Higurashi Console Arcs Part 1

Over a year has passed it's about time I get into console arcs, I really dislike the ending how are answers rated higher than questions, spoilers it feels so out of place that in Matsuribayashi they're all suddenly like power of friendship wins and they do all sort of mental gymnastics and come up with insane shit just so it makes sense together somehow and makes them win, it's unrealistic, unsatisfactory and really boring.

I pray to god it won't be as bad as whatever the fuck hou+ was, answer arc isn't that bad as a whole but everything that comes after it is even worse, hou+ was genuienly horrible half the time the other half was just meh

Finished Taraimawashi, took me a bit longer than I expected (2 hours) and what even was the point of that, out of context, just two sub chapters of one chapter mashed together without making any sense just to do an alternate ending, who is it for, I think I remember hearing someone say console arcs are just as good as the original 8 whoever said that needs their head checked. I just hope the longer chapters are going to do something interesting and by itneresting I don't mean shit that doesn't make any sense. 

I always thought if something has this high of a rating it must be that good and was worried my rankings are going to be full of those critically aclaimed only widely liked stuff, wrong. 

On a positive note I've recently aquired a very cool Rena figure (not my picture, might take some later I don't feel like moving it and taking pictures). I really shouldn't have read anything past chapter 7. I feel like Rei and Hou especially have messed with my perception of the series and I can't think of it as highly as I wish I could. someone needs to kill higurashi before it gets even worse and becomes unreadable (too late)

Tsukiotoshi 

I feel like I'm physically unable to have fun with higurashi after Matsuribayashi, how can I be interested in mysteries that I already have a shit answer to, better to read these before ch 8 R07 broke me (not in the cool utsuge way) 

Change of plans I had to break myself the cool utsuge way 

Expected to be disappointed because it's short and old and probably doesn't hold up as good as people remember but was great, need more utsuge in my life, now I feel like reading something like this even more, kinomasa sometime sooner than later, I am going to continue higuslop now, I want to finish at least 2 more arcs before I get into anything else 

Homoge hour

 It's been a few years and I'm the exact same person, still fixated on N+C and still the biggest Kanako Itou fan, not sure how this is going to work out but I'd like to post more about media I consume, mainly probably VNs but we'll see (this is probably the only post and I'll come back in another two years or later). I don't expect anyone to find this blog so it's more for me to document my thoughts on things.

Today Yesterday (just noticed it's past midnight) I finished lamento, finally, after months and months of putting it off, I'm also over the treasure disc and am currently struggling throught chiralmori

(this is how I look like playing lamento)

Togainu Poker was such a fucking chore, I hate poker, don't ever make me play it again, the amount of times you have to beat someone is insane and after you finally manage to beat their ass after the 5th try you get to enjoy 2 entire lines of dialogue, thanks character interaction was fun but never again
I have yet to play kuim, idk how this blogpost is going to look like I'm probably going to write about it in a few hours below because why shouldn't this be incomprehensible. 

Lamento typing  Nyanda is way more fun, for one typing is cooler than poker and they at least attempt to come up with a plot for it. The gameplay is still a bitch who in their right mind made it so you have to type x in front of ゃょゅぁ（all small) an so on instead of how you'd type the entire word like a normal human being but I can forgive them because those idiot cats are funny.

I'm going to try to finish it now and pray kuims isn't shit and has substance to it.

fuck that shit, poker was better I could at least try over and over again and wish for luck, this is so fucked I hope they fired anyone who pitched this idea of lamento tetris I hope they're dead and the story's not that interesting dissappointed still a cool addition I guess, would've been better if tetris didn't stress me out honestly I think I would've appreciated it more if I played it much after finishing the original game 

More thoughts about the original game I'm a bit dissappointed at the ending because I was certain that Leaks' ending is going to expand his backstory and I'd like to see more of Firi because why was he folling Leaks, how did they get aquianted maybe I would've cared as much if not for the fact in every route Firi follows him blindly and complies only to at the end show how he's suffering and like idk felt like they should've expanded on it at least somewhat.

I'm surprised at the quality of each route, in TnC most two locked routes are so boring and did not make me care at all for nano and shiki even made me dislike them more like I feel like every person who adores shiki either never read the vn or is just really horny either way I actually enjoyed every route in Lamento and as much as I think Asato has the best chemistry with Konoe and they're honestly soulmates (HE CARES ABOUT HIM IN EVERY ROUTE AND ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT HE FEELS SOMETHING FOR HIM NOT ONLY IF WE PURSUE HIM FOR GODS SAKE) every ll grew on me, I thought I'd hate Rai and he's just lamento's version of Shiki but he's alright, I like his interactions with Konoe towards the end of his route and I don't think they're a particularly bad pairing, the same can be said about Bardo, I do think his route was the weakest and I don't think they explained his motivation enough because why do you want to have power just for the sake of it, stupid. Overall second best N+C VN only behind sweet pool so far, I only haven't read slow damage but I highly doubt I'll like it more despite the high rating. In my ranking TnC is still second because I'm nostalgic and I like my toxic yaoi, after playing TnC for the second time I lowkey think it's pretty mediocare but it's a 9/10 in my heart and I refuse to acknowlage I'm blinded and give stupid ratings.
