If you like chuunige and don't mind it being gay it's a good read.
>>50838376
Some of Ariake's scenes are real hot, man. And Shiodome's. And Aomi's. And Takeshiba's. And Shinbashi's. And Daiba's.And Shijyoumae.
Oosaki is a seme so it's not gay to self-insert.

I expected all the scenes to take place after the story was basically over so I could skip them, then I got to Aomi route andOosaki randomly demands to fuck him as 代償 for not taking him hostage anymoreand I'm just awkwardly watching this scene and listening to the plap, plap, plap sounds but not wanting to skip it because it seems important to the story. They really didn't need to add those sound effects.

this game's sex scene make no fucking sense
everyone is getting raped and beaten behind the scenes and then act like nothing happened the next day

>>50845481
I thought about it more maybe it's more realistic than I give it credit for being
Well this game could have been better. Crazy that it's like an hour and a half longer than the isekai one. But it feels like it says so much less, and the writing and plot is just much weaker.. Well I guess to be fair it has one more heroine than that one did to focus on, that probably is really what added to the runtime. But in the end they also don't really matter or have interesting stories the sex here was pretty gratuitous unlike then when it actually was part of the plot.
But the scenes were hot. I wish their dialogue was more varied though. The dude raping them even mentions they just say the same thing over and over all the time. Instead of pointing it out you could fix that. I guess it's in industry problem really though.
Please let me save at the branching points. or make it easier to skip dialogue

I don't know it's kinda NTR like, I'm no NTR expert though
spoilersThe other guy rapes them all to get back at the protagonist, because they like him, but the protagonist doesn't have any more than a friendly acquaintanceship with them, never even considers anything more with them, and also doesn't have the slightest clue that they're all being raped until he finds out at the very very end of the game, and then after that it's honestly just never even addressed or brought up in the epilogue. He is 100% locked in on finishing his apprenticeship, he does not care about them sexually at all.
I don't know if you can call it ntr from that or not, but since it's focused on him it does feel that way

only niijima parts are good, big focus on chuunishit, koyomi is a pigeon

I just hope it will stand out from Summer Pockets considering I'm similiar vibes but with weaker theming. If it's really good i might play it but otherwise I'll just patently wait for the rerelease with more content.
>>
>>50859085
There won't be rerelease, they already said that scenario is long enough(as long as SP RB), it's fully complete release at once.
Thematically it's more similar to Clannad with small Rewrite bits. At least trial gave such impression.

Just played 魔法少女ノ魔女裁判. Fantastic in some ways, bad in others, I thought the ending was kinda shit with an underwhelming villain, but the overall trials felt better than the typical Danganronpa faire, everyone felt smarter than the usual idiot spouting 'herp derp, ghosts did it', but tended to play things too straight (no real twists that put the trial on their head other than case 4/5). Still, I wish Ema was more than just a moeblob.This is just my own personal thought, but I thought they were heading in a different direction rather than Hiro saving everyone by through the power of suicide and despair, but diverted during the penultimate case. After all, I kept expecting Ema to die in a climactic and impactful murder/suicide/etc, but it never actually happened, she just died like a normal victim in a generic case, rather than a climax. Moreover, I think they forgot that earlier on, iirc, they stated that to summon the great witch you specifically needed a sacrifice, nothing about 13 people in particular. What happened to that anyway?
I personally thought that the witch-killing magic was something supplemental to Ema’s existing magic at the end of part one - something like Yuki’s magic that is being used through her as a puppet, rather than her actual magic, because it kinda is just a plot device that she never can really use, nor has a propensity for. Something having to do with bonds, or illusions, or something along those lines. There was a bunch of weirdness in the second half that made me think that Ema had through some manner or another remembered the other timeline along with the identity of the Great Witch (this was pretty obvious and her taboo was dug into enough by the end of the first half for her to know this). I honestly thought for several trials that SHE was the one who killed Meruru, and Mago intentionally took the fall for her during the trial (like she did near the end of the first part to save her life before, Ema also had the means, motive, and opportunity if she was conspiring with Mago), and that’s why her old allies were droppinglike flies (Mago, Koko, and Nanoka in just the first two trials). Aside from that, the second case had Ema randomly pick up a gun next to the corpse of who I thought was her ally, which seemed like obvious brainwashing to frame her and try to get her killed, along with the 3rd case which initially seemed more like a (failed) attempt to frame Ema for a fake death and, again get her killed, which made it seem like Yuki was trying to kill her. If they placed the ‘curse’ as the antagonist pushing people, no doubt Yuki could easily point them to off certain people.
I thought Ema, Mago, and Koko - the final survivors, all were working together with knowledge of the future to try to solve the situation (Meruru, the guard, and the great witch), but were being countered by Yuki. But, uh, that wasn’t the case. It kinda miffed me how irrelevant Ema was for most of the second half, Hiro was more interesting, in many ways, sure, but she kinda stole the show from the original MC, and Ema has like, no agency whatsoever for the second half and just exists as a moeblob.
There was other stuff I suspected originally that I think may have been more interesting in general. Like, looking at Ema, her roots and most of her hair is white, but the tips are purple (implying white is her natural hair color), and her eye color has similarites with Yuki’s. My thought earlier on was that Ema WAS Yuki, but quite literally gave herself schizophrenia, Ema being a mere magic-constructed personality and facade to appeal to others that gained a will of its own, with the ‘real’ personality residing inside. It’d fit with how all the magics seem to have a bit of relation to the person’s trauma, at least. Or at least, instead of just being a bystander (kinda a light sin compared to the rest of the cast, honestly), maybe it would have been better if she was the one to personally shove Yuki off the roof to protect Hiro, or if she actually did, deep down inside desire the death of humanity and had to be convinced by the usually cynical Hiro to not proverbially press that button. She just desperately needed some more to her.
Aside from that, there was all sorts of unexplained stuff that felt like it was building up to a ‘Ema actually has illusion magic’ twist for the second half, and combined with foreknowledge, prevented all the executions. Hence Noa ‘dissolving’ and Gokuchou saying that it was odd, Nanoka and her sister exploding into gore and disappearing, Sherry/Hanna's execution where they quite literally disappeared instead of becoming gore, it made me think that someone, probably Ema was pulling an illusion trick for the entire second half for all the executions. But that lead nowhere, probably because if they went that direction, only a fraction of the cast could survive, right?

