Rewrite's Writing

[worstzweisg]

Hi i have recently just finished rewrite from key. As many people who read it i don't really understand Romeo Tanaka's writing or what he is trying to convey in the story.Anyone can explain to me what he is trying to say?

I can't tell you what he was trying to say on a grander scale, but there were times where I feel like he was trying to say "fuck you" during certain events.

Then pretty much all of Maeda's VNs and anime should be called "WTF is this ending?"

well, he's not the only writer of the game. There are two other who are there to blame too

He wrote the main scenario. The other 2 just worked on individual routes.

Since you didn't write in detail on what are you confused about, I can't exactly see what are you need to know more about Romeo Tanaka's writing. So perhaps you can try to write in detail on what are you're confused about, or what are you need to know more about. Yeah Rewrite did have three writers for the reminder, and the other two writers (Ryukishi and Tonokawa) only wrote characters routes (Ryukishi did write Lucia's route, while Tonokawa did write Chihaya's and Shizuru's routes).

PS - By the way it should also be noted that the planner for Rewrite here is not one of the writer, but rather the illustrator herself Hinoue Itaru. While I see an example when the illustrator can have more good grasp on the setting compared to the main writer, I think it's more common to see the planner role also doubled as one of the writer. While I didn't say that the planner should also write the scenario as well, I think that the KEY's decision on leaving the planner position to someone who specialized in drawing illustrator might be a bit questionable, which explain on why people think that Rewrite's story is so fractured in that it might be caused by the coordination lacking in organizing the story (ie Hinoue might not be experienced in handling the story back then).
