>> No.11472547

It was a pretty good read, in general, but it felt like it forced that whole gore idea too much, as if it was trying to look as an obscure Visual Novel for the sake of the "edgy" atmosphere. The OST was awfully atmospheric, however, and Saya's personality as a heroine was quite enjoyable and heartwarming, creating a visible contrast between the apocalyptic world and a pure angel coming to save Fuminori. I might be overthinking things regarding this antithesis.

Finished Saya no Uta. And it was really, really average.

95% of the cast was completely unlike-able, the exceptions being Saya herself and Kouji. The plot wasn't all that good, though it did have it's moments. The resolution was either extremely stupid or doesn't resolve much at all, depending on which you take.

That said, I didn't hate it. It was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it never wowed me or made me experience any emotion at all, for that matter. The sad moments never effected me, and the 'intense' moments made me go ''meh''. Everything is pretty much forgettable.

Can somebody explain me why people hyped it so much? Because there's absolutely nothing special about it.

It got so hyped because it was a "beginner" VN. It was one of the VNs that popped up if you just googled visual novels. That being said, back then everyone who just started VNs would tell you to play Saya no Uta, Fate/Stay Night, and Ever 17. Neither of which are particularly special imo.

Saya no Uta is a very cleverly disguised pedophile game. It is pretentious as fuck. Don't be fooled. It is nothing more than an adult student fucking a by all means underage little child. It tries to hide this fact by indroducing an even older man trying to rape Saya making it seem wrong and simultaniously right that the protagonist fucks her. The protagonist is trapped in his own world where is primary focus is the little girl Saya. Just like any other pedophile he is obsessed with her since apparently she is the only desireable thing in a world seemingly made of agony. However this condition only exists in his mind. While the normal outsiders are baffled by his behaviour he justifies it by them being the non-understanding ones. He never tries to explain his condition because he knows that he is fucked up. And him fucking a little girl is acceptable to him because of the pretense of love. This love is strictly superficial since he does not love her because of her character but only due to her childish looks. The only looks he can find attractive by the way.

After Saya was nearly fucked by an even older man she goes from crying to sucking the cock of the protagonist. This is the ultimate desire of the pedophile love from an underage child expressed as sucking cock.

I just finished reading this a few hours ago. My impressions:
The visuals were good. The strongest part of this game would probably be the atmosphere it creates. The CGs along with the music matched together really well and created an immersive setting.
The story on the otherhand is not too interesting. I've seen "it's a eldritch abomination, not your waifu" a million times by now so it was pretty obvious what they were going for from the very beginning (I went in unspoilered)
The thing that bothered me most was MC-kun and how much of a shallow hypocrite he was.
Overall I though the VN was okay. Not good, not bad. I'd say it was above average though.

I quite liked the story, it was nice and simple. I don't think extra complexity would have made it more entertaining, just less believable. I think it was meant to be obvious from the start that Saya is a monster.

I was kind of annoyed how Kouji (and the doctor, depending on route) took up a lot of the limelight towards the end, though. I was hoping there would be a longer focus on the Saya and Fuminori at the end.

>> No.11493587

>>11493574
All I meant about it was how obvious everything became. For a horror/suspense story there has to be some things left in the dark. Saya no uta was bare-bones from the start. I suppose you could count that as a strength that doubles as a weakness.
Also, I was only judging based on my own personal judgment, objectively it seemed to be pretty well-written and thought out.
I just wish we could have learned what exactly sensei-chan saw that traumatized her so badly. Learning more about the professor would have also been interesting.

The music and the visuals together were simply amazing.
As for your comment of Fuminori, I really felt bad for Saya with having to deal with such a terrible person.

What do you think she was thinking throughout that? Do you think she understood that he was terrible, but simply loved him anyway? I've been wondering about this for a while.

That's the thing.
He was only nice to saya, and only for superficial reasons.
Saya's the type who's weak to kindness and affection since she's never had any before, so I'm sure she didn't mind him at all, especially since he always treated her so well.
I was sort of disappointed with saya's intellect though. She was supposed to be a lot smarter than she acted.

That _could_ just be due to what she learned and how she learned it. She was really good at mathy type stuff, but only really learned about the concept of love through romance novels, which probably gave her a skewed notion of it. I'd like to think that through enough absorption of different sources, she developed a more mature way of thinking. But maybe that simply didn't happen.

I think things like emotion are probably more complex than we give them credit for most of the time. If you think about it in the sense that we're hard-wired for emotion, but someone like Saya had to emulate all that hardwiring to come up with the same behaviors, wouldn't that be really tough?

So, what you're saying is that Saya is autistic by nature of her being of an otherworldly species?

Nonhuman animals on earth (given samples of sufficient intelligence) understand and react to emotion in other species.
I can see how it doesn't follow that this is true of Saya, though.

Whatever we believe is arbitrary, there isn't a single objective understanding. Saya is beautiful and there isn't anyone who can argue because their perception makes it unarguable.

I had a friend that told me it was a really great love story. I'm still apprehensive about playing it since apparently some messed up things happen in it.

That's just a possibility. I'd be hesitant to label it as autistic, but you get the idea.

As long as there's a way of modeling other creatures as independent agents with their own objectives and such, which I think Saya was more than capable of doing, that's all you need to react. Understanding and empathy might require a little bit more, the feeling of those emotions yourself, or in this hypothetical case, emulating what those feelings would entail in terms of behavior.

I had the insatiable urge to reread Saya no Uta since yesterday, and started rereading it this morning. It feels so good to get back into that setting after so long.

I'm fond of any stories, games or VNs that manages to get me immersed in its atmosphere, but this is one of the few that I positively revere.
