What Is Bai Qu: Hundreds of Melodies And Should You Care?

What is Bai Qu: Hundreds of Melodies and are you pronouncing it correctly? I can answer the first question, but don't come to me for an answer to the second--I think it's "Bye-Cue," but I could be wrong (and probably am). Bai Qu is a visual novel about a young man who befriends a young girl and there's probably more to it than that, but, sadly, one thing gets in the way of Bai Qu reaching any kind of potential greatness: the localization/English translation. That's not to say there aren't other issues with the game--the art is lacking and the script could use some cutting--but the weakness of it's localization and translation makes it hard to engage with the story as a native English-speaker, especially if you're like me and mildly dyslexic with reading comprehension issues. Given that story and reading is 90% of what a visual novel is, give or take an extra 9%, that's kind of a problem.

Anyway, that's it and that's all folks. You can get an even more in-depth discussion by listening to the podcast and, if you're feeling extra generous, you can become a patron, donate a little something, or subscribe to show your support for the site, the podcasts, the streaming, the videos, the art, and everything in between. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to consume any of the content I make and thank you for being a fan. I can't begin to express how much I appreciate each and every one of you. Cheers.
