(By HSQ I of course mean this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient)
I guess the title kind of says it all, but to elaborate a bit: I've been playing Scarlet Nexus since it came out, getting close to the end of Yuito's route and I'm enjoying the story a LOT. Sure it has its issues, but it's absolutely chock full of "holy shit!" moments, twists, reveals, all kinds of crazy shit, which has made it insanely entertaining to me. It's also absolutely rapidly paced.
So I'm looking for something similar in anime, manga and visual novels, from the last... let's say 4-5 years. I used to watch/read/play a lot of those when I was younger so if it's older than that, I've probably checked it out, but somewhere around maybe 2016 I kind of started losing interest and I think the only thing I've read/watched/played since were like... The House in Fata Morgana, Danganronpas and Uchikoshi games, One Piece manga and the first season of Attack on Titan? And a few episodes of Higurashi and Umineko.
Subject matter isn't that important, it doesn't have to be scifi or fantasy or even very action-y necessarily. I just want something that makes you go "holy shit..." often and isn't like... 50+ hours or hundreds of episodes or volumes long.
