I'll ask again.
>>13198051
Anyone know where I can get a copy of Magical Kanon? With the recent revival of Terios and their release of Magical Kanon 2 I kind of want to read the first one but all I can find is the anime adaptation.

Playing Innocent Grey's Flowers. Just started, but god damn this is adorable. The art is great, too. I've heard about Innocent Grey's other works, and got all of their works, including those from Noesis. The UI looks good, too. A shame that Noesis had to get killed off because their lead artist left.

>>13198573
Regardless of your opinion of the rest of the game, she was an amazing character.

>In other words, Pia Carrot is a singular occurrence in the console gaming world -- a provocative work forged in the kiln of reality, but steeped in hot-blooded youthful fantasy. Between missed opportunities and general clumsiness, few boys actually live the way Yusuke lives, but Welcome to Pia Carrot makes such a life seem possible, even noble. The game lets you take your own wistful 20/20 hindsight and apply it to Yusuke's summer of love -- and from there build a better world, even if only for two.

This is too real for me

>>13198711
I just wanna say, I'm reading through his other reviews, and even though it's not really VN related, but this guy is a really good reviewer.

Monobeno.

>>13198789
Is she actually smug all the time, or is that just one face being photo manipulated onto other scenes?

>>13198762
You can't honestly think that's a good review.

>>13198830
I didn't read his Pia Carrot one since I haven't played it, but his Canabalt and One Chance ones were fine.

>>13198817
I wish, but it's the latter.

You should have included the release date while googling.

>>13198931
Ah, you're right about the date, thanks.

>>13198711
This guy's taste is so bad, that pretty much every eroge he reviewed was eventually translated. Thankfully he seems to have stopped.

Very future esque

>>13198573
I just finished 花咲ワークスプリング！trial via youtube. Screw gaijinblock.

It got lots of moege cliches but it was really enjoyable. Protagonist was quite entertaining and every heroine except yellow took my interest. I'm really looking forward for the full release . Also, Red's VA is obviously Hana Kiritani , it's quite rare for her to use some weird pseudo.

I downloaded 2DGF's ソレヨリノ前奏詩 from Sukebei, and got this. I feel dumb but I have no idea what to do. I tried mounting each of the five files, but all of them failed. What do I do?

What the fuck I just want cute sister...

Finished Dies Irae.
Overall I greatly enjoyed it (specially the endings) but it also dragged on way too long in quite a few parts.
Didn't even touch the other stories because I just wanted it to be over.

>>13199211

After stories are better left for post-KKK if you ever read it, they were written after and expect you to be familiar with it. Glad you liked it.

>>13199184
Use correct software, like Daemon Tools, and mount mds file.

>>13199184
Mount the mds in Daemon Tools Lite.

Then it'll be okay. When you install Daemon Tools Lite, be sure to choose the free licence (click blue text under the two paid licences it offers), to tell it to not share info about the images you mount and also be sure to properly skip all the malicious shit it offers you during installation.

Then after you install it go to %LOCALAPPDATA%Temp and delete file called bitool.dll, that's adware Daemon Tools Lite forces onto your PC.

Then once you run Daemon Tools Lite, go to settings and turn off monitoring what images you mount, cause as it turns out, turning it off during the installation actually does nothing, cause Daemon Tools Lite is a fucking piece of shit. Also turn off commercial offers etc.

Then you can mount the mds file and install the game. If you want to make it usable for some reasonable mounting software, then use Daemon Tools Lite to make it into a new singular mdf+mds form.

In short, fuck Daemon Tools Lite once more and fuck those who release VNs in this md0, md1 etc. form.

>>13199217
I'll leave them for that than, thanks.

I'll read KKK after I take a break with something more lighthearted.

Started 波間の国のファウスト

I laughed so hard

>>13199227
>>13199234
Ah, that worked. Thank you for all the advice. It seems that it's not cracked, though, despite 2DGF's summary. Am I missing something again? Or should I have downloaded from girlcelly?

>>13199294

>>13199294
Crack is in the torrent description on nyaa.

>>13199300
It seems I am colourblind. Thanks for spoonfeeding, anon, you made my day a lot less stressful.
>>13199234
I turned off wifi while installing, so I don't think it ever downloaded "bitool.dll", since I couldn't find it in appdata. Thank you for the warning, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Thank you everyone for the help. As a way to show some amount of gratitude: the baidu download worked when the "uploaded" didn't; and the baidu password is bpig, and I ran it from winrar. Enjoy your VNs everyone.

