I'm not sure if I could trust anyone that actually likes this visual novel if I'm being real. I honestly only played this because I had "Saya's Song" stuck in my head for like a week and thought to myself at 1 AM today to finally give the stupid VN a go (knowing I wasn't going to like it). Anyways I did manage to play it through in like 3 sittings since it was short but Jesus Christ was it actually awful. I also got every ending so before any dudebro with nonce particles inside them gets rowdy thinking I only got one ending or something, CALM DOWN.
I liked certain concepts of the game such as Saya being a sort of "idol" to Fuminori, but I genuinely wished the game didn't try cramming down stupid unnecessary sex scenes down our throats like "heh... isn't this EVIL and DARKSIDED? take a glimpse at Urobuchi's DARK and TWISTED mind... heh". Like great, thanks Urobuchi I don't like you. Everyone and their grandma is like nnooo nooo these sexual scenes are supposed to cement how far gone Fuminori is and how he's losing his humanity and like it's to show how he and Saya are the only lonely people in each other's worlds and- BLAH BLAH BLAH I DONT CARE. IT SUCKS. If I'm being real the sex scenes with Fuminori feel like an excuse for men to find a way to feel aroused during these scenes because clearly they were trying to hit some sort of erotic points for the reader. There are so many things that could have been done better to still prove that Fuminori is a horrible human being without it resorting to sex. I had to keep skipping the h scenes and their dialogue because why would any sane person want to see a grown ass man doing all of that to someone who looks like a ten year old. If I had a nickel for how many times I saw the word manhood as a replacement for the word penis I'd have enough money to fly to Japan and drop an anvil on Urobuchi's head.
Anyways, I just don't appreciate how pessimistic and misanthropic this visual novel is, and I guess I'm glad I finally played through this myself so I can mentally throw rocks and strike people with psychic beams anytime I see someone praise this horrendous piece of slop.

13 yo boy edgy power fantasy writing. does vn exist to tell a story or does it adds a story in only to make porn more "elevated"? also no excuse to have here literal child porn.
Incredibly well written; with some amazing tension and overall extremely thick atmosphere. I'd say that even the 18+ scenes are a thematically important piece of the story and that's kinda impressive idk.
Really enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed it.
Some scenes were really gross and unnecessary..
Beautiful.
Did you know I'm utterly insane?

an insanely interesting short vn. i only recommend this to play censored as the h-scenes don't bring any substance and are just weird as hell, i wish it wasn't a common trend across vns to have actual like, good stories and then bring children in the table
absoluetly love the backgrounds of saya no uta though, they're really interesting and are beautifully drawn, beautiful horror visuals, although this VN is not something i'd exactly recommend, if you're twisted enough and interested, it is worth a try

I understand why there are a lot of hate for this VN. It has multiple unnecessary adult stuff happening. But i feel like the premise is unique. A person who view the world in disgusting form but the only beautiful thing is an unearthly-creature whereas in real life its the contrary. We got a happy end, but again, it was from our MC's POV. This VN also being adapted to western comic, which proving it has something good in it. I lowkey want this story adapted into a movie tho.
Despite some unnecessary scenes I really like it! I'm weak for Cosmic horror stories and disturbing romances

Just very unimpressive for modern standards IMO, don't care much abt it's impact.
