I'm looking forward to Sakigake ⇒ Generation!, just finished its trial.

It's my first untranslated VN. Well, my first VN overall, since I never actually read any translated ones. Right now I'm pretty happy with myself.

Some people spoke negatively about its artstyle in the previous thread, but I liked it. Especially characters' eyes. And I can't help liking the video game setting.

Now I'll read some moege, probably Daitoshokan, seems like a good choice.

The characters were the main point for me. Always a breeze of fresh air when you find out they aren't just reduced to some archetype cliché. I hope they don't delve midway into some half-assed plot and concentrate on the character interaction.

But yeah, the video game setting is also pretty cool.

Well the ideological separation of kami and buddhas only happened a few years before the ministry institution and wasn't entirely successful, so maybe it's supposed to show the hybridism that existed before? I haven't finished ayumi route yet though so maybe they go more in depth.

I mean, 神祇省 was notorious for its oppression of buddhism and christianity. Even featured in game 鶴岡八幡宮 was significantly damaged due to their policies. Kinda weird that he would burn down buddhist temples and at same time stick to their practices and lore.

Yeah, I agree there is definitely some sympathy mixed in with liking Setsuna. If you like Kazusa, you'll definitely like coda. Even though I prefer Setsuna, I do quite like Kazusa too, and you'll be getting a lot of her.

Yeah, even though I enjoyed Chiaki's route she is probably my least favourite heroine. I feel that for Mari's ending he was rushing a bit, when all he had was a year left of university anyway. I suppose it may be something of "love is really strong", but the way it was expressed made it feel a bit more he was rushing just because of lust. Then again, lust is fairly strong and it brings around the point of people not always making the most rational decision.

My favourite side-heroine was Koharu, although her route got a little annoying at times with both of the main characters hating themselves.

>>11960139
Koharu was my favourite too, she's too damn cute.

As for Mari's ending, I'd disagree with the lust part. He wanted to dump Setsuna early in the route, and him leaving with Mari was more out of desperation as she left him that call. In fact, Haruki was probably least annoying in this route because he was actually decisive in regards to what he wanted..

Finally finished senshinkan, being a slow reader I am (and had difficulty with some lines).

Enjoyed it very much, it's far more rounded experience than I expect from normal action style. Characters are given their bits in relevance and spotlight scenes, and not outrageous impossibility. The other sides are like anti-heroes rather than enemies, for their intended purpose. The amount of interactions from them with the hero side surprises me, making them less one-dimensional and smarter than common baddies. Considerable time just talking, taunting, without throwing a punch.

The narrative style makes sense to me and there is a good progress flow where you don't have to sit long between lines before the next bit. It also had a rather "warm" feeling to it, even with the frequent descriptions of disgusting imageries. In contrast to say, Bradyon Veda, which consistently having a cooler feel. Not that I find any problem with either, just something that springs to mind.

Picture related is the sort of character I wish in other VNs more often.

Finished Gleam Garden no Shoujo. It was totally what I expected: plenty of really grim and dark themes, cool MC with steel testicles and cute girls with sad past. Writing is good, phrases flow smoothly and somehow poetic, pure pleasure compared with previously read Leyline. Music is good, OP is godly and probably my favorite. I was not interested in routes of three main girls, so read through Chitose route and skipped Izumi and Kusunoki. Shirayuki route is my favorite: one of the best girls, good drama and ending+epic moment in forest. Luna route was good but could be better. Very predictable with this obvious twists, rushed interactions and out of place h-scenes, repetitive narration, but has a hell lot of CGs and nice action, not to mention a heroine HHHHHNNGGGGG I'm dying.
Overall it's solid and kinda exciting but has it's own flaws so I won't say must read. Really enjoyed it. 8.5/10.
Seems like next one will be Izuna Zanshinken.

>Izuna Zanshinken
Interested to hear about that one, it looks like it'd be the VN equivalent of a good action flick.

I liked Luna's route ending a fair bit better than Snow White's, I found Shirayuki's a pretty big anticlimax after bringing in the squad of what looked like the X-men they just kind of vanished afterwards instead of the all-out battle on the school/research compound I was hoping for.

Still fun to read, though I got really sick of that whole narrative device where someone says something dramatic, fade to black, skip ahead to after the conversation ended, and then the MC goes "oh yeah, that reminds me of what she was saying..." and then it flashes back to finish the other half of the conversation except now it's in sepia.

