1. Unsure Which Short Story to Read First
Cause: Unfamiliarity with the open format of selecting from 13 stories
Solution: Choose an appealing story from the book's table of contents, finish it, and then move to the next
2. Cannot Reach Another Ending
Cause: Not knowing which choices change the branch
Solution: Keep a separate save before a choice, try different options, and compare how the story unfolds
3. Losing Track of the Plot
Cause: Confusion caused by the avant-garde structure or bleak developments
Solution: Review the characters and situation at intervals, and reread from the beginning of the story if needed
This sound novel involves opening a book called Kuro no Juusan and reading the short stories it contains. Each story unfolds as you choose among 3 options. Start by finishing a single story to get used to the format.
- ▸ Select and read short stories from a single book
- ▸ Each story progresses through choices with 3 options
- ▸ First read a single story from beginning to end
You can generally read the 13 stories in whichever order you prefer. Start with a title that interests you and record completed stories to keep track of your overall progress. Taking each short story as a separate session helps maintain a steady pace.
- ▸ Start with a story that interests you
- ▸ Record which stories you have finished
- ▸ Proceed one short story at a time
Many stories have bleak, hopeless endings, so it is better to read in intervals rather than take in too much at once. Losing concentration makes it easier to lose track of branches. Treating each short story as a separate unit makes progress easier to manage.
- ▸ Do not read too much at once
- ▸ Take breaks to maintain concentration
- ▸ Track progress by short story
