Checked out the Tonakoi fandisc. Now Tonakoi was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The common route was quite alright, the beginning of the routes weren't too bad. But they all kinda fell apart towards the later stages. Ryouka probably got away the best, Rina by FAR the worst.

So what's the fandisc doing? Pretty much continuing things in the same way as the later parts of the main game's routes were. In other words, in my opinion it sucks. It pretty much lacks the good parts the original had, with its characters no longer being very capable of playing to their strength. For example I really liked Rina in the original. I remember that. The fandisc did not really make me remember why though. That's a problem.
The fandisc also adds a new character, but that was kinda pointless. I could see the character being likable, but she isn't able to stand very well on her own. She isn't given the space. It's a weird choice to do such a thing in a fd in the first place. I do respect that the sister remained a sister though... although they could've left out the 20kb "route" of hers. But I guess I was never much of a fan of the side-stories of Tonakoi, and the fandisc did not change that. But yeah, I didn't expect her to not get any lewd stuff.

Speaking of lewd, that was also messed up. The game has the "same" amount of scenes like the original, just less CG for that. (4-5 instead of 6 for 3 scenes) While that'd be ok, they also had WAY WAY too much text per CG. Normally about 10kb for one CG can be considered reasonably long already. That's also how the original game did it. Here, Ryouka has 5 CG with 135 kb of text accompanying that. (Again, original -> 6cg with 60kb) Like what the fuck. As a result, the game's text is about half "ahn~", but I doubt a lot of people really care about that. I didn't care about the ero myself in the first place, but I wouldn't be surprised if people fall asleep with that kind of "variety"... or aren't using 80% of the scene anyway.



Yeah, this fandisc wasn't for me. Hope the Daito one will be better, have that one also still around.
