I'm incredibly torn on starting Baldr Sky. if I go in with the mindset of it being fun but nothing special with good gameplay and take a long break between 1 and 2 will I be good?

Dunno if anyone care about this, but the Switch port for Deep One have the prologue for 領界侵犯, so it's not vaporware
yet

>>45496361
It seems absurd to me honestly. I don't know about you guys but I like very loud and detailed sound in my games. I want to hear the seiyuu's every single breath so it's at home on my setup or nothing.

>>45496387
Half of the people are skipping all the voices here anyway what are you on about

>>45496395
I know the stats do suggest that people do actually that, but I genuinely cannot comprehend that mentality. I suppose it's some obsession with consuming as fast as possible, but are you really consuming the product if you're skipping voices? I mean why even play a moege if you aren't hearing the cute voices of the heroines?

>>45496361
At the very least they are reading, that put them above the rest.

>>45496566
I think even tiktok features reading these days? Like how they subtitle every word the influencer says.

>>45496581
They literally are forced to have a minecraft parkour video on a side because zoomers are just unable to concentrate on that text otherwise

>>45496581
There is a difference between reading garbage on twitter and reading a book

This is a demonstration of my bravery.

>he "consumes"
>he doesn't read, study, and reflect and analyse

>>45496464
I listen to the voices in moege but for other stuff I'm too impatient since I want to move on with the story.

>>45496663
I study Japanese. That counts right....??

>>45496676
Nope. A mindless drone can study, but only the 武士 reflects on art.

About how long are the routes in musicus?

>>45496163
You won't want to take a break between games but that's the right mindset to have. I think it's special in how much it gets SF sloppiness right.
Make sure to play on Hard.

TinkleBell updated their twitter description to say
>最新作【輪舞曲Duo -夜明けのフォルテシモ-】を越えるスケールで、現在【太陽のオルゴオル】を鋭意製作中…！
Could it perhaps come out in the next 5 years?

>>45496899
You mean very hard

>>45496991
I did mean very hard. Thanks.

Do you correct the MC if he says some nonsense you disagree with? Like you speak from his perspective to the characters and take the words back, and state a more based opinion?

I weathered through the sex marathon and suspense returned. I don't know why but the Oneesan finger scene with Remi talking had really dumb writing? I did the Bad End first. Tako brigade calls forth another storm like in Maruri Bad. Kyouhei gets his head bitten off. Really? I don't know the truth yet but the real death/tako memory manip/disappearance thing is inconsistent right now. Good End leads to the bloody entryway scene. My memory must've been fucked with too because I remember anons posting that CG from the trial. That can't be right. So now Maruri is the childhood friend, PC is still kaput, again no siren on Monday morning. I don't get how some of this works. How did Amane remember loop stuff when she was't much in the route? Who and how was a map created and put inside the bloody shoe, and without getting drenched into unreadability? There's so much I don't know yet and hope the writer explains it without retarded magic or BS like everything was so flawed BECAUSE Sharkness Life is a B-movie itself. Thus no answers and no logic. B-movie = naturally shit, so B-eroge is the same haha clap. Well I want this route to finish soon. I like Remi when she's a side character but can't stand her as a heroine or route invader.

>>45497155
No. I just pretend I'm another character (not him) and call him a ホモ

>>45497155
Always. If he uses 「僕」, I make it a rule to restate the line with 「俺」.

>>45497155
Just try to look at yourself from the side, sitting in front of the screen and arguing with 2d characters
Looks kinda schizo to me

>>45497155
I modify the game script to make sure he only says correct things

>>45497214
*insert "gigachad" picture here*

I literally just started this, but having background characters in CGs is always nice.

>>45497173
Maturing is realizing that a man should use 僕

>>45497251
How so? Perhaps there is credibility to this idea since based Kageaki used it iirc.

>>45497251
How about in monologue he use 僕 and when he talk he use 私？

>>45497255
Actually one of the things that struck me the most about Kageaki is that he was autistically polite and always spoke appropriately depending on the situation. I'm used to MCs, especially in chuuni games, being rude assholes all the time.

