Visual Novels…”are” Complicated!!!
I was saving this topic so I can write my in-depth feelings for why I feel certain games of this genre deserves to be included in this blog but a recent post on anonib, made me list the titles here anyway. My apologies for not going in-depth with these choices especially since I haven’t played lots of these yet: How do you see the world itself where we live in? It truly cannot be compared with even the simplest scenario of a small Visual Novel. The world we live in, it is so…imperfect, bitter and cruel.
No…just no.Here’s a list of free Visual Novels I recommend the poster download and play:It’s the summer before you go away to college, and you’re spending it visiting with your aunt and uncle on a small island in the Atlantic ocean. One night, while out taking pictures of the full moon, you meet a girl walking down the beach…Moonlight Walks: http://www.bishoujo.us/moonlight/Yoshiyuki left everything behind to start a new life.

How do you see the world itself where we live in? It truly cannot be compared with even the simplest scenario of a small Visual Novel. The world we live in, it is so…imperfect, bitter and cruel. You don’t get a decent school-life , where you see your schoolmates who greet you warmly. You don’t have a charming sister who wakes you every morning with a bittersweet smile. You regret your memorable first kiss if you even had one. The image of a attractive girl that lines you being besides you as she presses her arm towards you is just a mere illusion. It’s not real. Nobody will confess to you that they actually like you. You won’t even be able to go on a date. Nobody cherishes those sweet little emotions. And romance, it is dead in the eyes of almost everyone. A mere emptiness, they do not understand it. You can’t even make a choice between multiple girls , since you won’t pick any of them, since they aren’t even worthy of fitting your strict-expectations, it’s out of the question.
You cannot make a save game and revert things back at the beginning if something bad and terrible happens. Because that thing has already happened. You cannot revert it. You cannot rewind your memories. To be exact, you didn’t have anything or anyone to begin with. You were always alone. A bitter, unlikable loner. Who’s passing shall not be mourned. You were struggling all alone in the corner on the school hallway. There was nobody there for you. There was no one, there wasn’t anything. -
No. I do not know what I am even trying to say or prove. It’s just my mixed thoughts that tried to construct something which came quite broken.
And of course, sorry for my BAD English.

Some doctors believe that trepanation can increase your brain power and improve academic and career performance, as well as give heightened consciousness. But unconscious starts to take over, giving a strange kind of clarity of the world beneath what we interpret with our eyes.