Finished 巨乳ファンタジー外伝2 yesterday and man, it's always the same mellow/sad feeling you get after reading a really good work. The last time I got his feeling I didn't read any new vn/book for over a year, I wonder how long this time it will last. The Kyonyuu Fantasy series is so, so good and it's depressingly sad that the Lute storyline is over.

I wonder if they plan on making a KF3? I think it will be a bit hard to have it set in Europe unless they take the timeline way, way back to the crusades and have the hero be based in Ottoman or something. But then they will have to write outside of the familiar european feudal lord setting. But man, what a series.

>>13199421
What order did you read them in? there's a lot of gaidens and a remake.

>>13199234
I didn't notice this until now

>>13199440

I read them in 2 > 2if > 1 > gaiden1 > gaiden 2

>>13199440
>>13199537
I'm reading them in Chronological release order myself.

>>13199537
Why did you read 1 after 2? Any profound reason for that?

>>13199544

No, it was just the order I ended up reading them in. If you asking what order I would recommend reading them in then chronological release would be the best.

>>13199552
>>13199543
Gotcha. Will do

>>13199552
Release order is best so the twists in the early games don't get spoiled and thus in the latter ones, like the reaper for Mahou and the Jar for Kyonyuu 2.

>>13199562

Where did the reaper appear in 2? I remember the jar appeared somewhere, probably in one of the non true routes in 2. It's a good thing though if the reaper appeared in 2 and I forgot about it because it was a one of my favorite scenes in the series

But yes definitely follow the release order.

>>13199593
The reaper appears in Mahou and Gaiden 1 and the Jar appears in Kyonyuu 2 and then Gaiden 2.

>>13199593
The reaper appears in Mahou and Gaiden 1 and the Jar appears in Kyonyuu 2 and then Gaiden 2.

>>13199604

Mahou? Or Majou as in Kyonyuu Majou? Just out of curiosity was that game's story actually any good?

>>13199660
>Kyonyuu Majou
Yeah that one and it's easily the weakest title in the series, gotta love how one of the heroines (best one in my opinion) dies and thus doesn't appear in the harem end. Majou's version of the whole "climbing up in society" is almost non-existent (due to the modern day setting) and while it's plot still does match up to the first release, it's just not as satisfying. Also due to retcons in the series later on, it has incorrect information about Ryuto and such.

Oh and the reaper does appear in the harem end patch of Gaiden 2 as well

>>13199697
>gotta love how one of the heroines (best one in my opinion) dies and thus doesn't appear in the harem end

It's even worse than that, the cast completely forgot about her and she dies off screen without it even being explained in the harem route. They even visit where she is turned into a stone statue and yet Nobody notices she is there, Just remembering it makes me mad and it just leaves a horrible aftertaste when finishing the game.

So, I finished Amane's route in fruit of grisaia a couple hours ago. I had a couple questions:

Are the other routes as long as Amane's? The flashback was like a novel in and of itself. Wondering whether I need to do every single route or not because I really don't care much about makina or sachi and if they don't have any major story implications I might not bother.

I'm probably gonna get the vita versions of meikyuu and rakuen after I finish those, but I can't find much information on how they fit into the original series. It seems like they're more overarching plot focused than character focused? Do they still have routes or is it one story? Figured this would be the place to ask since they haven't been translated before (I'd read them in jap even if they were though)

>>13200371
Makina has some pretty big story implications. And preferably you'd do all their routes (imo) because it ties well with Meikyuu / Rakuen, but, well, do what you want.

>>13200382
Ok. I guess it would be pretty dumb to do 4 and just leave sachi. Not like I hate her or anything.

So meikyuu/rakuen are a pair, right? Are they a retelling of the same story or like an alternate world? I read some amazon reviews but couldn't get a clear answer.

>>13200406
They're sequels - they chronologically take place in the future, with flashback shenanigans at times.

>>13200412
Oh? So do you like... pick a route at the start or something?

>>13200406
Meikyuu is mostly a flashback to Yuuji's past with some sequel hooks to Rakuen, which continues as if all the routes in Kajitsu kind of happened (all the heroines had their problems solved)

>>13200426
>>13200412
Ah, ok. Most of the reviews seem to think it's not as good as the other works, though they stop short of calling it bad. I'm pretty invested so I'll probably enjoy it either way, but did you guys have any opinion on the quality of the writing?

