Was there anything noteworthy about that safedisc version other than nanomites and obfuscated imports?

>>45687181
I didn't even notice that there was another thread. It's not mentioned in the last thread and it doesn't even have a thread title. I don't know how OP of that thread expected anyone to find it.

>>45687241
nta, but yeah, OP fucked up. at least you did this one quickly

This will be the year of yuzusoft

>>45687334
It seems unlikely they will release something new this year. Maybe next year if we're lucky.

>>45687241
my bad imokano bros. we'll get those moebutas next time.

>milk factory remaster not uploaded
Sad. Do I have to wait for the DL version?

>>45687137
Damn, makes me realize that I need to finish this garbage dump of an overrated eroge. Dropped it midway of the Graduation route. People said it is peak... But it's even worse. I want to say that Hatsuyuki Sakura peaked at the end of the prologue but even that was mid at best. What a disappointment. Doesn't help that the MC is insufferable from start to finish. At least the Shirokuma loli masturbation h-scene was halfway fappable. 3/10

No idea if I want to pick this one up again to find closure.

Just started reading Monkeys. While I certainly wouldn't say it's bad, the humor feels pretty forced. I still enjoy it, but it feels like I'm reading something trying to be funny more than something actually funny.

>>45687575
Felt the same and ended up dropping it because of that

>>45687479
It's on ryuu

>>45687479
Isn't a free patch you can apply to the original?

>>45687597
Not certain I'll stick with it. Depends whether romance will actually be any good or if it's just the same comedy through and through. Doesn't help that the protagonist's va doesn't sound male at all, nor does the protagonist look manly at all so it feels more like he's a reverse trap than a trap...

Love my ghost. Kudos to that anon a few threads ago.

>>45687928
Which one did you get? I was thinking about setting it up too

>>45687935
I like this one, it's pretty cute. Think the other anon recommended it as well: https://cherry.narnaloader.ukagaka.net/ghost.php?ghost=tntn

>>45687640
>>45687661
There s a full HD remaster and there's a dlc patch for the old version, the dlc does NOT turn the game into HD remaster, it just add scenarios, which are already included in the HD remaster.
full HD remaster is nowherever to be seens.

>>45687928
>>45687935
That anon also got me hooked on these ghosts kek. That same day I found a thread where the jap discuss the most popular ghosts:
https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/subject.cgi/computer/44300/
So far I have only tried [Peace Maker] and 人体視願／ヴィイ and both have an extremely detailed lore, it's insane.

>>45688161
>it's like Mr. Clippy, but a cute girl with autistically detailed lore
only the Japanese

>>45688176
Yeah, that would basically sum it up

>>45687557
It would be wasted on your dogshit taste so don't bother

updated version of the jopge chart

>>45687640
>>45687661
What >>45687994 said

>>45688299
Thanks for the recs since I was getting kind of hopeless. Now I'll just read everything here.
2024's looking good.

>>45687187
It's on my list along with Tosatsu no Sono. The rest of what that writer did looks like generic nukige so I wonder if any of those are actually meta too or just regular nukige.

>>45688299
Most of those are decent/good but at least a few are mediocre/bad. Good starting point though.

>>45688353
I could count at least 7 that were shit, but I got tired of looking anymore

>>45688299
I love Riz, don't get me wrong, she's an excellent girl.
But I wouldn't recommend Seishun Fragile to anybody.

>>45688353
>>45688371
I'm pretty sure it's just a person taking a bunch of untranslated games from companies that people talk about here a bunch that the person making the chart has not read, there's too many genuinely good picks for it to be 100% shitposting, but there's also some awful games and some just alright ones.

>>45688299
>making lovers 2
Bro they will laugh at you when they realize that shit is worse than the one that is translated

>>45688406
That chart is full of garbage. The creator probably hasn't even read any of them.

>>45688425
It's a pretty good bait chart. I'll give them that.

>>45688427
Really? I quite liked it, one of Smee's better games.

i just noticed it has yuzuriha and i actually laughed out loud

>>45688453
kek.

>>45688453
I was about to reply 'aw c'mon, it's not that bad', then I realized it actually was.

>>45688453
whoever made that shit is a fucking genius

>>45688494
>>45688453
I hope Tincle Twincle festival isn't one of the shitpost recs, that game's stupid as hell but a lot of fun.

>>45688505
I completed that recently, actually. Pretty nice stuff.
The recs aren't actually all that shitty and like
>>45688353
says, there's some decent stuff in it.

>>45688446
>anal in moege

>>45688543
Get with the times, Reiwa heroines do anal.
If even Yuzusoft, the poster company for playing it safe moege, is doing BR and anal, then the fetishes are now basically vanilla.

>>45688543
Moebutas in the mud for years
https://vndb.org/t17840

>>45688505
Didnt like tincle twinkle, lost interest before finishing the blue girl with piss fetish route. Also the ugly senpai was shilled way too hard in the common route.

>>45688572
Kin'iro loveriche is not a moege.

>>45688572
That shit features 3P that is not a moege

>>45688577
>>45688599

Why is this general so lively, getting its own 'charts' and whatever unlike all the rest of us D:

>>45688615
Those charts aren't made by people from this thread.

Why the fuck the fujos haven't left the thread yet?

>>45688694
Nobody was even discussing bl or otomege.
We can if you want though?

>>45687349
>>45687334
They usually release something every 18 months or so. COVID fucked Tenshi Re-boots release but if they go back to their usual schedule we'll probably get something Q4 this year, although it may just be announced this year for 2025 release.

I'm tryin to download this patch for もっと！孕ませ！炎のおっぱい異世界おっぱいメイド学園 append.
http://suezou.dyndns.org/milk-factory.html#h_maid-append1
but the file always ended up downloading corrupted. Is it just me or what?

>>45688747
downloaded fine for me

>>45688797
try opening it

>>45688811
It also opened fine for me

>>45688811
okay, nevermind finally got this link to work

>>45688822
changed link to storage2. and it worked

>>45688694
Which otome/BL are you reading, bro

how can anyone still look forward to a next yuzuge after how bad they've been since riddle joker

but I'm game, what could the theme be next time? what haven't they done already? I want a robot heroine, not AI shit but hard metal robo girl. so maybe a space station/colony setting. mc is called Elliot Ripley and he's hunted by bishoujo aliens and surrounded by mercenary bishoujos and cyborg bishoujos

>>45688572
>>45688599
I thought vanilla = consensual sex with protagonist only, regardless of the play and number of girls
People really freaked out about 3P and anal? LMFAO

never read yuzuslop.
never will.
simple as.

I'll read every single VN release
every genre
simple as

>>45688858
I liked Tenshi Re-boot, it was a lot of fun.
>but I'm game, what could the theme be next time? what haven't they done already?
It will be a Japanese high school with some kind of fantasy/sci-fi skin. They could do aliens and robots, but the alien will be a completely normal human girl except for a cute antenna or horn or something and the robot will be a completely normal human girl except for a cute metal head ornament and then half the routes will ignore the fantasy/sci-fi skin anyways. It's yuzusoft, they don't take risks.
>>45688889
Even kusoge?

>>45688893
>and the robot will be a completely normal human girl except for a cute metal head ornament
I never understood the point of this. If you are going to make a robot girl, you should commit to the bit. Komorebi spoiled me on most robot girls.

>>45688858
I was disappointed by reboot's wasted potential
Most of the VN should've taken place in the other world instead of modern Japan and the heroines all should've been their past selves instead of their reincarnation.

>>45687137
>What are you looking forward to?
Hakkenden
>>45688299
But some of them are translated

>New Yuzusoft and Amakano 3 the same year again
The eternal rivals...

>>45688958
Rivals for the bottom of the barrel kek. SMEE and ASa beat them without trying.

>>45688870
Moebutas are an endless source of estrogen, they are threatened by the presence of other girls as well

>>45688858

How many years left until rape becomes moe

>>45688954
Your idea sounds way better than what they actually did. So disappointing...

>>45689057
Negatives years from Rance release dates

Yuzuge are going to be shit as long as they're being written by a w*man.

>>45689104
>Yuzuge
>written by a woman
What? Were you thinking of ASa Project?

>>45689104
geminism is written by a woman and is better written than yuzuge

>>45689104
yuzuge are drawn by women, not written

Rance was written by a woman

>>45689162
The shit ones.

didn't we just have this discussion like 2-3 threads ago

there's nothing else to discuss unless you want to go back to ntr shitposting

>>45689129
Wasn't https://vndb.org/s2883 the lead writer for every yuzuge? Or is that actually a guy?

>>45688299
people who won't play a game just because a translation exists are pretty pathetic 2bh

if it's not being gatekept it's probably not good

>>45689050
I'd like to read that. I've avoided anything isekai-related media. Maybe a vinnie could change my mind about that genre.

>>45689050
You pretty much described Clarias. It was OK but I didn't even bother to play the DLC patch thing they added later.

>>45689271
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPVJXfvOGV0
I watched this video today to see what F was like. Seeing purple axe girl wrecking shit reminded me how much fun her slow ass was in the trial's arena mode. I never played the full game but it looks like a lot of features are unlocked during the story. In the trial I sucked with MC's fists and sword girl wasn't my type, but axe and katana were fun. I couldn't figure out the gun girl.

I'm looking to get back into reading vns regularly again after a long while, tried to open kakurenbo and was greeted with this message stating the game isn't installed correctly which I figured would happen since I'm on a different desktop from the one I originally installed it on. Is there any way to bypass this? like a registry entry I need to make or something? failing that, where would I find my save files for the vn?

>>45689381
I was not that great at the game, but I accidentally figured out a way you can infinite combo the last boss with MC's fists. It was how I got through it on the hardest difficulty. I also remember wasting a bunch of time trying to see if that one guy's first boss battle was beatable (it's not). I forgot his name, Wufie or something.

>>45689163
So, Rance games

>>45689425
>where would I find my save files for the vn?
Download a 100% from sagaoz or seiya and read the readme file

>>45689425
Iirc it's in your documents

>>45689952 (me)

>>45689718
got it working. thanks anon

>>45690015
Nice.
>88:14:56
Do you tab out a lot? I did that in Tsushinbo and had 9 hours in the common route. It annoyed me enough to stop reading. I couldn't find a way to edit the time.

>>45690139
>It annoyed me enough to stop reading.
Pure autism.

>>45690139
yeah I tab out a bit. I especially remember one time where I minimized the vn after reading a scene and promptly forgot about it for the rest of the day. so that playtime counter is definitely not accurate. it doesn't bother me though

I wish cura went back to drawing eroge in a different company. FUCK lose/whisp betrayers.

>>45688929
>嵩夜あや
I've been meaning to check out his stuff, which game should I start with?

>>45690231
Of his works, I've only read komorebi and semiramis. Maybe someone else can chime in? Of those two, it depends what you're looking for. Komorebi is more upbeat, while semiramis is a much more severe story; a story where there are consequences for your failure.

>>45690295
no fucking wayyyyy, it's going to be a good year

>>45688176
>>45688237
Koreans and Chinese are even more autistic.

Is Nyaa really no longer a viable option to get eroge?

>>45690295
Nice. I should actually read some Black Cyc games this year while I'm at it.

>>45690395
We all get our stuff from AB these days.

>>45690395
Still works for me. Unlike old anime nyaatorrents eroge torrents almost always have seeders. One day the seeders will be gone and then it's only DDLs until they're shut down. Sucks that xdcc bots never caught on with eroge.

>>45690421
no ((( we ))) don't

>>45690474
There's always going to be a torrent index that everyone will flock to. Remember when OG Nyaa was kill?

>>45690486
Except OG Nyaa got scraped and a lot was reuploaded. Those are just the torrents itself. The problem is a lack of seeders. I'd bet many of the less seeded eroge torrents are only seeded by oldfags and OG torrent uploaders like girlcelly and 2DGF. They won't be around forever and then you have to get lucky a stray seeder pops in. You reach 99%, lose your connection for a second and the seeder is gone and you wait for years.

>>45690553
So? Media on the internet is not forever lost. Someone somewhere will have the file and will be shared one way or another.

kfmax is great if you can get past their point system and chinese UI.

>>45687210
its been a bit since ive done it, but it was everything in this http://blog.w4kfu.com/post/Unpackme_I_am_Famous and this https://web.archive.org/web/20230601123436/https://www.reversing.be/article.php?story=20061030193245121 which i used as reference, but still there are too many details that you have to figure out yourself
+ the dynamically resolved calls seemingly started to get resolved to the wrong address if you hit the wrong ones too many times, so i fixed all 1k+ calls by hand with a gorillion vm state reloads like an idiot

>>45690395
What are the other options now besides Ryuu and trying to kill yourself with A-S DDLs? AB requires discordfaggotry dicksucking to get in. Is convincing chinks you're one of them the only other way? That's sad.

The sound mixing in Campanella Plus Stories is beyond retarded. I had to lower the BGM volume to 35% to not drown out the voices at 100%.

>>45690805
There's always the good Samaritans in these threads. I swear I've gotten more obscurege here than all those places combined.

>>45690848
That is true. When I went through an archive search, plenty of obscure stuff did show up which surprises me sometimes since several of those games aren't even sold anymore. Really grateful for those anons.

What games should I play in order to denpamaxx?

You could just consume hard drugs if you want to go insane.

Moege and nukige are two sides of the same coin

Tell me about the Hyper Highspeed Genius. All I know is it has Nanjo Yoshino in it.

Anyone else read an entire nukige and never fap at all

>>45691524
no?

>>45691524
do you suffer from erectile dysfunction

>>45691524
As long as there is something besides hscenes, like clockup plotnukiges, yes. Don't really read nukige normally, but destroyed my dick when I read biman tho.

>>45690231
you vil read ze semiramis

I'm sick of all these boring slender heroines
Where are the chubs at

Looking for eroge with fun gameplay elements, any recommendations? Could be in any direction like managing a facility, doing things for characters, running your shop.. as long as its not superficial.

>>45691826
In NTR, rape and other disgusting shit like orcsoft games

>>45691896
Orcsoft games aren't all that bad.
We all like it here, as I'm sure the archives can demonstrate.

>>45690231
If you are interested in the otoboku games, I thought the second one was quite good. The first feels very experimental and the third wasn't particularly memorable. Of his other games I have done Alicematic (recommended if you want chuuni action) and Komorebi (fun sci-fi game without getting too over the top). I haven't yet played Semiramis or Last Cavalier. His style is pretty distinctive so if you just find something that looks interesting you should be able to form an opinion pretty quickly.

So I know blacks like anime, but do they also read eroge?

>>45691847
Did you try out the usual gameplay brands like Alicesoft, Eshully and Giga? Outside of them I can think of a few doujin games I enjoyed like 妹!せいかつ～ファンタジー～, 満車率300 and あまえんぼ. Kinda want to try 冒険者の宿へようこそ!2. Also I just found this meme Loveplus parody the other day lol

please don't drag Setsuka into this faggotry

>>45690777
I know that fixing nanomites by calling them is easier, but it really makes me wonder if anyone ever tried to deobfuscate the debugger stuff, there must be some lookup table involved where all these instructions and their offsets are stored. Or try to recreate the driver in usermode somehow, that would be killer universal solution.
Anyway, good job. Safedisc can still be annoying even after all these years.

>>45691524
I never fap when I'm reading a VN properly. Only after I've finished reading an H-scene do I allow myself to come back to it for a fap. That is if the scene is good enough. I've 100%ed many nukige I never went back to fap to. Moege H-scenes are better.

>>45694479
i think its just more trouble than its worth for the people skilled enough to bother (+ they are probably busy battling the one cracker on side of denuvo already), since most of the western games got rereleases with it removed and i think only like 3 japanese games ive seen had it properly implemented with the main executables being wrapped and not just a launcher to them being safedisc

>>45694097
That's not me....

>>45691524
I can't fap to anything at all unless it fulfills my standards exactly which I can count on one hand desu

>>45694868

Post examples of good art.

I want to call you faggots names for dropping shit left and right, but I'm not any better. I went into the new year with plans what to finish and what to start. The first 3 days I didn't read anything and I wasted hours replacing my old anime collection with smaller encodes that freed up 80GB that I immediately went to fill up with eroge. This demotivated me enough not to want to read anything from my carefully planned out list.

Wrong.

>>45695754
i wonder what happened with imokano. hajimekano wasn't amazing art either but it's leagues above imoakno despite saburo doing both.

>>45696617
Doesn't imokano have a lot more scenes?

>>45696319
I make $30 an hour. If a game wastes 5 hours of my time, I suffered an $150 loss.

>>45696617
Modern artists get worse over time now, expect it to be more once they also start using AI more and more

>>45696624
>>45696813
yea there's a lot more scenes. the writer even said that imokano's scenario is at least 2x length of hajimekano. there's a lot of CG recycling between routes though.

God, I wish there was a function on vndb to block other users like on egs

>>45696617
it's really simple when you look at saburou's vns. they hid much of hajikano's bad art behind waffle's glossy shine and oldskool disco porn filters. the zombie series doesn't have those filters but looks miles better than imokano because imokano focuses too much on males during h, has really weird anatomy, flat faces or 2.5D fish faces and their use of shitty blur filtering.

saburou's best looking vn is https://exhentai.org/g/1525208/c48a9506eb/
it has more generic anime/vn coloring than the other 3 I mentioned but it just works with saburou's art. best example is https://exhentai.org/s/157bc841cc/1525208-36 she has the same weird 2.5D fish face but it doesn't look as distracting because the eyes have better focus and clarity. waffle and seacoxxx colorists made the eyes too dead or shiny like doll eyes. the guy's hands are detailed and textured. her body has nice colors. the cg looks normal and pleasant, doesn't make you wonder why everything looks oiled up or dead inside. even the actual "oiled" up girl in https://exhentai.org/s/a7cff40f09/1525208-129 looks better than hajikano's always oily look. imokano doesn't even have that to hide behind and looks too raw and ugly.

What are the best games to learn Japanese with?

Has anyone here read "Genjitsu ga Mietekita node Lolicon Yamemashita." and found a solution for the sound bug after Aoi's first real h-scene? There is no fucking music anymore. Or will it come back later on?

>>45698967
don't use eroge to learn Japanese, read some easy shonen manga like one piece, conan, ippo, etc.
If you can solve a conan kanji puzzle you're set.

It's really, really good, but it's budget as fuck. If you can tolerate that I'd absolutely give it a try, it's really different than most other VNs and is clearly trying to emulate a western fantasy epic more than anything.

Any idea where to get it? I'm on 1.01

>>45698967

It's an actual plot point, MC notes that he's fighting 25 v 1 and winning despite not even bothering to draw his sword because he's not trying to kill his opponents, just knock them out. Also it's later revealed he has super strength and so weapons typically snap when he uses them so he mostly relies on his fists.

>>45699054
Nobody falls for this right?

>>45699321
What's wrong with it? I used it when I started out and it worked out good for me.

>>45699287
NTA but I started with quick and easy eroge that aren't too good to regret not understanding fully but still good enough to read. After finishing each one, I took a break to clear accumulated anki cards. Once you are confident enough, you can switch to longer and more difficult titles.

>>45698967
>>45699287
If you're at 0 forget reading untranslated eroge.
If you have some knowledge try simple moege from 2000-2010.
If you can read those without problems try plotge from 2010-now.
If you can read those without problems try plotge from 1995-2010.
Only once you can read those you shall touch nukige and lolige.

I played through Rance 5D. Every mechanic being made of randomness and every attack being assigned a number between 1-6 on a dice roll was fun at first. But holy shit I thought I was going to have a stroke at the mid boss in chapter 3 where he has the same attack on 1-3 and a different attack on 4-6 and both of them are "fuck you eat shit." I liked the art, the music, and the idea, I guess. The story was whatever, but the dialogue and Rance acting like an asshole was great, as always. I will never play it again, but on the other hand I guess now I know how to avoid the chapter 3 pitfalls and it's only like 9 hours long with resetting. Not too bad.

>>45699287
>>45698967
don't worry about specific content when it comes to difficulty, creators don't think about the difficulty of their writing for language learners, they just write the prose and diaogue they want to write for other natives
the only thing is when you're first starting anything with narration to explain what's going on instead of imagery like manga/anime is wayyy harder than something with just dialogue. the 2 reasons being
1. when you can't really understand the language yet， you will struggle to follow what's happening with just language
2. there's a lot of vocab that's rare in dialogue but totally common in narration， so there's a big difficulty spike even just in the raw language between dialogue-only mediums and novels.
VNs have some visual assistance but not much more than a normal novel. however like anons said if there's something you REALLY want to read that's the most important thing.

Is it true that Yomichan is sending the text of the nukige I read to the CIA?

Is Shoujo Ramune worth the read for story/character development reasons or is it just a generic lolige nukige without any depth or drama? I've only watched the OVAs.

>>45702296
If you like lolis, no. If you want to treat lolis like shit, yes.

>>45702296
Loliges with a good story literally don't exist so what do you expect?

>>45702312
Maitetsu, Monobeno come to mind...

Also I'm currently reading Genjitsu ga Mietekita node Lolicon Yamemashita. which is pretty peak and all I wanted DameKoi to be.

>>45702337
>which is pretty peak
Kill yourself, zoomie.

>>45702337
They all are half hagge though

>>45702307
Well, I fapped a lot to the OVAs over the years. So much that I know the dialogue by heart. So I'm fine with it. But it would be nice if the eroge offered more depth than the adaptations.

>>45702364
>But it would be nice if the eroge offered more depth than the adaptations.
That's literally the case with every source material that gets adapted, so I don't see why it wouldn't be the case for Shoujo Ramune.

Have been playing 妹!せいかつ for now and it‘s really fun! Thanks, was more or less what I had been looking for.

How grindy is it? The previous game was too much for me.

Ive been playing through a longish VN and getting pretty fed up with the story when it goes back to just SoL stuff for awhile, what VNs are worth looking into that have gameplay to break up some of the monotony, I feel like i could read more and for longer with some gameplay to look forward too, i have evenicle, rance would be cool but i prefer to have things voiced

>>45702567

Glad that you like it. I'm still waiting for the DLC. You can find some pretty interesting games on the doujin game section of dlsite.
>>45702544
The core gameplay with the imouto is the same but they added a lot more content for you to do like battles, random events, side characters and a story.
>>45702567
I think most Eshully games have voice and gameplay. Maybe try Soukoku no Arterial?

Idk why but i like that vibe when mc puts !! in everything he says

>>45702850
bro that girl is Char (6) from that shogi anime

I've been reading with that jl software that goes on top of the game. It really makes the experience so much better because now I can fullscreen the game instead of half the screen just being the browser. I don't know if it's because I'm running it through wine, but it sucks not being able to scroll down in word entries.

>>45702892
>scroll down in word entries.
works on my machine

>>45702850
is she "ai" generated?

>>45702892
>sucks not being able to scroll down in word entries.
you need to press mining key to be able to scroll

Speaking of lolige with story, did anyone play this https://vndb.org/v21145

>>45702910
Yes she is 愛 generated

>>45702918
Oh, that worked. Thanks.

>half the screen just being the browser
absolute state of hookoids.

>>45702967
I mean it isn't that bad. Sure beats going to your phone or alt tabbing. Think a lot of people play visual novels in windowed mode anyway. And it's more like 2/5 of the screen for me, not literally half. If you're playing on a desktop and have multiple monitors it's not even an impediment. My Japanese vocabulary is still lacking. Will probably take another 3-4 years till I can play without. Learning vocabulary is so slow. Lots of words, especially if it isn't just a generic moege.

>>45702967
Your second monitor?

>>45703007
Do your anki reps bro if you still need hooker after a year of reading you are clearly doing smth wrong

>>45702337
>which is pretty peak and all I wanted DameKoi to be.
I just finished Aoi's and Kotori's routes. It was decent overall, but the endings are too rushed. I wish it had things like pillow talk scene and more everyday interactions at the end of each route instead of frequent time skips leading to sex scenes.

>>45703035
I don't know if this is accurate. This is what people here always like to say, but I don't know. Hasn't been my experience. Though, granted, I spend like 2 or 3 hours a day on this stuff, so maybe if you could devote all your time to it maybe it's doable.

>>45703007
>2024
>he still doesn't have a second monitor

>>45703097
nta but i have 0 space on my table

>>45703069
Maki route was the peak of that game but then Mai route has completely ruined it for me, such a waste of potential

>>45703095
If you spend 2 to 3 hours a day reading for a full year, you should be smooth sailing for like 90+% of anything.

>>45702918
>>45702931
You can also use the middle mouse button.

