Kinda embarrassed that I've read this shit.

>>46833325
read this to clean your mind https://exhentai.org/g/1591496/b968aff2e1/

The fuck just happened, it just instantly went from 247lvl to 572??? Is it because i randomly got ccc rank in pvp against some geared dude or something?
So it is finally enough to be considered a real chink or not, from what i tried i still can't access shit

the one by Nitro+?

>>46833960
Yes.. (is there any other?)

>>46833966
the one by nitro-

I don't think you're supposed to give one of the main heroines this much synergy with the bro character.

What is the point of nitro origin?
https://nitro-origin.com/game/totono/

>>46834001
The bro deserves some manko too.

>>46834008
It's just a brand to sell their old stuff since they've essentially went all in as an all-ages anime/manga/game brand.

>>46834001
It came out in 2006. Bro characters were more popular back then and some other brands haven't created controversies yet by misguidedly pairing a bro with a heroine in other routes.

We need more bro characters.

>>46834001
Just make the bro a chick
Then I can fuck both

>>46834001
I like vn with bro character more

>>46834049
You can fuck him even if he's not a chick

>>46834049
Making a bro officially gay works too.
Or just make him an ugly girlfriend without a tachie from another school.
All three solutions almost always work to avoid problems.

>>46834036
Yeah I'm not criticizing. I just find it amusing. Those two goofballs make a great pair together if I think objectively. It's a better match than the MC with her.

>>46834074
>Making a bro officially gay works too.
thats fucking woke I dont want a literal faggots in my jap vinnies

>>46834074
They should get a cute GF with a sprite.

>>46834085
Then there might be a chance that she gets popular enough to create demand for a FD. That might become problematic.

>>46834085
The bro character should be good looking, straight and have a cute girlfriend.

Just NTR your bro
He'll understant

>>46834083

You're way too late to the game.

>>46834106
nta but there are some things can't be done anymore because of the current state of affairs in the world. I used to like the whole gaijin heroine finds love with the MC despite their cultural differences but now that americans are pushing mixing shit so much that is not something that should really be touched in eroge in serious storylines since it will get hijacked by them to push their agenda in the same way the anime industry using using gay characters in a serious note was hijacked.

Koichoco came out in 2010 and it had a gay friend and a reporter with ambiguous sex dressing both as male and female who would probably get called trans in this day and age.
And no one cried about it being "woke" at the time.

>>46834106
this kind of narratives attracts woke tourists, anon

>>46834149
But isn't it your own brain rot based on being too immersed in the American culture war politics?
It has nothing to do with eroge and Japan in general.

>>46834165
Good thing that they don't exist in japan and you are never going to meet them if you won't be deliberately going on twitter

>>46834149
What? No one is hijacking gaijin heroines for some schizo shit agenda, there are barely any of those types of "people" that even read VNs. Not that the few that do should matter to anyone, they have nothing to do with Japan and Japanese companies.

>>46834165
You would only know about "those people" if actually you're one of them and from their spaces. off yourself

>>46828193
>teenage pregnancy is bad, is full of drama
But I want to see that drama, both MC and the heroine run away from home before both their parents find out, rent out on some shack in run down part of a city, MC has to do menial jobs to make ends meet, heroine seriously considering prostitution to bring more money to the household before their parents storms in at night, heroine's father beats MC up when he finds out her daughter's pregnant, but getting stopped by her, telling him that MC doesn't abandon her and make so much sacrifices for her and their future child, then the parents go home and phone them on the next day to return home and move to other town so both of them can continue their school after she gives birth, then time skip several years later with CG of them finally have a fulfilling life with their child as the ending.
Basically something like Akkan Baby or Ichigo no Gakkou but more serious and in single heroine VN format.

>>46834187
>>46834176
I will never gonna be a japanese, but I'm not a westoid either, so I'm safe.

