Attention please. This is me saying that I am done (for now). I am going on a long break from this game. Sorry, I just can't do it. Everything felt so pointless and from this point: Yumi showed up next to Ayane and past Maya right before the rooftop reset, I enabled skip unseen and just rushed through everything. So I have no read everything but I've seen things in fast forward. This was a decision I made to force demotivate myself not to keep going. Perhaps one day I will return, but for now, I have a minor headache, I want to play a couple different games, I want to sleep and I want get my mind off everything.
I could elaborate on my decision through specific questions but right now, I just want to be done with this. So from the point I mention within the spoiler that I enabled unseen text, feel free to tell me anything negative that happens after. Spare no details. Or just... don't say anything at all. It's not like I will be back any time soon and I will probably have reset to a point where I won't care for a while. I don't know, this is all zero effort rambling at this point but as I said, I don't want to be here right now.

Since the chapter isn't done yet, I can't really post the completed data yet, or more like I won't. But rest assured that this game made me write like 600-700k characters worth of text which is like 10 times my previous best on a large game.

Day 73(Finale?) Character count 13740.

So yeah. Goodbye I guess. Will still be replying to things after this post for a while once I cleared my head for some hours.

And if you asked me today if I regret playing this game, I would tell you I would rather jump off a skyscraper than play this. Fuck this abomination of a trauma fest. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

You will probably see me post in Eternum's forum next and some other games.

And please. Don't subject other players to this if they go out of their way to ask the community before they get started about specific traumatizing things. For example, I asked if characters die in the game inducing trauma on you, I got a vague answer that wasn't satisfactory at all. You can laugh all you want at my weakness, but yeah. I've never been emotionally hurt so many times and actually wholeheartedly regretted the experience despite having what I refer to as "an iron stomach".

It's a rare game. In a sense that mc (and quite a lot of characters) are bad, I mean not ideal. And it's quite healing to watch them going through their not-ideal decisions, mistakes. Of course their f*ck-ups and, even more, reactions on those f*ck-ups (yes, it's by the specific rules of the game world, but nevertheless) are very much muffled, but it's still a game, some sort of vax or paddling pool for IRL (psychologically this time), not a real life itself.
That and surprisingly good English per 1000 words (or out of 10, I dunno them measurements) is what've bought me.

Yup, rip bozo.
#FuckNodoka anyway.

I also find it interesting that Sekai isn't that bothered, just a little surprised.
Oh boy people aren't gonna like that. After that people are going to be reminded that if you want to sex a certain character you secretly want to sex Sel also. Especially Rin and Maya since he said they are most like himself.
I would.
Wine and dine the MFer so I can whisper about Clown Yumi in his ear.

I'll take one for the team.

Just in case it may matter to you, Nodoka may not have "truly" died.

Spoilers -> Nodoka later seems to show up to let Sensei know she's okay in her own way:

Playing this game was a mistake and I'm holding everyone responsible who didn't have the heart to warn me on day one when I asked very specific questions.

Okay, I'm not going to make fun of you but I am going to call you out for blaming everyone for not literally spoiling the game for you on day one when no one could have known how this game was going to affect you, especially when you went on a rant about having a much smaller detail like Akira's name spoiled for you. If you knew that the game could potentially affect you this badly, then why take the chance of starting it? And if you didn't know, then how would anyone else on this forum? Just remind yourself that nothing you read is real, move on to a more pleasant game, and think carefully about whether you want to risk coming back to it.

I very rarely read here so I might not have the whole picture, but it's funny to me regardless.
>how dare you spoil me on character name
>later on then complains about people not spoiling him on something more important than a name
>quits the game over it
Like I get maybe being annoyed about being spoiled on his name since that scene with the reveal was and still is one of my favorites in general (the events in that time frame were great overall), but complaining later about even bigger things not being told to you after having gotten mad about a name being spoiled just makes me giggle.

Does anyone know how to reduce brightness of flash screen? after playing last night my eyes were extremely sore. isit possible to manually adjust the visibility of the white flash screen in game folder? especially for those ultra-long continuous flashes lasting more than ten seconds? For people with nearsightedness, it feels like a critical hit.

It's just a game dude... like, it has some powerful moments, but it's still just a bit of fiction... you should probably stick to harem fuckfests with staunchly anti-NTR devs for a while... no bad, all good fuck yes times, much joy....

Bro what, you lost your marbles with the Akira stuff and now you're telling us you'd want this kind of thing spoiled? Make up your mind!

If you are gonna come at my over my eccentric behavior, at least know what started it all. I've been posting almost daily for 73 days now and it all started with me asking and pleading for very specific spoilers to confirm if I'm going to be heavily hurt by the game. At the end of it, I was convinced to try it. Had I gotten serious answers, I would not be here.