>>45703097
I had a second monitor, used it for a week and then sold it. One monitor is so much more comfortable.

>>45703095
Reading without a hook is like reading any english literature, once you get used, whatever word you dont know gets automatiaclly filtered by your brain and you more or less get what it means by context

>>45703124
>>45703147
Well maybe you guys are just smarter than me, studied more efficiently, etc. Who knows. All I know is where I'm at. And I can do that to an extent, but there's too many weird readings where often times I can recall the meaning of the word but not its reading.

Do you guys read in windowed mode? Unless it's some old shit breaking my desktop like 家族計画, it's always fullscreen. Thought it was the norm

>>45703095
It's doable if you just read without getting too particular with the vocabulary readings and become more reliable on the context. After a year for me, I could understand a lot of things by intuition alone but knowing the readings 100% accurately is another story.

Playing VNs without a text hooker isn't realistic even for most people that do know Japanese, lol. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should... particularly if you don't want to take twice as much time at it. Trying to convince a newbie to do without at least using jparser is cruel, to say the least. It's like cutting someone open then staking them over an anthill.

>>45703186
That's where you can benefit from manual lookups instead of hooking, trying to recall all the different words that contain the kanji you can't read helps a lot with retention
You can also do the Kotoba quiz in your free time, for some people it seems to boost their progress quite a lot especially since you can do it on your phone anytime

>>45703109
>Maki route was the peak of that game
I'm almost done with Maki route, and it's such a dumpster fire, honestly. All this drama was completely unnecessary. I like Aoi the most but the peak route was Kotori - such a beautiful ending. Not going to bother with Mai route. Hopefully harem ending will be decent.

>>45702068
Only a handfull of scenes just like her sister.
Devilish.

>>45703219
I always read them in fullscreen. I use Magpie if the resolution of VN is less than 1080p.

>>45703219
I just Magpie everything.

>>45703219
I only read in the window when I'm reading something boring and doing other stuff on the side, but i still use the lossless scaling to increase the size and remove borders
I simply can't stand the fucking borders they are so distracting

>>45703219
anything below 1080p is windowmode

>>45703109
Is the Mai route skippable, or is the some good degenerate content in it worth the read? Like the MC I sadly don't get hard with her. But I heard there is a 4some with her and her two daughters at the end of it? Now that would be erotic beyond belief if true.

Reading 呪われし伝説の少女 and I keep having to look kanji up every other page after the intro...
I thought I was past this...
>jpdb 5/10
Absolute bullshit

ヴァンパイアの微笑み good BGM.

>>45703219
Fullscreen feels weird since I've used windowed for so long. Anytime I try using magpie something seems off anyways so whatever.

>>45703416
I seem to remember the writing on that was pretty good? or was it just my dekinai past not being able to tell the difference between good shit and bad shit?

>>45703276
>>45703289
magpie in universal tuning utility? what does that function do? it puts my games into full screen but then i can't click anything.

>>45703405
>Like the MC I sadly don't get hard with her
That's where the main issue with her route begins
After all his efforts to get hard in the Maki route and still failing anyway, in Mai route he just suddenly gets hard on the first try just because without any explanations which literally makes zero sense
It has a short 4some scene at the end but it's pretty mediocre

>>45703440
That post didn't say it was bad, just that it was too hard for him to read.

>>45703490
? I just remembered that when I read it a few years ago I liked the writing, but now I'm not sure if it was really good or just average

>>45703478
Does the route offer anything of value to the story? Like: is the true ending that he ends up in a family harem or not?

>>45703420
How your eyes not hurt looking at such a small window? Even in fullscreen, when the game has a small ass font it makes my eyes cry, idk how can one see something in an even smaller window (and i say it as someone with 100% eyesight in the glasses)

>>45703630
The harem ending is just a bonus filler afterstory it doesn't really give any feels

>>45703645
I read everything on a 720p monitor.

>>45703440
The prose is great. It really feels like you are in the head of an actual character. I’m only a couple of hours in mind you.

>>45703645
NTA but I use a windows tablet for eroge, so even 1280x720 takes up more than half the screen in windowed mode. Plus, it's right up by my face since I lay down on the couch in eroge reading mode.

