Oh my God, same for both... I've been listening to the Kichiku Megane OP for so long and even then the game hasn't moved an inch from my bucket list :deadsad: I need to up my reading game. If only I had more time... Most of my favorite songs have been already posted here, I guess I'll add...

Bad endings take priority! Seeing the good ending feels more satisfying to me after I see everything go wrong beforehand. Also, since routes leading up to the good ending are often a bit longer, I guess it makes more sense to me to finish the shorter bits first.

Thanks <3 1) You put me at ease when it comes to the BaraKi port. I'll stray off the topic a little, but I do know plenty of VNs that could really use a censored version (in my opinion), as the hentai feels shoehorned into the game just to make it sell better. Granted, what I have in mind while...

Thank you for the very detailed reply. Don't worry about setting up overly high expectations or anything, I'm going to have fun either way. About the story and content changes in BaraKi: so they just decided to ax the other kind of route altogether? It might be for the best since I don't know...

I guess the main reason I didn't go for Norizane yet is that I kind of find him a little... boring? It's just not my favorite type of character, to say the least. I hope the pairing you suggested will change my view of him a little. It sounds fun based on how different the two are alone, and now...

So would you say it's worth playing the port as well? I'm afraid completing the original game might still take a while, but if you think it's different enough, then I might really consider doing so later down the line. But I also have one more worry, that is that they had to rewrite huge chunks...

I've been sleeping on Norizane for now so this is great to know, I appreciate this little bit of insight too! Don't be afraid to reply to people, it's what forums are about.

I'm normally not a fan of younger LIs but I guess Rin from Togainu no Chi counts as one? Okay, I guess he looks much more like a teenager than a shota, but screw me if his route isn't the sole redeeming factor about the whole game. While younger characters are not my favorite, having an LI like...

So about controversial elements... If you mean non-con/dub-con, it's practically half of the game. Of course you can just only play the "pure love" routes, but I thought it would be nice to let you know if that's not your cup of tea.

So unfortunately my progress slowed down a lot because I'm busy IRL and I haven't seen it all yet either. For now, I can say that my favorite is Mitsunobu, he does eventually get nicer to Kaname and they have great chemistry then. Give him a chance, maybe even if you hate him. As far as side...

So strictly speaking, neither I guess? I usually don't follow the recommended order, but I also don't gun for my favorite. I try to start with something that could be fun, later get through routes that don't interest me and leave the most intriguing for last. I like seeing how my initial...

Absolutely, while I wouldn't say that an LI's hairstyle decides his charm, I just can't deny that long hair looks gorgeous on people 😭 Doesn't matter if he's androgynous like Liwen (Fanatica) or masculine like Liu Jien (Omerta) and Rai (Lamento), without the long hair some LIs just really...

I don't have a BL equivalent of the Library of Alexandria on any hard drive (yet) but yes, nothing BL-adjacent ever ends up in the bin. The thought of losing something forever haunts me and I still have plenty of free space overall, so I simply refuse to part ways with my VNs. I don't believe...

Not very often, I only really replay my favorite routes. It's usually more tempting to read something new in my free time rather than come back to something I've already experienced once.

Absolutely, I believe that the whole point of letting a player choose is to meaningfully shape the story. It's a bummer if my choice is about to change two lines of dialogue and nothing else, it might as well not be there then. But the above is honestly just a minor inconvenience. Mixing...
