Jesus Christ, I don't think KS is the the best goddamn VN ever, but this review is just fucking ridiculous.
For an example of better x, try out y
Stop that. Also, expecting a VN made by amateurs to be fully-voiced? I'm sure if it was, the guy would still hate on it because the voices would probably be bad. Absolutely terrible review, 1/10.

A review of a review ! Reviewception !

On-topic, a review is just one's opinion. Thus, we can't butthurt just because one person said "Oh this and this and that is crap ! 1/10.5" (Pardon my english, it's not my native language)

We can get mad when the review is factually wrong and obviously someone just being a cheap troll. There is such a thing as reviewer integrity and standards.

Why half of people in this thread thinks "troll" means "person that have opinion that I do not like"?

Enlighten me then. I always had problem with English grammar. (no sarcasm here)

Overgeneralization, maybe. Strawman? Nope. I see at least few people here that throws "troll" word as if it mean what I said earlier. It is very easy to see.

I can't speak for everyone but the reason i'm crying "Troll" is because there are some factual inaccuracies and gross mischaracterizations in the review that leave me with the honest opinion the writer didn't actually complete the novel. I used to write reviews and i take this shit very seriously. I honestly don't care if he hates it, i expect him to give any item he's reviewing the consideration and factual reporting it deserves.
And yes, i do treat fellow fans, or at least people who use the term "Hanabro" with the same amount of strictness. I'm kind of an asshole, but i have my moments of intelligence to excuse some of my behavior.

Well, IMHO writing shitty review and being incredibly lazy with it is not sign of troll, but of useless reviewer. I can see it as trolling only if it was written deliberately in that way, not due to incompetence.

The problem - if you want to see it as such - is that there is no consensus whether the author was merely incompetent or actively trolling. I for one am willing to give her the benefit of doubt.
I think Trolls don't usually put even that much effort into their pranks, and since we won't ever know her true intentions there's probably not much point in continuing this discussion.
Continuing would probably lead to a locked thread pretty soon anyway.

I'm not sure, but i think that is exactly what Pyramid Head meant. Personally i don't think you were a troll at all, but the review was certainly of a very questionable quality.
