Currently Grisaia Mitcher's route, and I'm wondering what the heck am I reading.

Well I'm on a date with Michiru right now and there is some seriously awkward and embarrassing things happening. I'd alt-tab out of this and turn on some H scene CGs if someone walked in and saw what I was reading.

the plot for her route is so bad the translator had to rewrite somethings

awkward things? like giving her stones?

Like everything. I know this sounds shallow and mean spirited, but that first kiss  (and second) made me cover up my eyes even though it was just all text.

 

What's charming is that I feel sorry for something in this route?

but you got to admit she looks cute in that outfit she wore in that date

 

anyway she will show quite the development in her route

Just finished Amane's route in Grisaia can't hold back the tears. Such a wonderful ending I can't help it... Should i play the other routes? Has to be hard to top that IMO but maybe that's the feels talking... Would feel like I am cheating on Amane though...

Just started Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Vol.01  and Irotoridori no Sekai

if you couldn't hold back your tears in amane's route wait until you play sachi's route

Sachi looks like a really fun route. I'm tempted to play her next, but I want to save her for last if Makina proves to be a boring route. If so I want to get Makina out of the way first.

makina's rote is basically yuuji's route i wouldn't call it boring it really drops some light on how yuuji became what he is

oh,and if you don't cry at the end of sachi's route you're not human

What is weird to me is Sakaki. In the two routes that I've played without gunning for her, she turns into a completely normal girl and losing her box cutter. It's almost out of character. Makes it hard to believe this was the same girl isolating herself in the common route and brandishing her proud attitude to everyone.

when you get into a rote other heroines except the one you're with will just disappear but i do agree with you she really did have a shift of personality but that's what they call character development

You're doing it right!

[Berilium]

Cheesus. Kara no Shoujo endings are depressing as hell but they are not bad at all, even tough I don't like bad endings I saw them all. 

 

Altough I never actually played or read anything mistery related I like this a lot.

 

I'll begin my 2nd playtrough hoping a happy true ending otherwise I'll punch my dog in the nose /._./

[crunchytaco]

Just finished MIchiru's route. I guess you can say it's a 2 in one route. There were a lot of fun moments where I'm reminded of Great Teacher Onizuka. I'm utterly speechless at Yuuji in this route. Some of the things he said and did to Michiru should have been illegal.  

 

I'm going to flip a coin on Makina and Sachi now. I wish there was a harem ending. 

 

edit: Sachi has er... disturbing fingers. My whole image of her is destroyed.

Yeah, if you look closely, you'll notice it's just the artist's depiction of her fingers going inward rather than fanned out like normal. It's hard to tell if you understand what I just said, so I'll just say Yuuji's fingers are going outwards in this picture.

After beating Kamidori once, I couldn't stand playing it again. Yuela's route was so shallow and the gameplay wasn't addicting enough to make up for them.

I know what you mean about the losing your will to play thing. Though, for me, it seemed like Serwalvi lacked depth the most. Oh, and I continued playing after about five months, so I'm not too sure I'm right about that, but from what I remember of the other routes, Yuela was my favorite, and the pink girl was surprisingly not so shallow.

I understand what you mean about the angle and dimensions but it's still comical. This artist(s) has some beautiful pictures but (s)he also draws some very unflattering angles of the girls. I might be alone on the opinion in this though. There was one CG of Sakaki where she looked quite manly to me with her large square jaw and nose.

Yuela was my favorite out of the bunch too and I picked just her. I heard about how Serwalvi's route was the worst and so I couldn't fathom it.

I found it the same as you do. It was entertaining how the artist manages to mess up these things without actually messing them up. And, by god, DO NOT READ ANYTHING IN SERWALVI'S ROUTE. JUST SKIP EVERYTHING AND GO TO BATTLE.

[SanadaShadow]

I'm thinking about replaying 999, because it's just that awesome. Also because I forgot most of it INCLUDING TWO OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS.

[monkeysrumble]

I have just completed Grisaia, it was a pretty awesome read. I have a personal bias towards Michiru since her route was so god damn cute!

 

Rating the routes on personal enjoyment my order would be Amane>Michiru>Makina>Sachi>Yumiko. I loved Angelic Howl so much that I was thinking about it for days after I finished reading it. Well onto Steins;Gate

 

El Psy Congroo.

[zoom909]

I finished Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel the VN.  Don't look for a VNDB entry, there isn't one.  (And I'm not sure how to add an entirely new entry there.)

But like the Toradora game or the OreImo game, this one is also anime-based.  It's actually a sequel that fits right in between the 2 anime series.

[Berilium]

Finished Kara no Shoujo.

 

Oh well at least the true ending is a little more happier than the rest >.>

I always enjoyed when Mizuhara got killed. Selfish annoying bitch.

The only death I felt sad about was Tsuzukiro. I was hoping that she could have been saved in another ending but nope :c

 

And for some reason in this VN I didn't really feel attached to the characters. As I said the only death I felt sad about was Tsuzukiro, the others were; oh, thats too bad; and Mizuhara was like: I was hoping I little more torture for you.

[SanadaShadow]

I kinda like seeing guro novels, so does anyone have suggestions...? Of course, I'm playing a bunch, but...

It was kind of the same for me, but when Tsuzuriko died, it really hit me hard. She was the character that brightened up the whole story, it was really sad to see her go.

Everything by Clock-Up? I'm not into that kind of stuff so I haven't read any myself, but their works looked really messed up from what I did see.

Uergh, Clock Up... Euphoria was the only VN I've read of theirs (honestly don't know if I could stomach any of the others...), but the scale of "messed-up" in it was truly placed Up To Eleven to extremes that'd practically make even the toughest-minded person downright nauseous. And yet I have to give it a lot of credit, as the story turned out to be absolutely amazing and is in comparison to most of the eroge/VNs you'd find out there. Still... T_T

Hm, so the story is actually good? I was thinking about giving it a go eventually out of morbid curiosity, so if the story at least makes up for it, I could fight my way through the h-scenes somehow, I think. Maybe.... I'll try.
