/jp/ - Otaku Culture

There's this https://vndb.org/v17215 old doujin game. It's pretty unheard of among western fans but it's got something of a cult following jp-side, or at least there's a decent amount of fairly recent fanart for it.
This is a tangent but it basically seems like there was a parallel world of BL free games that were popular in the 00s, mostly I think among teens who weren't in a position to buy the legit ones. Sometimes you see a currently working free game dev list works they're a fan of and it's a list of totally unfamiliar people, you look them up and they were incredibly popular once upon a time but there won't even be a vndb page. Being free games they were just not in the same ecosystem that existing foreign fans at the time would have come across I guess.
On an even further tangent slightly related to the last one I came across an old webcomic called 胎界主 in those same lists which has loads of old fan wikis and was apparently pretty popular (it's still running and has an active 5ch thread even) but has zero hits in english at all. It's stuck in my mind because it's very bizarre looking and sometimes it comes back into my mind, I wonder what it's actually about, try and figure it out from the descriptions and come up with a blank (I guess it is like a lot of webcomics that have been running for 20-ish years where it's so large and bloated it's hard to sum it up). Anyway, I kind of always assumed even the most obscure japanese media was at least listed in english wikis somewhere due to weeb autism but apparently there's still some stuff out there that's unknown.
