So, yeah. Just finished clearing Yume miru kusuri, and i'm in need of more visual novels.
Since /jp/ is the authority on that field, can anyone illuminate me?
Heard good things about Ever17, so i might be trying that one. Thoughts?

Also, general VN thread

You should play something "lighter" than Ever17 since you seem to be rather new to VNs.

If you don't like it you don't like it. The drama happens in the kirari route after you come home from the giant concert. What happened honestly blindsided me and made me more sad then kana: imouto.
It makes the true route really heartwarming too.

Chie's route is good too, because you have brotastic adventures.

Sarina's is pretty bad and generic and has an abrupt ending.

I liked all the characterization in the common route, it made me really love the characters.

I made one of the 3 (that I noticed) threads that got maxed. It really was only a couple people discussing it amongst themselves, I don't think that many people have read it.

Well, most people that come from /v/ play YMK or F/SN first and then come here for suggestions.

Exactly. That's why I'm saying the game was bad because of that. If you feel nothing for the characters, the endings don't matter, you don't give a fuck. That's why I only liked it for the setting, not for the actual story. And that's why I think pretty lowly of Saya no Uta.

>> No.4921302

>>4921287
I didn't enjoy both. But I think they're pretty similar. Probably only because of the horror aspect, even though it's not all too prominent in Chaos;Head. I made a thread for Chaos;Head asking whether it was worth continuing with, and a lot of people said first half is good, second half is shit. What the fuck is with that, why do people dislike the second half of Chaos;Head, I'm curious. It was my favourite part personally.

>> No.4921304

It's been translated for awhile so the hype has died down somewhat, but a lot of people who played it back then still hold it in high regard (possibly too high due to nostalgia).

Probably because of the slow story telling pace in the second half. Also sometimes Takumi would act too pathetic even for a socially withdrawn otaku.

Please get out now. Sheep behavior is not tolerated here. Have some spine and insult/criticize the games/eroge if you think it is shit. I myself love Planetarian but I can see the reasons why some of you might not enjoy it as much as I do.

>> No.4921333

If you're looking for something similar to YMK, then I strongly suggest Crescendo and Symphonic Rain.

Now, as for VNs with similar settings which I recommend you stay away from, there's Cross Channel, Sharin no Kuni and Clannad. They're all plagued by too much stupid humor and shitastic pacing. However, if you do enjoy unnecessarily high amounts of inappropriately placed slapstick and pervert humor and think you can tolerate shitty pacing and 1 hour flashbacks, then go ahead and try them.

I agree with some aspects of what you're saying, mainly the inappropriate slapstick and 'shittastic' pacing at times but imo they're outweighed heavily by the quality of the overall story.
