Anyone else get that empty feeling after finishing a visual novel? Once you get attached to the characters, it's really hard to let go. It's really hard to accept that it just ends, so you just end up in a spiral of depression for the next few days/weeks/months. Hell, you may not ever completely get over it.

Ah yes it happens a lot to me.

There is a VN I finished 7 months ago and still feel really attached to it, even after playing several other titles. Just hearing the songs makes me cry.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't think it has ever lasted for more than a few days for me.

Maybe you should get that checked.

You are such a fag. It's nerds like you who keep me comming back to /jp/ for a good laugh

[Anonymous No.]

Don't tell anyone, but of dozens of VNs I played, I completely finished only two. I usually leave a route, sometimes an ending if there are no routes.
Precisely because I don't want them to end.

[Anonymous No.]

This is the reason I can never finish RPGs. I always stop right near the end.

I'm glad my misery can be used for your happiness then. Not that I dislike it though.

[Anonymous No.]

I did that with Kana, Crescendo (especially), and to some extent, YMK.

[Anonymous No.]

All the time, especially since when I start playing a VN, I greatly dislike quitting without at least finishing a route. I become a girl when I'm sleepy and being sleepy is inevitable after playing for hours, so every VN ends with tears.

The only exception is Kanon, where the "Holy shit, I was fucking a fox all along?" factor in Makoto route outdid whichever sadness that might've been there.

Fucking Cross Channel.

Of all the pictures...
I just finished Chie's route. Favorite heroine by far, d'awwwwwwed my way through the entire third chapter, and yet after finishing it I realize I haven't felt this hollow since I read Planetarian.
Why can't my waifu be real ;_; Kirari True is going to be sitting on standby for a while...

[Anonymous No.]

Thats why i still replay F/SN to this day op.

[Anonymous No.]

Yup, that's why I immediately start another one after finishing.

I'm so glad Realta Nua knew how to kick the encroaching feeling of emptiness in the ass and send it packing before it ended.

[Anonymous No.]

YMK was the only one thus far which gave me a somewhat melanchonical feeling of roneryness, after finishing all 3 routes

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418224
3? Aren't there 5?

I really didnt like the fate route, nor saber, but i can see what you mean anon.

[Anonymous No.]

Ef left me feeling completely drained, fucking great game.

Playing Da Capo now to wind down. Feels okay man.

[Anonymous No.]

I still feel the after-effects of finishing Clannad.

[Anonymous No.]

I get that feeling after I've watched anime as well, and some times video games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418179
There's still Curtain Call to play through.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418281
That's the one thing bolstering my flagging morale right now. I can only hope Chie gets her fair share of the spotlight, but I can't help but worry that Kirari is going to pull a Nagisa-level hijack.

[Anonymous No.]

I felt really sad after beating Mass Effect 2, but that's not really a VN

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418213
This is what I do too.

[Anonymous No.]

Its been half a year and I still dwell on Kirari's normal ending even thought it isn't the canon end.

[Anonymous No.]

>Anyone else get that empty feeling after finishing a visual novel?

Hey, that goes for books too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418367
At least you can rest well knowing that it isn't over yet.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, happens with Idolmaster also.

But then again theres Idolmaster 2 to wait for.

[Anonymous No.]

Happens to me, its like withdrawal. Sometimes I might stop before the end so it isn't over.

Yeah, ef hit me pretty hard with this feeling as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418251
I'm also going through Da Capo right now, bro. I'm almost finished with it. Even though I already finished 2 other routes after her's, Kotori hit me hard. I've never felt so attached to a VN heroine.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418720
you still have more 20 fandisks to play. It's too early to cry.

I went looking for more Kotori and was overwhelmed with how much of a milking cow she is. Not that I'm against it, since I get to enjoy her more.

[Anonymous No.]

Symphonic Rain did it for me.

I want to see the daily life of Chris and his waifu.

[Anonymous No.]

I didn't even feel anything when I finished Cross Channel.
But I woke up that night crying with a sense of loneliness.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418264
And this is why I will never actually finish Nagisa's route.
KEY CAN'T BREAK MY EMOTIONS IF I REFUSE TO READ IT, RIGHT

>>6418857
I understand that, shit was mind crushing.

[Anonymous No.]

it's because you realize your escapist fantasy isn't real and you're actually pathetic and alone

Swan Song's normal end

too much backlog to dwell on a single novel.

I cried at the end and I still got teary eyed at this CG.
Also kinda cried at the end of the webnovels.

[Anonymous No.]

OH GOD, KIRARI IS HOT

[Anonymous No.]

I cried at the end of the Kirari route.

When it comes to F/SN, yeah, I wanted all of it to continue forever. I still feel like shit.

[KOS MOS !!EGaZwla24Ri No.]

>>6418109
Kinda, but not really, I feel so little regularly that I avoid VN's and animu's because feeling to much towards anything is excruciating and disorienting..

[Anonymous No.]

>>6418109
This is why I write fapfiction after I finish a VN I really like.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6420918
fanfiction is shit and you're shit for writing it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6420919
All VNs are fanfiction.

["iluvOP !ge9bznqAsg No.]

After playing yume miru kusurim I cried for 2 days. Aeka was so lovely. It took me allmost a year to start the other routes because I could not let go of Aeka.

I get attached to settings, usually. Characters tend to be interchangable, but a really nice setting is much harder to come by.

Originality is impossible. All things are fanfics. Even you are a crossover of your mother and father.

[Anonymous No.]

Things are what they are. The only value they have is what the individual attributes to them.

Saying all VNs are fanfiction, or you are a crossover of your parents is so meaningless. Whatever it is "you" are is only what you think of yourself and what others think of you. When it comes to VNs, you talk more pretentious philosophy than I do.

[Anonymous No.]

I'd regret the time spent on any medium if I didn't miss the characters afterwards. Fun things excluded.

[Anonymous No.]

sure it's sad, but i love that feeling! VNs are pretty much the only things that keep me from feeling emotionally dead inside anymore.

for me, finishing a good nakige is better than sex.

[None !8FuIlcirno No.]

I'm watching Umineko anime now. Never understood appeal of VN's, never will.
