Gotta Go the Healing Route

After clearing the ending, Tomoaki Miki returned to the second branch non-stop and chose option one.

This option is a victory for the normal cognition camp. The friends and the psychiatrist worked together to kill Saya and save the world.The protagonist also has a mental breakdown and commits suicide.

The endings of plot-oriented games are often divided into three levels: 'Good', 'Normal', and 'Bad'.But in this game, Tomoaki Miki fell into confusion.

The 'normal' ending in the middle is ruled out first, because the normal ending doesn't fit the game at all.

And the good and bad endings also become difficult to choose before the cognitive differences.From an objective point of view, there is no so-called 'good ending' in this story.

"This work..."

Relieved, Miki Tomoaki habitually wanted to evaluate the games he had played, but he was entangled again.

Is this game good?

The answer is of course 'good'. Although there are some flaws in the production, it is the work of a fan club after all, and it is not inferior to the official manufacturer in terms of completion.

What really made Tomoaki Miki entangled was the story of the game.

There is no doubt that the story is a true novelty, dark reality, despair, depravity, madness, and all negative adjectives may be placed in this game.

But, besides that, there is indeed a beautiful brilliance-the pure and flawless love behind the madness.

Man is a rope between the superman and the beast.

In the game, this rope is pulled towards the beast side.But when approaching the beast side, the other end of this rope stretches unrulyly towards the divinity.

Aside from the camp of normal cognition, if you only look at the perspective of the protagonist, this is a touching and poignant elegy, a hymn of bravery and love.

Even if they know that Saya is a monster who can kill and eat people, from the player's point of view, they can't hate Saya at all.

Not only because of the vertical painting of the characters, but also because Saya, who is clearly a heterogeneous, exudes a pure love that is difficult for human beings to exist.

From the perspective of the protagonist, the player seems to be in a dead and desolate desert, dragging his dilapidated body, enduring loneliness and injury to move forward with difficulty, despair spreads wantonly in his heart, and fear and fear are always there.

Until I met the dandelion in the desert.How chaste and beautiful a dandelion is.Most importantly, this bunch of dandelions is the only one in the protagonist's world.

Yearn for beauty, pursue for hope, live for love, die for love.Can this be said that the protagonist is wrong?

Miki Tomoaki looked at the box, and the packaging on the box was exactly what Saya looked like when she emerged.

Does the essence of the so-called "love" belong to the body or the soul?

Miki Tomoaki instantly remembered the conversation that Saya said, which impressed him deeply and made his heart tremble:

"Do you know the plant dandelion?"

"Dandelions...will scatter their descendants everywhere with the wind. When the wind blows, as long as you make up your mind, no matter what kind of place it is, you can turn it into a dandelion garden."

"The dandelion seed that is blowing in the wind, when will it decide its destination."

"That's right... when that seed meets at least one... person who really loves dandelions."

"In the end, in this desert, at least I can know that there will be another person who cherishes this flower, as long as there is one person is enough."

Thinking of this, Miki Tomoaki no longer felt confused, but instead felt a sense of enlightenment.

"This author is a bit amazing..."

"There is a kind of creative style that Yu Biechao witnesses the light in the darkness."

"It's just that you have to be more dark and perverted than the old thief..."

"The frame design and theme of the game create contrast and double-sidedness. Under the strange appearance of the game, its core is very beautiful, hopeful, profound and thought-provoking."

"There is no doubt that this is a moving and poignant elegy, a hymn of bravery and love. No words of praise will be stingy about it."

"The reason why it is said that inside this dark, hopeless and deep shell is the core of hope and brave love. This work is not intended to express disappointment and hatred for people, but to express people's most primitive love and hope. To defend, to defend, To hope, to yearn for that beautiful love, to be brave, to face, to achieve, to love."

"In the domestic market where the theme of harem love is becoming more and more common, this game brought by a small fan club is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air."

"Although the production level may not be as good as those big factories, but the story and game mechanism are undoubtedly top-level, which is surprising, so I give it a 95-point evaluation."

The comment written by Tomoaki Miki, as the first excellent praise, is undoubtedly a booster for Kanta Anyi.

