to do the others.. ;3;

They're called 'routes' not roads.

In other news:
I'm going through Osananajimi no Daitoryo again; finishing up Little Busters and finishing Symphonic Rain (finally).

i finally caught up reading up half of the thread.
honestly katawa shoujo should have its own thread (if it does already have one, forgive me i'm not exactly in the position to search other thread with ease).

seems like a good game though, i just need someone to hype me up.

Heroes of Our Time will be ranked in 2024 I promise, no cope

I have devised a drinking game for those currently playing through Hanako's route: whenever the word "tentatively" is used, take a shot.

I'm a girl, but I play dating sims in my free time occasionally. I just like the cute romance and artwork, it makes me feel relaxed~ I've played Shuffle!, Wanko to Kurasou, and I'm waiting for Katawa Shoujo. My computer blocks the torrent for some reason Dx I like Misha, but she's not a route. The only games I play are the ones I can get for free off the internet

Just cuz I'm a straight female doesn't mean I can't have favorite heroines~

When I was on Hakano's route in katawas shoujo, I totally lol'd when she was talking about the tile-hopping game. Because I used to do that when I was younger xDD

And I'm done with KS.

Suggested Route List

Shizune -> Hanako -> Emi -> Rin -> Lilly
This also reflects my ranking on the route from bottom to top.

I would give it a 4/5.
The story was great and all (not to mention it was free), but it felt kind of "lacking" in some routes.
For example in Rin's route, the entire art exhibition was just dropped - basically very little closure on that part.

Other routes too lack some explanation in my opinion. For example in Hanako's route,IMO the fire and how she lost her parents should have been elaborated more.

Other secondary characters who were "interesting" were kind off too in the respective routes that they appeared. Example would be in Shizune's route - her father and brother. Misha too could have been developed more.

I think among all of the routes, Lilly's one was the only one that felt "complete" - excellent storytelling and closure.
Rin's route had an excellent plot and was very deep - oh and kind of humorous at times (link is a spoiler).
Emi's route had this sense of familiarity of plot. Nevertheless it felt 'fresh" and "new".
Hanako's route was interesting, but felt very lacking... Although I liked the mysterious aspect of it.
Shizune's route was.... err no comment.

Overall, I would definitely suggest you read it.

Forest seems like

A generic LIARSOFFFFTTTTT game.

Where there are like, 20 arcs

but 30% of each of these arcs are directly copypasted a total of 20 times.

which makes it unbearable to read sometimes

yes/no?

I heard something like "You should read Forest twice or more, you can understand more about the story with this way."

I think that's why there are 20+ arcs. Looks like the story is very deep. But yeah sometimes it makes me yawn a lot.

Well I get used to the arcs like these, thanks Umineko, so it's okay for me.

I don't care anymore, I just want to read through Kazuko's route in Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai!

At first:

New PC novel game from Higurashi: When They Cry, Umineko no Naku Koro ni creator

yes

YES
Then:

He added that it will have a completely different world setting than his previous works have had, so he will greatly enjoy the actual writing process.

I assure that this game will be a colored text free game.

Also...
Finished G-Senjou No Maou.
Damn it! Why does Kyosuke have to be the stupid "I'll give myself up and pretend to be evil to everyone I love" type? He could have just used his connections with Yuki to have himself and Haru freed from suspicion.

Edit:
I guess it's time to stop reading VNs for a while.
When you read a VN that really affects you like that, you know that you need to get out.
I think it's time to get another hobby...

Finished reading Little Busters yesterday. I knew this was a key work. I had figured out "the secret of the world" easily enough so I knew what was coming. I still cried like a little girl during Refrain.