>>13199697
>Oh and the reaper does appear in the harem end patch of Gaiden 2 as well

What where? I have the harem end patch and there is basically no story elements in there. Does the reaper show up in the sidestory patches? I don't really feel like reading emuria's side story unless it actually has some plot to it and no one has uploaded estoria's side story.

>>13200467
Sorry, looks like i got the extra patches for Gaiden 2 confused. He appears in Emeralia's bonus patch. All that really happens in her patch is that she marries Ryuto

>Estoria's side story.
Yet another one of my favorite characters getting shafted, the only girl that we don't see with Ryuto's kid in any of the harem endings and because nobody uploaded her patch we can't even play her side story.

I thought the survey in the bottom right of pic related to be pretty interesting. Was a similar poll ever conducted in more recent years?

>>13200510
>dragon knight
That's some old school shit.

>>13200510
alright, this survey is even better, lel

>>13199201
I don't see any problem?

>>13198696
Is Noesis only available on mobile?

>>13199502
It's rather insidious to label it as vaguely as "Get more out of your images". And there should be a similar setting, this time labeled straight, in the "General" tab.

Personally I use WinCDEMU nowadays, much lighter and no worries that it's a Chinese "botnet". But some images simply only work in DT, that's when I momentarily install it.

>>13200801
No. PC too. Or at least I remember having the PC version in my backlog, so it must exist.

>>13200371
The common route is the best part and you can just drop the series after that.

>>13201071
I rather liked Amane's route. It wasn't as funny in each scene, but the greater plot was engrossing and I certainly wasn't bored. People talk about the common route constantly so I was kind of surprised to find just how involved each character's route is. I thought it would be short but it took me almost as long to get through Amane's route as it did to actually get to the choice where I chose her.

Next is Michiru, I guess.

>>13198696
Flowers was a bit too corny for me.

>>13201084
I agree Grisaia falls off after common route. If I wanted to deal with girls that have psychological disorders, I'd date 3dpd. Michiru is best girl, and the only reason I even bothered reading the VN and watching that god forsaken anime. Something about blonde haired, blue eyed, twin tailed tsundere that makes fall in love all over again. I know it's generic but I can't stop loving it.

Also, this is untranslated vn general, if you want to talk about Grisaia there are 2 different places you can go to, /a/ and /vg/.

>>13202105
I think its her voice actress. Shes navi in ocarina of time and akane suzumiya in kimonozo/muvluv

I usually don't have much of a problem with his character designs but

>>13202105
Well, I mostly wanted to know about rakuen and meikyu which are untranslated.

>>13200498
Wait, who is that?
I don't recalled I met him on Gaiden 2...

>>13202105
Michiru will win the Yuuji Bowl in the end of Rakuen. Her stupidness and innocence is so adorable.

>>13202160
definitely agreed, I will not play her route regardless of her VA or any other shit.

>>13202160
The other looks atrocious too.

>>13202264
The one on the upper right right?

>>13202267
All of them look atrocious.

>>13202292
Agreed. Couldn't they just hire a better artist? That shit is worse than Key's art.

I didnt know there was a new game from tiger soft 幻のディストピア
a game in Dystopia setting? That's great.
The writer is a new guy though.

mikocon or girlcelly?

>>13202829
can't go wrong with girlcelly, I trust them at least.

>>13202829
Nemu is my wife.

>>13202829
Whoever has the most seeder.

>>13202947
That usually is mikocon.
Faster even with low amount of seeds (old-ish games) even.

I was checking out all the portraits when I came upon this

Man i really wish someone had uploaded the estoria side story

Has elf an official Twitter account?

>To get proof of her indiscretion, he begins to film her with a video camera.
>Love lost, cuckoldry found, through the viewfinder of home video.

DLsite summaries have something poetical.

The sprite work in ソレヨリ is ridiculously impressive - characters turning around, walking beside you, all these angles... very impressive, this is a well-made VN.

>>13204071
>Control the images on screen from the POV of the camera.
>You can see many things, but don't get caught!
>If she knows you're watching, it's Game Over.
Five Nights of Cuckoldry. The game looks pretty interesting.

>>13204073
Too bad it's incredible boring so far.

>>13204093
I dunno, I'm liking it a bit. The lines are occasionally profound and the girls are pretty cute.

>>13204073
>>13204093
Too bad the homepage is gaijinblocked and there are no play movies on nico or youtube. Have any screenshots?

>>13204273
vndb has some. Screenshots don't do the game justice, I think, given the interesting camera angles and whatnot.