Which is okay except they did it for almost every other speech more than 3 minutes long.

Because loyalty is paid by the localizing company, even if nobody buys the game. So buying localized games really only helps getting more localized games.

If you want to contribute, put a preorder on the latest game the company makes, anything else is of little importance.

I thought Yuki's route was the worst actually. It felt like the writer wrote himself into a corner and had to rely on bullshit magic time travel to get out of it. There were also some things unexplained like why the two were able to time travel, why was Yuki talking to some kind of hallucination of herself (during her first hospital scene), and what time travel had to do with candles.
The whole thing with Yuki suddenly becoming the child of some random people the story never even mentioned before was silly too.

Also, breast milk in the ero scenes when they're not even pregnant.

Girls be Ambitious is really nothing special apart from having half-decent male sidekicks. Your average comedy pure love game, with some horribly dull drama in the actual heroine routes. The exact same "we're from different social classes, we can't date!" scenario is repeated three times.

Haruka ni Aogi is a better ojousama heroine pure love game, but also suffers from some repetition in form of the protagonist having to solve his own trauma in 5 out of 6 routes. As per the usual pure love routine most of the drama comes from the characters simply not talking to each other about their feelings, so the enjoyment may vary depending on how much you're willing to stuff that type of scenarios. The heroines themselves are generally really fun characters though. There's two different writers and I generally enjoyed the first three routes more than the second half.

Yes it does.
Especially since IM1 doesn't really have a good story in general and the remake doesn't look much better especially with its bloated interface.
I'll be far more excited about a remake of 2 but anyone who would take it over the Rance in Hellman game probably just doesn't follow the Rance series at all.

>>11961844
Rance Quest Magnum has a median of 85 in egs if you want to go for these arguments.
The vanilla version of RQ had a lot of problems I agree but with Magnum RQ is definitely a great game.

Finished Love la Bride.
I was planning on posting about how absolutely terrible it was halfway through, but I'm glad i had the patience of a buddha, because the last route felt like a different game.
While on the first 4 the mc was a complete piece of shit that had to be pulled along by the heroines, and the route's best part was them calling him trash, in the main heroine's route he even managed to be a little manly, and wasn't the cause of the drama.

It's been a long time but iirc it's basically the easiest to get as long as you balance both values. Getting the machine doll character basically guarantees you have enough chaos for it.
The Law end is the one that has very specific requirements, but it's not canon and is everything goes well happy end so you can just do whatever you want.

Alright then. I hope cooperating with those thieves wont screw me over in the long run. And will the game ever stop reminding me that the parents of Louie/Louis/Riui are dead?
Unrelated, but I really liked the CG in pic related. VNs et al tend to not have darker colour palettes like this anymore, which is a shame.

By the way, did anyone else have this issue in the IMM trial where the direction keys were permanently stuck upwards? I thought it might have something to do with all the new mouse problems caused by those changes introduced in W8.1.

Why spoonfeed retards though? We went years without these dumb charts and I see no need for them now.

I don't mind helping people but the idea of a chart like this one irritates me because charts inspire a type of groupthink I don't want here (wait until people seriously start thinking these titles are the definitive starting moonspeak eroge) and because if someone is too fucking lazy to even be able to just pick an eroge that interests them (because that's all you need to do to choose your first Japanese eroge) they are scum who I don't want in this thread.

Consider it a trade-off for warding off the mentally feeble before they incessantly ask for suggestions.

Most of us who are serious about moving onto the untranslated territory usually have the bottom line individuality to pick out a title that interest them, whether it be recommended or generally dismissed as bland moege known only for its cutesy art.

I've just end Saya no Uta for the first time (also my third VN after MGQ and KS) and I've loved it, but there is something I still don't understand: Did Ougai (Saya's summoner/ father) put the nanomachines in Fuminori' head so he could see and love Saya? Or it was really a screwed up of other doctors? (An awful explanation for such a important plot point).

Also, why didn't Saya cured Fuminori madness AND transform herself in a human woman, so they could be happily together? (until she destroy the world), or cure him, transform him in another eldritch abomination and go back to her original dimension. She doesn't look like a "super intelligent being" to me...

Still a great novel, few plot flaws, truly terrifying, disturbing and lovely at the same time, and the best Lovecraftian-like story I've enjoyed, after Alien, The Thing, and Dark Corners of the Earth.

