Back then, I relied mostly on guides to get to the endings that I wanted and collect the CGs. But recently, I want to go play blind on my first playthrough. It gives me the sort of self-insert experience of the game until I reach a certain ending. It's mostly a normal ending most of the time, though. But it gives me a sort of satisfaction to finish a route on my own. After that, I'd go for guides to complete all the endings. lol
