I finally read Noah a decade after finishing the original game. Honestly, I don't get why C;H and Noah have separate VNDB entries, it's still the same game.
The main flaw with C;H is the pacing. It reads like it was meant to have 12 chapters instead of 10. For the majority of the plot nothing happens, information is drip-fed to you, then near the end you get a big big info dump and a rushed action sequence. The entire concept of the game is underexplored with "heroines" barely having any screen time.
For Noah to really work, they should have rewritten the game into having conventional routes instead, but no, they took the lazy option and each "route" is essentially an extended bad end with an annoying ladder structure like Eustia. Except you don't even get an H-scene. Yes, they do add more context and content, but they are NOT worth skipping through the game 6 times. Seriously, that was fucking retarded. All heroine intermissions could have been unlocked on the second playthrough without the need to numb the player's brain waiting for the skip to reach a smidge of unread text. "Routes" also had unskippable chunks of text from the common route (a crime against humanity).
I mainly wanted to see if the claims of anons here that people shouldn't bother with Noah and read C;H instead were true and yes I can confirm that now too. You are not missing anything by reading OG, only a couple of funny scenes and a little bit of weird background lore. Both TLs for Noah being bad is also a big detriment. You could try reading the OG TL, then switch to patched Noah, skip through the game and read the "routes", but only if you're autistic and really fucking love SciADV for some reason. If you're a JOP, I guess you just read Jap Noah and that's it.
As it's the same game, it remains 7.5/10, additional content doesn't impact anything important. Changes to the true ending are cosmetic, that part was a pure meme by anons.