PD: Any good political thriller VN out there? I want more VNs now but all recomendations seem to have very characters focused plots, and I want something more of "bigger scale" right now.

The second one is much better, though the non-canon side "routes" suffer from same shit as the first one. I agree that the first game's final ending felt like an ending to some generic daytime anime's beginning episode.

Finished Lovely potion 69.
I just picked a random short game from my backlog, and didn't expect it to be this good. It has the same kind of humor as fureraba and hitotsu tobashi, which really hits the spot for me, and the soundtrack was pretty nice.
I liked Reon's ending more than the poliamorous one, since not only my favorite girl succeeds in world peace and love, I'm to possesive to share a girlfriend with another person, even my own other girlfriend.
I was starting to get disilusioned with moege after playing a few shitty ones, but this got my hopes back. Since it's so short, I definitely recommend a read.

Speaking of this topic, I have been wondering for some time how シルフィル should be properly rendered in Latin letters. From in-game information, we know that this is supposed to mean "son of the wind", and while フィル is obviously supposed to be French "fils", the シル part is less evident. Obviously they have been thinking about "sylph", yet that doesnt exactly fit, nor does it really work in that context.

I can't stand Chiaki either. The love she has for Haruki at the end of her route comes off as disingenuous, honestly. It wouldn't surprise me if she were so deep into her actress persona that she believed she was in love with him for real. It seems like the kind of thing she'd do.

>>11960174
Agreed. It's like the original situation presented towards the end of IC done right. Setsuna kept evading meeting up with him because she knew what was coming. The old Haruki might have left her off with it, but the Haruki in Mari's route has gained the conviction to let her down completely and force her to face reality. So as a result, he's able to leave with Mari without holding any Setsuna-shaped regrets, as such.

Learn japanese and suddenly that title will be much better. Seriously. Also, they're permitted, but expect elitism and backlash from some people here who redirect everything to /vg/.

Bitch, please. I've watched anime with rich girls and their ojou-sama shenanigans. I think I can figure both of those out by myself.

From my extensive research, I can tell it's something like Richie Rich, only gender-reversed and comes in two flavors of either the Western variety--frilly dress, tea parties and all, or of the traditional Japanese--with their dainty waifs and flower arrangements. Also, girls born into those families who are of marriageable age unanimously have terrible tastes in men, opting to pick the ordinary middle-class shomin over handsome, fabulous rich guys while pushing aside the prospect of becoming inherited if she so much as brings up the idea of marriage with the logically inferior option.

Well, I'm working on my Japanese - I have formal instruction, but it's been a while and I've been trying to make time to memorize more of the kanji. Good to hear that my suspicions of translation interference were well-founded. The elitism/backlash is something I'd expect.

I can certainly understand where you're coming from on the ending and that's why I'm of two minds on that point. On the other hand, I can get rather attached to characters, Thus, while that ending is certainly appropriate, it doesn't make it any less depressing.

Light novels are the absolute lowest among the wish fulfillment media filled with hackneyed plot developments bloated into hundreds of pages of lengthy drivels which deliver nothing of interest. Also, the lack of pretty pictures and sound at every corner to compensate, compounded by the sheer audacity of the authors who expect you to shell out money for their word vomit, further amplifies the already shittastic medium. Shitty J -> C -> E translations are just the tip of the iceberg.

Try looking for some historical novels or anything else that has basis on reality and/or sanity. I can't guarantee their quality, but they're at least than the eye rape light novels would subject you to.

My main problems with LNs tend to be their main heroine syndrome and how they just keep adding characters by the volume because the writer obviously doesn't know how to keep things fresh with the same cast.
Otherwise they are basically anime without pictures and voices.

I've been getting into LNs these days and so far I liked Zaregoto, Jintai, Aura, Saredo Tsumibito ha Ryuu to Odoru, Iriya no Natsu, Hadzukirion no Teikoku and Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi

If you want good writing you can't go wrong with what I cited, though I tried several other LNs but most ended up being complete trite with horrible writing and especially the romantic comedy ones always end up being shit so I'm not really the biggest expert about that media, but usually if it takes place in a school you have to avoid it, hard.

For actual novels it's more complicated, there is a tons of pretty interesting books.
Personally I'd start with Ogawa Yoko, I always liked her writing style but there are some other good contemporary writers.

There's an ebook version of satsuriku if you want, but as far as physical books are concerned, I just use amazon most of the time.
