So the way this was presented in the guide I picked to use, the whole path to the good ending is shown, and then it notes when separate saves need to be made; the bad endings are then started from those extra saves.
It means it is easiest to play through and get the good ending first, but the info below should be easy enough to use to play the bad endings first if one so desires.
Do note that we voted to not include bad endings and extra CGs and such as part of the playthrough, but I don’t see a good reason to not include the choice info here. But feel free to skip those and focus on the good ending. The good ending is what will unlock the part we read after this one, so it is necessary while the bad endings are not.

Discussion Rules
OBS! Since bad endings are not an official part of the book club, please put any discussions of those under its own spoiler, and not mixed in with spoilers/discussions of the good ending.
Please use spoiler tags for major events in the current chapter/part and any content in future chapters/parts.
When asking for help, do your best to provide context. Pasted text, screenshots, descriptions, etc. Unlike book clubs we can’t flip to relevant pages, so we may need a little help identifying exactly what is being discussed.
Feel totally at ease to ask questions or give your thoughts, any time! Clubs live and die by participation, and asking whatever question you have, no matter how silly it may seem, helps others who are reading it and even the answerer themselves.
Have fun, and do your best to interpret anything said with as much good faith as possible

I’m reading along
I have finished this part
I’m still reading this VN but I haven’t reached this part yet
I know ヘルベチカ doesn’t get much love, but I really think he’s fun, looking forward to his route!
Also, calling it now, hoping that getting romantic with him will be by attaining a score of 100/100
Just finished this part! Ended up appreciating Helvética more than I had so far. The ‘bad end’ that I got first was also pretty interesting I thought.
My fave part of this one was definitely the Moz+Scarecrow+Shuu Halloween cooking antics. Love it
Also the thing about the routes getting darker and darker seems somewhat correct? This one felt about level with Moz I think, the stuff with Helvéticas past was pretty hard going but there was more silly group hijinks to balance out the serious stuff. I thought the theme of Helvética choosing their identity etc was really good and worked well with their role on the team etc
Damn, my prediction was wrong, I think I only got up to 71/100 points
I also got the bad ending first but wasn’t sure for a while that it was the bad ending (would have been more obvious if he had died), so that was interesting.
And yep, pretty dark, both his past and the story. Limbo was really chill compared to Mozu and Helvetica!
Also I’m very curious to see what happens in chapter 5 and 6. Does Teuta has a boyfriend there or they turn the story so it’s not mentioned? If not do they take a default boyfriend or the last boyfriend unlocked?

I’m also so curious about this! I wonder if they might let you choose? Or my other theory is that maybe all of the character paths are alternate paths and chapter 5 and 6 are Adam? I will be very surprised if he doesn’t either turn out to be a romantic option or some kind of antagonist
Yeah could be something like that. I don’t have any strong feelings about Adam, but still not over Luka being killed and it has not been explained yet x_x
Going into this one really hoping I’ll be surprised but not too hopeful at the moment, plus (extremely vague spoilers about the previous routes) if this one get’s even darker than the ones before I’m pretty worried.
Finally getting back to BU$TAFELLOWS now that I’m free of school things, and oh boy what a time! I certainly expected to end up having feelings about Helvetica once I went through the actual route and… yeah, no surprises there really rough times all around! I don’t think I have any specific comments really, just that seeing Helvetica (and others) repeatedly broken down like that was definitely ouchies. I continue to love all the found family dynamics too, they all care about each other so much
I am so concerned about Scarecrow fear only
I also suspect that it’ll be more general centering around the big picture plot (which I am also very suspicious that Adam is related to yeah), especially thinking about there being a sequel? I would think there would have to be some sort of canon ending for them to work from
A lot later than intended but I finally finished this. It took me around 9h so a bit longer than usual.
I guess it was better than I expected? But it’s not really that they justified or fixed the shitty behaviours he had in the common route, more like it was ignored and he mostly behaved during his route (or was too busy dealing with traumatic stuff to do anything too bad). It was interesting to see more group interactions after barely having any last route. This one got pretty dark as well, and the bad stuff affected the character directly so I’m…scared for Kuro. I have to say I was a bit disappointed that Helvetica’s face was exactly the same as before even though he burned himself pretty badly, felt like a missed opportunity for character development since they already went there, but I guess it’s kinda forbbiden to change otome character’s faces? And him speaking Spanish was hilarous, I didn’t even recognize the language at first I guess it wasn’t bad, at least Teuta seemed clear on what things weren’t nice. I’m not super sure I completely buy the romance this time but maybe Side B changes my mind idk
