"Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren't there to support you." - Rena
The lengths of the visual novels might be daunting, occasionally feeling drawn-out, but once you're immersed in the captivating world of Hinamizawa or Rokkenjima, there's no turning back. Sometimes, the story can feel
like a character study but on the other hand the plot of the story itself is intriguing as well, making us ponder about the true nature of the worlds, resulting in countless fan theories.
The cherry on the top is definitely the music and the sound direction. Not only it helps in creating an immersive and vibrant world, but also tugs at our heartstrings with its instrumental tracks. The atmosphere can go from haunting to mysterious in seconds, excelling at both.
Each character within the story is fleshed out with their own motivations, whom we can't help but love because of their charming personalities and their stories. Each character, from Keiichi to Oishi, is impeccably crafted, embodying a sense of humanity. Their stories are meticulously explored and developed throughout the extensive duration of the visual novels.
For quite some time, I have been a fan of Whey They Cry franchise. It's been a good number of years, yet it still remains the story closest to my heart. In a sense, this is a perfect story for me, encapsulating everything I cherish in a story, from its profound themes to its atmospheric allure. While it may be a bit flawed in certain aspects, its excellence in other areas seems to compensate for those imperfections. The stories resonated with me more deeply than any other story ever could. They provide a feeling of comfort and hope, akin to a warm hug after a long day. As a result, it has remained my favourite story.
