Anyways fiction shouldn't try to always imitate life too much. That's why it's fiction. Truth is stranger than fiction. Because fiction has to make sense. (Unless you're James Joyce, anyway.) Wasn't it James Joyce who wrote Finnegan's Wake? I actually want to attempt to read that, but I know that m...

I really should not be reading this right now since I have coursework that needs to be in for Tuesday. So I won't. However, I've skimmed through the first 20 or so pages and read a few passages and it looks pretty damn good, 184 pages will be a bit of a stretch for me to get through in a reasonable ...

Well, I'm a fan of the bittersweet ending myself, so I consider this something of a treat. I like the little struggle she has about whether she wants Hisao to come or not. My favourite is the good ending personally, but bittersweet endings make for more interesting conclusions to a story. It's like...

Awww, I was hoping this would be a nice present . I'll make sure the next updates are happy ones and make it up to everyone

I did say I couldn't guarantee this so early, so hopefully it'll be a nice Christmas present for you all! To anyone who hasn't noticed though, please remember I've updated this twice in three days, so make sure you haven't missed the previous chapter before reading this one. And on that note, Merry...

the name of this chapter. It's a reference to a 1924 chess game And I thought my scene titles were going to be hard to figure out… :P Oh yes ;). Every single one of my chapter titles has a distinct meaning, and often (though not always) a reference outside the story as well. I might just put a list...

We're nearing the end of another branch! I can't guarantee another update before Christmas, but I will try. Otherwise, if I don't post again before then, Merry Christmas to you all! :) For now, we have another choice for Hisao to make, and then we start approaching the endgame... On that note, a fe...

Awful lot of updates in November; couple that with a multi-week absence and you have me almost losing this thread! Decent update as always. Hadn't thought of the good-neutral ending dynamic until now, but I did always expect the order to be Bad, Neutral, Good. It'll be very interesting to see Hanak...

Great to see this story updated again. This is one of my favorite ongoing stories on the site. With that said, good chapter. I'm really looking forward to their second time in the city. though that's probably a few chapters away(it's been a while since I've played the route). Thank you! Although I'...

That was... interesting. I won't give actual critique, not after reading your OP and noting how you will deliberately subvert the usual conventions, but this first tale was pretty well written and kind of makes sense even if it is moving so far over the canon boundary it's in sight of the curvature ...

I'm sorry this has been so long coming, life kind of got in the way for a while. I promise you won't be waiting almost two months for the next update! Also, another song reference used for the title of this chapter... Act 3 – Chapter Ten, Second Branch: Summer In The City “So, what do you want to d...

I don't even... what? WHAT? Huh?

I would actually love to see this as an actual route, even though I know it won't happen. Ah well, it'll be interesting to see how this thread develops...

From what I've read so far, It's good. But- and this is really important- but you do realize that the reason Hanako hates her birthday isn't because she blames herself for her parents death? Look at what she says in the last scene: "E-every birthday was the same. Everyone doing their best to p...

...Damn. I mean, damn . Thank you for posting that. Two things... I think I'm reading more into her expression when all of her energy is spent (the last time Hisao sees her, the last two lines of his internal monologue before he closes the door), than you are. I'm reading remorse into it, that she ...

This is the final chapter for this particular path, apologies for it being so long in the coming. It was pretty tough to write, and not in the technical sense. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for the next chapter, the start of the next thread :) Act 4 – Chapter Two, First Branch: What Must ...
