Wow.. Now that you’ve put it into words, I really hope they remake his route just like that. Everyone hates him just to hate him, I’m glad you feel he deserves more love and interest in who he is for his route instead of just hating him.
Yeah totally. I really do think he has a lot of potential. The devs even mentioned in a recent blogpost that his storyline didn’t have as much emotional strength as the others. In a lot of ways Kounosuke has the most potential to have an extremely emotional heart-rendering plot exactly because you wouldn’t expect it from someone like him. They could also explore his feelings as an older brother watching his younger brother grow up. There’s a lot they could’ve done but didn’t and it’s really unfortunate.
I will be a hipster and say Ishimaru. 8D
character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: Who else except Oowada?
brotp: Fujisaki
general opinions: One of the things about Ishimaru is that even though he’s a caricature of someone who values order and rules above all else, I found him strangely relateable at times because I’ve found myself many times in my life where I was surrounded by people I found extremely reprehensible and doing as they please without understanding the consequences of their action. So yeah, I think Ishimaru is pretty cool.

ship with: This is a toughie! But I have this crack pairing idea of him and Shin because I find it hilarious in my head when two utterly contrasting personalities argue. Though I don’t know exactly who I would ship him seriously with.
brotp: Tatsuki. I think a good nurtured friend like him can keep Kounosuke in check…at least when Tatsuki isn’t drunk.
general opinions: Okay real talk. Kounosuke tends to be the most polarizing character in the game and most of the time people don’t bother critiquing his route, instead they choose to hate directly on him. Ostensibly, it’s because he’s annoying and irresponsible, but I think truly a lot of people hate him because he holds a mirror up to them and reflects parts of themselves they reject. I really like Kounosuke personally because he reminds me of some friends I’ve had in the past who are all people with good hearts.
I really hope he gets a rewritten route. For example, they could’ve used the fact he wasn’t so good at exams as a way to explore Kounosuke as someone who isn’t conventionally smart. I feel Kounosuke is smart, just in other ways like one would see described in Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence. I would’ve liked to see his route go in a direction where you help him discover he isn’t some one dimensional ditz, but rather someone with a ton of potential as a lover and as a person.

Considering opening up commissions just to get the Cyberconnect Kemono Books . I’m really considering it because these books look really cool.
I don’t know why I find it hilarious that a drawing of Kounosuke I did got more notes than a Renamon one. It’s like wow Kounosuke congratulations, you beat Renamon

I don’t normally update it because I’m rarely in the mood to draw NSFW things but I do have a R-18 blog over at zenzensbizarreadventure
I want to make a visual novel and have an unlockable mode called Slumber Party mode where everything is the same except everyone is in thier pajamas the entire game.
If you ever have trouble writing a character, ask yourself “What would their bedroom look like?” and work from there.
