Lilly is objectively waifu status, but my turn on for quiet, shy, timid girls went up like a motherfucker with Hanako. Her interest in chess also helped out with that at the time I read it. I thought i would like Shizune's route a lot more, but it felt sub par. And rin is just... rin.

Would like more VNs with feels like this one gave me, any recommendations?

Try Swan Song. I found it much more fucked up than Saya no Uta. But that is because the monsters in that game are people.


I hear Kara no Shōjo is supposed to be fucked up also but haven't played/read that yet.

I have it in the backlog but I'm scared to start. I know it will scar me for a while and I'll probably be depressed for about a week after going through one route.

I couldn' get into Swan Song though. Got as far when they were starting to try and find another town, after shit was getting terrible in the shelter. For whatever reason it bored me.

>>323270314
When I finished reading it, I tried my hardest to get something out of it. I drank more tea, tried out sign language, did all of >>323270675 this chart, and eating bacon. Nothing became a habit, so I just dropped everything.

I just wanted to change like how a lot of others did after playing it

Also I didn't think fucking dead bodies was all that hot but Swan Song changed my mind.

>>323271346
Seriously? I may have to give it another go. I think I ave my saves backed up.

I got a bad ending where that autist stays with the "priestess" and she fucks him silly all the time.
Also got another event where the angsty nerd rapes the autist's wannabe girlfriend but I redid the choice because I couldn't really bear with doing that.

>>323271526
I forgot about the priestess ending. But if you got that far that is the other town I was talking about. Had they started murdering and raping each other at that point?

No man. You can't get real, fulfilling, self actualization and life changes out of this shit. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed KS, and I enjoy VN's, but it's because I understand what they give me and they're strictly entertainment.

Seeking to change your life over a virtual girl, hell even a real one, is completely the wrong way to go about things. Those factors are external, you have to change internally, for yourself. Why do YOU want X or Y? How does it benefit you personally, apart from external validation? Real change won't happen if the desire doesn't come from this place.

You ever see those /fit/ threads where dudes got super swole just to try to pick up girls, but still have problems, and still feel like losers? It's because they got jacked for an external reason. They didn't do it for health reasons, or to challenge themselves, or to see the beauty of the human form, they did it for an external yearning and it goes unfulfilled because there was no self actualization.

Me too, bro

>>323271723
What happened?

>>323271526
There are two "main" endings. A bad end and after getting that it unlocks a "not as bad" end.

>>323271845
I don't think it's about the girl per se, it's about the emotional journey you go on, find qualities you didn't even know you liked in something or someone. I've gotten a lot out of VN or any forms of media that make me think on a deeper level. Not just trying to bang virtual disabled girls, we all came for that, and stayed and cried bitch man tears about how the story rollercoastered.

>>323270446
Go to bed, Pauli

>>323270314
I picked up drawing and I'm feeling really happy because of that.

>>323271993
Intestine got infected, exploded, gangrene developed because of it ... thus amputation. I liked her a lot in HS, but dating her was bad. I like confessed I liked her when she woke up from a coma when that all was happening, I didn't know if she was going to live or not. So the disabled thing was irrelevant. KS treats this paradigm so tastefully having gone through it I must say.

>>323271845
>implying motivation can't be kickstarted externally to get interalized

Brosef we had a chill thread going. In fact, you're wrong from even a scientific stand point as external sources are almost always the attributing factor to change. Chill with the judgmental 'tude you jive turkey. First time I've seen a KS/VN thread last this long without terrible shitposting and I'm enjoying it.

>>323272316
>Intestine got infected, exploded, gangrene developed because of it ... thus amputation

Hoe do your intestines get infected?

How does that effect your feet?

Did you get to fuck her?

>>323272290
Share something with us.

>>323272078
>>323272324

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't doubt a VN or for that matter any fictional medium can't awaken or make you aware of something that you didn't notice before. I absolutely think KS could have opened some anon's eyes to their lives and begin the journey of looking inward.

I'm just saying using it as a direct motivation is a fundamentally flawed idea and young men especially are prone to attaching such high value to females in general that it becomes sabotage on their way to self actualizing.

And yes I'm aware that scientifically external factors lead to change, I'm quite familiar with adaptation, but self actualization is not adaptation.

They're hopeless autists in the real world and can self insert into the character and trick themselves into thinking anyone or anything would ever feel love for them.

No, she had a whole slew of medical problems her whole life ... poor thing. Even if I'm a little bitter over the break up I don't want her hurt or anything it sucks she has to handle all that shit day to day.

I'd rather not have /v/ look her up, lol. She was pretty though, had a chest and back piece tattoos. We're both 23, went to highschool together, it happened right out of HS.

The mixture of the visuals and music gave a really melancholy and comforting atmosphere a lot of the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzCJASxRdTQ

That aside, a few routes have some really engaging writing (mainly Rin and Lily) where as others are fairly dull.
Also the art for characters is sometimes pretty fucked, definitely not a strong point.
Though, in the end it kept me interested enough to read a majority of the routes and feel real emotions for the characters.
It's alright.

The average consumer doesn't want to read walls of text.
Very few people actually sit down and read books too. Unless it's the source material to some new TV show or movie.

Kawata is strictly >>>/vg/ territory OP. It's the reason why that shithole was invented.

How about nahhhhh. Surprising amount of relevant discussion here, not so much there. Plus the topic was broad, not specific.

That universe is too ripe for it's own good not to have ever got a good game out of it, VN or not. All we got were the mediocrity that is the squeals/prequels.

Time to boot up DOSBox anon.

>>323277958
Should have qualified by saying story driven. I admit my incorrect slander, those RTS' were great. I wish Westwood was ever given the chance to take those further.

Still, now I'll always be haunted at never getting a Dune VN.
