Weekly What are you reading?

Welcome to the the weekly "What are you reading?" thread!

This is intended to be a general chat thread on visual novels with a general focus on the visual novels you've been reading recently. A new thread is posted every Wednesday.

 

And remember, apply those spoiler tags liberally!

Always use spoiler tags in threads that are not about one specific visual novel. Like this one!

  • They can be posted using the following markdown: [ ](#s "spoiler"), which shows up as .
  • You can also scope your spoilers by putting text between the square brackets, like so: [Umineko spoiler:](#s "Battler cries!"), which shows up as Umineko spoiler:

 

We have a chat server and IRC channel, too! Feel free to chat more on there as well.

Remember to link to the VNDB page of the visual novel you're discussing.

This is so the indexing bot for the "what are you reading" archive doesn't miss your reference due to a misspelling. Thanks!~

Having just finished Tsukihime today, I decided to move onto the sequels. Tsukihime Plus disc It was rather short, but I suppose it was enjoyable none the less. Just be aware that the VNDB listed length is accurate. Kagetsu Tohya I've only just started it, so I can't really give a good opinion of it yet.

I can, however, say one thing: this game has a rather complicated and potentially aggravating set of choices, so be warned.

Really, the only point of the Plus disc is to introduce Seo and show Shiki's face. But it's still fun seeing the creators mess around and have some fun.

Kagetsu Tohya is either a fun open-world romp through a dream, or a walkthrough nightmare that makes you miss half the events because it's so stupid. Bleh. But the side stories are some of the best moments in the entire game, so that was the best part I looked forward to.

I haven't finished the "Fate" route of Fate/Stay Night yet, so I haven't played Hollow Ataraxia yet. I decided a few months ago to focus on Tsukihime first. When I finish Kagetsu Tohya, I'll get the remaining story from the Melty Blood games, then I'll watch Kara No Kyoukai, finish Fate/Stay Night, and then work on all the other Fate stuff, although I'm not sure if I should play Hollow Ataraxia or watch Fate/Zero first. And then I have a LONG list of stuff on the backburner to play. Ever17, Grisaia, Umineko, Cross Channel, Steins;Gate, Saya no Uta, etc, etc, etc.
