I've been reading DI at a very slow pace, only touching it every few days. Kei route was full of boring fighting but Marie route seems pretty good so far.

Have some chachamaru

Was Tsuki 2: Crossdressing Boogaloo as good as the first? I'd be interested in the imouto route but I feel like the other girls might just end up being filler.

Then again that's sorta what happened with the first so I'm probably answering my own question here. Still, Luna and Ursula routes were great, and Asahi was a surprisingly likeable protagonist.

Playing Comyu. It's alright so far. Compared to RuiTomo the plot is more interesting, but I'm liking the main character a lot less than I liked Tomo.

Also playing Sorechiru. As someone whose favorite VN is OreTsuba, this game is fantastic. I hear the individual routes get pretty bad, but I'm still on the common route and loving it.

Is he voiced in the Complete Edition? I tried to install it, but it kept asking me for the master disk or something.

I kind of like having him unvoiced though. I ended up turning off the male MC voices in OreTsuba After Story because I just couldn't get used to them.

I've just cleared my first route, I went for Azusa.
Picked based more or less entirely on her adorable design.
She gets much cuter as the route goes on too, that alone merits giving it a go in my opinion.
Also she gets abit less rude, which was a bonus.

This is my first Cation game and the quantity of H-Scenes seems a little overblown, at least more than I'm used to and I do read a fair amount of moege, would've preferred more icha or something at least.

>>13757998
No. Scores rarely are as people tend to enjoy things for very different reasons and it's hard to put VNs in any kind of objective scale.

I'd say it's even worse for less known titles than for popular ones as you can usually get some kind of idea about the kind of games something is, even if scores are mostly worthless, but for less popular ones you rarely get even that and occasionally the reviews make a game seem completely different from what it actually is.

Scores are mostly worthless in reviews anyway, which is why I'd recommend you to give a game you're interested in a shot. You're probably going to pirate it anyway so it's not like you'll lose something by forming your own opinion.

Most of the time japs don't seem to care. It's hard to say what is good in any of those anyway. Some people like a lot faster games, others prefer long, drawn out stories; some like certain things (like character drama), others absolutely hate them and so on. Some people absolutely hate what you like and someone loves the things you don't like.

All scores are 100% subjective and will never be that useful in telling if you'd like something or not.

I remember quite some threads ago some anon shared his method of appraising scores.
Basically a painstaking method of looking for people with similar scores and weeding out the ones who vary too much.
I know scores are very subjective but if you can find some 'kindred spirits' who share your tastes it helps.
Nobody has the time to spend afew hours trying every VN they might be into.

That works only if the game you're looking at has been played by someone like that and they have enough reviews that you can tell their tastes. It's fine if you want to know if you should play big, popular games but for anything else it doesn't do shit.

You'll probably know if you like the game couple of hours in anyway, which is about the time it tends to take for me to read enough reviews to learn bunch of people's tastes.

Can anyone suggest me some games which have drama about the "protagonist", not heroines? I'd like to play with a protag who has a tragic past or have kinda depressing aura, but not hetare.

The closest example I can think of is もっと姉、ちゃんとしようよっ's protag, he was blaming himself for their mother's dead and was making wall between himself and all heroines. Something like that would be great. In short I'm searching for protagonists which makes wall between himself and heroines at least until the heroine routes.

It's okay. There's quite a bit of actual plot in there too so it's hard to call it a nukige, but I couldn't really recommend the game to most people due to abundance of fucked up H-scenes unless they're already into that kind of shit or just want a dose of "why the fuck am I playing this".
>終の空
Rinne's route is probably what the people were talking about and it's the only one of the optional routes I'd recommend doing if one just wants to get through the plot bits as it's pretty great, a lot better than Rika or the teacher's routes that don't really add any major stuff and have stupid endings. Though they were probably referring to events and that sort of thing rather than writing style or denpa.

The one thing I didn't really get was who did he give the hair ornament to?

Yeah well, most of the story occurs in a dream world because the MC was in some kind of coma after almost drowning in a lake.

It's revealed in Hitomi's route, which is kind of a true end and is unlocked after you finish Chiho, Miyuki and Nori. But if you weren't very engaged in it to begin with you didn't miss much. Miyuki's route was more focused in actual movie making, though.

I honestly think we're thinking of different archetype.

Hetare means good-for-nothing. It's not an unwilling hero but a cowardly or useless one. A reluctant hero would be someone who doubts himself but does the right thing despite that, while hetare is someone who may know what the right thing to do is but doesn't follow up on it. Hetare is not the guy who doesn't want to get involved, he's the guy who can't take the opportunity or make the decision.

In a character you could. The thing is, we're talking about archetypes instead of actual characters and especially in a medium like VNs where the archetype applies outside adventure stories. >>13766512 doesn't even describes hetare as much as it does part of a typical hero's journey. Hell, even >>13766542 is kind of a miss. Neither of them are traits that are associated with hetare archetype in particular. A hetare character wouldn't necessarily have either of these traits and actually most outside certain kinds of stories don't.

I don't really mind "average" work, but when something has small elements that stand out positively I tend to favor it. It could still be very much quite average when it comes to the style.

Key (Itaru Hinoue in particular, but Na-Ga as well) just feels like the facial proportions are awkward most of the time so I end up disliking them. The only one I found nice from Key was CO2A/Komatsu Eiji.

Examples of what I find nice, in no particular order, would be artists like

Misaki Kurehito
Komori Kei
Happoubijin
INO
Alpha
Takeya Masami
Gentle Sasaki
Noizi Itou
Ooishi Ryuuko
Hisasi
Piromizu

among a lot of others. It's probably rarer that I end up disliking art though, like in the case of Itaru and personally, Ishikawa Saasha.

All Japanese is equally easy to read, with some novels deviating from the norm and therefore being harder. Therefore, I recommended Nukige because they are generally shorter and have constant H-Scenes which serve as rewards for reading bits of SOL. Obviously, something from Dark Lilith would be fairly hard to read, while random nukige are pretty short and have no problems.

I don't really think so. If anything, plot-focused things are easier. Often, the hardest part of reading Japanese is deciphering slang and slurs, so to speak. Emotional, non-natural ways of writing. Those are all over the place in anything, including moege, while plot-focused things tend to have more clear and grammatical writing. It'd be more tedious to go through due to vocabulary but not harder.

tl;dr: Grammar is far much more of a problem than vocabulary in terms of difficulty for beginners, so a moege and a plot-focused thing wouldn't be too different in difficulty.

>All Japanese intended for Japanese adult natives to consume is of roughly equal difficulty considering that standards in language have arisen with globalization. As stated an exception to this is when works intentionally deviate from said norm, however since most works are just standard Japanese intended for normal people to read it the majority of works are of roughly equivalent difficulty.
1% of novels are Finnegans Wake which are abnormally hard due to intentionally fucking with the language (or intentionally using outdated/obscure bits of language), 10% are children's books which are "easier" given that they contain less content and simpler ideas, and 89% are stuff like Dean Koontz or Stephen King or whatever that are pretty much the same difficulty.