If you don't really like this work with a score of more than 90 points, players who think that this is a brilliant work from the bottom of their hearts will not be able to play it.In this era, the group of "water army" has not yet been born. Although there are things about reviewing, it is also strictly supervised by the rating website, so the credibility is still very high.

And as time goes by, there are more and more comments about "Saya no Song" on the website of the visual novel shrine.It finally reached its peak two weeks later, with four to five hundred comments and ratings here and there.

At the beginning, negative reviews accounted for the majority, but as time went by, the number of positive reviews increased.

As predicted by Kazama Xi, the evaluation of "The Song of Saya" began to show a trend of complete polarization on the website.

The negative reviews are basically given below 70 points, and the content of the reviews is mostly that they cannot accept such a novelty-hunting game.

This is simply a matter of threshold acceptance.If the ability to accept cannot pass the threshold of setting, even if the script of the game is well written, there is no way.

The positive reviews are all extremely good reviews with a score of 85 or more, and the appreciation is concentrated on the game's novel world view and complicated but impressive plot.

Although the process of "Song of Saya" is short and there are few branches, it has a strong sense of substitution in the plot. In the game, the perspective of the characters is often switched and expressed from different angles. Knowing the details of the plot can also allow players to understand the plot more intuitively.

As long as the setting can be accepted, the player can quickly enter the character's perspective and understand the whole story.The sense of experience can be said to be full.

Compared with the extreme evaluations of good and bad, there are very few evaluations that give the game an ordinary rating.Because "The Song of Saya" is definitely not ordinary from all angles.

The rating of a game is polarized, which is very rare in the entire visual novel shrine.Because it is rare, it is very eye-catching.

The galgame circle is neither big nor small, and players are still active on various forums.A very characteristic work is actually extremely easy to spread in the circle.

Especially for those fans who have given "Song of Saya" a very high evaluation, they naturally spare no effort to carry out Amway in the circle.

Needless to say, Amway succeeds, even if Amway fails, it will leave a deep impression on the players.

The word 'impression' seems very simple, but it is very difficult to really form it.For game manufacturers or communities, this is also one of the goals they tirelessly pursue in making games.

Such two layers of relationship are superimposed, and "Song of Saya" has enough characteristics, so that the reputation of "Song of Saya" spreads rapidly in the spread.

By September, "The Song of Saya" was already considered a minor celebrity in the circle.Even the production team is known to some people.

Of course, the most famous names are Mizuta Yuri and Kazama Yuri.

The game's original art is equivalent to the business card of the visual novel game, and the spread of Saya's image can be regarded as the process of Mizuta Yuri's accumulation of popularity.Coupled with the recommendation of Wu Shanyun during the CM, Mizuta Yuri can be said to have become a small hit in the circle.

And Kazama Xi's words are known purely because of the story and setting of the song of Saya.

In September, the score of "Saya no Song" on the Visual Novel Shrine website also reached 80 and above.

80 points is considered a watershed for galgame on the website. A score of 80 and above can be called a masterpiece.

But "Song of Saya" is different. Its score is almost [-]% of the negative review rate.

Moreover, as various players dig deeper into the game settings and stories, the positive ratings are also rising, and the corresponding negative ratings are down.

After all, most of the players who started playing "Song of Saya" later had some understanding of the game's settings, and they also knew that this was a novelty-seeking game.If you are mentally prepared, you will naturally not arbitrarily give bad reviews because of the settings.

This is actually a process of slowly accumulating word of mouth and deepening impressions.

And there are indeed many things in "The Song of Saya" that are worth digging: for example, the human nature embodied in the story, and the thinking about love.There's even a deep dive into Saya's origins in terms of setting.

Because there is no Cthulhu Mythos in this world, in order to complete the story, Kazama Xi also put some Cthulhu Mythos settings into the game as menus.

During the game process, in the process of revealing the secrets of Saya, these settings will also be shown through some log files and the mouths of others.

This is one of the benefits of focusing on the plot to the game, compared to the flattery game where the brainless love is for the sake of selling meat.Games that focus on the depth of the plot will be smoother in terms of discussion and word-of-mouth accumulation.

Mrs. Anyi is now completely convinced by Kazama Xi, and she is so admired.

