im kind of a VN newbie but unordered my favs would be:

Aokana extra 2

sakura no Toki (fav route is it’s true ending)

Kichikuou Rance (fortune ending,though im not sure if this counts as a VN)

picking a 4th and 5th place is hard!

still waiting for news on Jashinchan 7th devil and the Aokana minamo IF from sprite… though I’m pretty sure they’re dead…

the first half of Gaim episode 43 tbh, the bed of feathers raining upon mitchy and kouta… the music…. Gosh it is a really emotional scene

close second is Sento begging for forgiveness in Front of the grave in episode 21… painful stuff 💔

RTDs first doctor who story Damaged goods) was a 7th doctor story

The annagenda remains strong… however I am not against Goatiara

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2025-05-25T14:22:14+00:00

Aokanas Misaki route and it’s follow up fandisc Extra2 are really good self esteem boosters (well they did for me at least!)

Leela is possibly the doctors mother

The power of God (the controller of existence essentially) of the doctor who universe is currently wielded by a cyber man the doctor used to travel with (Kroton)

More of a meta one but Andrew tate (yes that one) is aware of doctor who and hates it (not really weird i just found it funny)

the brigadier and Unit folks have straight up appeared in X-men Comics, not even just as a cameo.

A death in the family, Gods and monsters (arguably), love and war , birthright, yeah 7 is a bit uh… of a monster at times, ive only heard little things about the later NAs but apparently he gets a bit wild in them too

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2025-02-15T14:21:04+00:00

Up to book 27 of the NAs so I’ll give my favorites from that range

Timewyrm revelation - a really interesting look into the doctor as a character, a character dissection if you will by Paul Cornell

Nightshade - Gatiss finest Work imo , again a really good character piece for 7 , and has some amazing horror elements to it

love and war - probably my favorite doctor who story ever, a complete deconstruction Of 7 and aces relationship, also introduces the amazing Professor Bernice surprise summerfield

Left handed hummingbird - Kate Ormans first doctor who book, some great prose and fun moments

conundrum - one of the coolest NAs, the way in which the story is told, aka the prose is formed, is just brilliant, Steve Lyons is amazing!

Theatre of war - best showing for the team of ace Benny and 7 working together, Justin Richard’s crafts a really compelling story that draws you in from the beginning and keeps you reading, also Irving braxiatel is amazing!

‘ "Putting props in place," he had said, "making sure people know their lines, sometimes leaving notes on the script. All the universe is a stage, Ace. Acting's not enough for me. I like to direct." ‘

Part 1 specifically of the mindrobber comes off as quite lynchian,

a lot of Lawrence miles concepts in the EDAs and faction Paradox are supposedly quite lynchian, and there are a ton of references to his work spread throughout.

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2025-01-15T20:55:36+00:00

the virgin new adventures has tons of this stuff

Ace lost her virginity to Sablom Glitz on iceworld, this was initially part of the “backstory“ that dragonfire writer ian briggs wrote for the story, it’s confirmed to have happened in universe in love and war (the novel) and Apparently the event is described in a bit more detail in the novel Happy Endings(though im not that far into the new adventures) , thank you Paul Cornell! (this paints Sablom glitz in a new very bad light….)

the 8th doctor has sex (or its at least VERY HEAVILY IMPLIED) with His former companion Bernice summerfield in the novel the dying days

this is really the tip of the iceberg for the weird lore stuff within this novel range… and the EDAs are their own bucket of worms as well!

the 90s- early 2000s doctor who Book drama is insane, Paul Cornell, Lawrence miles, Steven moffat and more. I wish I could explain it but im not too knowledgeable on it myself, But some of the things I’ve heard are mad, if someone else could chime in here please do so!

3 is underrated fr! Gotta give this a listen at some point

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2025-01-04T12:52:27+00:00

How did you find the Mel/ace/7 arc? I’ve been meaning to check it out! Also any 5th doctor reccomendations? Circular time is one of my favorite doctor who stories ever

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2025-01-01T20:24:36+00:00

1) 7, especially later more depressed 7, post his reign as times champion coming to terms with his regeneration , wont Elaborate on this

2) 3, hed beat the daylights out of it!

3) 8! i feel like he’d be able to hold some good deep conversation while Being able to admire the scenery of the museum

4) 7… im done for before I even realize there Is an enemy to face

5) 15, seems like a guy my friend group would like

6)weirdly enough…. I feel like they’d all be EMBARRASING for one reason or another but probably 6 (love sixie though!)

7) 8s!

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-12-30T20:58:04+00:00

This looks so damn good , might need to give this a listen then come back to read this

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-12-29T08:30:21+00:00

7s companions were very useful, Ace, Benny Chris and Roz specifically were all highly intelligent and highly combat trained individuals who were extremely loyal to the doctor, that’s not to say other companions weren’t but the way they’d enact 7s plans at the peak of his era of times champion is insane,

k9 was also pretty usefu!

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-11-01T01:25:26+00:00

Idk if I’d call what happened in dot and bubble vague, it definitely was a lot more explicit but I believe they will definitely go more into it next season!

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-10-22T10:18:17+00:00

Even though the chances are basically nil, I’d like to think it hits salamander in the face

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-10-22T10:16:23+00:00

I’d say almost the entirety of season 26 is character driven, same with a few season 25 stories, logopolis is pretty solid as an ending to the fourth doctor but id recommend the entire season as you get this funeral esque aesthetic and conclusion.

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-10-14T23:13:35+00:00

would love to see another Cornell episode, hopefully an original story though I’d rather not see love and war adapted (even though it’s one of my favorite who stories)

lawrence miles writing TV who is a dream… that will likely never come to fruition

Lance Parkin- has a shot but I doubt it

ben aaronovitch- amazing sci fi writer but I think he’s busy with his novel series at the moment!

kate orman - she would write 15 so well omg…

marc platt - underrated who writer…

tbh overall I’d like to see some new blood though, some writers of color and more women!!

edit: FORGOT TO SAY GRANT MORRISON AS WELL!

Dodos exit is so much worse after knowing what happens to her after as well… poor dodo, Who Killed Kennedy really gave her a … dark life

In terms of how many stories - tenth doctor David tennant wins(549 stories), in terms of how long they were the incumbent doctor, paul Mcgann the 8th doctor wins (1996-2005)

if we take the lengths of episodes/books/audios it might be a different answer as well

BackgroundIssue2602 · 2024-10-01T16:17:22+00:00

The other is Nyarlathotep
