The Route order for WNL will be as follows: ( Uruka > Rizu > Fumino > Asumi > Mafuyu ). Basically a VN setup

I can't stop laughing. So much salt.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
I dunno this is cool.

The main ending is clearly Uruka.

The Author is just getting to gently caress around and do alternative endings.

What's the big deal lol

Yeah I'm fine with this, again because the "original" ending feels kind of incomplete. It's funny seeing Uruka shippers freak out that anyone else is even getting acknowledged though

it's better to write a single cohesive story and ending imo, and it feels like pandering.

like i wasn't super pleased with the ending to quints but at least haruba made a choice and stuck with it.

I'm torn on this. Happy because Uruka felt kinda lame and I'd like it he had to at least consider the other girls and choose one (rather than going for the first to do a full confession), but I feel this ending split route stuff wont fix that at all. Instead it will probably just be someone else confessing first, showing why he confesses back, and then back to 1. Again

Each ending will show how everyone would have ended up being miserable if he had ended up with any of the other girls.

Uruka is the best option because she is leaving immediately after the confession. As a result, the other girls don't have to gradually fall into madness as they watch their friend dating the protagonist.

Mirage posted:

The WNL rumor is that every ending will branch off from the fireworks chapter, showing each result as if each girl was the handholding one.

Some folks are further speculating that each ending will get a full volume's worth of chapters. I think that's wishful thinking, but who knows.

In any case, Tsutsui is a crazy person and I hope it works.

There will be a long hamfisted explanation about how quantum physics and the multiverse mean that Nariyuki actually ends up with everyone.

I keep seeing people saying it's like a VN but in those you usually spend like a good 50% of the game in a specific characters route, it doesn't diverge right at the end.

Even if each character gets a volume to themselves that's still kinda less effort than your average dating sim gives.

Well, let's consider the format of manga: it's serialized fiction. If they did "routes" like in a visual novel, then people would rightfully complain that the other characters got little to no development for months or years on end. I think it's a sensible comparison if you make allowances for the medium.

SyntheticPolygon

I suppose so. Just feels like a strange medium for this storytelling format, like by necessity it seems like you'd need to make a bunch of compromises to get it to work even half decently and probably never to the same extent it works for VNs.

We'll have to see how far back the points of divergence are; I have a feeling things could get very interesting if that point is months and months before the final exams.

For instance, what if every branching route lasted 20-30 chapters each?

Going by visual novel logic that the last route is the "true" route, doesn't this mean that Sensei is the true route? Which means that once again Senpai has been robbed.

Could also be the "hidden" ending that doesn't get revealed by the game until you get all the other ones. From a marketing perspective it makes sense for Sensei as the most popular heroine by a wide margin to go last, so her fans don't just bail after her chapter.

I'm fine with this method, as it lets the readers all get what they want without bitter feelings about winning or losing. Harem romcoms aren't where you go for "artistic integrity," they're where you go for a smile and a chuckle.

But yes, Sensei is the true route, and I won't entertain any other notion.

Sensei some years later after Nariyuki graduates college and becomes a teacher is unironically a good route.

Nah, that's weird. Age gaps become a lot less weird once you're talking about post-college ages.

While Fumino is my favorite, if I'm being honest she doesn't really have that great romantic chemistry with Nariyuki. Ogata also definitely doesn't. The tiny senpai actually kinda does.

Tiny senpai absolutely had the strongest flirting game and was a paper tiger in that respect as well, which was good, but you could tell Nariyuki wasn't feeling it.

Fumino is definitely platonic BFF.

I find it odd that we went from Uruka to being the preferred pairing and best girl around these parts or at least the most popular to end with Nariyuki, to now her being less considered for it. Sensei just feels incredibly weird since it basically means that sensei had an unrequited crush on her teacher since she was in HS and never really seemed to move on from it til she gets the hots for said teachers son several years later which is legitimately both kind of creepy and sad.

Either just have the end you made with Uruka and maybe a time-skip of some kind of everyone moving on with their lives, or the ultimate trolling like I said where it all turns out to have been a dating sim game like I said which actually seems more likely now. Alternatively just give him a full on Tenchi harem and call it a day.
