MOST BRILLIANT ANIME QUOTES ~

Thing is, a lot of visual novels just go with having obtuse choices to raise some behind-the-scenes flags that you can't see-- eventually most people (including me) just give up and go use a walkthrough. This is obviously far worse with VNs that sport a whole fucking bunch of choices. The worst that comes to mind is Root Double. RD features a choice system where every character concerned with a choice has a meter and you pick a level between 1-8 for each, but it's never clearly or intuitively defined what the meter identifies. The protagonist's trust? Respect? Just a measure of how much of their attention is on the concerned character? It keeps changing and it's really frustrating, even with the tips you get when you reach a bad ending.

Confession: Read "Ever since Irma passed" and thought your grandma passed away or something, hah. Get well soon. Confession II: I also missed this thread. After it stalled I really haven't visited Fuwa all that often. Confession III: Currently trying to deal with uni applications (Canada, USA, UK) and it's CHAOTIC.

Pick a few trusted reviewers of VNs (not pros, but bloggers), then give them a free copy. If your VN is good, that's advertising right there.

Gothic Delusion, maybe? I remember it being short and interesting, even if it doesn't really go anywhere. Phenomeno (oh, I forgot this was translated, oops) This is on my desperation list of recommendations from others (for when I run out of everything): https://vndb.org/v8436 Both Ren'ai Jijou games (Hataraku Otona and Hataraku Otaku) Hotel. (if you just do the true ending) https://vndb.org/v16584 To be blunt, Psychologic Love Comedy definitely picks its readers...

Glad to be of service. I hate pointless choices that make no difference to the game, but even more I hate choices that do make a difference to the game but there is no logical connection with the outcome based on the choice. I'm too old to take any enjoyment whatsoever out of bad endings too so that pretty much leaves me with only Alcot type choice selections - make 3 choices in total which ends up choosing which heroine's good end you get and there is no bad end.

jinpou just wants some chinpo : (
