What I've learned today: if you're not a dick about it and treat them with the same basic decency as you should any new person you meet, an isekai'd anime girl may not go full psycho and things could go pretty well. on the other hand denying their sentience and treating them like they're still an inconsequential game character is just asking for trouble.

But castoria *is* an npc, she was written by devs to love anyone who picked her rute, she was made to love, not to be a person like, plus it's a romance novel (I think) so girls on those mostly don't have personality, rather a type (tsundere, kuudere, dandere etc.).

To be honest, I find even the 'good' ending chilling. Her asking protag to delete the game was more than just her not wanting them to fake-date more fictional girls from her game, she outright tells them 'i don't want you hanging out with other people'. That, alongside her insistence on being together forever and her claiming she wouldn't leave even if mc tried to force them out throws up a looooot of red flags. There's no true good end.

You definitely have impressive writing chops; I was expecting Castor/Castoria to have clearly demarked personality 'modes' as it were, but to my pleasant surprise, they never fully lose their sweet/malicious sides during their dialogue. Some of their most disturbing lines have an innocent cadence while lines I wouldn't have really thought twice about otherwise constantly made me brace myself as potential lead-ins for the protagonist getting maimed. It's a balancing act of character writing that I applaud you for; I hope further development of the story goes swimmingly.

This is a little hilarious as I agree with Manly's interpretation of it that this is poking fun at yandere fans and those who dismiss the "vanilla" options in dating sims, but I do like it. Given how possessive some of the lines are even in the happy ending, I think the protagonist is probably doomed in the long run no matter what, but I could be reading too much into it.

She REALLY sounds like one of my exes. And she would have "acted" that way with that fake "happy" tone as well, I'm pretty sure, the way she talks is so similar. This VA is obviously very inexperienced and just sounds like a casual person trying to sound "cheerful".

Y'know, as much as I feel bad for Castoria and think Protag's a tactless, senseless dimwit, I can see where he's coming from. He can't help it if he doesn't like her character and probably found other girls' and their routes more interesting. I do think that tactfully and kindly saying that he wasn't interested in her wouldn't have worked tho. That girl's used to being the main love interest in a dating sim route. She may not comprehend rejection-especially from the guy that she confuses with his in-game character whose lines and personality were decided by her creators.

She really doesn't want to hurt him as I see it, genuinely care for him, then again maybe it because of her written destiny. She being obsessed over him might have to do with the MC in the game that she always with; fighting bosses and dying. What I would do is sent her to jail, she'd be out experiencing the real world, truly free from this shackle and maybe realises that she probably never loved MC. There are so many posibilities.

Monika: "Everyday, I imagine a future where I can be with you." Castoria: "Hold my Route."

Imagine an epilogue where the childhood friend mentioned in the beginning comes to visit, remembering the promise they made and since the MC has been isolated ever since the events as far as she knows he doesn't have a girlfriend. So she's ready to marry this guy only to learn that some videogame waifu spontaneously gained sentience and manifested in the real world.

Her stabbing herself non lethally over and over was so much worse than her just stabbing MC and being done with it, THAT was unpleasant.

Both Castoria & MC had valid reactions to the situation, in my opinion. Imagine you've gone on an adventure with someone, been with them through their darkest hours, and then they suddenly say they don't care about you? I'd be pretty pissed too. But MC obviously didn't know that the (as far as they knew) fictional character in a game they were playing was gonna come and confess her love to them. I'd be freaked the fuck out in their position. They both did shitty things, and both of their actions make sense as well for the most part.

Castoria can't deal with the players rejection when she is brought into real life because within the confines of the game, she knows the player will inevitably complete all of her routes. To her, the only ending to the story is the player falling in love with her, because she is not allowed to interact with the player outside of the confines of what the game allows her to see. for example, if she sees the player perform a heroic action within the game, then as far as she is concerned the player is a hero. she can't understand that the player is anything else because the game doesn't show her the player themselves, only the stand in for the player, which is really only characterized by the choices the player makes. the irony is that even in her world the player is a pre written character destined to be her lover, so when the player is initially scared by her, she can't comprehend why because as far as she is concerned, the player is acting outside of their normal programming.

Truth be told i can even understand why she would be upset at being rejected. She left a world she knows to be with a guy she thinks she loves only to find most the comments was him being kinda angry with her at first. If Castoria has some emotions last thing she would need is being stressed out as soon as become real. If MC was calmer with her and questioned her calmly he might of understood the situation they are both in. The knife wouldnt of even come into play given Castoria was likely confused.

What I like about the whole metaness, is that you can feel when she's going yandere on him, there's a very visible doubt in her choice, constantly asking the protag for approval of her doings, i mean in the end she doesn't want to hurt him at all, she herself thinks this is wrong and she is not herself doing this, but yet she feels her actions are validated because she's being unpredictable, something apparently the protag holds as a trait of interest on a character and maybe even a person, since she wants him to love her that badly

I think it's just genuinely unsettling that in the beginning, she casually breaks the fourth wall throughout the gameplay and not even in a creepy way.. I think it's weird how she casually talks about her "route" and stuff

Yandere : Pros - 100% love u - will do anything to make u happy Cons - might restricting your life (cant go anywhere without telling her, cant hang out with your friends till late, etc) - 'Yuka Takaoka incident" (or something similar) will be repeated once more if not "loyal" to her

The meta concept of a character knowing you want to start a route with a different character reminds me of "YOU and ME and HER". Check that out if you want some psychological horror.

Really enjoying how by simply trying to be nice and not put your foot in your mouth (as much), shes much more stable and willing to listen, and even on the Bad End Route her dangerous behaviour is, at least at first, moreso a result of existential confusion about the difference between "A route in a video game" and "Actual real life" and wanting the MC to find her interesting than any desire to hurt them. Like, shes not emotionally or mentally stable, but its possible to get along with her if you actually try to show her understanding and calm her down when shes having A Moment instead of berating her.

Seems like this game is looking at the inner workings of abusive partners and domestic violence. Gaslighting, physical + emotional abuse, isolation from friends and family, preventing them from having hobbies (games) and constantly demanding shows/ demonstrations of love and loyalty. Threatening them, belittling them, using things (the knife and her name) to permanently tie themselves to their partner so that leaving is 'impossible'. In the NSFW version, using sex as emotional blackmail. This is textbook abusive partner stuff. Very intense.

Honestly, the good ending is more unsettling than the bad one. Her only character trait is that she desperately wants to be with you. No hobbies, no interests, no passions or life goals. It's a self-destructive obsession that's inevitably going to take its toll on her sanity. She already wants you all to herself, not wanting you to be around anyone but her. That's going to cause trouble sooner than later. All the good route does is delay the inevitable.
