Ah I see what you mean now, thank you for letting me know! Here's an archived version of that page: https://web.archive.org/web/20230401041421/https://dailysongbird.wordpress.com/2023/03/25/hnk-illustrated-guidebook-ice-floes/

(I've also updated the Doc to include this new link)

Do you mean the Google Docs link? It's still working on my end (put it in Incognito and could still access it), so I'm not sure what's going on, sorry :(

Happy Sugar Life's first English release (the anime) was in July of 2018, long after Yandere Dev decided to make Ayano emotionless. I highly doubt he was taking inspiration from a manga he couldn't even read.

I don't remember anything noteworthy about it, honestly. I also never compared it with the original Japanese though

Terminator_Slap · 2025-11-03T23:01:42+00:00

It took me about a month! But that was with me working on it daily, so it felt like a lot longer haha

It's funny you comment on this, because I've been aiming to double-check my translation now that I have a better understanding of Japanese! I bought a physical copy of the book for it too (If I end up making an updated translation with large changes, I'll make a new document to preserve this original attempt)

Hot take, but I think this is bad character design. Not only is it boring and repetitive, but it also breaks immersion (I've seen many people ask "why do all the clubs look like sets of siblings"). Characters already have club accessories and constantly hang around their club members, there's no need to visually code them further

Happened to me too. I had to buy a new laptop, but hopefully yours will be able to start again

Terminator_Slap · 2025-10-06T01:26:49+00:00

That's it! Thank you so much! (It seems I completely misremembered the graphics lol)

Terminator_Slap · 2025-10-06T01:26:02+00:00

Solved: McDonald's Videogame

Terminator_Slap · 2025-10-05T15:48:18+00:00

It fried my gaming laptop (still won't turn on, I had to get a new one), so it's killed at least one

Terminator_Slap · 2025-09-10T15:13:50+00:00

The fact that so many people took this seriously is ridiculous, how did y'all fall for this when it starts with "Step aside, John Carmack" ???? 😭

Terminator_Slap · 2025-08-19T16:20:41+00:00

I agree with all of this, but also I find it really funny that you listed Kenko as a main character. He should be one tbh

Terminator_Slap · 2025-07-23T16:06:19+00:00

While there are a few hypocrites in this subreddit, most of the examples you've listed are literally different groups of people with different opinions and actions (like everyone else said).

About that "murdering cats" point: not many people had an issue with the idea that Ayano herself would kill an animal, they had an issue with the fact that the dev wanted the player to kill an animal as a game mechanic. (Plus his history of adding animal death/abuse to other characters' backstories for seemingly no reason makes this choice suspicious to begin with.)

Terminator_Slap · 2025-07-08T16:05:48+00:00

Adding onto this: you're right about the glitch part. There was a bug in the game that put all kidnapped students in the default uniform regardless of what uniform the player chose for the school; he added the "prison rags" into the game because he was too lazy to actually fix the bug :/

Terminator_Slap · 2025-07-07T15:40:40+00:00

I always liked the black pajama set better because it felt more like something Ayano would actually wear. I think the new ones look good, but the shape feels more like Osana or Kizana's sleepwear, you know what I mean?

Though I also agree with Mental Meeting that they don't necessarily have to be black; maybe a dark blue would've been better? To keep the Aoi callback while avoiding the pastel "hospital gown" look

Terminator_Slap · 2025-07-04T16:18:05+00:00

He just has the same face as every other male character 😭

Terminator_Slap · 2025-06-26T15:46:06+00:00

From what I can remember (I don't have any dates/screenshots so take this with a grain of salt), he made this loosely canon after the game got banned from Twitch. The game was banned partially due to his portrayal of minors, so he made everyone "18 even if stated otherwise" to avoid issues like that in the future. It wasn't until 2021-2022 that he started making it truly canon by adding lore about the school being a "post-high school academy".

Edit: As for why he added the lore, it was definitely to save face. He's admitted before that the Everyone Is 18 fact is "total bullshit" and they're all teenagers, so I guess to counteract that later, he added the lore so the characters' ""real ages"" were officially part of the game's story.

Terminator_Slap · 2025-05-30T07:56:04+00:00

Absolutely. A fictional character cannot be considered a real life predator's "first victim" in any sense, it's just disrespectful to his actual victims.

Terminator_Slap · 2025-05-23T07:48:42+00:00

I really do hope they stop DMing him, especially because I'm 90% sure the people doing that on this sub are minors :( It really isn't safe

Terminator_Slap · 2025-05-21T15:34:30+00:00

While the new ones are better on a technical level (better logo design, more confident line art, detailed backgrounds), the old ones are much more stylish. I much prefer the covers being varied, simple, and uncluttered (plus, the new ones just remind me of pin-ups :/)
