Looks like I'm coming in at the right time with the discussion over whether a VN can be traumatic. I'm putting this one down, probably for good. This is the darkest, most depressing thing I've ever read. I'm not even all the way through Ch.2 and I came on here and the wiki to see if things get better, and no. No they do not.

But that leads me to a question: to all of you who enjoy this, why? Genuine question, not a dig. What is it you get out of this? I'm genuinely curious as to what you DO feel reading these things. If anyone wants to weigh in, please do.

I just needed to get some thoughts out and now I'm going to go interact with the real world, which is shockingly not as dark as this VN, at least not as constantly. And that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd say.

I like dark stories. Really nothing more to it, it's enjoyable to experience well written and fucked up fiction.

Well, it just goes to show that even with the guide mod, urm, and extensive knowledge of the game, Selebus still manages to fuck up my save. Reloading here we go.

You have to view Miku's PTSD event before the reset, even though the reset occurs automatically. Fucking hell. Maybe I can find some ways to block main events and complete every side events before them, I remember being able to do so in my second run.

It's a shame she's a side character cause she's absolutely wife material.
I'm surprised she see things though, didn't expect anyone but rooftop apocalypse group to have that one.

... Pretty sure Sel said that Main Characters are the ones who go to his class ...

Please, how is this event going? I need help, I can't get out of here.

Here's a map/guide for the Amy event. This should help you narrow down which locations you're missing. I personally like to check them off as I go so I don't misremember.

I'm not that far with Maya yet but I'm assuming I'm going to have to be doing a bunch of juggling too. So far I haven't done enough Maya to know if I'm going to be forced to the end once I do her 5 affection events.

At least for the first reset, the trick was not advancing Maya's events beyond "Recall".

I loved the characters to much by the the time it got to be so bad for me, end ch3 and most of cp4. I am bummed about all the Maya stuff I have mentioned before and after ch3 I was very sad for awhile. I don't think it affected me much outside my own personal bubble but you can definitely argue I shouldn't care so much. When reading the Wheel of Time, I was also very stressed the time Elayne was almost raped. This is just how I get whenever I start to love the characters like this. Most cases are gone as soon as I get another good story going but this one sure has held me for I think two years now. I have considered quitting but I am still holding out hope the girls can get a happy ending.
