/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Just finished reading it.
I still have the afterstory to go through, but I know I'm going to miss all the characters after this.

Truth be told, I started reading this VN 3 years ago, when I wasn't good enough to fully enjoy reading VNs for too long. At the time, I had to stop after barely an hour of reading every time, but thinking of how I could read it like any other book today is something that's giving me some complicated feelings too.
It was kind of a journey getting to the end, leaving the story and coming back to it after weeks each time, only to come back to it this once and reading for 12 hours straight until the credits rolled. This VN accompanied me for quite a while, I felt a lot of things through each chapter, and I don't know how I feel about it being over yet.

I've been here consuming this kind of thing for more than a decade now, but it's my first time getting so invested this way into something like this.
I feel hollow, and kind of alone in how this isn't exactly some blockbuster you can talk about with just anyone.

Sorry for the blogpost.
