I'd say that Emi's bad ending definitely contained closure, but in the nastiest coldest way possible. Hisao stopped being cordial with Emi and Emi already cut Hisao loose and was almost clinically detached from him. Yes, it was kind of nasty, but on the whole it makes you appreciate the bullet you ...

Well... crap. That sucked. You know that pit you get in your stomach when something feels awful and you can't do anything about it? That's how the bad ending was there, full stop, the entire time. They never talked again. That's haunting, as a closing line, especially compared to the sweetness of th...

Holy shit, Hisao really is a complete asshole when you make the wrong choice. I expected something bad, but wow , I'm actually surprised. There's pressing somebody because they need help and won't accept it, and then there's... whatever hissy fit he just threw. I don't think I could have chosen wors...

The thing is, your mileage can vary. I felt like Mean Time to Breakdown was a really opaque title for my story, and the role reversal between Iwanako and Hisao was intended to be a twist, but based on reader responses, everybody who clicked on the link immediately knew what it was going to be about...

Okay, so on a lighter note, it turns out skip mode is kind of hilarious. Feels speed ahead!

And if you can deal with it but don't really feel like it?

Y'know what, I'm going to watch Emi's bad ending right now.

Have to agree, I dont want to see bad ends, doesnt mean I'm just a wuss for not wanting to see. With all due respect, I kind of think you are. Honestly? It's an H game/novel. Not wanting to feel bad while playing/reading one particular game/novel does not make you anything. Otherwise, I could go ah...

I keep going back and forth between being vaguely creeped out by it and liking it, and the longer I stare, the less clear it is which one I'm leaning towards.

There are times in the game when you interact with Misha without Shizune around, and she comes across as much more quiet and subdued. She's still usually cheerful and her personality is intact for the most part, but she's much less in your face about it. She might act over the top whenever Shizune ...

I hate my life sometimes, guys. But whatever. I'm okay, which is the weirdest part. This is, honestly, almost nothing compared to what I used to feel. And therein lies the problem. When progress is such a shithole, it just feels like there's so little hope. At least I can't give up. Sorry that this...

I feel like a mix is best. A catchy title that grabs the reader's attention and gives a broad idea of the subject, but doesn't give away the details or full direction, allowing development and surprises that go beyond the name of the story.

I wish we got to see more canon Shiina. Not even as a romantic option, just as a person.

...I don't...Words... Are you frustrated ? Fixed that for you, Spunky. ;) Incredible.

"No more bubblyness"?? That is a facade she's put on to mask and cope with her pain. I often wonder exactly what she's like without that. I mean, she's exaggerating obviously, but it's not all fake, is it? Certainly not. She seemed plenty bubbly in that one photo of her before the drills. That's a ...

The thing is, what's wrong with not wanting to see that, even if that is the reason? The devs put time and effort into it, and it's part of the game. I appreciate that. That doesn't mean anybody is obligated to look at it, or that it's weak to not want to see a character you care about in such a cra...
