Re-reading KS after many other VNs

[Nobody in Particular]

Lets get back on track

The things about a great VN is that when you re-read it, you could pick up all of the tiny hints of what is going to happen later on that you miss during the first run through of it. Then you feel stupid for not seeing what is going to happen on the first run. If anything Lily's cinematic is a great example

You also get this with Rin's and Shizune's cinematics but they are a lot more subtle, Rin's one especially.

In fact, I think Shizune's is even more misleading. I first thought Misha was in love with Hisao too, I was surprised when I found I was wrong.

I'd rather people at least consider my point about later experiences with a genre having things that are more specific to the tastes that they are uncovering for themselves, and finding that their earlier experiences only had more general versions of those elements and a such feel like a letdown to return to.

Reposting this, since it's actually relevant, it probably got lost in the FPS boondoggle, and is kind of an important attitude to have when you consume lots of media.