>>45497251
Maturing is overrated, i just stick to the 拙者 from the start

>>45497255
Thought he used 自分

>>45497285
A true samurai. Unconcerned with trifles such as vain pride. I realise that when he dogeza'd to the yakuza.

What is your guys' daily routine to emulate 景明?

>>45497156
I liked the Funabori counting thing in this route the most. It was sinister as fuck, especially since I did Remi first.

>>45497155
MCs who say they like big boobs induce a lot of rage in me because I like only flat chests. That always breaks immersion.

>>45496123
Chisato is annoyingly cute.

>>45497241
I wish lively background is more common

I know I'm asking the impossible, but does anyone know if there's an online copy of this guide? Not that I need it, there are a thousand more guides on the interwebs, but it seems to have some cool special artwork.
They are reselling it on amazon but the shipping alone would cost me an arm and a leg.

>>45497537
retards care more about virginity and amount of hscenes nowaday, so don't bother lol

>>45497537>>45497582
Yuzusoft always manages to sneek in heroines of previous games in their backgrounds.

>>45497613
sneaking heroine vs making bg feel alive with actual people and actual faces in it is a different matter

>>45497582

Why haven't we gotten AI powered eroge yet?

>>45497286
Samurai speak is basically old man talk.

>>45497808
Because AI is much less powerful than you think and Japan has fallen far behind the modern IT curve anyway.

>>45497633
How does caring about their past works "soulless?"

>>45497829
Why would you want them to "keep up?" The latest 16Bit episode showed that it ruined the otaku scene in Japan.

I hereby declare war against Unity and against all who use it.

>>45498222
I call on the ayatollah to issue a fatwa against Unity.
We must have Unreal for 3d, KiriKiri for 2D eroge.

>>45498222
I don't get why devs are moving to it, the usual engines work just fine than that piece of shit
It's not like they need all the fancy features in Unity for a mere slide show

Finished Silverio Vendetta (except for wrapping up the last couple appends and side stories).

Fantastic chuunige, and probably one of my favorite VNs ever. I don't think any of the heroines are as good as Chitose or Vendetta, but it's way better than the first in pretty much every other respect. Crow and Helios are the coolest guys. I'd highly, highly recommend it, although obviously read the first VN in the series first. I have absolutely no idea what's even left to do for Ragnarok, considering they rescued Zephyr (and presumably also Vendetta herself? - I do wish she'd played a bit more of a role or at least gotten a line) from the other dimension, but I'll read it after a cooldown period.

>>45497156
>My memory must've been fucked with too because I remember anons posting that CG from the trial
Isn't that CG in the OP for like a fraction of a second, which was in the trial?
>There's so much I don't know yet and hope the writer explains it without retarded magic or BS
There is an explanation, which I liked personally, but your mileage may vary. But yeah, it's basically that the villain behind everything and manipulating everything actually isn't that smart or good at plot structure, and this is a point the characters discuss in detail and take advantage of to win. It's like if Alan Wake was a shit writer.
>>45497320
Funabori Onee-san counting is great, I just wished they had actually bothered to draw a second hand instead of having her count up then count down on one hand.

>>45498160
Yuzuges are way too important to enjoy them that way.
They are not meant to be played around people.
They should be enjoyed in a dark room on a big screen.

>>45498242
Ragnarok doesn't have direct involvement with the other characters and they're only mentioned indirectly. One of the Trinity side stories introduces a bit of its plot

You should go to a mental hospital with that shizo shit and go through with explaining to a psychiatrist that you don't think all heroines in such a clear pure love game as Aokana are virgins. They should know how to deal with this.

>>45498276
Too bad Unity backpedaled and the CEO who initiated it left the company so they seem to be gained devs trust again

>>45498285
Congrats anon, you just entertained the troll

>>45498288
They backpedaled on applying it retroactively to anyone using unity. It still applies to new versions of unity going forward. So if a company already has a license and existing version they're fine (besides a lack of updates and support, which VNs probably don't need), but a new company would have to be insane to pick it up.

>>45498284
Didn't Role Player already do that?

>>45498294
I entertained myself too. Just a bit though.

>>45498303
Not really? The animations were pretty lengthy and elaborate, but it wasn't like realistic fluid simulations or anything.
I don't think you'd want realistic fluid simulations, I doubt anybody's made a cum plugin.

>>45498276>>45498299
So Unity has finally managed to make developers literally pay for piracy?

just called my gender psychiatrist and they told me virgin obsession is toxic and unhealthy

Alright, I guess I'll give this kusoge a shot until Yuzuriha's delay is confirmed. I genuinely don't know anything about it, are there even routes? Is there a recommended reading order? I'd look it up but I'm worried I'd get spoiled accidentally.

>>45498528
You should've called evolutionary psychiatrist who would've told you that virgin obsession is healthy and evolutionary advantageous.

I was going to, but my 4chan psychiatrist told me it wasn't a good idea.

Yes, it has routes. I think the order is mostly enforced thoughvso don't worry too much about it.

Yo, this nigga is actually depressed.

>>45498631
On the contrary. I'm just one who doesn't like to "just like... stop thinking brah and smoke weed!" but like to follow ideas to their conclusion. The subahibi ideal is what ultimately would lead one to depression and destruction.

>>45498636
Being pretentious isn't healthy.

>>45498650
This, which is why subahibi pretending to give any kind of meaningful answer to the questions it posed isn't healthy and believing in it isn't healthy.

He's set in his ways. He'll need a powerful enough external influence to change his views.

Doesn't really mean it will be in three days, she streamed some trials before, and it took weeks for them to be released.
But yeah, no more delay it seems

>>45498932
I was also like him before. IIf a VN changed my views then I'm sure there can be something for SCA-JI-san as well.

Agreed but the sphere razer scene in Vendetta is still my favorite part. I've reread it a few times because it was so cool.

>>45498285

>>45499030
Final route is the main reason why I prefer Vendetta over Trinity. Not only that SPOILER moment but in general and the common route was more enjoyable too thanks to Vendetta herself. Zephyr is also cooler than Ashley.

The gameplay is not good. Maybe once you beat everything, do the optional arena thingy far enough and unlock higher speed it's serviceable. But even then it's not good.

Windows tablets are either cheap and can't run anything because they suck dick, or they run decently and cost an arm and leg to buy.

>>45500693
I use a Surface Go for eroge and it works pretty well. Some games don't work very well with the touchscreen, but there are workarounds.

>>45502444
Isn't that Android? I've yet to encounter a low cost modern Windows tablet.

>>45502617
I bought a $80 Chinese Windows tablet a few years ago. It runs just about as well as you'd expect, struggles to even render 800x600 VNs from the 00's, I'd tap on the screen and it'd take a few seconds to load the next line.

>allowed his troops to rape a bunch of kids

>>45502690
Hell, the very first Surface should be able to handle it.

How hard is Senmomo? Never really read anything historical before so I'm looking up almost everything during the prologue. Can I expect that to remain constant throughout?

>>45497320
>I liked the Funabori counting thing in this route the most.
It wasn't in the 3 other routes so to me it was new the first 2 times. But something about the direction is off. Kyouhei replies and Funabori raises the count sometimes randomly. Then in the scene with Remi, Remi blabs incoherently and the count is raised for Kyouhei? Not like he had anything to do with it or could've prevented Remi from talking. And what felt off is that Remi goes on and on while Kyouhei panics and Funabori acts all creepy.

>>45498255
>Isn't that CG in the OP for like a fraction of a second, which was in the trial?
I don't remember the OP and didn't read the trial. All I know is there were anons posting the CG saying how shocking this scene is and it not being a pure moege. I think they also said the trial ends with that scene.
>There is an explanation, which I liked personally, but your mileage may vary.
I am now past the cave and stopped at Maruri sobbing in fetal position on the couch. That was a lot of reading with many reveals, explanations and new questions. Remi's last 2 H-scenes are nowhere in sight so this could take another 3 hours.

As for the reveals, not a fan. A military base for submarines. Slave trading in the past. Kyouhei, Amane and totally not Kuuko working together as agents or something for a dying spriteless ancestor. Old guns, torpedos and other shit. This is really out there and changes the story direction. There are too many plot points that don't fit smashed together. It's really like a cheap B-movie.

As much as I want to like Samenana there's too much bullshit, repetitive padding and heroine bloat. I understand now why some advise to read Remi first or last. It's much longer, reveals more things than others do, spoils some reveals from other routes too, and with all the events happening feels like the main route to finish things off. To quote an anon "It feels the most complete." I think that's why it shouldn't be read first unless you only want to read 1 route and want to stop there. From my experience Maruri was also a bad first route that soured my view of the VN. Amane and Touka are good starts.

Lastly, fuck hat hypocritical BITCH Remi! Kyouhei falls in love with Maruri? Remi confesses, kisses him and does everything to steal him from Maruri up to starting a threeway relationship. In Remi's route after the reunion in the cave when she hears that Maruri now plays the childhood friend role? Remi seriously accused Kyouhei of cheating and was jealous. Fuck you. YOU of all people don't get to claim dibs and monogamy after what you did. She should get cheated on. Kyouhei should comfort Maruri next and then all others can have a go while Remi rots int the cave. Then she can become the 5th wheel and eat sloppy seconds. Route invaders and forced harem shit make me anry.

If you had said that he passed the N1 in that amount of time just by reading vns, it would have been believable, but you have to go out of your way to learn how to write kanji. Just reading won't teach you to write them, especially in such a short period of time. Sorry but I call bullshit on that.

>>45503216
I was talking about the quiz on Discord, it had all kinds of yoji and rare words from the higher Kanken levels

>>45501132
No. That's cope by retards. I've seen endless zoomers fail learning Japanese while plenty of older people have succeeded without any problems. In fact, language learning is better suited for the later generations and is an oldfag hobby. Some of the best known polyglots are old and have started late.

At least something good has to come out of AI, right? I mean, I imagine things like this help tremendously all the japs who are creating their dream VNs on their own.

>>45503838
There's literally no point bragging you're a zoomer if you're some dried up goblin. That's it dude lol. The Japanese hate ugly people.

>>45503893
Yeah, I'm optimistic that at some point when all the pieces come together it will help fuel those passion-driven solo projects. But we'll have to wade through a long period of cost-cutting profit-driven shit before we get to that point.

>>45503782
The future is going to be so cookie cutter it hurts.

Grim future

So I started playing Dies Irae (AA) and finished chapter one. Got the message saying 'a side story has been unlocked'. I start it and think it's pretty weird that a side story set in the past has a picture of MC and one of the heroines in what seems like the present day timeline as a cover. But I keep reading and then it's back in the present. I think, 'I guess this is longer than I thought it would be' and expect it to end at the end of the scene. But then it keeps going and going and it doesn't feel like a side story at all, just a continuation of the first chapter. What is this structure? Is this something to do with it being frankensteined out of multiple versions?

>>45504443
Look at them as an additional context to certain events that were omitted in the original
The first one tells you about Shirou, the second one tells you about LOD formation, etc
Each of them is extremely important to understand the story so read them whenever they get opened

>>45504895

>>45504895
Dicks aren't kawaii when they are limp...

Man this Miki nuke is surely the worst mechanic in the game
It never procs when you actually need it and it's literally required for so many parts, had to do 20+ loads for this one...

i was never able to relate to the people who say yuzu's sub-heroines/routes are better than their main routes, until Tenshi Souzou. Orie and Fumika were incredibly cute, and the main routes were really a let-down compared to the previous few Yuzu games ( though the characters themselves were great)

Yuzusoft is just way too sterile for me, it makes me feel like I don't belong to their universe for some reason

>>45506318
There's an unrealistically high proportion of patient, forgiving, and generous people in their worlds. I like it though

>>45502669
this is actually a really well done choice thematically. you can kill him for moralistic reasons, but for what? youre just losing an army commander, this game wont reward you with some other gameplay bonus for being a good boy, unlike other game that has such choices. youll just have to bite the bullet and look away, like military commanders have always been doing when their troops act out of place

>>45506741
Well in this context letting him go would lead to others repeating it eventually which goes against Rance's main principle that every cute girl in the world belongs to him, and he doesn't care about his units either way so there is no way he would allow a dude to go after breaking his rules
But it's definitely a tough choice for the player side since you only lose and gain nothing so you have to decide whether you go with the immersion or the efficiency route
Or just be a savescumer like me and don't bring him to the fights in the first place

Why is Ikusa Megami so slept on here? It honestly can go toe to toe with Rance.

>>45507194
This thread didn't even care about Geminism until it was out.

>>45507154
Plenty of popular Chuuni that have those traits.

>>45507277
What does that have to do with Rance?

>>45507277
So you answered it yourself, there are plenty of similar popular rpgs with a premise like that, surely it must be pretty good but from the first glance there is no reason why you should choose it over literally anything else
Meanwhile Rance allows you to play for an actual antihero for once which makes it already stand out on its own, the games being actually really good goes only on top of that

>>45506504
Anon, being of the same race won't exclude you from the famous Japanese bullying. There's an incident recently where a JC committed suicide (she actually died) because she was sexually abused by her upperclassmen and they shares her lewd vids with the whole school. When the mother contacted the school here is literally what the vice principal told her
>１０人の加害者の未来と、１人の被害者の未来、どっちが大切ですか。１０人ですよ。１人のために１０人の未来をつぶしていいんですか？どっちが将来の日本のためになりますか？もう一度、冷静に考えてみてください

>>45507343
>JC committed suicide (she actually died)
As opposed to committing suicide and not dying?

>>45507343
Pretty hot. Whens it getting a VN adaption?

>>45507252
That's because is not important, the only thing that could be considered important that is coming is the yuki onna biman that is coming out considering the "prestige" biman has, yet i don't think many anons here will want to read 2 hour long sex scenes, at least i wont.

>>45507374
I'll just use the animated h-scenes.

>>45507343
I thought that shit only happened in eroge

>>45507325
All that says to me that most of you are a bunch of fickle book cover judgers.

>>45507343
That principal should share the same cell with those 10 for life.

Dangerously based, kids shouldn't pay for the mistakes of their parents, if anyone has fault is the parents for raising a little shit, same with the teacher allowing that to happen.

>>45507440
Hm, bar rock? Must be rock music they play in bars.

How did you force yourself to read in Japanese in the beginning?
I know the obvious answer is "read something enjoyable" but that doesn't really work for beginners because no matter how thrilling the VN is, if you're reading it 10x slower than usual because you have to look up every other word, grammar, etc., and piece it together to figure out what the sentence is saying you will be bored all the same.
Maybe I just don't have the resolve and/or discipline; I only ever managed to get halfway through half a dozen moege without even finishing a single one.

>>45507486
Play Pokemon then work your way up from there.

>>45507486
>no matter how thrilling the VN is, if you're reading it 10x slower than usual because you have to look up every other word, grammar, etc., and piece it together to figure out what the sentence is saying you will be bored all the same.
Worked for me because piecing together what sentences meant was fun.

>>45507486

sounds like the problem is that you don't like moege

>>45507486
I weaponized my hate towards americans and translators and used it as combustible to fuel my japanese learning

>>45507458
It's the parent's parents fault for raising them that way

>>45507486
You need to be extremely racist. My Japanese skills rose immensely when I became obsessive for 2D and started to hate the westoids around me. If you know or talk to any EOP scum into this hobby, ghost them immediately.

>>45507555
Blaming parents won't solve anything, there always will be some percentage of bad parents no matter where you go
The main blame should be on the school that can't be bothered to deal with those issues

>>45507591
It's the fault of the JC for being cute.

>>45507343
>１０人の加害者の未来と、１人の被害者の未来、どっちが大切ですか。１０人ですよ。１人のために１０人の未来をつぶしていいんですか？どっちが将来の日本のためになりますか？もう一度、冷静に考えてみてください
It's funny because if this entire thing happened to a black kid in US, it'll be a fucking chimpout.

>>45507343
still seems not as bad as having to constantly worry about your kid getting caught up in a school shooting

>>45507591
Schools aren't psyche wards. They're not obligated to play psychiatrist to every weak pansy in its school rolls.

