What do you think about this vn, /jp/?
Is it really as good as many people say it is (even one of the greatest), or it's just some lame trolling?

I'm downloading it right now, and will try it sometime later.

It truly is an excellent visual novel.
Ignore everyone who says otherwise.

So too much sex is bad?

Also, can anyone tell me why I can't post anymore under my old trip, it's like someone blocked it!!

>>7232382
The amount of sex is on that uncomfortable point where it detracts from focus on the plot, but there's not so much that it's all you care about. One of the only VN's I've read that actually made me want to skip scenes.

>> No.7232397

Do you like girls who have seriously fucked-up (to the point of trauma and severe health risks) lives?

Can you stand to see someone be hurt over and over, and still stick by them and love them?

Can you man the fuck up and save someone from the horror of their empty life?

In the end, this is a really well-written story. It's long, and while every route has a lot of sex scenes it's by no means a majority of any path. It tackles issues most VNs tend to shy away from, and even handles them realistically (or at least, moreso than would be expected for the medium).

I enjoyed it immensely. I hope you can as well.

It's a must play.

In my opinion Mizuki had both the most fleshed out personality, and the best development.
I believe the visual novel did an excellent job of developing her from an out of control teenager to a more stable young lady.

In the beginning we saw only a little bit of rebelliousness from her. However very slowly she became much more unstable. We saw just how out of control she could really get on her trip to hong kong. Over the rest of the VN the protagonist would help her grow into a stable woman. The ending was very sweet.

As for the other heroines, I am not convinced that the problems they were developed enough.
Nekoko had a drug problem, but there was no consistent character development and we never exactly understood why she had the problem until much later. It was a very sudden shift, learning everything about her all at once. Plus much of her development occurred off screen and we only saw her after she was much better at the amusement park. I believe the route would have been better if constructed in a way to slowly show her character and problem over time.

Likewise Aeka had a simple bullying problem. It was nice to see the protagonist give her someone that was nice to her, but I could not see appropriate character development. If you believe there was, please correct me. The choking scene, in my opinion, served as nothing more than fan service and was completely out of character.

Overall I believe that Mizuki had by far the best route with the best ending and the the most incite into her personality with the most consistent character development.

>> No.7232430

It's decent, but by no means great. Aeka route is really the only part that makes it worth playing.

Either way I really doubt anyone would seriously call it one of the greatest eroge unless they've only played like five of them.

I think ero is really holding back the potential of eroge. This medium could be so much more.

Instead of telling people how shitty their tastes are, I rather enjoy them circlejerking about the same mediocre game for years on end while knowing how superior my tastes are and laughing at the peasants.

Being labeled a weeaboo and actually being a weeaboo are different things. Kids these days don't realize words have meanings, they just make up whatever they feel like.
