A cliché yandere with an over-the-top backgournd in KS?

First off, theres no such thing as cliched Yandere. For they have no differences to start with. Once you cast a Yandere, the focus is on how to handle and survive her

Second, what do you mean over-the-top? Are you afraid of stepping outside the safety bubble or something?

KS is so good, because it has normal - believable - characters with normal problems

I will be killed for saying this, but the reason why I never finished the game is because it lacked the real conflict and just bored me. Heres why:

In Lily's Arc, Lily was flat and predictable. She has remained pratically the same formal rich lady. And her "Healthy Adolescent Sex Drive" was nothing out of the ordinary dirty Ojou-sama characters which has already been done before and done better. Her ending also felt rushed and clitched. I have seen 2 movies which ended in that chase-the-lover kind of ending.

But what frustrated me the most about Lily is her overly submissive attitude! In school, she was so formal and her voice was dominant. But she cannot even face her parents. She left according to their will without even the smallest protest. If that is your definition of believable then I can bet you are a virgin. Her sister Akira makes a better GF.

Hanako's arc was a good one. I love her panic attacks as it revealed a good portion of how she thinks. But her good ending stinks. The writer relied too much on the backstory which left the character abandoned.
Her bad ending was the best part as it showed how strong she truly was. And how desperate she is in proving her worth to the world. But the writer thought of stopping there. Thank god for Fanfiction though

I am currently playing Rin for I heard that she is a pilosopher then I plan on stopping. I doubt that Emi and Shizune will provide some heart warming story

If you'd read the FAQ you'd know this.

This thread in general, however, is complete batshit and all you're doing is bashing the game and telling the developers how to make a better prequel/sequel/whatever which they're not even going to do, rendering this entire thread completely unnecessary.

It's believable if you know a thing or two about Japanese culture. Lilly's family is apparantly fairly traditional and throughout her middle school Lilly was "groomed" as a traditional Japanese young woman. Traditional Japanese values place a strong emphasis on (among other things) utter loyalty to the authority figures of the groups one belongs to. (either bosses or family patriarchs) Most of Lilly's traits...her formality, her politeness, her tendency to try and avoid conflicts at all costs, her loyalty towards her parents, her impeccable manners...are all traditional Japanese values and a result of her upbringing. KS deconstructed the character type by having the same upbringing that resulted in the traits that attracted players to Lilly endanger her relationship with the protagonist.
