I just want to know, am I the only person who hated that complete asspull of a "plot twist" in G-Senjou no Maou? Literally this breaks the very first rule of Knox's rules for Mystery stories: "The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow." There are other reasons why I think G-Senjou no Maou is a crappy VN, but this is the factor that has always pissed me off the most. Mostly because I rarely see people talk about this very obvious and significant oversight. At least the soundtrack is good, was probably the only thing that kept me engaged enough to finish the VN...

There is no rule saying that someone HAS to follow someone elses ruleset of how mysteries should be. But i agree that it was badly handled.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Back when I started reading VNs, I read h-scenes in their entirety because I wouldn't want to risk missing out on anything story related, but there's usually nothing even remotely noteworthy in them so I just skip past most of them nowadays. I can imagine there being a few scenes that are worthwhile in White Album 2 though, so I might pay more attention there.

Excuse the delay; it took an incredible amount of techno-engineering to assemble the following product and also I was working for 9 days straight:
