This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.

What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished? You know the drill.

Finished Nanaho's route in Nanatsu no Fushigi no Owaru Toki. I don't know if I really want to continue.

It's like a mystery of sorts, that's a mystery for the wrong reasons. The author(s) love to leave out information that are later on given when some things are explained. At the end that gets pretty retarded as everything feels like deus ex machina which later on gets explained as "this was all prepared beforehand!". You know, girl gets stabbed but conveniently prepared for that beforehand and had a can at the right place so she doesn't get too hurt from it. That style.

The route itself was also a bit disappointing. A lot of what happened before seems of no consequence and it existing or not doesn't matter. The final drama is also pretty far fetched and just.. my god. So deliberately written for misunderstanding scenes. So forced. Not like this.

The game has a mostly good cast and if it had been more normal mystery, it'd be a hit for sure. Heck, with the exception of the final story it was still kinda alright as you could at least guess things in some way, although most "evidence" is impossible to know as you lack knowledge for it. Really unfortunate.

Played that one myself and none of the other routes were any better, worse in fact. Which sucks a little since it had a nice atmosphere and cast interactions but any time it got serious it got eye-rollingly bad.

At least the art was nice, I guess.

Bummer. I'll probably continue the game and just skip if it ends up similar (or worse, as you say). I do agree that it's quite fine outside of the plot. And as long as the plot isn't trying too much I suppose.

But I guess that's unfortunately relatively normal with eroge. Makes the few games that can get serious and do that well stand out all the more.

Finished Yukako route in 人気声優のつくりかた, quite a good route and heroine though ironically the seiyuu wasn't that good, specially in high pitches she would sound literally like a goat lol

The game was a good surprise as I started reading it because of the topic of seiyuus and when I started I realized it was a quite good vn with an actually fun to read common route and loveable characters, though it lacked some deep in the plot the characters make up for it and the climaxes were quite well done as I got excited too.

Don't know or care who that is but it may be a matter of expectations.
This is basically Saya no Uta lite (really lite). Almost no actual horror or edginess. If you go in expecting some epic thriller or a proper Lovecraftian story this clearly isn't it.
The best aspect of it is probably the language. It's quite pleasant to read and a bit poetic. I also like how introspective it is. At the end of the day it's a doujin game about a love story with quite a bit of fluff. I think one of the girl's route was cut but that's clearly not what the game ended up being about so it's really not a big deal.

Is 4D hadler? Ultimately it's not really a big deal but I can't help but feel a little strange about westerners posting and voting on EGS instead of just sticking to VNDB since doing so skews data that would otherwise be representative of only the Japanese audience. Shame VNDB does not have a dedicated reviews section like EGS though.

No. What a weird post you just made. It's not like even if people did, the small number of people who read in Japanese over here is so small it wouldn't affect anything. Not like seeing what nationality prefers what is all that interesting anyways, it's mostly the same.

But I disagree about the ending. It could have been expanded but it concluded everything important in the story. Also some of Lovecraft's own stories also end rather abruptly so maybe it's a bit deliberate.

What are the best or must read doujin games anyways?

Played through Mushi no Me, SeaBed and Chuusotsu recently and the first two were pretty great while the last one was also alright despite leaving the bigger plot hanging. Heard that JQV is supposedly good, but also that it's somehow homage to or takes influence from Cross Channel and Saihate no IMA so I'm wondering if it would end up feeling like a watered down / "been there done that" version of those two.

If you've read (and liked) those two then JQV is a must read. It wouldn't really get much praise if it was "those but bad" now would it? Hiruou is one of the most talented writers in the scene, both doujin and commercial-wise.

Idk if it really counts as a visual novel because there is some actual gameplay to it, but does anybody know of anyone who is currently translating Danganronpa v3 in it's entirety?

I know a guy on YouTube translated the whole first chapter but he said he wouldn't translate any further and it kind of bummed me out.

Speaking of Pulltop, seems like for their 15th anniversary you can get almost all their games from the main-brand in one package for 15000yen on DMM. (15games, the first 2 or so are missing I think) Only for a month though. For eroge pretty damn cheap if you don't have many of those games already. Especially considering, that it even includes their most recent works, not just old stuff or something.

In general if people here struggle to start new things: Install things in small batches and set things up (patches, add-ons, whatever may exist), and when it's time to choose, just double-click on something. Not needing to install it first and so on and so forth makes it far easier to just start a game, doubly so as you'll have only a small amount to choose from, and not your whole (probably) way bigger backlog.