>>13204273
There's these cool walking sections where the background moves and the sprite (realistically) bobs to appear as if it's walking, I've never seen it before. The game is good at looking like every screen is a CG, so to speak. I'm pretty impressed.

>>13204353
Excellent. I've been waiting for this day.

>>13204353
Honestly, that screenshot doesn't look so great.

>>13204353
Lovely x Cation 2
Pretty x Cation 1&2
Imouto Style
Every GrandCross game.

Those has these, its fairly unique i guess.

>>13204433
I'm easily impressed.

>>13204441
Lets add Primal Hearts to that list as well.

>>13204490
Ahaha, now I'm embarrassed. I had no idea it was so common. Perhaps they're all using the same engine?

>>13204507
Actually its not so common, only 5-10 games have this but its not completely new & completely made by minori either. I also like it though, It'd be great if more games would use this. Full e-mote like witch garden may be a little too expensive but I'm sure every company can do at least this much.

>>13204441
Didn't MLA have walking sections like that too?

It's been a while since I read it so I might be wrong.

>>13204579
Nope. It had many more impressive feats, though.

Finished サノバウィッチ main route besides the epilogue.

Overall, it was surprisingly generic for what concepts it was based around. Little to no actual magic, and the MC's power might as well not exist as it is never mentioned outside from a few times in the beginning chapters. There's an aspect of time travel in Nene's route which I think could have been handled differently for some better drama, but I don't think the writers were trying to go for drama in the first place so with that in mind it's not too bad.
The main girl Nene has a sort of boring personality, but nothing really bad I can say about her other than that. I'd definitely say that Meguru was the best and most fun girl. If I find the time to play another route in between now and the 27th, I'd definitely do hers.

>>13204603
>the MC's power might as well not exist as it is never mentioned outside from a few times in the beginning chapters.
This happens so often and it's very frustrating every time. SOL always gets in the way of interesting stuff.

>>13204603
In comparison to Yuzusoft's last game 天色＊アイルノーツ, I think that Islenauts had a much better conclusion and more emotion within the main heroine's (Shirley) ending.
There was no real overall "plot" in the second half of Nene's route, so it just sort of ends after a point.

Why are trap specific games so unpopular and few?

>>13204433
But it has shiny coloring, that means its good.

Games where the girls don't make annoying sounds when you fuck them, do they even exist?

Why can't they just moan in a more sensual manner

>>13204603
Any possessive heroine?

>>13204579
That MLA fandisk has it

>>13204353
>>13204285
So is this game actually good?
The plot seems like cliche but can be something great if it's well-written

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uH7SlSz0PTE
> Which " kanojo " do you choose?

I cracked up there.

>>13205988
"chose", you mean.
Even so, I'm looking forward to this game myself so I can play Shimakaze route.

>>13205992
She is seriously the best girl. The gap between her normal attitude and writing in her messages really got me. Gap moe is best moe.

>>13205988
Finally checked all the heroines properly. Good thing they have a teacher again. Not having one would be a mistake.

>>13205933
I dunno. I enjoy it, but it does feel fairly cliche. The writing isn't bad, at least.

>>13206392
The writing is the best part of the staff so that's to be expected. I have no problems with the art, never understood what this thread has with minori art that they hate. The male designs suck, sure but the girls are fine.

>>13206412
I'm fond of the art too, though the ridiculous kyonyuu is a bit distracting.

>>13206412
I never liked minori's character designs because they always pale in comparison to the backgrounds and coloring. Their designs are the same recycled late-2000s style, except with slightly better coloring.

>>13205722
Ragusamuena or whatever her name is in Kamidori was the best sex scene for this reason.

Are there any VNs with heroines that appear overly polite or submissive but are actually headstrong and dominant? vndb doesn't help outside of physical appearance and sexual content.

>>13206563
I remember an anon showing Tsumugi-sama no Hanamuko Choukyou Nikki here and the heroine fits that description from what I remember. Not my type of favorite game, though.

>>13206597
Not a fan of hard BDSM, but I'll give it a try anyway. Thank you.

>>13206563
Caucasus' best heroine.

>>13206907
There were like, two girls I didn't want to see being raped in it, but Benio really was best.

>>13205988
Tried the trial and once again damn Japanese programming strikes my notebook.

2 cores both maxed at 2.7GHz, temperatures reaching when a sprite is on screen, even with e-mote turned off.

I fiddled with various settings and nothing helped. I can only guess this is supposed to be normal as a proper desktop PC with a recent CPU would have no problem with such requirements and wouldn't get so hot. But people with notebooks get fucked.

