Is there anyone who have a good idea on how to cure coughing?

I wouldn't be surprised - even if most VNs are basically just slideshows with a few decision trees mechanically, if there wasn't people would have to reinvent the wheel whenever they made one.

That's true, yeah.

And to be fair, one could stretch the medium mechanically, perhaps even visually and make it more along the lines of maybe a comic book that you could play...

If your throat is itchy you're dehydrated. Honeyed tea. Honey for the mucus, tea for the throat.

Or get some cough mixture.

That will help, or honey tea, but I actually find salted caramel hot cocoa to be more effective. Basically whatever warm soothing beverage is handy...

*Shrugs* people like sex fantasies, and who can blame them? Though these days I go more for the cute romances, anything explicit has been much less interesting since I started taking anti-androgens and said goodbye to my libido.

And I thought that I watched too much anime!

Though technically I haven't recently, I'm stuck with slow potato internet until the fibre gets connected. Looking forward to that!

In the interim I've been reading fanfic, some of which is really good. Including one I really wasn't expecting - you may or may not have heard of Katawa Shoujo, which is a visual novel or dating sim or something in which you play Hisao, a boy who suffers a heart attack while attempting to confess to a girl in his class, and gets sent to a school for people with disabilities where he dates various girls with disabilities. Anyway, Mean Time To Breakdown is an AU story in which it's the girl, Iwanako, who has the heart attack, and it's really very good. Never read the original visual novel or whatever it is, but this writer is good! I found it by putting "best fanfic" into Google and going through a Reddit thread of nominations.

Did someone say Katawa Shoujo? Damn, I kinds miss playing the game proper.

I've actually played/read only first two books at series because they were only ones at local library.
And only first five books of series were ever translated into Finnish.
