Chaos;Head has been a bit of a chore to read through. I've definitely enjoyed substantial parts of it and it explored some ideas that I thought were interesting to read about.
I have some criticisms of the delusion choice system. I think once you get a delusion (at least the ones that are actually delusions), you know that what's happening is not real and so it's a bit hard to care. Some of them have a prophetic element or some kind of foreshadowing which is interesting, though. I think it would have been better for there to have been something at stake here, such as certain delusions giving you a bad ending, though that might require reworking the story a bit.
I finished the two normal endings and I'm currently in the heroine "routes", and that is the primary chore I'm experiencing. I read Yua's first and that was definitely a disappointment. Currently in Ayase's. I'll finish the game and give a final rating this weekend probably.

The age of a VN doesn't really matter. If one gets localized the company still had to pay licensing fees, translate it, and do technical work. New VNs can cost like $100 in Japan anyway, if you didn't know. Just about anything that gets released here is at a lower price than anyone in Japan paid for it originally.

They personally didn't do anything to the script except maybe some QA. The editing was finished way back in 2017 by the remnants of the fantl team when Sekai still had the licence.

Someone asked in their discord and they said the TL was edited back in 2017 and basically untouched after. If I remember right, the Miu route wasn't edited in the fan TL so that's probably where most of the changes would be if I had to guess.

Luckily for you the character routes are all pretty short, and Yua's is among the less interesting ones. If you wanna keep the best ones for last you should readNanami'snext. I agree with you on the delusion system.Considering how often Rimi is pleading with you to stop having delusions, you would think that simply having delusions at all had an influence on the story.

Only in one scene. And even then pedophile is a term that covers both genders of prepubescent age, not strictly females. I'd rather they just leave it as lolicon since lolicon doesn't really translate to pedophile moreso than someone who likes lolis 'small/petite girls'

>>558790978
小児性愛者 is the correct word for Pedophile anon. Pedophile in English doesn't carry the same gravity and implication as ロリコン in Japanese. No one would jokingly refer to oneself as Pedophile in the English speaking world if he likes smaller women. In Japan referring to oneself as ロリコン is common. It doesn't carry the same meaning or gravity.
>>

>>558791306
Yeah I'll probably do Nanami's next. Yua's was strange in that it dropped such a big bombshell about her character but it was something that didn't really matter in context of the larger story (and honestly seemed like a retcon). She has the same VA as Mitsuki from Kiminozo so I wonder if they got the idea for the first part of her route from Manami's yandere route from that game, albeit toned down a whole lot.

I guess this is about as close as they could get to an H-scene, lol. I had a few thoughts about this game being all-ages. Honestly, I don't mind. If it wasn't then you know that several of the characters,e.g. Ayase and Rimi, would have been raped and sexually tortured in the past. I'm not too fond of reading about shit like that anymore, honestly.
>>
>>558792616
I did not say you should go into the streets and shout you are a lolicon, faggot. I said you use ロリコン casually among friends if you have a petite girlfriend. You don't call yourself Pedophile in English speaking contexts. The words have completely different gravity. Stop gaslighting tourist faggot.

The only real good part of Utawarerumono is the slice of life and baby care you get from Kuon. I prefer to think that the third game doesn't exist. The war sucks, the characters dynamic sucks without Haku, the plot shits the bed harder than legit any other Vinnie I've played in the last third. I'll stick with og and deception thank you very much

No... Its not... The gameplay is way worse than the other two games with maps that are genuinely kinda busted. Losing Haku completely kills the slice of life vibes and makes me wonder why the fuck everyone is suddenly so friendly with Oshtor, did the birb seriously play strip poker with Oshtor in the capital? Legit everything after saving the capital is shit, you have a short and sweet segment going back to Tuskur but the story is genuinely unsalvagable once the big bad shows up. And the adventures into the individual nations kinda reek of cuckshit.

A neat trick is to avoid buying upgrades in the shop for the characters whose weapons you want dropped. e.g. if you want kira kiras rank 4 weapon dropped make sure you buy the weapons for the characters you dont care about. Great increases your odds if you get super unlucky

I don't think there's a main heroine at all, it's all one route but you can choose a girl along the way. Which makes it even more dumb that she isn't an option.

Of course. It was pretty explicit even before the pov swap to Saya.Until the Key magic allowed her to change her wish, changing the treasure of the dungeon from a biological weapon to a time machine, which she used to go back in time and avert her misfortune, later reconnecting with the Little Busters and falling in love with Riki all over again.
Let me have this.

