I enjoy modern BL a lot especially the “normalization” of bara and wider variety of tropes (like bigger ukes, more switch pairings, less obvious sexual dichotomy between seme and uke) but 2000s era BL was my first exposure to the genre so it’s very nostalgic and comforting for me in a way.

/blog/ related artbooks are kind of a niche within a niche so I highly doubt such a thing exists.

I've rarely seen scans included with pirated drama cds. you have to take what you can get for those.

no clue how many dialovers artbooks exist, but are actually quite a few on z-lib

>> No.46272300

>>46271285
About old ones, thing is that in order to scan artbooks you have to rip out the pages. Otherwise you can't scan them with a good result at least. Same with light novels and some old manga that no digital copies exist. Years ago it was easy to do it since many bought 2 artbooks one for collection the other for scanning and sharing but since now prices have increased no one is willing to do it/ can't afford it. And dlsite/bookwalker etc. digital copies don't let you download artbooks manga as pdf ebook etc. format. You got to do it manually.
There is this tool for dlsite though but never tried it myself.

Anyways translations that were perfectly fine: norn, amnesia, togainu no chi, enzai, sweet pool, collar x malice, bad apple wars, period cube etc, all these games I played before I learned japanese.
Most BL/otome with translations that aren’t MTL are perfectly fine. I think people who are talking about TL quality and pushing for others to dump 3k hours into learning jap are vastly overestimating how much normal people even give a shit about TL quality. Fire emblem is the king of shit meme translations with literal fanfic and most people are like “oh that sucks” and play the shitty TLs anyways. Most people who are anal about TL quality learn japanese or they’re fucking schizos who learn enough to know the TL isn’t 100% correct and complain about how it took liberties but then they never actually play games in japanese.

To any anons interested in reading Cage, starting with Zero is totally valid. Super short, very light read, minimal spoilers. A prologue to the prologue basically. Reading it before Close is still fine, but by that point it becomes mostly redundant.

Personally I don't think we should maintain a list of requests, this thread is already seeing a spike in number of people coming on here to beg for games or for tech support. Maintaining a torrent or download repositories will also bring more attention (including unwanted attention) to the general which we should avoid at all costs. Discussing actual /blog/ related stuff is already sometimes a rarity depending on the thread (yes I know I'm not helping by discussing meta, cut me some slack this time).

But I have to disagree with not doing requests here. Blog always used to post games actually, all the psp otome rips are all thanks to anons here through all these years. Since 2020 though there haven't been many game posts here possibly because of the "mua piracy bad" trend and because stuff do get shared around anyway. Not the tokuten anymore though.

These are both true. I'm just iffy on the idea because エロゲスレ attempted to maintain a megalink and then there was a huge influx in trolls and such in their general, it got linked to places like r*d**t and it's still a current problem. Having a consolidated archive makes it more likely to get linked elsewhere; having individual links obviously doesn't remove the possibility either but I feel like it'll make it harder and increase the LCD a bit.

The hostage was released eventually but I imagine the family dinners were pretty tense.
Anyway, that bad end with his mother was pure lunacy. I think he was optimistically trying to make her give up on her jerk husband by "cheating" on her while she mistook him for his father? With Teppei of all people though. Maybe he already tormented her like that with other partners. Making her die wasn't his ideal scenario, I think.

Teppei, the silly brocon, couldn't help seeing his little brother in Saiki. I guess they're the same age but you know. It's pretty funny that he even seemed to accept the brocon/shotacon accusation eventually (though that mainly Saiki's abuse messing with his head I think.) That said he still forced himself to wait until Saiki grew up. (It's left ambiguous whether Saiki himself waited though, apparently he polished his technique during that time.) The writers just love hyper-precocious brats. See also Takara in Paradise.

Teppei going yangire in this route was honestly one of my favorite parts of Cage. I'm not even sure why, it's pure edgy shlock, but I guess since he's still sort of a bumbling fool shifting from scrappy underdog to slasher nightmare? In particular that scene where he's giving a cliché bully sermon to some rando and "accidentally" kills him and comes to grip with it, it was just wonderful. I guess I like these half-lucid rampages in general, there's another one like that in Paradise too.

Another great thing is the hypervulgar language and Saiki provides most of it. Good luck ever finding another character who speaks like that, even faceless NTRmen in nukige aren't quite that foul-mouthed. The age makes it more believable somehow, shitty brats know no restraint.

I teared up for some weird reason when they revealed that Saiki used the real coin his father gave him rather than the copy he had made for the game. Such a deep touch.
Also despite his mind snapping repeatedly Teppei remained a preachy (if guilty) moralfag to the end in the entire route. Respect.

(cont)
Ishimatsu at one point calls the Saiki mansion 病巣, which I took to mean that the freaks in it are infecting each others with their madness, but Shun and his father remain remarkably lucid. Jun on the other hand is rather delusional (especially seen in that one bad end), it's hard to tell how consciously he's manipulating Teppei to fulfill that death wish. Sometimes it's not clear if the twins failed to accurately model his mental state or if it was all according to keikaku. I hope they were pleasantly surprised like Maki-san was, otherwise it's just too damn sad.

