This one deserves a lot more attention, I guess the usual critics have gone astray for a bit. I really did like it; this stands a good chance of being my favorite Iwanako-focused story if you keep up the good work and keep working on your own weaknesses. And if you finish it. (rip dewelar) As for co...

Yeah, this one was kinda all over the place. Felt like maybe the author had an idea of a sequence of events they wanted to write about, but for the pacing and whose perspective it's being told from and what mood they're going for, they were just kind of winging it. I would have imagined the climax o...

I'm in the same boat here. I never knew him in any capacity, but I felt like I should say something. When I hear of a celebrity dying, it doesn't really affect me much- if I constantly mourn the deaths of people I don't know, there won't be much time left for me to be happy. But having been so deepl...

To be honest I couldn't really bring myself to read enough of this to bother commenting on it. But I like talking about words, so my time has come. It's definitely the case that most of the contexts in which I hear the word "lewd" are anime-related, but it's definitely used elsewhere on oc...

I also quite liked this one. I joined the forums only after KS released, so seeing these "beta" characters is always an interesting, if strange, experience. The Lilly we know today remains my preferred iteration of her though- she just has an irreplacable spot in my heart by now. Even so, ...

“Mm...then Dad is going to hate you,” Rin said with such certainty that it bordered on terrifying. “You spoiled me for marriage, then dated me, then spoiled me again. So he’ll probably hate you three times, like someone who hates fish having to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’ve never se...

When she speaks, does she hear herself as an echo a few seconds later? When she throws something in the wastebin, does the lolli jump in time (from her perspective) the moment it leaves her hands? Every time I found myself reading this, I had similar ideas. I'm amazed they let her anywhere near a s...

Very nice, I'll want to keep up with this one for sure. Rin has always seemed like a rather hard character to write to me, especially in a more serious story with development, but I'm enjoying her portrayal. There are times when I think that characters may be reacting somewhat unusually. Hanako seem...

The year is 2112. I've had a good life. After having spent some of my earlier years obsessed with some silly anime cripple girls, I eventually found love of my own. Alas, she has moved on to the great beyond ahead of me, and things haven't been the same since. For a brief moment, I wonder if there's...

When I was about 15, I watched Death Note for the first time, and loved it. Then again, I watched Sword Art Online shortly afterwards and also loved that, so take from that what you will. Looking back now, there is about one thing about both of them that I still find gripping: the premise. A noteboo...

Something strange is definitely going on here, and you've got me quite interested to find out what it is. Good stuff! Some of the implications feel a bit depressing. Even if all of this gets resolved soon, it doesn't seem like there will be much time left for Hisao and Lilly before she has to leave ...

Man, that's quite the story. I'm happy to hear things have been going better for you. I was around 14 when I first played KS too, and it changed me in a big way. I may not be able to relate to all of what you've been through, but that's something we and plenty of other people on here have in common....

Hi Wanderingheartache. I imagine by now you've probably heard back from the doctor about whatever results you've been waiting for. From what you've said of your family history, the odds didn't sound too promising. I hope it was a better result than you were expecting. Either way, I'm rooting for you...

It's always a treat to stop by the forums for the first time in a few months and find one of my favorite authors on here with something new. I don't know what you have planned but I'm enjoying it. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the concept of returning to Yamaku and its characters years la...

Walrusfella, I'm glad to hear that you're doing all right. I can't imagine how I'd react to such news, but it sounds as if you're handling it just as well as anyone really good. We may never have even talked before, but I have such deep emotional roots in this obscure community that I empathize with...