Late to the party but finally finished Seabed. That was fantastic, although some parts felt a little too bloated. Everything from chapter 6 on was particularly amazing.

Just to check with others that have finished the game, is it normal to have the last few CGs in the gallery never have shown up in the narrative? I swear that I don't recognize some. I've read all of the tips of course.
Again to double check to see if I actually read everything, it feels like there should be an extra bubble between the gallery and the config. Should there have been some other option show up at the end?

i was in that position not too long ago, just pick something that looks good to you instead of one of the 'classics' or whatever. be a creature of impulses. if you don't wanna 'waste' one of the big name ones, poke around a bit until you find something not famous but that looks neat.

the catch is you gotta be okay to drop it if it turns out to suck. have a high turnover rate until you're sure you want to settle in for the long haul.

Why don't eroge have more scenes for the sex scenes, i see hentai manga do it alot, meanwhile eroge might have like 2 images and a cumshot version of the second image.

i mean I'm kinda pissed after reading this korean hentai and well theres tons of different sex images for one sex scene I first thought maybe its just coloring in but they coloured this in fine. It really shouldn't be too hard.

School days does this but as for other eroge, not as much.

Why can't they add more images for the sex? Is it budget?

All I'm doing is looking at a single image or two and listening to moans and talking.

Eroge could easily surpass manga if it had the same or even slighly less of amount of sex images that manga has, due to it having colour and sound.

I guess i just wanted more out if this medium.

Full-price eroge have ~80 images, part of that is a bunch of SD art, usually cut-ins and MUCH less detailed. (though can still be awesome. I love the stuff used in Natsukuru for example)

So if you'd have 10 CG per scene, you can calculate how many scenes you'd have for a girl. 1.
If you'd want to do this like manga, you'd need to go away from the CG idea. Manga doesn't put as much effort into a single picture. Backgrounds are barely to not at all used, and for the most part you only have small cuts of the girl or whatever shown. Also usually black and white, if not it gets more expensive rather fast. (in part because of printing, in part because good colors aren't even that easy and increase the workload by A LOT) Basically, eroge would need to be like manga, and yet not at the same time, as you don't want the scenes to be as short.. usually.

That said, once 3d is big enough and looks good enough, I'd assume eroge will adapt this kind of thing, as it'll be much cheaper to show the girl from a slightly different angle in the same "position" than it is right now. But for now that's not going to happen. Quality color art takes quite a bit of time. So even if you had the money, requesting 500 cg from a single artist.. well yeah. There's a reason why games with a lot of art usually have more than one artist. (in fact it happens a whole lot in general, with backgrounds, cg and SD all done by different people)

Anonymous Wed Mar 15 13:06:55 2017 No.16716860

>>16716711
okay but i mean it doesn't have to be as detailed you could do cut ins of the sex.

To smaller things like the dick slowy going in, lip biting or kisses. Plus I've seen some more lazy eroge already have the sex image displayed but just zoom in to the girl's face before it begins and when the sex starts they just zoom out and show the penis is already in. (The sex was a single image)

They could do something like danganronpa's breakdown where they have smaller images to show stuff happening, so they don't have to go into much detail.
https://youtu.be/kRUjGAMupDw?t=1h54m10s
(ignore the dub i just wanted an example)
These don't have to be the actual sex and can just show over the actual sex image, but its to show smaller actions like turning, kisses, semen build up and so on, like i mentioned previously.

There are a ton of ways to do so.

Still at first i assuned it was from laziness like sakura no uta having rina's 2 sex scenes just an image flip of another or how her cowgirl sex is just her going and down a few centimetres, with nothing like shoulders or anything move position.

Still yeah 3d would be easier to do.

Getting further through Natsukuru, having just finished the titty loli arc.

It's so polarizing for me. Sometimes I just read and before I realize half an hour or more has passed.. and sometimes I get annoyed by the same unfunny joke getting repeated 20 times, the same reasoning getting repeated with slightly different words, the "battles" being shit, ero-scene placement being some of the worst I've seen in a while and whatnot.
Makes me quite interested in Akikuru though, with what I've heard about it. I just hope I like the characters more then.

Yanzuma Koharu is probably the closest an eroge comes to meeting manga halfway in terms of amount of art, use of frames and cut-ins, etc. Hope you're into NTR. Other games from the doujin group might do something similar (never played any), but you're still getting NTR.

