Man, I'm so used to route-based NVLs that these ending-based ADVs just trip me up. Don't know if I can keep up since the series started to be SRPGs after this too.
Also I'm not sure if it's because of when these games were written or the time period they're set in, but I had a really hard time reading them. Maybe I spent too much time in school settings.

Depends on what forgetting means for you and also depends on what you desire from the experience of reading eroge.
If I did that I would be able to remember what happened such as "last time they kissed and started going out" or "last time they fought and this guy ran away" but I would not be able to revert to the same state of mind / feelings which is what I need.
You could switch in-between routes I guess. You would only forget the details of the common route.

Some Chinese guy made a cleanly working installer and game crack for all 9 Nine games.

Just tested it on all 4 episodes + the full release with the extra episode and it works great.

if you like high energy bakage it's pretty fun. hits that mid 2000s anime feel really well, reminds me of negima.
that said it drags a bit when it's not doing funny stuff and the writer's got a terminal case of what i can only describe as Good Boy Syndrome, in which everyone ganbares real hard and follows the rules and does things by the book and the possibility of doing otherwise does not even occur to people
still, it's fun and the character designs really do it for me. it's the game equivalent of a big bucket of cotton candy.

Okay, I just got another weight lessening part and it actually alleviated the overload. The memories objects are still a problem but at least I won't crashland every time I move 2 squares away from a city. I didn't expect the gameplay element to be this tight on resource management, which is really surprising. You have some leeway, but every time you set out to look for another city or monument for refuel you really need to be on your toes. It gives the "gameplay" element just a tiny bit of spice, it's an interesting addition if nothing else.
Doing the gameplay segments is worth it as well, I just got a random scene where a waspman (insignificant spoilers:) casually decided to board our airship and was already in the middle of cooking us a meal by the time we even realized that someone was on board.
I'm not even really doing any trading between different landmarks, I just search up the land when I'm reasonably near a city and pick up random items. Seems to be a more efficient way of doing it, I got like 2K shillings (now down to 1.5 after getting a Memories object), I can't tell if I'm doing good or bad on the wallet though.

It's pretty fun, recall it being my guilty pleasure game when I was studying for my high school matriculation exams ages ago. Both main and side characters are cute, decent humor, the plot is mostly lighthearted with some neat chuuni moments. The fan disc / sequel PSS improves much in the gameplay department since every character gets 2-4 special attacks instead of just one, and there's more playable characters in general, especially when you factor in the Pricchi crossover side story and the Starlit Brave standalone game that lets you play with any characters including bosses and some extras from other eroge. Not sure if they backported any of that stuff into the original game's all-ages ports. The main game has some issues with difficulty where both Easy and Normal are way too easy, whereas Hard is just "get fucked" mode, though it's doable if you luck out on good starts and know what you're doing. PSS has a much better difficulty curve.

Not really because it can be cool how seemingly insignificant choices at first can build up logically to scenarios playing out and characters developing in dramatically different ways.

There's exceptions to the rule. I think Baldr Sky managed to do routes well - aside from repeated text that the game doesn't consider repeated so skip-read function doesn't work, but that's a different issue. The heroines are adults living separate lives rather than everyone being one big group of friends hanging out together, and some of them belong to different factions that are actively hostile to each other. So not only it makes sense for character development only to happen in heroine routes since they often aren't really even present during other girls' personal plotlines, and from story perspective it's also interesting since you get to see the different factions and their reasoning from within. I'm still a bit peeved that Heart opted for a more straightforward one badguy faction and one good guys faction plot.

Muramasa also manages to do routes pretty neatly since the other heroines aren't there for obvious reasons, and characterization wise both of the first routes focus on different parts of Kageaki's internal struggles and character development, so it's not something irritating like (completely different genre but works for comparison) HaruUru where every single route aside from one repeats the protagonist's childhood trauma, albeit with a different heroine helping him get over it.

That's not really directly important. It's just background shit. What matters is what the characters actually do which is pretty different from route to route.

Speaking of choices, Cartagra had some fun map movement and pixel hunting point'n'click adventure parts where characters would be available or move around during different time frames and different clues and items would become available during certain times, and things would go differently if you stopped specific events or let them happen. If only the game didn't also use a retarded flag system that doesn't relate to the actual mystery. Kaseki no Uta had something roughly similar with mansion room selection map movement and no point'n'click parts, and while the whole game was nothing but a flag hunt it had the courtesy of actually telling the player when they gained a flag, so it still felt satisfying to do it on your own.

Kamaitachi no Yoru is probably the poster boy for trillion billion regular VN-style choices that can change shit, though actual content wise the game flip flops between extremely generic and extremely weird.

Yu-no really was fantastically designed. You're given a clear gameplay objective from the word go - collect mysterious shining doodads - and the flowchart shows their rough position on the timeline but not how to get there. The game also teases the player by dangling one of the doodads right in front of their face in the beginning, but they have no way to access it until much later on when having the right item, which gives the player another clear gameplay goal right from the word go and reminds them about it at the start of every new playthrough. Collecting doodads also benefitted the player gameplay wise since they'd get more save points to jump around. The final shining doodad's puzzle solution where the answer was shown in the game's intro was icing on the cake. Beautiful.

Furuiro could've been a great game if only the writers were more competent. I remember early on there's this one scene where you're missing the right keyword to proceed, but the keyword in question is 起こす that should be used on a character who's about to wake up on her own anyways, so if you don't have it the game just repeats the exact same line of her being just about to wake up, rather than leading to another route. It's retarded. If I'm not remembering wrong the game also didn't have that many routes, the flowchart was only designed in a retarded manner to look complex when in practice it was just convoluted looking: go one route to get a keyword until you hit a dead end, go back to another route to get a keyword there, and after that the rest of the game is almost entirely linear. Worst part was the absolutely retarded fate point system that decreased and increased nilly willy with no rhyme or reason that led to instant game over if it went to zero for any character - but then increased right back higher than it was before so you could just brute force it anyways. Absolutely retarded. The in-game hint system was alright though.

Yu-no really is the best time loop game. I dont think anything else will top it for me.

My whole VN experience has been me trying to chase the high I got when I played YU-NO for the first time.

It's funny how it inspired the whole medium and yet no one bothered to recreate anything even close to its gameplay quality through all those years

nta but it's an issue I have with most chuunige where the protags fight and win against the antagonists in multiple routes
sure you don't see them fighting at their full power or whatever until the true end but it still cheapen their final fight for me
even muramasa has this with ginseigo dying in some lame way in every routes which make her appear less threatening

I can't think of any that do it other than Muramasa
I really liked how Tokyo necro did it, like sure you could win in all the routes but then the true route shows the true meaning of the winning

Hey, did anyone here buy Sesshoku? I don't wanna buy it cuz it might have DRM.*

Please upload it for me

Tokyo necro is the worst example of all because it requires a route order and you have free access to all of them from the beginning

I was referring to the beating antagonist in other routes, but yes illiya should have been locked

I never skip H-scenes.
If they're boring, I grab a dumbbell and do curls while I read.

Feels kinda wasted not gonna lie, the atmosphere of the countryside and mountains is just so damn good it really brings me back
Rather than normal moege it gives the vibes somewhere between Nonnon biyori and Frying witch
Those awkward h scenes in the prologue feel so out of place it's just funny

Not sure I agree with assertion. In most chuunige I can think of, the final boss is different across the routes or it does something like where the real final boss isn't there until the true route or something. I can't think of any where the protagonist really does just beat the same non-jobber guy in multiple routes.

Technically true I guess although I don't really count it since what happened Ichigo's route is more like a fluke and not actual conflict resolution.