>>45703069
>I wish it had things like pillow talk scene and more everyday interactions at the end of each route instead of frequent time skips leading to sex scenes.
You won't find that in any of their games. Tanuki/Kaeru Soft made nukige, What you want is moege from Galette/Tinkle Position.

>>45703843
>What you want is moege from Galette/Tinkle Position
I had them in mind, specifically Onikin, but they fall short in terms of realism, such as MC having zero qualms about banging his sisters. Also, I was talking specifically about lolige with significant age gap that is taken seriously as well as decent plot/pacing. It seems it's too much to ask.

So to recap what you're looking for
>lolige
>age gap romance
>realistic incest drama
>icha icha moe
>not just a nukige
You are asking for too much. If you want age gap and lolis the nukige by Tanuki Soft and Sol-fa-soft are your best shot. If you want lolis, imoutos and icha icha then go with Galette. If you want lolis, age gap and realism it's Yoru no Hitsuji.

Marble Candy Soft's three lolige are probably the closest to what you want since you've already read Maitetsu.

>>45704222
Himawari technically has all of those but across multiple characters

>>45704070
I unironically read eroge for plot. Brother/sister VNs have the same issue - most of the times heroines just don't feel like sisters at all. There are some good titles though.
>>45704222
Thanks, I'll check them out. Incest isn't necessary - just lolige + age gap + moe + at least some realistic drama. Genjitsu ga Mietekita node Lolicon Yamemashita was good, I just wish the pacing was slower at the end.
>since you've already read Maitetsu
I actually haven't. Is it worth it? Detached sexual content kinda makes me not want to read it.

>>45704245
Only if you read the original Himawari. The story is still cuckshit.

>>45704260
Monobeno is better since it has actual in-story h scenes, still 90% of them are fillers though but the story is very high quality

>>45688299

Do you love trains and local politics? Then read Maitetsu Last Run. Its MC is a block of wood though. It's a miracle he isn't both asexual and has erectile dysfunction. One way to handle Maitetsu is reading the common route, then unlocking the H-scenes and only read those. They don't jump right into it and have some story lead-ins. That way you could skip the train and politics stuff.

All the good games are all widely known already, most of the games i tried that people claim to be their hidden gems ended up being hot garbo

My greatest joy? reading shit that in vndb is not well received by the translation and realizing that it is unexpectedly good

>>45704436
Assuming you read everything translated long time ago, try Aikotoba. Other than that, I haven't read other untranslated ones because my Japanese wasn't good enough until recently, and I didn't want to fuck up good titles with poor understanding. Real Imouto also looks promising. I hope it will be good, it must be.

Retards. The best stuff is never really privy to anyone but people like >>45704427
and the reason for that is simple: the greatest things elicit a tendency of gate keeping purely on account of how good they are, letting you instinctively know you shouldn't ever consider casting pearls before swine(you)
It's safe to say anything ever publicized as 'good', given this, is just that; good. Can't be great. Can't be 'kino'. Can't be 'kamige'. Can't be 'untranslatable'.
Once ever few decades, a merciful anon or someone else somewhere will come out and say
>Hey, ever heard of this?
And then we start understanding what's what.

there's a new group called knights of the Kamige table but at the present not much is known about them, I don't know if they have a site or discord yet

why would you do this to yourself? amd cant even run stable diffusion properly

so whats up with this samefaggot spamming/pushing an unfunny joke about kamige and translations, starting with the chart?

>>45704593
>>45704605
I seriously hope you're not kidding here. That'd be extremely based for some reason. Just imagine them killing all existing <official> businesses as everyone literally focuses only on their releases as they'd all be, to name: KAMIGE.
Knights of the Kamige table.
Absolutely hilarious . Absolutely based.

her route is way too funny, and I've never seen muttsuri done as cleverly as her. plus the afterstory where she finally becomes a sunao onaho is insanely hot

>>45704592
So what would be an example of such a game?
All of you elitistic faggots keep claiming about some imaginary kamige but whenever you get asked actual examples all you can do is come up with some bland excuses about gatekeeping because you know that no one else will like your shit

>>45704630
Typical clout chasing. You can't have clout unless you establish exclusivity and hierarchy. Who the fuck cares if someone else reads an eroge?
