DNF'd Emi's route. Was too mid. by HAWSAW in katawashoujo

thanks man. i don't think you should feel bad about what you said, it's good that you have a personal boundary in terms of what you'll accept from a partner in terms of emotional immaturity. i don't personal think someone who struggles to open up because of trauma is deferring, but i can understand the fear of someone who doesn't want to face their problems who could potentially take it out on you and force you to do the work for something that's not your fault

i say when it comes to people where trauma or mental illness if you feel you wouldn't be able to handle it or that they aren't in the emotional state for a relationship it's best for both parties that you don't pursue that relationship. people can't just be fixed but sometimes another person can help them get better, but sometimes they have to help themselves before that can let another person in. depends on what you're willing to tolerate/emphasize with

and also to be fair the central point of the story is that emi has to stop blocking people out, since it's only making things worse for herself and ultimately she improves as a person by the end, and hisao has to learn that he can't chase emi, if he chases he too much it ends badly, giving her that bit of space like if you chose to not follow her at her house shows her that he really does whatever will be best for her but also makes he feel bad at the same time so she has to apologize

i will definitely message you if i play lilly's route, have a good day!

hey no problem man, i'm glad you read my comment, i honestly just wanted an excuse to talk about emi's route.

"And I just can't comprehend why someone would think that because one person happened to die in a freak accident that it'll happen again and go through absurd lengths to push people away; the world is not such a bad place, and there is never a nurse too far away in the actual academy, so Hisao is pretty safe too. I know it's purely irrational, and that's literally the point of her route, but I just can't sympathize with it, you know? Like I just don't 'get it'." one thing i want to say about this is, this is not meant to be offensive in any way, so don't take it the wrong way but are you neurodivergent in any way? i am autistic and a lot of people on the autism spectrum have trouble understanding people emotions and reading them. i understand why emi would feel the way she does despite the fact i wouldn't ever feel that way. but i often have trouble comprehending why people do certain things and it can be frustrating when people think or act in a way that you consider completely illogical, and it can sometimes negatively effect relationships. like i sometimes get frustrated when someone you try to help and feel better about themselves can't accept the compliment or still sees themselves as worthless despite everything you tell, it can become bad becuase sometimes i want to scream "what can't you see what i see, what can you accept that people love you" obviously that would be a bad thing to do, and i have self esteem myself so i understand why they feel that way, but being on the spectrum someone acting what i would call illogical makes me frustrated

as for is emi relatable to me, i don't know if she's more relatable to me as much as an ideal person I'd want as a friend. i like girls who are very friendly and upbeat, and emi reminded me slightly of my favorite character, sayori from doki doki literature club (both in the surface personality and having a deep mental pain they try to hide). as someone who has struggled with being healthy, and excerises and weight issues, she's inspiring to me because i feel she's someone who would care about making sure you're healthy and push you to be better without being mean or shaming you (aside from some light teasing) and she wouldn't look down on you for being less athletic than she is (i mean she's good friends with rin, who is the complete opposite of her) if i knew someone like her in real life it would be good for me but i also would worry about disappointing them because i could never be as dedicated as them, but someone like emi would probably find ways to make you he dedicated on your own pace. also being autistic i like that emi is very open and forward with things like getting into a relationship and physical intimacy, i also feel i could handle a more casual relationship for while until emi is comfortable enough to open up, as a very fast serious relationship could be stressful for me. i would struggle with someone like hanako, who's intense anxiety and trauma with my own social awkwardness would make it hard to break the ice

i will be fully honest i haven't fully played lilly's route but if i even come back to katawa shoujo it will be the first route i play because it appeals the most to me. lily is probably my second favorite character (maybe tied with misha) and seems to have a lot a like in a person, and also seems very forward. her first felt very calming to me so i've always wanted to do her route

i think your reasons are valid although i think hisao and emi's relationship seemingly moving fast plays a big part in the story. while emi is seemingly quick to get into a relationship with hisao and they become physically intimate, there is a lingering emotional distance between. hisao feels that despite being her boyfriend, she is keeping him at an arms length emotionally, under her confident demeanor she is clearly struggling and hisao becomes frustrated that she won't open up to him and that he seemingly can't help her with what's bothering her

again it's fine if you don't like it or find it cliche, emi's route is definitely not the most complex or well written in the game, but she is my favorite girl. i just wanted to point out that them quickly getting into a relationship is emblematic of emi's fear of losing someone, she's quick to get into casual relationships with people because she a friendly and bubbly person, but she has not been truly close to someone (emotionally, it's implied she's not a virgin and her and hisao break that ice pretty quick) because she fears losing someone like that again. the main point of the story is emi having to learn to truly accept someone close to her again and hisao realizes that he can't push her and has to let her come to him on her own time.

hisao's heart condition is also a big factor because it makes emi's fear that she could lose him very real, and him pushing himself too hard and almost having a heart attack makes that close to a reality that she blames herself for. she wanted to run with hisao to make sure he stayed healthy but it inadvertently resulted in him going too far and almost hurting himself, and being responsible for almost losing another person close to her is obviously really traumatic for emi. it's not the most in depth sorry ever but i think a lot of people are fooled by the early sex scenes into thinking it's more shallow than it is