Ruka doesn't do romance because he's a good guy and he knows the girl is gonna be sad when he dies (soon).
I made it all up but that's probably what the author would say. Tag him on X. Send death threats.

>>558813487
Might as well just make it a kinetic novel at that point. And most plotges have an intended heroine for the true route, there is none of that in MWA from what I can see. Either way i hate the idea of true routes when you have multiple heroines to choose from. Makes the choices meaningless

Even more reason that the heroine routes and H-scenes were pointless. What's the point of teasing cute heroines and romance and just rug pulling readers?

That being said, it's arguable thatshe lives in the anime adaptation. At the end of Little Busters EX, the last segment of which adapts Kanata's route, it shows all the Little Busters standing together at the end and you can see Saya off to the side (the scene takes place in the real world).

The ripples represent their wishes, not their lives. Saya entered the dream world as she died, but she didn't realize her wish until she fell in love with Riki, and by the time she realized her wish it was too late for her to fulfill it. That's why Kyousuke, who had been trying to eject her from the dream world for interfering with Riki's ability to mature, allowed her to remain for one more loop.
Her wish was granted and (in an admittedly more magical scenario than the other characters who were only on the *verge* of death), manages to go back in time to a world where she could be with Riki and the others instead.
You could say it's just an illusion and she's dead in the real world, but what even is the real world at the end? Everything that happens post-refrain is arguably a result of Riki and Rin refusing to accept reality and creating a world where everyone survived while escaping from the "real" world. Saya either survived in the real world, or the real world was long abandoned by that point regardless.

>with maps that are genuinely kinda busted.
The only map that caught me off guard was Mikazuchi's rape cave, the gameplay was fine
>Losing Haku completely kills the slice of life vibes
That's the entire point and exactly why the SoL in Deception is meaningful. I respect that the writers didn't pussy out and just have Haku go back to normal halfway through the story, it makes those small moments where his original self shine through much more impactful
>why the fuck everyone is suddenly so friendly with Oshtor
They weren't at first, the beginning of the game is depressing as fuck. It's also shown that as much Haku tries to be the calculating, distant war hero he's a naturally warm person which was different from how the real Oshtor acted
>Legit everything after saving the capital is shit
The pacing and scale is definitely wonky but the actual events of the story are good, don't know how anyon could dislike the tuskur reinforcements or the real final battle.

I don't think you're correct. I don't know if I can describe this as well as I used to be able to since I haven't read the game in quite a while,but the dream world in the game has a mechanic that allows a person to reset in the real world to their moment of death, or more specifically to the moment they were going to die, which is detailed with what's going on with Kyousuke trying to block the gas leak on the bus. When Riki woke up in the hospital he was able to reset to that point. Saya's moment of death was in the landslide after she returned to Japan as a teenager, so there was no way for her to reset back to her childhood before she left Japan. It's like with Sasami's cat, it can't reset to before it got lost. Likewise Kengo couldn't stop the archery girl from killing herself (she's already dead at the start of the game which is why the suicide fence is on the roof), and Kud's mother is still dead.

There are some time travel elements to it, even outside of Saya's route. Riki goes back in time (chooses to be "born again") to cure his narcolepsy in the good end of Refrain, for instance.
I'm sure you could make an argument that "the moment Saya was destined to die" was the moment she decided to stop thinking for herself and simply agree with everything her father said, which is also around where Saya's route ends with her waking up. Maybe living a life as the cool secret agent, working with Riki as a partner instead of being by herself or leaving everything to someone else, that's what gave her the strength to choose the future she wanted.
I don't think the magic in Little Busters is concrete. A lot of it is left open to interpretation, I feel by design.

I still think you're wrong.Even the point you made about the ripple representing her wish, which I think is a fair way to describe it, means that her ending still takes place in the dream world. If her wish were fulfilled her ripple wouldn't be there. I think they make it just vague enough for you to take a happy ending from it if that's what you want, but if you pay attention that's not what's going on. Like I said in my earlier post I think you've got more to go on with the anime since it doesn't go into much detail on the mechanics and it actually shows Saya at the end in a real-world scene. Even then it's still arguable.
>>
>>558816215
>If her wish were fulfilled her ripple wouldn't be there
We get an animation of her ripple flying away before we see her wake up.
I don't necessarily think I'm right, I don't necessarily think you're wrong. There's enough left unsaid that I don't think there is a fully concrete answer that can be gleamed from the ending alone. "People get what they want out of it" is a writing cop out, but honestly either could be true both evidentially and thematically.

