There were nights that I almost felt lucky that I hadn't been raped, or been asked to steal things for someone else – at least, not yet I'm not quite sure what kind of stuff you imagine happening in Japanese orphanages... Not the orphanage, but in junior high, which I presume she did attend. As far...

Nice chapter. I did notice that Naomi addressed Natsume by her surname. I know that's par the course in Japan regarding the interaction between most people, but I figured Naomi and Natsume were on good enough terms with one another go with a first name basis. (seeing that Lilly/Hanako and Emi/Rin a...

Going back a few posts... Please post her thoughts. :) I sent them along via PM so as not to clutter the thread. If anyone else is interested in discussing HoshiMemo, feel free to PM me also. Additionally, remind me never to read one of these longer VNs - twice - while in the middle of writing a cha...

At the first hint of sunlight through my drapes, I wake up from another restless night. I don't think I've slept properly since I confessed to Hisao, and this might have been the hardest yet. Still, for better or for worse, I'm well acquainted with this state, so I'm ready for whatever today might b...

For me, it feels like they each rescue it for the other, without even knowing that they've done so. Extraordinarily appropriate.

By the time I realise exactly what I’m doing, I’m already doing it. My lips press against Hanako’s. *facepalm* Oh, and I'd been enjoying this so much up until now, and then we had to have one of these ... Full marks for writing it well, but I'm sick to death of these types of scenes and I'd been pr...

My vote for the saddest good end would be Lilly's. Holy shit. The one answer I did not expect anyone to defend, boom, right off the bat. I thought Lilly's good end was supposed to be the ultimate feelgood fairy-tale fantasy of lollipops and rainbows? (Not my accusation, but a common one) I also vot...

Most people don't.

Please post her thoughts. :) Not sure if I'm allowed to do that, but if so I'd be happy to. We're going through Asuho's route first -- she joined me in being disappointed at there not being a route for Setsuna :( . I don't mind waiting at all, mate. I am from the old school of fanfiction, where a y...

If I wanted reality, I'd go back to my own crappy love life…

Life is often sad.

Checking in with a quick update... I was really hoping to have this next chapter done by now, but it has been...somewhat troublesome. A few things have come up in real life, including a request from my blind friend to read another VN to her, so I'm now in the process of going through the thicket tha...

For the time being, I have gone back and edited the OP to indicate the PoV for each chapter, per Tripping. It should be useful, and mostly spoiler-free. I'm still open to other suggestions, of course.

I spent a good hour searching online for some kind of time line, do you know of one? Ad thanks for the feedback I'll have my editor do a second check of it for mistakes :) I went through a similar problem when I started my story. The only decent timeline I found is from this post by ProfAllister, a...

This is the only excellent neutral ending continuation out there. Definitely the only one I'd recommend to anybody. Wow...high praise indeed! If I keep getting this kind of feedback from people whose work I respect my head might be twelve sizes too big instead of ten ;). (Gonna have to disagree wit...