Originally, he only dragged Feng Jianxi into the club to fight the fire, but he never expected that this classmate who accidentally pulled into the club was actually a thigh of 24k pure gold.

"The Song of Saya" can have such a response, and Kanta Yasushi also knows that the biggest contributor is Yu Kazama who brought the setting and production direction and created the script.

Compared with Kanta Anyo who became a little dizzy because of the results of "Saya's Song", it was like a dream.Feng Jianxi will be much calmer.

Just like his original thought, it's okay to fail, and it's better to succeed.However, since "Song of Saya" has achieved good success, he can gradually try many ideas.

Of course, that's all for later, his current focus of work is still on the two serial comics.

Chapter 190 Seven

In September, with the end of summer, there is also the summer vacation of the majority of students.For the teenagers and girls in Kanna who are studying, it represents the restraint of their playfulness and their return to the life of three points and one line.

Kazama Xi is no exception.Throughout the summer vacation, he spent most of his time in the studio, sitting in the town himself, and by the way, calling and giving pointers to the new assistants.

The start of the new semester didn't have much impact on him, but it was just one more place to go.The new assistant has basically adapted to the painting style of the two films, and can help Kazama Xi save a lot of trivia in comics.

And those two new works, "Chain Saw Man" and "Flame Fist" are now completely on the right track, leaving Jump's new work protection period, and officially participating in the fight on Xiaozheng.

Although the current popularity is definitely higher than that in the early days of the non-serialization, the response of the two works has declined compared to the initial serialization, which is also expected by Kazama Xi.

Take "The Chainsaw Man" as an example, "The Chainsaw Man" is a kingly work in general.The common problem of Wang Dao's works is that it needs to spend a lot of pen and ink to state the setting and pave the way for the rhythm in the early stage.

Compared with other kingly works on Juvenile Jump, the setting of "Chain Saw Man" has actually been developed very quickly.Of course, this is also related to the simplicity and clarity of the superficial setting of the story.

In fact, the setting of the chainsaw man about the demon and the demon hunter has been made very clear in the previous few words.

Demons are formed from 'concepts' that humans fear.Out of the fear of knives comes the 'Knife Demon', out of the fear of fire there is the 'Fire Demon', and even the aversion and fear of coriander gives birth to the 'Coriander Demon'.And the prevalence of fear of a concept also determines the power of the demon.

The demon hunter, on the other hand, signed a contract with the demon and obtained the power of the demon by paying a price.

From the setting point of view, it seems to be unremarkable. It can be said that the brilliance of this setting lies in the various conceptual demons and their derived abilities, which are then displayed through various screens. A highlight for fantasy teens.

The superficial setting is actually quite easy. The reason why Wang Daoman's early rhythm is slow is more because of the description of various characters and events, so as to shape the character design.

In fact, in Yu Kazama's previous life, "Chain Saw Man" can only be regarded as an ordinary work in the early days of Fujimoto's serialization on Jump.

The well-regulated story, until the hotel floor chapter, is an ordinary or unremarkable plot.

The place where I insist on being 'uncommon' is that the characters in the story are occasionally mixed with wonderful and profound motives and speeches, and the wonderful character design.

However, for Fujimoto who has finished drawing "Fist of Flame" and has been called a "crazy" by some readers, it's okay that the characters on the stage are all neurotic.It was even regarded as the improvement of Fujimoto's condition.

As for the hotel floor chapter, as Fujimoto's condition worsened, the plot suddenly began to develop explosively, so I won't talk about it here.

All in all, in this different time and space, the comics of "Chain Saw Man" have only published a total of nine chapters so far, until Pava rescued the cat.

The plots of these nine episodes basically revolve around shaping the characters.

Needless to say, the main character's movie times, in just a few words, the image of a loveless teenager who is a little silly and has a strange brain circuit has been shown to the readers.

In addition to enriching the image of the protagonist and deepening the character label, other characters in "Chain Saw Man" also successively showed their personalities in the nine-episode stories: the somewhat black-hearted Machima, the steady and serious Akira Hayakawa, and the new debut Crazy Pava.

These important supporting roles other than the protagonist are used to embody the fetters of friendship.