I actually like SoL. I think the problem was the translation it made everything feel boring. The same thing happened with Muv Luv. I dropped it at first because the SoL felt dull and the comedy didn’t land. But when I read it in Japanese, I actually enjoyed it. Maybe I should give it another shot in JP.

Well, Extra is a parody of moege and dating sims in general, I think knowing that going into it makes it a lot easier to 'get'. If you didn't know that then a lot of the gags or lighthearted elements completely miss the mark.
Same sorta deal with Key, though the realization there is that there are sad times ahead, which give the SoL stuff more depth and nuance.

Might as well post what I was referring to. I'm not sure exactly what the unlock conditions are (I presume it's just beating Refrain),but if you replay Kud's original ending (NOT the new ending that unlocks after Refrain), then it gets some extra text that recontextualizes it as taking place in the real world.

>>558819068
I agree. I wondered if maybe it was added due to Kud Wafter. It's just a few extra lines, though.I think it's something about Kud getting out of the hospital after the bus crash.I read the game almost eight years ago after all so my memory is fuzzy now. It definitely exists though because I tried skipping through all the endings again and I got new text there, and I've posted about it a few times over the years.

Pedophile fiction is a subsection of pedophilia, it's attracting the same sorts, so there's no wasted effort or anything. Besides, shaming people within my own sphere has the added benefit of either driving them out or making them change, which in turn makes me happier. The fewer pedophiles, the fewer pedophile fiction that gets written, and the fewer remaining pedophiles that feel safe and catered to. Win-win-win.

>Eroge writers actually hate the coom
Hope no one tells him that the mainstream plotge and key nakige shit he reads are just a micro fraction of the whole medium and most writers, especially for moege kino are massive coomers (like 99% of the audience).

Anon, most eroge artists which created the subculture you claim to be part of are to some extent lolicon. Not only eroge, but also manga and video games. How do you sleep at night knowing you consume fiction made by pedophiles (your logic/definition, not mine)?

Right move. We don't need implied misogyny by implying sex with a sex worker is not real sex. It's a typical chud joke that has no place in 2026. Touch grass incels, this isn't your medium anymore.

"Sex with a sex worker is not real sex"
This perspective is often viewed as a form of erasure and objectification.
The Dehumanization Factor: By claiming the encounter isn't "real," the joke implies that the sex worker is not a human participant in an interaction, but rather a "service" or a "utility" like a vending machine. It strips the worker of their agency and humanity.
The "Disposable" Narrative: It reinforces the idea that women (who make up the majority of sex workers) are only "real" or valuable when they are accessed through traditional patriarchal structures (like marriage or dating).
Consent and Labor: From a labor-feminism perspective, this joke dismisses the emotional and physical labor involved, suggesting that the worker’s body is a commodity rather than a person engaged in a professional boundary-setting interaction.

Anon, even if your dementia about fiction = reality were real, a pedophile is a pedophile because he wants to fuck prepubescent kids. Not all lolis are having prepubescent bodies. Most actually don't.

Anon, I spent too much time on r*ddit (and am banned on too many subs for misogyny) to ignore femoid talking points. After a while you learn to spot the shit. That whole "sex with a sex worker is not real is misogynist" take is feminism 101.

Bro you're just looking for something to be outraged about which isn't there. They most likely changed it because there isn't an English word for that concept and they wanted to keep the flow of the sentence.

no one will tell me that because it's not true. a nukige is lucky beyond their wildest dreams to sell 1,000 copies, with 5,000 being the absolute cap 99% of the time. they're tiny specks of literal-whos compared to the actual movers and shakers of the industry.
it's been the same story of every single sex profession since the dawn of time. a tiny fraction might enjoy it - or, said better, enjoy the money - but the vast, vast, vast majority are doing it because they feel they have to, and stop doing it the moment they can.

>>558828239
Most eroge artists are pedophiles? That seems pretty obviously not true. I mean for one thing most h-art is outsourced to lesser, more expendable artists on the team and were not drawn by your favorite artist. Did you not know that?
I guess you've been a lonely pedophile for so long you've accidentally started thinking your brain is typical and is shared by everyone else that you like.
It's not an altogether uncommon defensive reaction, but I urge you to gain some more perspective before trying saying this to someone less patient and understanding than me.
