But really, is Frosty female?
If so, then everything I know is a lie.

Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t.
Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die.
Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.

O piteous Wanderer.

that's my question for this new SF volume coming out.
I really hope it's not some kiritsugu expy or like maiya's kid.
That would be bad.
Actually Maiya's kid might be okay.

The manga... don't rely on the manga. That way you'll be pleasantly surprised when the next chapter comes out in 6 months.
The light novel translations here are a bit farther, IIRC. They went past Gil vs. Enkidu up to Hanza's introduction. Also there was a small thing from V2 about Hanza vs Jester.
The limits of first-person narration probably play a part too, though I haven't read the VN in a while so I don't remember what exactly it was like. But there would likely be a conflict in the wanting to describe the details of the scene, versus what is mostly likely to be noticed by the first person narrator.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
I like a lot of things that are aimed at young adults, but I think both western YA lit and this VN suffer from this. The limited perspective creates interesting space more misunderstandings and mystery, but it often creates this weird frustration with the narrator on the part of the reader.

Honestly, I haven't read many YA novels unless Harry Potter counts, so I can't quite comment on that end :I

basically the thing you need to just accept very early on in the f/sn vn is that shirou thinks with his dick.
I tried to read F/SN but couldn't get past--I can't honestly remember (something something daily life in the emiya household something something Shirou: Cooking Mama something something).
Would fast forwarding through all of that cause me to miss anything important?
I haven't read that many, but I liked The Hunger Games but felt that their structural choices were a major mistake for the narrative that they were trying to tell. And I think that this might also apply in this situation at times.
Honestly, I think how long everything takes is what's causing me to have such a hard time getting through it, too. But on the other hand, I think that domesticity with characters and setting a baseline for what they value when their lives aren't in danger can be used to make it matter more when their lives are in danger. But Shirou's pathological fixation on food and Girls Being Girls is sort of exhausting when it's all in his head? It's not even that his repressed fluster is a bad thing to me, as a character trait, it's just that it keeps getting rambled about.