This is going to be a dumb question, but what do you guys do since 4chan x stopped updating? I always have to disable it, post what I want, then turn it on again. This is the only thread I browse on 4chan anymore.

Kiminagoman please go.

After dropping Electro Arms I started Vendetta. While the writing team seem completely unable to drop their silliest habits it works a lot better here. Instead of the lecture on SCIENCE! while hiding from the killing machine that killed your parents from Infinity we get an inner monologue on the nature of victory and defeat while the MC watches his home city burn. Instead of info dumping the most generic RPG rules ever like in EA they infodump future history.
What is slightly grating is that the voice acting and character don't really match. Does this look like someone whose every utterance drips with sarcasm?
Still I have a lot more hope for this than any of the others I tried.

>>13211895
It's nice having a name that's also a relatively common Japanese name.

>>13211917
The whole point of the Lovely Call system is that. I don't really care when protagonists have names and they're voiced, like in most other VNs.

Can someone recommend some good short moege VNs?

It's okay if you ignore the endings, but it's sure as hell not a moege.

>>13211270
I ended up dropping it a little ways into it myself. I figured I'd try it since the setting seemed interesting and I always see Light's games getting good reviews, but I just couldn't handle that much purple in my prose. The whole religion (cult?) worshiping the Japanese was what finally pushed me over the edge though.

>>13212864
I guess that's an option, yeah.
The nickname soundalike does it for me though because a few people actually call me that way. Which is why it would be nice if it had some common gaijin names for everyone else, but Japan and JAPAN SALES ONLY anyways.

>>13209905

You could say Shuumatsuron is not moege, but rest of series are definite and absolute moege. Even some shit like CraCra has more action and plot than first AkaGoei.

>>13213464
>How do you update 4chanX?

You uninstall whatever old form you might have. Mayhem's or whoever's you used before.

Then you install the updated ccd's one. And from then on out it updates autimatically. Or you can simply install a new version of ccd's 4chanX over the previous version and it updates. Also be sure to notice he has 4chan X and 4chan X beta. Those count as two separate scripts, so if you install both, it could be problematic. Personally I use the beta version.

Also if you want a working and updated OneeChan fork, there's Nebukazar's https://github.com/nebukazar/OneeChan
It's designed to work together with ccd's 4chanX. Personally I use that combination.

Is the 漢文 in KKK used just for power chants or do they actually contribute to the story?

>>13202105
>if you want to talk about Grisaia there are 2 different places you can go to, /a/ and /vg/.
Meikyuu and Rakuen aren’t translated.

Guys suggest me some game where heroines save the MC. I'm bored of solving heroine problems.

>>13214492
Conboku has a couple of routes like that, they help each other, but still.

>>13214492
遥かに仰ぎ、麗しの has it going both ways in most routes, especially Misaki's route where she herself doesn't really have any drama going on in her life unlike the other heroines. Though the protagonist's drama is the same shit in every route and you can't really play Misaki's route before finishing Sumika's. Damekoi is similar with the girls having their own share of problems, but also about the main girl trying to turn the salaryman protagonist into less of a pussy by helping him get a job and act more adultlike.
ひとりのクオリア is about solving the loli protagonist's NEET / hikki problem.
I only played through Aya's route in Lovely x Cation and don't know how other routes work (apparently some of them have some stupid drama similar to end of Aya's route), but at least the common part is about the protagonist overcoming his hikikomori tendencies by getting a girlfriend. The later games all seem to have a more blank slate protagonist with no personal drama whatsoever though.

>>13214753
I'm in the middle of Pretty x Caution and that sounds about right. I'm really loving the dating sims style and all the customization, though. You can change your name and the heroines actually call it in game, like in Love Plus. After a certain points in the routes you can also unlock other options. I'm half-way through Sakura's route and can change the settings so she calls me by my name, Senpai, or Onii-chan. You can also give the heroines nicknames and change H-scene settings a lot too.

>>13214778
But why aren't you in Komachi route?

Asa Project's プラマイウォーズ trial is out.
As always it will be another really great family comedy and slice of life moege.

I can't wait to play Mei and Aisa routes.

>>13214841
Because imouto/kouhai is best route.

>>13214778
Check LovelyxCation 1&2 and PxC 2 coming out soon.

>>13215156
>>Because imouto/kouhai is best route.

That's true a lot of times, but this time the teacher is the best.

>>13215291
Sakura's route was the best one in pxc, Komachi's was good too, I liked that it disregarded the teacher aspect almost completely.
Wish the next cation game just had the older heroine as a senpai in your job or something instead of a teacher.

