That short comic has the complete negative ending of To Build a Fire.

The guy that does it in Ever17 made me cry like a bitch. Dude was a motherfucking hero.

when the main character sacrifices and is rewarded with no only loss and pain, but the exact loss and pain they were trying to avoid

because it really happens IRL and I can relate

While this affected me greatly, I still think that Haruka route from Edelweiss had a much huger impact on me.
I mean when the MC was slowly falling apart because he loved her so much. It was really sad.

It really depends on the build-up and execution rather than who is sacrificed. But generally:

Protagonist = Manly tears
Heroine = Bitch Tears

It can easily go the other way around though.

How the hell is that dog holding a knife?

Like anything else it depends on the execution. Overall I definitely like the theme and have cried many times to such scenes.

fuck, that dog has a knife.

How isn't he?

With his thumb silly.

When the heroine dies I'm usually pretty torn for the rest of the night.
When the MC dies, I feel a calm satisfaction for some reason.

With the right context it's really powerful

A friend giving his life for the protagonist's cause can be IRL brofist worthy

The protag sacrificing himself for another character can be strongly characterizing bad end or plot point if he attempts, but somehow survives

I usually don't appreciate heroines playing the silent self-sacrificial role, hiding love, hooking them up with who she thinks he really likes, etc... because it half makes it seem like the protagonist's fault for not noticing

Strait out heroine sacrifices can be terrifically heroic and tragic

btw good topic OP

That picture is so ridiculous. I think maybe it was supposed to be serious but I couldn't help but laugh at the bad art and the fact that that dog has a knife. How does a dog even know what knives is?

>What do you think about the act of self sacrifice as a plot device in VNs ?

Well... it has to have girls you know... girls that are in pain, suffering, dying... it is epitome of MOE...

Reported for ban evasion.

Kana Imouto.

The epitome of win filled story telling.

That was the saddest story I have ever come across. It was also the most beautiful damn thing I had ever read.

>>3804604
and i thought they smelled bad on the outside...

>>3804604
I don't think you wanted to discuss that at all. Rather, you just wanted to post that ridiculous image.

"I want you to live on"

>>3804995
It was the only picture I had which was somehow related to the thhread.

Sacrifice is for pussies. Man up and save yourself, the bitch and the world.

Reported.

for what?

There's a reason they're known as /m/anly tears. This is old hat to /m/.

>>3804604

In my case it depends. I'm not much in the sacrificing side, nor I like others sacrificing themselves for me, but there is some instances like when Shirou fights alone vs dark saber in the Heaven's Feel. I would gladly do it if I were in his shoes.

>>3804656
I felt the same. The feeling when Haruka died was damn hard, but I hoped she didn't came back to life, it would make more interesting in my eyes, like her grandma's case. I felt happy with the ending, but at the same time felt like it missed something.

All things equal the loved one dying is harsher. The main character is supposed to man up and protect his people or die trying so someone he's looking after dying for him is a failure. Of course, it all depends on the specific story.

Character that missed the good end, screwed up, and has to take the self sacrifice option makes me sad.
