I didn't even understand why Sousuke asked about the color cuz I was thinking "duh it's red, it's the red string of fate." And then I realized Sousuke never said the color, he just said string but come on, WHAT OTHER COLOR WOULD IT BE, what he described was literally the well-known red string of fate. I mean it's not called the BLUE string of fate!

I feel like I may have vaguely read this before when I was younger. And now that I'm older, I don't find the same stuff as interesting anymore. So honestly, to me, this story was just overly dramatic. Like literally, Fujisawa being all "I'm burying a corpse." And the characters talking in such a halting manner with lots of ellipses. Like is this a soap opera? Moment he said he's burying a corpse or being a gravekeeper or whatever I'm like ya okay dude, what kinda ridic thing are u actually burying and ur calling it a "heart?" When it's finally revealed, then sure it's got meaning to it. But all that build up for all those chapters and the characters being all vague and all "a corpseee a murderrrerrrr a GRAVE" like can you guys MAYBE chill out a little? Like yes, I understand death weighs upon people. But people don't magically start waxing poetic all the time after it happens like bruh. "THIS HOUSE IS A GRAVE AND I'M THE GRAVEKEEPER AND I SPEND ALL MY NIGHTS BURYING A HEART AND CORPSE CUZ IM A SINNNNERRRR." Talk like a human please. Like the story just sounds like it's tryna be mysterious and profound but it's like obvious writer's trying too hard. Honestly, I read through this all with "can we get to the point please." And MC being classic "I'm molested but...why can't I runnn?? He looks so lonelyyyyy" Idk how he really made any kinda change to Fujisawa, maybe he's just a touch less sensitive than Makoto or something idk even.
Anyway, like I said, my tastes are different since I got older so who knows. I'm just not into melodrama.

Man this entire time I'm one edge cuz I'm like is Tani gonna try something with Towada? Cuz u know, in so many of these stories eventually seme can't help it and ends up kissing them in their sleep or whatever. But NO! My man Tani knows the meaning of the word RESPECT! And never, ever crosses boundaries! He only has sex when Towada initiates, and even then makes sure Towada's okay with it. When Towada asks for it after he collapses, he holds himself back and assures Towada they have all the time in the world to do it and that he should focus on recovering. He genuinely cares for Towada, and even while knowing he was initially attracted by the pretty face, he knows Towada's more than just that. Even when Towada's snippy towards him when he was feeling sick in the bathroom, Tani doesn't go overboard and gives him space, which resulted in that handhold. For real, Tani is a good man. We need more men like Tani.

Ok the Kakeru and Hiroto story was cute but like did they haaaave to be brothers? Guess they had to tie up the loose ends with Kakeru's mom asking to see Hiroto's dad and then have those two polar opposites get together. I'd rather mangaka-san picked one option rather than both, honestly.
Also regarding Kei, I honestly don't think Kei's even really 100% straight. Kei had no second thoughts or reservations about getting with a guy. He's so damn open about everything, from using anal sex toys, having sex with a guy, to falling in love with Shoichi. In the end he says he sees his relationship as falling in love with Shoichi rather than falling in love with a guy so he probably has no real preference at all. Either he's straight and Shoichi's his one exception, or he's interested in people, regardless of gender or sex. Too bad he gets labeled as straight anyway by Shoichi, or gay just for being with Shoichi.
But I also can't blame Shoichi's reservations in getting with Kei since like. Dude was bein too rude in the beginning lolll

Man this was just something. It kinda makes sense in my eyes that both of them had misunderstandings about their initial relationship. Itonaga thinking Sanada was pitying dating him to atone for bullying him for presumably being gay, while Sanada thinks Itonaga's going along with it cuz he's afraid to say no. Like the fact that they both entered the relationship elated but lowkey suspicious about it seemed realistic to me, I guess? Sanada knew he was a horrible person back then and expected Itonaga to still hate him inside. Itonaga was insecure for the same reason. And even after they cleared up their misunderstandings, they're still quick to jump to the wrong conclusion because of that insecurity. And honestly, Sanada does really suspicious things like come on, Itonaga's a pure boi and you had to randomly drag in sex toys into this? Blindfold him so you don't have to see his potential hatred for you? All this while still thinking he hates you? Like bro, how about you treat him gently and kindly and make sure you're on the same page, and THEN bring in your kinks lolll
And ngl, when they flashbacked to Sanada's thoughts in his middle school days showing how he bullied Itonaga cuz he didn't want to accept he was in love with him and then show his happiness over hearing Itonaga transferred... I honestly was like "wat a piece of shit." Like normally you'd see the character be all "D: omg I caused him to transfer damn that was bad of me." he's just like :D that freakin smile. I'm like oooookay then. Well, just goes to cement his internalized homophobia and he does feel bad about thinking that at least.
Honestly that Kuon bit felt like another otome game I played kinda? Where you unlock a 5th guy and he was MC's boyfriend or something but she kept dying or whatever and he kept tryna save her in other worlds she kept ending up in. Something like that. Anyway now that Kuon says Kobayashi looks like Eve, she does actually have a vague resemblance to Finne. Finne also remembers seeing Bard die too, so something is up there. What if Kobayashi has such an infinity for the game cuz she somehow is the real life version of Finne? Lol RIP Endo x Kobayashi, hello Kuon x Kobayashi. Jk. Also someone commented somewhere else that Endo might be the real life version of Bard. I see the resemblance there too sooo maybe there really is some kinda love triangle there... ?
But I also think what happened was that Kuon was supposed to be able to play the game and communicate with Finne. But somehow, with Kobayashi and Endo playing together, instead THEY became "God" and they communicate with Sieg instead. Since Kuon was probably the guy earlier on who was trying to play and gong "dammit it's still just a game"
Also, if the story does actually go yuri route with Liselotte and Finne, I'mma laugh, while still feeling a little bad for Sieg. His reactions to the yuri bits get me so hard.
the game you played was probably amnesia, it was also turned into an anime that’s how i know it lol
It was but I didnt wanna say cuz that was spoilery but here we are. lolll
By any chance.. are you referring to Amnesia: Memories? I can see the resemblance to Kuon. But in this case he’s not trying to kill the heroine like who I presume you are referring to, Ukyo. .°(ಗдಗ。)°.
I was referring to Amnesia, yes. And well Ukyo's a weird soul, both does and doesn't want to kill her. I thought ultimately he wanted to go back to his original world with the heroine but her dying was the only way for him to survive. Well anyway that doesn't really matter, point is the whole "going back to original world" but made me think of him to begin with lol
Lmfao yes I’m aware. I played the whole game due to my infatuation with how complex Ukyo was as a character. I had only phrased it that way to put into simpler terms. But yea, Ukyo and Kuon quite similar haha ( ・∇・)
Oh okay lol I thought I was missing something cuz it's been a while since I played so I got confused for a sec lolll