DoguraQ when?

>>13216294
after Makki, Shoujobyou.

>>13214841
Just finished Sakura's route and loved it. Moving on to Komachi's now.

>>13215156
Thanks for the heads up. I was planning to play some other works by the same company afterwards anyways, good to know that they're good enough to be recommended.

>>13188461
Just finished Fione's route in Eustia.
That was totally more than a half hour dude.

In any case I enjoyed it a lot.

>>13216421
>That was totally more than a half hour dude.
Do you read at a snail's pace or something?
It's literally Fione being cute>sex>end, 30 minutes.

>>13216415
>good to know that they're good enough to be recommended.
Just remember to avoid Yuni, forever.

>>13216426
I'm I getting confused on where the route starts? I was considering it her route starting with this choice この場でフィオネに見せるべきだ.

Puramai Wars' trial is out. Time to go get it since I need some laughs.

>>13216440
Nah mang he just need to CTRL until she finally stops being retarded. Or at least read the appends.

>>13216415
Since you are new to them remember that the cation series has appends: after stories (One H and other non-H) released monthly so go download them at the site.

If you loved Sakura you are going to adore Hinata.

>>13216448
Don't exactly remember that choice, but her route starts [spoilers]when you make that choice on whether you kill 黒羽 or let Fione do it, I believe.[/spoilers] Every heroine has arcs, and at the end of the arcs there are short branches to their endings if you want to go down their route.

>>13216448

>>13216738
>Nah mang he just need to CTRL until she finally stops being retarded. Or at least read the appends.

Yep, you will CTRL the whole route.

>>13217638
Exactly. Get at least the CGs for fapping.

>>13217698
I don't follow that logic, I uninstall games after playing them, so there's no need to CTRL routes. Do you guys keep these games installed?

>>13217799
>Do you guys keep these games installed?
Yes, although I really should uninstall games I have no desire of replaying nor have to open to cross-check information

>>13217831
I'm surprised. Games nowadays are bordering on 10GB. How do you get so much space? Do you have tons of slave drives dedicated to VNs?

>>13217844
My computer's HD died about 4 years ago so I only have 4 years worth of games on it currently, it only just hit over a TB at the end of last year. According to my shortcut folder i have about 300~ VNs installed on it; I store all the .ISO and such on backup drives

>>13217868
Oh, main drive is 2TB and the backup is 4TB, it's not that much but i still have about 2TB spare inbetween them so I still have alot of room for breathing

>>13217799
I dont uninstall those games i really like wich is why i have LxC1&2 and PrettyxCation and some Nukiges.

I have yet to find a VN that makes me actually love the characters like L/PxC series has done for me.

>>13217844
I have bunch of 3TB drives in outside rack and connect them as needed via sata-to-usb device. About 800 VNs stored, with ~150 being installed.

>>13217898
I fall in love with every single girl I've ever played the route of.

>>13217907
I dont usually self insert because most VNs are about seeing a guy get laid so i dont get really attached to the girls. Cation series though are meant to immerse you by being the protagonist instead of reading someone else story.

I started play Ren'ai 0 yesterday. This shit is totally hilarious, I understand why /jp/ like it a lot. Also, I can't believe Hana Kiritani voiced this guy, I didn't notice until this scene which is quite hilarious too.

>>13217926
I don't self insert either, but my heart is very open and stuff.

>>13217945
Must be painful.

>>13217940
It goes down the shitter the moment you enter a route, Misaki ws probably the most consistent if only because Sakuya's is rushed as hell after the confession.

>>13216711
I guess I'll have to give it a try at least.

>>13216738
Shit, thanks for telling me. I was knee deep in that empty feeling you get when you finish the route of a heroine you loved, but knowing about the after stories let me enjoy Komachi's route again. Currently downloading all the appends very slowly through proxy. I'll look forward to Hinata too.

>>13216440
And is Yuni really that bad?

>>13218428
>And is Yuni really that bad?

Yes, unless you like fake lovers type of relationships

>>13218445

Just to add, not much of a spoiler, they do everything lovers do in all but name, then guilt trip on both parts. I can see what they wanted to do but it just leaves bad taste, where they both just jumped and slammed into the business.

Playing Hatsuyukisakura

Does anybody know any other characters like her whether its a anime or VN or something else?
With her cool composure and her tomboyish nonchalant way of talking.

