Breather Level: In Book of Shadows, the incredibly long 'Shangri-La' and short but viciously difficult 'Mire' are followed by 'Tooth', a short, straightforward episode with only one, very obvious Wrong End and no real risk of succumbing to Darkening.

And that ends up being one of the game's least weird aspects. If the title wasn't enough of a giveaway, the entire plot of the game is that all of the students - dead or otherwise - are forced to throw a birthday party for Sachiko.

Bizarro Episode: Corpse Party -THE ANTHOLOGY- Sachiko's Game of Love ♥ Hysteric Birthday 2U.

Satoshi also gets this treatment sometimes: Is he an interesting character that grows courageous in spite of the horrors that occur to him, or a bland designated protagonist who deals with his fears rather quickly?.

Others find her to be one of the more interesting of the main cast, and lament that her plotlines are usually overshadowed by others.

Naomi rubs some players the wrong way for her excessive Tsundere tendencies, and because she murdered Seiko while under the effects of the Darkening (though nowadays most have stopped hating her for the second reason).

Massacre, which serves as Sachiko's theme is awesome for being equally mysterious and threatening, setting the mood for the finale.

The ending theme, Confutatis no Inori is pretty sweet, too. Corpse Party: Blood Covered: Repeated Fear's opening, Shangri-La.The fact that she started the whole thing by casting a spell she found on a blog without thinking about it wouldn't have been too bad (since she had no way of knowing the consequences), but her complete refusal to think about what she's doing only causes more suffering to the entire cast. She's The Load for most of Blood Covered due to being possessed so often, which leads to the player having to tread very carefully to avoid getting a Wrong End. Furthermore, while she was the 5th most popular character (thereby the least-liked of the original five) in the first game, her increasingly stupid and selfish actions in the sequels caused her popularity in the west to nose-dive.

While Ayumi is very popular in Japan and China according to the same poll, fans from America take issue with how despicable she is under the effects of the Darkening (it does not help that Ayumi has the bad habit of being possessed at exactly the wrong time), and for her tendency to run recklessly into dangerous situations (or even cause them with her lack of thinking).

The fact that she also has romantic feelings for Satoshi, her own brother, is another huge black mark against her in America but is a reason she is liked in the East in one Wrong End, she will confess her feelings to Satoshi as she dies, guilting many disgusted players into lying that they love her so she can die happy (although just as many refuse to do so). Interestingly, Americans can't stand Yuka for the very reasons she ranks so highly in other countries her childishness comes across as grating and obnoxious rather than endearing (not to mention because it leads to an incredibly stupid Trapped by Mountain Lions plotline due to insisting on finding a toilet). With Americans, however, Yuka placed very low at number 10, is seen as completely useless, and many believe she only survives due to Plot Armor.

In Japan and China ◊, Yuka is the fifth most popular character, and she ranks 6th with Russian fans.

Alas, Poor Scrappy: Even some of Ayumi's staunchest critics found her fate at the end of Blood Drive to be tragic and excessively cruel.
