If Kenji were everything he believed himself to be, he would be not entirely dissimilar to your Jigoro.

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20201116 LOL Quartet)

This feels like a 4-part lecture in how to do "lolrandom" right. "lawl", written by the inimitable A22, has a general silliness, but remains consistent in thematic imagery and more closely resembles an overly tortured metaphor. "That's Totally Cheating" is a slight step...

Re: A Chiasmus Through the Night – A Late, Late, S9 for Craftyatom.

As always, your prose is lovely. But what bothered me was more structural. Specifically, we don't get much of anything about present-day Hisao, or the nature of his relationship with his chosen girl. Nothing about how they got together, the trials they faced, anything. All we get is allusions to His...

7:00? I know that holiday fantasies are a common element, but the idea that the kids would let him sleep in that late is pretty far-fetched.

Re: Adding an activation

Slow in getting to this. Best I can tell, it looks like the "Misha route" is the same as the one posted to a certain mod database. It splices my Act 1 fork (the first entry/chapter in the route) onto DrSciencePhd's Misha route. When it first went up/I first heard of it, it didn't credit me...

Re: Question About Hanako's Route

Another interesting point to note: You are seeing Lilly off at the gates of Yamaku. Yet Hanako is wearing her casual outfit. Up to that point, the only other time you saw her in her casual outfit was the trip to the Jazz club. A small detail, to be sure, but it pretty strongly implies that she had n...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (20200824 Zade Wither)

In all honesty, for as many issues as the main character has, this generally manages to avoid *most* of the pitfalls. I mean, set aside the edgy name, the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" rationale for going to Yamaku, and the cool idea for his eye socket (I'm gonna bet it was a trained pet worm)...

Well, it has certainly been a year. If you've been paying close attention tot he news, you may have picked up hints of things that have kept me away from being more active here. Seeing as we're almost past the point where I can use the "Christmas in July!" excuse, I should follow through o...

Re: Slow Recovery

I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong area, but here you go:

In order to get "Slow Recovery" in the library, you need to be in a situation where you're on both Shizune's Path and Emi's. You'll know you're there when faced with two new decision points.

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (Updated 11/1/19)

Well, I am legitimately grateful for the thought behind this gesture, I must admit to some degree of concern as to the intent of this review. It reads as a blurb in an overall collection of mini-reviews, like a curated fanfiction list. Insofar as that was the intent, it is serviceable. However, as a...

Even worse, they're both post bad end and could more or less be the same timeline. And entirely unintentional, I assure you.

So, MoashLannister asked me to post this on his behalf. I'm not exactly certain why, but I guess that's his business. I'll get around to paying my own comments on the stories so far at some point in the future, but it's not my turn in the spotlight, so without further ado... Victim: monkeywitha6pac...

Re: For Want of a Nail - Misha Route (Updated 7/26/19)

I wake up to find myself face to face with Misha, who is still asleep, wearing a look of peace and contentment. While we were asleep, she seems to have wrapped her arms and legs around me, holding me close. It almost makes me want to forget all the pain of the past couple days. … Why not? It's what ...
