It's pretty damn good especially as highschool romance fiction goes, quite possibly the greatest highschool romance written for english speaking readers. However, I did find the pacing of the H-scenes a bit jarring, and the descriptive phrases used during them were very clunky and reminiscent of Nasus lesser work. All things considered though it's forgivable, as the writers were from 4chan after all and we all know they and most of us were and are still virgins at the time it was written. A solid 90% from me, I would have liked an option to romance Misha though or at least beat her brains in with a shovel.

KS was alright but it's way overrated since the west didn't and still doesn't have access to the full collection of good VNs.

Tried to read this, following the Emi path. My immersion was shattered when the narrator was a complete loser who can't even beat a girl in a race, and the authors wrote a track athlete character without understanding even the absolute basics of the sport.

The impression I got of his disease is that his heart is at risk of having hazardous episodes triggered by excessive strain, not that it's weak in general. One of my competitors in high school track had a condition like that. He was extremely fit, but would sometimes have to stop running because his heartrate would spontaneously double.

I played KS in the first month that it came out. It's hard to believe that it's already 7 years old.
Rin's route is by far my favorite, the rest of them are decent except for Shitzune.
Overall, I would say that it's a good starting point for someone who's new to VNs and it's better than 99% of literature written in the past 15 years.

I played it twice, first time got emi, but second time got the suicide scene. What does this mean about my life?

Like most generals they basically just use the thread as an anonymous chatroom.
KS is a pretty short game so there really isn't a whole lot to talk about. They ran out of actual discussion material a long time ago but for some reason they just kept making threads where they talk about nothing.

Rin is the most intriguing character to me, and her route was the most painful, but Emi is definitely the best girl by any metric.

They have art contests now and then though. My music won second place in the summer contest last year, which was $25. That was cool. But then I suddenly realized it was unhealthy for me to spend so much time wallowing there in emotional filth, and also a notorious tripfag started showing up again. He's hated so much that nobody posts if they realize he's awake. Skynet is cool though. I had a good few months chatting there. It was nice, like a hidden little cave where losers could show up to hang out, talk about bullshit, and just be losers without having to think too much about it. But it's not a good place to be for a long period of time.