>>13211917
Heh, I actually do have one. I call my Japanese high school alter ego Satoru. It's so pathetic but I don't even care anymore, I'm off the deep end already.

>>13218747
It's more pathetic to self-insert as your normal self. I don't get the retards who use their real names, there's no need to mix 3D and 2D. It's more fun to make up a self-insert character anyway.

>>13204441
>>13204490
I'm pretty sure Minori had the same thing in the first have of ef back in 2006. I remember being surprised about it.

I want to fuck Kawashima Rino. How much would she charge, you think?

>>13219154
Fuck you, now I can't imagine her as cute steampunk girls anymore.

>>13219164
Tell me your other VA waifus so I can ruin your life further

Speaking of kawashima, what's with her voicing characters I like from the beginning? Only exception I can think of from the games I've played she's in is Daitoshokan.

>>13218769
If you make it yes but VNs dont allow for character customization. MCs have their own personality independant of your choices and even with no face they have hairstyles (What if im bald?) so in reality the only aceptable way for customization is the name.

Besides self insert does proves that there is a mix with 3D and 2D. Otherwise you are getting ucked by the ingame characters.

>>13219297
>Only exception I can think of from the games I've played she's in is Daitoshokan.

You didn't like Aoi?

Well, I didn't really like her in the strict sense either, but I thought she had some nice scenes. I wanted them to use her character more, especially in Maho's route.

>>13219369
Yeah I never really liked her. I didn't really like Misono at first either, but she grew on me.

>>13219373
Senri was certainly better in her own route, yeah. I didn't really like her at first either. But maybe it's because she was a rival to Kana in Kana's route.

>>13219381
Being Kanasuke's rival is pretty rough, that's one hard to beat lady.

>>13219387
She gave up magnificently in Senri's route though, great confession.

>>13219395
Truly the best character, followed by KDC. Though I liked KDC less in the anime adaptation.

>>13219297
Gotta say Yosuke is quite the charmer. I like him so far.

>>13219387
Indeed, Kana is perfection made real.

>>13219395
Yeah, it was very elegant confession from her, but I was very unhappy to see her cry.

>>13220002
I love Soseki's confessions in eroge, especially in Kana's case, because they both share that literature bond unlike the rest of the cast, very personal.

Seems like Moonstone caught up in the fact Japan loves ladyboys from Tsuriotsu and made a new brand label and a trap game.
http://www.moon-stone.jp/product/ms20/

>>13220120
I unironically hope traps don't go out of fashion.

Anyone using WIndows 8.1 getting this? When I run a game for the first time the window is larger than it should be for 720p game, but when I full screen and then window again it's the proper size.

>>13220120
I really hope that fad dies out quickly, the vast majority of those types of games are just shit.

>>13220120
Nukige where traps get fucked is fine but trap MC who fucks all the girls is the worst plot for an eroge. I hope these never become a trend.

>>13220164
>fine but trap MC who fucks all the girls is the worst plot for an eroge
You mean the best moege plot

>>13220127
>>13220161
>>13220173
I think the biggest problem with it is not the fact that they are traps but the fact that it's just an easy way to recreate a harem setting for moege and then they all seem cookie-cutter if they don't expand besides that for the fact that MC is a trap. Would be more interesting if they dealt with the moral and social implications of it, but they probably just go into heroine routes instead.

>>13220164
They already kind of are, so how unfortunate for you, I guess.

I still long for the day we get a plot VN with a homo trap MC.

>>13220233
So, he tries his hardest to seduce and get fucked by other guys while plot happens?

>>13220250
So, he tries his hardest to seduce and fuck girls while plot happens?

>>13220256
But I want homo buttsex, not cute girls getting fucked.
>>13220250
Yes.

>>13220261
I was just clarifying the idea of porn in a porn game to the other poster.

How is Yukimura's route in HoshiOri? I'm a bit strapped for time so I'm really debating if I should just do Rikka and move on to something else given how long each route is in this title. In general, as long as it doesn't have retard drama I'd love it.

I'm currently replaying 愛姉妹IV and still I'm impressed how good the characters are for a nukige. I really hope Silky's Plus will have the same vibe in their games.

>>13220274
They don't have retarded drama, Rikka's route kind of spoils the main conflict of the route but otherwise it's really nice.
Rikka is best though.

This priest, man
No wonder his parish is closing to be honest

>>13220127
Same. I love traps in all girls school.

>>13220464
What's your favorite? Tsuriotsu?

