Who's experiencing Little Busters for the first time with this Bookclub?

I’ll have to give it a shot when I eventually get to the VN, at the very least the name makes it sound amazing.

Definitely not my first time reading Little Busters!
I think this time around, I’ll advance slowly and have the Japanese and English text on top of each other. Heck, maybe I’ll do only Japanese at easier sections.
I’ll use this game as an opportunity to develop my reading skills, as well as re-reading the story I’ve come to love.

There’s also Harvest Festa, right? I still need to read Planetarium and Summer Pockets.

Why? I’m certain the story is good (probably not as good as LB! though). Too bad it’s gonna be spoiled by the upcoming OVA before an English release happens (I hope it happens!)

He didn’t have anything nice to say about Cradles Tale either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

For sure! The Little Busters’ activities and the club activities in Higurashi definitely have that same high-energy vibe. It’s something that made me enjoy the common route a whole lot. Goofy kids just being goofy kids.

I’ve seen the anime, but I’ve read none of the VN. The LB anime is one of my top 3 favorite anime and I’ve heard the VN is even better. In fact the reason I found out about Kazamasuri was because I was looking for info about the Eglish release of LB! I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it!

This will be my first time. I’m trying to keep my expectations level, but I’ve seen a lot of hype for this since I showed up to Kazoku.

It’s also my first time here. Although I have completed Key’s VN on PC, I rarely play VN key. The last I played was Little Busters Ex in Kud’s route. I will playing it again but I sad because I must leave the VN that I read (TOT)

It was a edgy game (。ŏ﹏ŏ)

Wait. You said it’s your first time, but you’ve read Kud route?

Ah I mean it was my first time, I started when kazamatsuri open LB podcast. Then stopped on Kud-chan

It’ll be my first time experiencing Little Busters as well, haven’t seen the anime unless it would be better to watch it first.

If you’ve made it this far without watching the anime, definitely do not watch the anime first.

I never read the fantranslation but I have have seen the anime adaptation.I guess you can say it will be my 1st time reading it when it comes to Steam. I loved the anime so much. I can now enjoy reading the visual novel.

I’m pretty new.

Just from the hype, the expectations are set quite high! But from my little experience with Key and their product, the quality is going to be very good. I did see some gameplay trailers with those minigames… those are going to be interesting for sure!

As far as the story, I’m assuming it is going to be made with the similar formulas as other novels, but I hope there are a lot of twists.

I’m mainly hoping I can actually keep up with the club!

I’ve watched a little bit of the anime, but all I really got to know is Guts, Courage, and Friendship.
So you could say I am new to the story.
Also, as for what I expect, I want a solid storyline since everyone has stated it as Key’s best work and I would be depressed to see plot holes in it.

I’ve seen all of the anime, but I’ve never played even a sizable amount of the VN. (I just downloaded the fan TL a long time ago to test out LB! on my PC) So essentially, I have no experience with the VN and I haven’t the slightest clue why people think the VN is way better than the anime.

I expect that I’m going to go through the story and the world of Little Busters in a very different and somewhat interesting fashion. I’m not expecting too much about the concept of the VN being better than the anime, but I’d be happy to see it become true.

For those of you new to LB! or VNs in general, keep in mind that much of LB!'s beginning is a fairly slow slice-of-life. If, like me, you enjoy the genre, great! If you’re not sure, give it a try anyway.
You can request a refund for Steam games so long as they’ve been played for less than 2 hours and owned for less than 10 days.

That being said, 2 hours is not nearly long enough to make a reasonable decision for a VN like this. Personally, I feel that at least 2 routes should be completed before you decide if the game is worth keeping.
It’s a great game with a fantastic story so I encourage all you new readers to see it through to the end.