i dropped it because the pacing and the prose was awful. I just did hiori route. Its a shame because the girls are cute and the premise is interesting but the story is unfolding in a pretentious and intricated way.
>inb4 "u didnt get it moebuta"
i enjoy moe as much as the next guy but i also have a degree in literature so i get it when prose is shit.
The worst part about this is that when I read the reviews on vndb everyone says that the prose is terrible but they still rate it 9 or 10/10 and say its life changing. Maybe I really missed something by dropping this vn but I feel like I wont have the sheer willpower to go through this prose again.
Also, i hated the fact that tooya and asahi didnt have any route

I know, right? Cause I agree with them.
Except I also think the prose is good. I really do think it's well written, for the style the author goes for.
I won't deny it could be trimmed a bit, but overall it's one of those VNs that just leaves you in awe.
>>
>>50862631
its not even just the prose, i dont get how people like the *plot*. it's so melodramatic and there are so many points in the story where it feels like the author wants you to cry to a scene or flashback, i couldn't get all the reviews that were like "this game destroyed me :(". the convoluted plot, the meandering prose, and the length of the game (holy shit was the true route long, there were like three points i thought the game would end and it just kept on going) gave the vibe of the whole thing feeling like a fever dream which was the only way i could enjoy the game.
>>
>>50862631
>Maybe I really missed something by dropping this vn but I feel like I wont have the sheer willpower to go through this prose again.
I forced myself through it but nothing in the true end landed because I was just tired of it by then. Not doing that again.
>>
>>
>>50862650
its definitely an oneiric piece of work so it would make sense to read it as a fever dream. It wouldnt even be a bad thing if the game wasnt always trying to show you that it actually makes sense. Its so opaque that, in the end, it cant tell its story properly. What a shame man.
>>50862650
i just cant force myself like this, i'd rather hop on something i actually like but sometimes i get fomo from this vn

The art and the music work together to produce a dreamy atmosphere. The text had, at times, an almost hypnotic effect on me, really pulling me in.
The visual depiction of the Night along with the music made me feel almost like I'm witnessing somewhat sacred.
Which is what I presume the author was going for.
But being objective, if the game didn't work so well on me, I can see myself saying these things >>50862647
The plot certainly does get convoluted at the end.

Any QoL things you use when reading VNs?
The biggest gamechanger for me was Lossless Scaling (set to Anime4K scaling type). Makes VNs so much crisper fullscreen.
And I add them as non-steam games to set up controller support, because using a controller is more comfy.
