Well, I was a little older than you back then, and you could say that I was "analyzing his analysis" and disagreed with some of his conclusions (I don't remember the details of course, as it has been years lol).I completely forgot about that series too! I was young and more easily impressionable so I kinda just took his word for everything, especially since back then (and maybe now? I've long since lost interest in the genre) yandere stuff was really just... not great. I also found the blog's bookmark in an old folder I haven't touched in ages! I'll admit though, it is a bit strange to be nostalgic for a long-gone yandere vn translator's blog lmao, let alone find someone else that also remembers his stuff. Keep on keeping on man.
And I would say the Yandere stuff is even rarer now that it was back then, as there was a bit of an increase in popularity for it in the early 2010s because of Mirai Nikki's popularity, but that has pretty much died down. It says something that the two games he translated, despite not being that incredible themselves, are still AFAIK two of the best Yandere games available in english. They are certainly memorable at least lol XD. I guess that is part of why we are nostalgic for it, because the guy was pretty much the only english translator that was passionate about Yandere and talking about the various Yandere games, great or bad. and the blog was certainly entertaining to read .
Oh, and The same to you friend!