Although it seems pretty fixed whether Jun exists or not in each branch, it's also fun to reinterpret Saiki's character and relationship with his father by changing the assumption that he has an actual sibling or a split personality for each.

Ishimatsu's route structure was quite a surprise yeah, the Destroy route was rather vanilla as far as these go, and the Love route was grim as hell. It stays true to Destroy = miscommunication and soured relationship, Love = mutual understanding and gentler relationship (if anything in this fucking game can be called "gentle"), but I've never seen Teppei as thoroughly mindfucked, emotionally tortured, physically exhausted and generally hopeless in another Love route. It's important to remember to give yourself a break and take it easy, Teppei.
Also you know:
>fucking EVERYONE is dead in a pile of corpses
>the good ending credits roll
The writers were totally taking the piss I swear.

And yeah Teppei worrying about whether getting fucked in the ass makes him a homo or whatever while his family is getting skewered was the finest black comedy.
Incidentally I feel like this and Maki's had the most "natural" love scenes, for the others it's rather hard for me to grok WHY he wanted to fuck any of the LIs at that point. Not like I wouldn't if I were in his shoes, but I can better accept that a character like Teppei would get intoxicated by Maki-san's overflowing manliness or overpowered by Ishimatsu's predator aura.

I think the ED30 epilogue is the mark that 16 was the true route and it was supposed to herald a follow-up game, maybe.
Also OF COURSE he would get killed by Ishimatsu for the sake of HIS revenge! Ishimatsu allowed him to kill Saiki even though it ruined his own shot at revenge, bringing Teppei's head was the only option left at that point. I can't even call that a betrayal it's just so obvious. Only a dumbass like Teppei would get surprised, I bet Ishimatsu thought he understood what sort of deal they were making when he double-checked if Teppei understood the consequences of killing Saiki

Anyway, Teppei being obsessed with getting his revenge on the kiba who killed his precious Oohira throughout is the main reason I had to recommend playing this route before the last.

>> No.46312280

>limited 100% to BL
Shitoku's... pretty fucking weird about that. Despite not advertising itself as a BL game something like 95% of the scenes are homo. But yes, Father is hijacking a female body.
I'll just say, I lean very homo and I'm absolutely not into femdom but I had zero problem enjoying it, especially because the few scenes involving Father are portrayed as grotesque and absolutely depraved either way. I'd even say it probably works better if you're disgusted by het scenes in general, to emphasize with the character's own rejection of Father.

>> No.46312480

>>46312394
>emphasize with the character

It's honestly curious though, I don't think that Scaro at any point questions or comments on his sexual orientation, but he only loves guys (his relationship with Father is roughly 100% hate, but either way he knew him from before he switched to a female body) and he's never worried about how it would be perceived either.
And it's not like other characters call him out on it, despite otherwise hurling every insult imaginable at him (and some you couldn't even imagine), I can't tell if their society is just that progressive or if it's the author's mental block/self-censorship (which again would be pretty fucking funny since the content is otherwise as vile and outrageous as possible, imagine tabooing homophobia in the VN equivalent of Salo/120 Days of Sodom)

There’s a scene where Himeno calls him a gay pedophile for not wanting to fuck her and Scaro claims he isn’t gay. I think him not showing an interest in women is reflecting the authors lack of interest in writing normal het scenes more than anything, since it does describe him ‘feeding’ off female humans in passing iirc.
But the society’s attitude to sexuality is made clearer in the sequel game, everyone is assumed to be bisexual by default and they think humans are weird for not being this way.

Highly doubt that all ages otome have pulled a piss scene before. Try maybe the r18 ones. But it's always the girl most times. Mashou megane, chou no doku it was the heroine.

Nucarnival did have the incubus pissing himself because the shotajiji vampire pegged him with a monster dildo apparently?

Blvns will get gacha ported from now on whether we like it or not that's an inevitable reality. If gacha games are popular enough they get ported, see blood domination or the voltage games.
But unlike otome fans, the majority of bl fans play these games for the porn. Fujoshis aren't willing to pay 70$ for switch only all ages bl games. See the reviews for that rosa nakajo male friendship game otomate released. It's like 70% off once a week lol. Erolabs allows porn so more and more porn gacha will release there. This upcoming bl gacha is originally Japanese.
Gacha discussions can be on topic as long as anons here don't discuss shit like the gacha systems, pity, battles blah blah like when nucani first came out and the thread was shat like that.

I'll explain it publicly from my own side once the project is done. But essentially, the lead translator wanted to keep this project very secret as she was afraid Koei might send a cease and desist on a 30 year old game.
While that agreement was made, we desperately needed a programmer to continue the project so I asked the official otome games tumblr to send a help wanted for a programmer. It worked! And I sent the opening cutscene in english on reddit.
The lead translator went on a rant everywhere about it after finding this information.
I understand that I was in the wrong, a promise was broken, and she just doesn't want this project to get into any trouble.
However, from my perspective, that was the quickest and best way to receive help, and making it known that it was going on is what other fan translators do to make it known that people can join the team or to stop others from making their own to waste energy.

