[MENTION=25364]Decalcomania[/MENTION]; No you're not worthless, you don't have to read the VNs if you don't have much time, you can read the light novel adaptations, they're still pretty mind-boggling though less entertaining without the CGs. If you like thought stimulating and psychological concepts, Type-Moon titles are a must read.
[MENTION=35321]Evangelionheart[/MENTION]; FSN was probably the 1st VN I played unknowingly and about 3 years ago I think, I was pretty noobish back then and didn't know about 2nd/follow-up playthroughs and did only one route. T.T I really didn't know, just got a number of bad ends. It was on my pc so now I'll have to DL it again and try to get 100% this time. Atraxia is still not full translated right? Thanks for the heads-up for those two routes, I don't read walkthroughs unless I'm stuck for 2 hours. XD
