Yo that "one route" in Grisaia best be Based Girl Michiru or i'm going to have to deduct some street cred from you.
...because she's the only one worth dropping partway through? I started to like her a lot in the Common Route, honestly.
No, I'm currently stalled partway through Amane's route. Had to take one break after hitting the sex scenes from her perspective, because learning
why she's holding herself so sexually available was badly unnerving. Came back, and then went on hiatus after a cute scene where she and Yuuji are discussing their future together, including the off-chance if Amane got pregnant. Since Yuuji's response was perfect ("Well, I have enough savings to support us until I can apply for a desk job..."), and it's been implied to me that things rapidly go to hell pretty soon (something involving the words "angelic howl," which unlike "would you kindly" I can't even begin to guess the significance of).
Not that I'm not going back to the game at some point. Chiruchiru, Sachi, and Nega-squid are all waiting. I just have trouble walking into stories where I
know things are going to get terrible for the characters. Same principle that kept me away from Muv-Luv, I'm depressed enough as is without seeking it out in my escapist works.
That actually sounds like a drastically-improved version of Raidy (or maybe a slightly-improved Sengoku Rance), and if you're really not penalized in any way for not getting any Bad Ends, the rest of it sounds pretty appealing. I think you've swung me.