>>45507343
This happens a lot. I don't mean gang rape in schools, but authorities telling victims to drop it/go for an "alternative dispute resolution", i.e. consolation money. One of the reasons why Japan has such ultra low crime rates. There's a reason why the yakuza flourished so much. They would settle shit like that.

>>45507591
>Follow western ideals because you want to be like the west
>Force women to work because we gotta cautch up in pbi

>>45507578

How?

>>45507631
how would they settle this particular issue or ones like it?

>>45507607
We should give 銃 to kids as well.

>>45507609
Schools are supposed to have a child psychiatrist but they do literally nothing in practice, the actual ward would be definitely a good addiction

>>45507591
It goes both ways. If you sincerely think it's not the parents' fault, you clearly don't understood how it is to be in that position.

>>45507682
My guess is terrorizing the perpetrator's families for exorbitant amounts of compensation money.

If you care about learning Japanese at its entirety, you'll need to throw out whatever surrounds you and read everything in Japanese every chance you get, especially if you're from a Western society like the US. Consuming anything in English and breathing in the same air as those lower than you (westoid mongrels) delays your learning.

Sorry, but I don't consume your zoomer brainrot. What's really precious is people here thinking anime is real.

>>45507912
Surely you don't believe this is true. It was probably a survey by some magazine for sluts of 100 women and 84 said they were okay with cheating, which became "84% of Japanese women cheat." That's usually how these things go

>>45507486
I read something short. My first Jap VN took like 2 weeks. I reread it several years later and it took 2 hours.
That feeling when I realized I can actually complete a VN was a good motivation to move forward.

>>45508101
What do you achieve from destroying other people's delusions?

>>45507188
But most games aren't even announced until closer to release.
>>45507860
Prostitution, a lot by kids running away from home during covid lockdown since they didn't want to stay with their families. Also college girls trying to pay off student loans.
>>45508054
Yeah, I think that was where it started getting interesting. It does drag a bit later though.

>>45508116
Also rereading right after finishing is quite good way to learn more and be able to read faster.

>>45508112
Numbers can be twisted, but there's enough evidence of cheating being a very normal thing in Japan. It's not even a new thing. I remember reading about foreigners in Edo-Japan and how they were praised for actually honoring fidelity in marriages.
>>45508122
All delusions are harmful.

>>45508161
>All delusions are harmful.
Then why are you engaged in the most delusional medium of all?

If you want to talk about Japan, you can do it somewhere else other than here.

It doesn't, because I have gone beyond the philosophy of すば日々 and accepted Christ.

Just started White Album 2 on my PsVita, huge regret cause I’ll miss the H scenes which seems add a lot to the experience but fuck it, it’s long and my time actually reading eroge on pc for hours is nonexistent
This is my first eroge to console experience and enjoying the prologue so far

>>45509571
> I have gone beyond the philosophy of すば日々 and accepted Christ
You’re probably trolling but I’ve noticed people actually going beyond what Scaji portrayed in Subahibi/Sakuuta and keep obsessing over the same idea for their whole life are really rare which is so strange to me
Maybe Kastel the only one who’ve done it

>>45509473
No

>>45508227

Loopers plus https://key.visualarts.gr.jp/kinetic/loopersplus/
Expanded scenarios, after stories and new music/art

>>45509700
I'm not trolling, by beyond I meant rejecting and refuting the philosophy, not trying to find an even more hardcore version of it. Subahibi to me is nihilism-lite.
You mean most people don't follow it but treat it as just a piece of consumer media? I didn't fully get your point.

>>45508227
Hopefully they can recapture what made making lovers fun.

>>45510285
>You mean most people don't follow it but treat it as just a piece of consumer media?
This and not much try to go beyond “ limit of my language is the limit of my world” or “ live happily! “
There’s too much to explore in Wittgenstein later life too
Rejecting the philosophy altogether and choosing the religious route is another way too
My point is that everyone seems too obsessed with what Scaji thought of almost 14 years ago and they don’t try to update their own view on it

>>45510383
When you put it that way it's weird indeed. I haven't read his other works but surely even his own views have gotten more 'sophisticated' or developed. Does Sakuuta have a 'catchphrase' that explains its philosophy?