>>46834212
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen any eroge involving teen pregnancy...my memory sucks too, so maybe that might influence it a bit

>>46834330
Ah no, wait I just remembered one and it was fairly recent 2020. That route was so good

>>46834343

I don't like that all the females in a group of friends gravitate only to MC.

>>46834036
The downfall of the bro character has been sad to watch. Lovepoppy literally doesn't even give him a name and I would be shocked if he has 50 lines total despite having a sprite and a voice. At that point why bother? Especially sad because lil' bro in Harem Kingdom is one of the best bro characters ever.

>>46834745

Everyone prefers to communicate anonymously. I'm the same as the people on anonymous bulletin boards in Japan, so I can understand what they're thinking.

On the west discord associated with transgenders, furry, feminism and LGBT movement, this is why a lot of people here dislike it. Google "cultural war". We have transvestites trying to use eroge as a weapon against us. Most of eroge translations are done by lgbtq+ activists who tend to add their political beliefs into translated work.

>>46834001
Bros in moege are typically a complete retard, gay, or have preference outside all the potential heroine to make them harmless.
Bros in more serious romance VNs are some of the greatest wingman who will even sabotage their own love life just for MC to get his chosen girl, e.g. tell the heroine of her true feelings to MC even though bro confess first, let MC "steal" the heroine away at bro's arranged marriage with her, stay to distract their enemy so MC and the heroine can escape, etc.

You know what? the fucking spammers are a fucking joke, it's the pretentious vntubers faggots that are going to really kill this shit. not just for people who learned japanese, but for everyone.

>>46840665
being a part of a niche anonymous imageboard thread is considered something cool and respectable these days
just by saying you browse 4chan you gonna get a ton of reactions from normies, adding japanese ero games on top is just a icing on the cake

Another point in favor of this theory is the increase of people on vndb reading mtl crap. Those people don't care about the quality of what they read, they just want to read something because “oh, untranslated eroge, so fascinating”.

>>46840682
>who use discord
Those vntubers and their core audience sadly actually consume things with their garbage MTL software. I don’t know why you’re defending it, do you use it yourself?

>>46836148

Gatekeeping something you love from being destroyed is the same as destroying it?
>wouldn't care about what a bunch of retarded zoomers do online with their time
I care about them affecting and destroying my hobby and beloved medium. It's already almost impossible to discuss, and will become truly impossible when discord is normalised even here.

I'm going to make accounts on discord and shill this thread there. Better to see something you love die completely than get degraded like this.

>>46840825
Don't get me wrong, you should shoo out any dumbass shilling their cultish glowware here. But otherwise the conversation is stupid. Wait until the zoomers rush in and tell them to fuck off when they clearly fail to fit in. Otherwise they've earned their stay imo

>>46840825
>affecting and destroying my hobby and beloved medium
I can imagine them invading western online communities, but are they really going to "destroy" the medium itself as in making VN companies start pandering to them? Even anime, despite how popular in the west it's perceived to be (only true for shounenshit), is still not super zoomerfied and westernized.

>>46840839
>Wait until the zoomers rush in
There are people openly admitting to discord use in this thread, before any popular videos were posted.

>>46840846
Those are trolls.

>>46840825
Better start a blog and write stuff to yourself. Besides a few rare people who genuinely care, it's over at this point.

>>46840844
>western online communities
That buy translated games on steam. They already started with anime. It's either extreme stupidity or extreme naivety to think they won't do the same with us.

Even the old ass soshage i play like Kancolle are all in discords these days

>>46840882
I'm saying that even in the worst case scenario you could just discuss things in Japanese. Or go to EGS. I know that's where I'm going once the ship sinks, if it ever does.

I wonder if we should go back to the IRC days

>>46838485
Not even close, i've always said this but this hobby literally gatekeeps itself because of its nature, no matter how much you recommend it wont be a problem, sometimes i talk about it with the few friends i have and tell them to read something because i know they wont do it, is pretty much the same when you talk about it on any board in this site, 99% of the people will just ignore your invitation to read VNs plain and simple, so there is still a chance the remainder 1% will try it, and that is such a small number that it wont impact in any way this hobby.

It truly is a shame that the community, at least in the west is infected by cancer, but the quality and target audience of eroge will not change and that's all it matters since it will keep trying to cater to the same audience it always has

>>46840966
>the community,
We need to make our own community. Not accept people who use cancerous sites and bring their ideas with them. Gatekeeping is necessary.
>the quality and target audience of eroge will not change
I believe in this too, at least for now since good writers are left.

Well, some eroge companies and writers are trying to target all-ages audience now. Look at Yuzusoft, Laplacian, Frontwing, Setoguchi, Sprite, Hozumi Kei, Masada, Jin, and Nitroplus (minus Chiral). So the ero aspect is indeed decreasing year by year. At least for plotge.

It's amazing to me how you all manage to come up with exactly the same doomer discussions every second thread for years and still not get bored from typing the same exact thing again and again
And yet literally nothing has changed for the last 5+ years, it's always been the same simple solution: use filters, ignore baits, post only on-topic stuff, done
Your pointless whining and crying statistically derail the threads far more than any shitposter could ever manage to achieve

>>46841138
>pure gyaru
yeah sure

>>46841145
Not a gyaru and barely pure.

>>46841145
thanks, i'll move this game up my backlog

i tried reading this shit because some anon was saying that the heroine is "weird" and the vn has a "surreal atmosphere" and i got interested
i dont usually read nukishit, and as expected it was so fucking boring. i dropped halfways through
it was filled with weird philosophical ramblings and boo hoo woe is me. the h scenes were disappointing, a lot of them focused on the mc's penis without even having the loli's chest/butt/vagina on screen
a much better experience is just going on exhentai and looking for some lolicon doujinshi, preferably yuri or futa

>>46841138
Eimi in Anetomo is probably my favorite.
But she's more of a mix between a klutz and a gyaru.
I haven't read Ambitious mission yet, the game is right there on my desktop, i'll read it one day.

>>46841176

>>46840853
>Better start a blog and write stuff to yourself.
I've been considering something like this. So I've been keeping a journal for almost 4 years now (it's supposed to be daily, but I hit maybe half the days in a year), and sometimes I go back and read an entry from the same date last year or the year before. And very rarely I leave a comment if whatever I wrote 2 years ago is particularly cringy or incomprehensible to current me. And recently I came across a comment I wrote last year about an entry from the year before.
So I got to thinking, what if I just commented on stuff every year and commented on the comments in subsequent years and so on? It would be like having a conversation with myself. Eventually after a few years I would have a lot to read and reply to every day.
The discussion is about VNs by the way because I write about them often in my journal when I play them.

I found it by looking at VOFAN (monogatari artist) being credited for the 3ds version’s art, but I find the original art more soulful.

>>46842294
It has a nice realistic atmosphere, but i didn't like the conclusion at all

>>46842309
You mean execution or the ideas?

>>46842320
I don't even remember what the plot was about anymore, but i clearly remember being triggered hard near the end and thinking what kind of garbage did i just read

>>46842294
>I found it by looking at VOFAN (monogatari artist) being credited for the 3ds version’s art, but I find the original art more soulful.
I looked at the characters page and the 3DS art kind of looks westoid/OELVN-like

>>46842309
>nice
>realistic
.........Which of the two?

>>46842370
Both of them.

>>46842376
Those two things are incompatible, sir.

>>46842383
You are wrong, madam.

>>46842383
Bad things removed from realism and the good exaggerated can make it nice. Realism doesn’t necessarily mean pandering to all the evil in the world.

>>46842370
The setting was some foreign city of the 90s and all the art was real photos, writing also was giving the vibes of the movies of the 90s so the immersive feeling was really nice

>>46842400
But the story is supposedly about depression or something like that.

>>46842417
I don’t think that precludes a game from being good if it isn’t done as a trauma dump with no hope.

>>46842456
That may be true, but is that the case with this VN?