I'm sorry but didn't the translator iirc post herself back in early 2020s on otome reddit where 80k+ people are in about the project? Like looking for help etc? Or was it you? Because if it was the translator herself it's kind of stupid getting angry after posting to a place where so many people are there, including many members who are strongly antipiracy/antipatch.

My theory is maybe someone tried to scare her away or smth with DCMA bullshit? Remember to all fantranslators here, to ignore such larping schizos. They are full of bullshit and got nothing else to do than moralfag and whine about non existent problems. The reason why Ken ga kimi doesn't have an English patch even though it was 99% finished back in 2014 and the reason why starry sky series fanpatch anons stopped releasing eng patches and stuck to Spanish only releases were because of faggots like them larping as the companies.

The timing really didn't help. It might have been one or two members who were against releasing it too and not all the team but didn't agree and investigate much and in the end decided not to release it which sucks.

Don't know anything about the drama at all but I'm always under the impression most fan translators are not fluent at all and are probably N4 to N2 in terms of proficiency.
TMGS1 and the other games translated by the same person were pretty much English/Japanese practice for them since neither languages was the translator's native tongue.

>> No.46389276

>>46389201
Seems fair to me. Both games tokimeki and angelique are very entry level Japanese so you don't need to be fluent anyway.

Ken ga Kimi is being worked at snails pace due to the difficulty and got to be the least N3 level for someone to translate it. And N2 isn't a low level desu. N1 has 32% success rate each year. It's difficult for Japanese people even.

>> No.46390385

>>46389276
Nah, a lot of fan translators scrape by with basic knowledge, MTL, context clues and copious editing. If you are fluent in Japanese you can 100% tell when someone is not fluent let alone when something has been machine translated, just like how I can tell you’re ESL, no offence.
N1 is definitely not hard for Japanese adults, maybe retarded illiterate ones without high school education but even they should be able to pass the listening and spoken sections without much difficulty.

Yeah I noticed that natives cringe over mtl'ed stuff more while esls don't mind it. I'm not talking about atrocities like what you see in some gacha or fantranslated webtoon, that's too much even for esls. Some lines aren't that noticeable at least to us. But on the other hand natives don't eyeroll as we do when we see westernized translations. Seems more natural to you seems cringe to us. So maybe it's a blessing being an esl sometimes lol?
Maybe the kanji might be the cause? Too much even for native jops? 2000? Your average should know 700 max. The grammar should be fine though maybe make a few particles mistakes. N1 is tough indeed but not impossible. JLPT though doesn't have writing, write an essay and speaking compared to other languages. Which makes it easier.

It really depends on the English localization. For the majority of them, those are extremely polarizing even among native English speakers. I would say Americans tend to be more tolerate towards them because many of the script changes from localizations often are more reflective to their country's pop culture and sense of humor - the sort of stuff that's more or less unrelatable to people everywhere. It's pretty much why certain dubs and objective massive rewrites of older anime/video games are looked back upon fondly by many Americans who grew up with them. English localizations were traditionally always made for the American palette.

Nips don't take the JLPT. That low pass rate that you've seen is from foreigners living in Japan. And the reason their N1 success rate is even lower in Japan than elsewhere is because they need that paper asap and rush taking the exam.

Is N1 mandatory to work in Japan? Most places I've checked are fine with N2. I have an uncle there he is 6 years already knows 8 words max in Japanese and he married a Japanese woman and had kids but his job never required it. I don't know if it's international company but their specialty is about earthquakes and geology. All the more reason to require Japanese from my point of view. Did something change?

You know what, maybe they don't want to learn Japanese and just read 4-5 visual novels which is fair, understandable if they aren't that invested in the hobby itself and just want to play a few games that picked their interest. Just looking for a way to play the untranslated popular ones, diabolik lovers and uta no prince sama for example and the fujos that want shingakko. There're many ways.
Otome are harder to mtl since they're on consoles and you'll have to emulate on top of mtling. Then find a hooker that probably needs a script etc etc. Not impossible, if there's strong will abd desperation nothing can stop you but the process itself can be a pain in the ass. Partly understandable.
PC games though, R18 otome and BL are all on PC. All you have to do is get textractor or whatever and that's it, that's all. This whole bitching is infuriating.

The point is that it's not particularly something that requires a high skill level to learn but rather needs commitment and actual enthusiasm with learning the language. You're not doing any complicated research or discovering anything new that requires real intelligence, learning a new language is something where all the methodology is already established, you just need to practice all the time and take care on how to improve yourself. No one said it's easy but many people have learned secondary languages and committed themselves to immersion for many years. It's not a race to become fluent but rather it's a means of enjoying yourself in the language/culture.

Really sorry to beg but you (or anyone else) don't happen to have the last volume do you? There's links on a-s but they're dead. The first 5 volumes are easy to find and the 6th is on bilibili but the last I can't find anywhere.

The aristocratic elegance of a pure untouched virginal beauty

OR

The Nietzschean pro-sex, pro-beauty used goods kino whore who turns up to be your brother?