Has anyone read this? How was it? https://vndb.org/v16802

>>13220661
I read the trial
It's pretty much a random narou LN turned to eroge, the protag is a wannabe Hachiman with special invisible to zombie power and he get his own zombie waifu (who somehow doesn't rot and look exactly like a living person for no reason)

The Puramai Wars trial was hilarious. If they can keep it up, it'll be even better than Renai 0 Kilometer.

>>13220840
Renai 0 Kilometer wasn't that great anyways. Yes "common route" was awesome and hilarious, but the the heroine routes were really really bad, specially Nokia.

>>13221328
Seems to be a trend with comedy moege

>>13198573

I'm still hyped as fuck for the official Esdeath dating sim.

http://www.minatocarnival.com/anekouji-sd/index.php#

>>13221560
I'm just hoping Jackson at least got a sizable chunk of it.

Never thought I'd see a reference to "that" in a eroge.

>>13221747
Jesus christ.

>>13221560

I was hyped for this but then the trial was fucking 100% stale Takahiro bullshit. Majikoi: お姉ちゃん Edition is not what I was looking forward to, there are already too many of those games to begin with. I'm going to wait until EGS or some other people have played it to see if there's anything worth reading or if Jackson even got a chance to shine, otherwise I will be passing on this one.

>>13221747
Haha that's wild. Confirmed for kamige even in Japan.

>>13221747
Are they talking about KS? What the fuck

>>13221802
Yeah, judging by the dialogue after that I'm guessing whoever wrote the game really enjoyed it.

>>13221747
>>13221822
Funny how this just cycled around, originating as a Japanese sketch, being actually made overseas, and now back into an actual Japanese eroge. That's crazy.

>>13221822
I wonder if he used a Japanese patch? That's wild. Perhaps this is the beginning of a trend of Japanese people learning English for EVNs. Hahaha!

>>13221844

not that anon but i can understand his frustration. thanks to this board the only japanese i can understand are phrases like
>お兄ちゃん、中出し気持ちいい

>>13222021
I think his question is based on the fact that this is a thread of Japanese novels, so only someone who knows Japanese could participate... hence the confusion.

>>13222021
Big Brother it feels good?

I can recognize vagina, sex and dick in japanese but no thanks to /jp/ based MTs.

>>13222040

"ooh, the pleasure of being cummed inside". i heard over in >>>/a/djt that this phrase is quite common in conversational japanese

>>13222073
That cant be it because お兄ちゃん is oniichan and 気持ちいい Kimochi. 中出し do seems like cumming.

>>13222093
It's "the pleasure of cumming inside of oniichan."

>>13221747

Just finished myself. I don't find myself disliking any characters so far which is good, but the writing really keeps me going because of its fun mix of speech nuances and actual wording.
Left me wanting to see how they develop the (overused in pop media) childhood promise trope with Tomoe. Aisa feels like a less random Risa and Minori is cute. I'm probably going to go with Mei though, I hope the character routes at least keep some sort of humor in.

>>13223027
It ends up working out pretty well.

>>13223027
She's cute as fuck and it's the only route with significant development for the MC.

>>13223693
She's already hella cute as a kid, I-I just don't like the idea of a daughter figure as a heroine. I'll keep reading though.

>>13224092
At least the age difference between both of them isn't that big, unlike Usagi Drop

>>13229759
Himanatsu is good, but it isn't really like other Makura games, so don't go in expecting that.

>>13229759
I started it this week, haven’t had too much time to read so still in the beginning but it’s okay so far, seems rather calming but melancholic. The only reservation I have is about one of the heroines because >>13223027 (for now she really is cute, though).

Currently at the point where they just refurbished the secret base. Wondering though, when does the OP kick in? I think all characters are introduced by now.

>>13230125
The OP is around the end of the common route.

Oh god this is so great. Its my first route so I cant say anything about others, but Aori's route is definitely better than every route from Ren'ai 0 kilometer. The balance between moe and comedy is just perfect.

>>13228925
She does bully you/the MC. In fact, after the trial, she only bullies you/the MC.

>>13229082
In theory it is questionable, in practice it kinda works out since she is one of the points that causes conflict (and thus events to read) while only being "conflictive" between the characters in the story and not everyone else, so she doesn't come off as a huge bitch... mostly. And yes, she has many negative traits which is why I'm interested in how they'll resolve or try to justify it in her route. The childhood promise thing kind of doesn't give me many hopes though.

>>13229972
Does the timeskip only occur if you go into Hina's route?
Or is it part of the common route.

>>13230294
It's only in her route.
