I'm very shallow at picking if i have too much to pick from. I go to vndb and see the art and read the tags and the plot introduction. If everything checks out and it seems to be something i'd like then i go for it. But now i'm just like many others, and just waiting for releases as there aren't really that much good left to choose from.

Just finished this and what a damn ride that was! Beautiful ending as well. Well, apart from indecisive harem. Don't know why writers write themselves into a corner like that tbh as i understand that none can be selected, at least from the important two. And it's funny how non romance stories have the best damn romance when it happens, what's up with that? Watase was a true man when he was talking to Kazami, way more touching than regular romance stuff. Either way, the story was good. There can be no doubt about that. It did have it's giant problem though, and that was it's way of telling the story. First route was amazing through and through. Second, not so much with it's infinite number of flashbacks and mc's grating voice as a kid. Third was ok. Fourth was almost as bad as the second with it's relentless flashbacking. Yes, every flashback was relevant and gave us a lot of "aha" moments, but that nagging feeling about the story as a whole being completely halted never vanished. It was a slog, even though it was at times very interesting, it was tedious nonetheless. But when the story finally broke out of it's cryostasis it immediately became amazing again, and with a touching ending as well. Well, i can't do anything but recommend this for anyone who likes suspense thrillers with loads of mysteries, plot twists and careful revelations. Well, be prepared for flashback hell, but that's about the only thing i can truly fault it with. I didn't read the extend episodes though as they just seem to be more flashbacking for more fleshing out of characters, which i personally feel is pointless.

Nope, "crowdfunding" does not automaticaly mean people are throwing in money without some kind of return on investment. Notice that tech crowdfunding campaigns work just the same - they're early adopter platforms and people would find it insane if it was any other way. GoFundMe pages on chemo treatment are a different thing, but that's really not what we're talking about. Let's agree to disagree on that. And yes, I'm being obnoxious and judgmental. It's my personal prerogative as an asshole. But my core issue is with companies that create exploitative crowdfunding models and don't give a shit about consequences of doing so. It's just like gambling, people are not technically forced to abusing it to their personal detriment, but that doesn't mean you're not allowed to find some businesses that utilize gambling for profit morally appalling.