Nothing feels right anymore. Playing this game was a mistake and I'm holding everyone responsible who didn't have the heart to warn me on day one when I asked very specific questions. One of them being if a character dies and I got really vague answers. So if Nodoka didn't fucking die there, then I don't know what counts as death in the first place. And if Maya didn't technically die, then what? You can't just dance around the idea of death when it very clearly IS death and it WILL affect you over a long period of time.
You've skipped through it so you should already know that in the next update Nodoka is back. Things get reset when resets happen, which is why shit can go down at reset time. We've seen Makoto try to kill herself, we've seen tons of Maya being hanged and crucified during happy events. Even Ami was basically crucified and flayed during the CH3 reset, and there's a chance that's why her personality's different.

So is your problem seeing murder? Seeing dead bodies? or the lasting death of a character? The last one hasn't happened yet, and realistically cannot happen. It's also what you asked about in my opinion.
Even if the dark route changes the rules of engagement and characters dying during that time stay dead (Like I imagine Makoto would be the first to try to kill herself in front of the others to prove you can't die, except it just happens this time, maybe a moment of her realising her mistake before she bleeds out), the mechanisms to bring them back after they do what they need to do during dark route exists. They can just reset people back to life.

The closest thing to a lasting death in the game is Maya's reset but even the game at this point has given lots of little hints that she's probably not entirely lost. And with the other points that the game is building up to with her, Prime is probably coming back before the ending of the game (like I wouldn't be surprised if CH4's ending is Maya Prime's return, the game still needs time to expand upon the history they shared when Maya was being tutored, and explaining why there's a ton of hints pointing at the fact Maya might not be real. Her purity routes / true ending being used to explain all of that would be a shit time I think.)

You had the power to warn me, you wanted me to suffer instead. Are you happy with yourself?
In the end, kinda yeah, for both questions. This VN can actually make you feel things other than horny or angry, and that's a serious achievement.
Like that Maya scene that never really got you. It's because you didn't notice Maya coming out of her shell before it, that entire chain is her wanting to spend time with the person she loves while being afraid of the fact that if she says she loves him he's gonna be deleted again. It already took her thousands of years to find him, even if she was prepared to do it again.

The next update is the christmas chain, and that ends with the two finally talking to each other, and even that brings up the happy moments they've shared which shows the fireworks and her eating the melon during the festival. There's even a convoluted theory that during 0.47 we get a moment of Prime saying "I love you" to Sensei. I imagine you didn't see Io's events either since I believe that's hidden behind Sana's invites and you probably gave up after the text skips stopped showing events.

Of course if we have to signal upcoming trauma in 0.47, Chika gets tricked into an orgy for 10 years or something with the Great Pareidolia Mall's denizens. Jury's still out on whether it was a physical event or just mental trauma and that's after her eating Rin out after Rin committed to moving on from Chika so she can't decide whether she's happy about it (and if you know about consent, it has to be enthusiastic)

0.46 just has a moment of emasculation for Sensei. Kirin is the one who gets traumatized if anything. Imani gets disrespected.

I'm pretty sure we got a narrator Tsubasa appearance in 0.47, and for the second time she showed an unusual amount of interest in Rin, even speaking to her directly. This got me wondering if there is a link between Rin and actual Tsubasa.

Here's a speculative idea: one of Rin's moms (probably Rika) was friends with Tsubasa in their youth. In fact, I found a hint of this that's been in the game for a while: one of the very few pieces of information that we've been given about Tsubasa's friend(s) matches something we know about Rin's mom(s).

Preemptive warning: anyone who disagrees with this post lacks the mental capabilities of a 10 year old. And is Bingoogus's alt. And also his boyfriend. And also Selebus's alt trying to gaslight me. Basically I'm saying there's no other possible explanation for these clues.

Ima be honest, this whole time I haven't even considered that other characters could have been narrating other than Sensei or one of his personalities, but after seeing your post I feel like I have the mental capabilities of a 10 year old. Because damn, it seems so obvious now that this is Tsubasa haha

Also somewhat intimidated now that my eyes have been opened and I'm gonna be overwhelmed trying to figure out who's narrating every given scene from now on.

I'm gonna have to really pay attention on my 2nd playthrough

Also, I forget what we know about Rie. Did she go to a prestigious school as well and come from a wealthy background, or am I thinking of Wakana?

When you first started posting, the scene that upset you so much hadn’t been released. So there wasn’t anything for anyone to tell you.

That's also a great point. Feels like we've gone from a full stall from the start of the chapter to a full speed hype train. Something about the writing since Christmas has momentum to it that's got me hyped even if the events in 0.47 weren't necessarily that ground breaking. Shit's happening.
