The Nekoko route was the only memorable one, and it was only memorable because it followed The Nakige Template™ to the letter. That is - lovers meet, lovers get into zany antics together, lovers are separated, lovers are reunited tearfully.

The whole game was nauseously formulaic and full of cliches, actually. Big-titted smartass class representative, timid and fragile bullying victim, relatable peer character.

Both are about equal. Hoshimemo might be better just because there's more subplots going on.

Plus, the scene where he loses her name and the music to it is one of the best scenes I've seen executed in any VN.

I only really liked Catgirl and Suicide girl routes, and even then, Nekoko's route was just far superior to everything else in the game.

Meanwhile, there were quite a few enjoyable routes in Hoshimemo.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day that would /jp/ discuss babby's first VN in earnest.

Class prez is the best route. Aya is the best girl.
I wanted to like Nekoko, because I identify with her, but she didn't have enough personality, and "lol I built an amusement park" is a shit ending.
Aeka the worst. Boring girl who whores herself out to you, just because you're the only one that's even a little bit nice to her. If she actually cared about you, she wouldn't have tried to commit suicide.
Choke a bitch was probably my favorite scene, though.

Now, none of this is really relevant. The real question that any true /jp/easy would ask: Where the fuck is the Hirofumi route?

Quality is subjective. Naturally, if you like something, and you judge it as good, then it's no problem. You're free to have an opinion. But judging a VN by other factors that go beyond the "fun factor" is pretty interesting too.

Yeah, I do agree with you about the OST being real nice, but I'd have to differ in opinions regarding the second half of your statement.

I guess it's just that sort of generic feeling most of the songs have that most people wish they had going on in the background of their lives.
But I feel a lot of songs are much more than ambient effect and can have a much greater effect on the mood and tone of the scene/game.
Take
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei8gUqapY
My favorite song from YMK, but I have like a third of the soundtrack on my sleeping music playlist.
Or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP-2PwmXA
Which sets the whole mood for the whole VN just from that one song.
Or to finish it off
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkvQte7Jw
Which hits me harder than most songs I've listened to.
Whenever I hear it, it just "shuts me down" and I focus on it 100%
I guess VN music is a lot more memorable to me than anime soundtracks but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes.