>>45510219
Cough cough... b-but i thought china was suppose to kill key with mobage and gacha...

>>45510402
Sakuuta is a bit more extension, adding Wittgenstein view on art, mainly “ The work of art is the object seen sub specie aeternitatis; and the good life is the world seen sub specie aeternitatis. This is the connexion between art and ethics. “
It’s more extension of the same themes seen in Subahibi
His latest SakuToki is what been advertised as “ what lies beyond happiness “ and give grand conclusion t to the themes seen in Scaji past works
And I haven’t touched that so we will see

>>45510478
>and give grand conclusion t to the themes seen in Scaji past works
Now i call it bullshit, the 5 chapter goes literally against all the themes that he was building so hard in Sakuuta
People who keep praising that garbage seem to really have no idea what Sakuuta was about and just keep throwing random quotes and cool words to look smart

I don't understand, their higuest rated game took place in adult life, why don't stick with the setting they are strong at instead of doing this.

>>45512204
Highschool is the best moege setting.

>>45512204
Shit art anyways. It also didn't help Making Lovers, that a school girl was literally best girl.

>>45512204
They're not doing school setting, it's girls dormitory. MC is a working adult and all heroines(except token hag) are younger than him.

So Geminism was just a Rance reference all this time...

>>45512235
>except token hag
All of them look like JKs

>>45512370
Top left blue haired girl is a hag.
She's older than MC and is overworked stressed oneesan type, as director said on today's Smee stream

Now we're talking.

Damn the old fag got the drip

>>45512415
Hopefully is for the "I CAN FIX HER" crowd, i realized i tend to like heroines more when the MC helps them overcome some big problem in their life.

Heroines that fix MC are the best.

I need more eroge where the menhera bullies the MC

Pure Gyaru bros... where are our games...

>>45514146
bro? your yubisaki connection?

>>45499011
based UMPC fan. I will get the GPD win 4 to live out my childhood fanatasy of having a PSP sized computer and then play all my eroge on my desktop anyways

geminism started well, but quickly lost momentum. by the 第三局, i feel like i've experienced everything the story had to offer, and everything became dull to read. the interactions between 月白 and 淡墨 are fun, but everything else is disappointing to say the least. so uh, how close am i to the ending considering i've just started what is supposed to be 桔梗 最終局 ? i don't think i have enough steam to handle any of that shit anymore unless the story start to get magically kino

>>45514737
Shinku side is mostly just sol scenes because most of the fight text is repeated that you can skip, then there will be flashback sections and a cool ending sequence but i doubt it will impress you much if you didn't like the heroines
If you liked the dudes interactions then you are probably going to love the epilogue at least

>>45514737
If you didn't like the SoL scenes then you should just drop it. The VN is literally girls doing cute things with a slightly somber feel and a bit of mystery here and there.
>how close am i to the ending
You are halfway done, but as the other anon said, you can skip the repeated text in Shinku's route.

>>45503972
I already use the custom chat feature some VNs have to talk to my favorite heroines more. If I had access to a perfect copy of their seiyuu's voices I'd write whole extra scenes.

>>45507486
I put Dekinai-tan's picture on my desktop, opened it every time I started my computer, and didn't allow myself to close or minimize it until I'd studied that day.
Procrastination was impossible while she was giving me that smug knowing stare.

In your case I would recommend reading something like ウルトラ魔法少女まなな which is ludicrously fast paced with a new plot twist every twenty lines.

Do Whirlpool have any good games I should play? Or should I just read the new one when it comes out?

If the VN doesn't have any options to customize the font and text window, I instantly drop it and delete it from my computer.

It's literally that simple.

Am I allowed to start a new VN if I am already reading another VN or is that disrespectful to the author/characters? Maybe finish the route and then intersperse the two VN?

It's a visual novel that focuses on gameplay and doesn't have much story, like call of duty. There's also moviege and bookge.

Gameplay focused title, in this case Rance 01.

>>45518300