So far I like Harukuru more as well, but for other reasons. Maybe I'll write about it at some point, but I don't really want to before I haven't actually finished Natsukuru. It'd be kinda silly to do this without that. It's a kuru game after all.

I only read half the trial and stopped because I didn't want to spoil myself, and yes the game is extremely interesting. The writing has alot of details in it and the mind games start from the first hour, so you will be pulled in from the start to finish. Also the H scenes are extremely good.

Yeah, Takigawa-san is a real cutie. It's easy to hate her after she attacks Toshobu, but other scenes redeem her.

But I felt her story in Daito fandisc was done too hastily. I'd prefer something with slower story development or even explorative of her love for Maho vs. new love for Kakei. Or a threesome ending.

Or just not twist her character in weird ways. (Which includes both her "love" and the way they forced the villain-role in a stupid way on her)

Well, not the first character that was good, and could've stayed good, but was fucked up because a villain was needed and then a fandisc was needed. To be fair though, most of the true route was fucked up. I'm still pretty disappointed about how shafted Kodachi was.

For one thing, her not doing a 180° switch without a reason. She screams, is angry and whatnot and then a minute later is like "alright, whatever, I'll be your girlfriend, tehe".
Gets even more sad when you think about the other routes and realize how a very "similar" issue was in Kana's route and that was actually handled way better. Basically it was way too rushed and nonsensical, like a lot in the true route in general.

There were also other silly things, like them just randomly adding character traits they haven't covered yet to her, for no reason and them never actually mattering. So she's suddenly the childhoodfriend and imouto of sorts, because why not, right? That was still missing! Who cares about plot.

That said, I think an option like what you said would be a good idea as well. Because that plot-line felt a bit.. unfinished as well.

I'm still a bit confused so they get the main family to have a child with the mum and father having pure blood. Then the husband gets a mistress to have a child who has half the pure blood.
Then the half blood child has to a child to pure blood child as the concubine/mancubine.

Isn't that still incest?
They said they get away without breaking the law.

Also what happens to the quarter blood child do they married to another quarter blood child or get a mistress? And the cycle continues?

Can't they run away when older without being forced to have a kid?

Can't they tell anybody about the technical forced rape and incest? How about when they do leave when they are older like Kei's mum

I mean if they were that powerful they could fuck their brothers and sisters all day and have pure blood non-stop, without worrying about the law.
Though I mean genetic defects don't really happen after a single generation from my understanding.
They could do this without worrying about the law but apparently they do, enough to warrant a system like this. They could swap back and forth now and again if they were worried about birth defects.

Also from this system it seems the concubine/mancubine holds more weight than the wife as the wife would pretty much only taint the pure blood. why get married?

Dunno. Was Daito that much better because it crammed "romance" and the mandatory h-content at the end of the routes? Into like half an hour.

I just think Chrono Clock was simply not too good. That's all there is to it. It happens. The ero being in the extra menu doesn't make a good game bad. Nor is having little romance in a moege a recipe for disaster.

For that we'd need an actually good game that does this first.
Sure, if you create a meh moege where the biggest "selling point" is art and ero, and that is just part of the extra-menu and not much of it is there either.. you goofed up. Which is most likely exactly what happened with Chrono Clock.

I know people say, trains was alright because it unlocked content during the game, but is that really such a massive difference when routes aren't that long anyway? (in CC)
And then Leyline with its rather small amount of ero. I supposed technically some of it is kinda part of the main-game, but not really part of the main-story.
Heck, wasn't Magical Charming exactly like that as well? The main-game having absolutely 0 ero. It's all part of little after-stories, though they also have some slice of life and whatnot so it's not really comparable with just flat-out ero-scenes from an extra-menu. But well, I don't know how CC did that, could be similar enough.

Uh, historically ALL non-console VNs require ero to sell, not just moege. Hell your own Leyline example is perfect, it literally makes the game worse by having it included, but they have to add it regardless. Same for Senshinkan, Eustia (side routes AND omake), Baldr... etc. It's hardly a new discovery.

Don't know how Chrono Clock compares, but I wouldn't really call Magical Charming's things after stories or the "main game having 0 ero", even if the credits roll after the confession scene in every route and the continuation is accessed separately from the main menu. They're the actual main dating part with both SoL stuff and H-scenes like you mentioned, so I'd say it's better to call them the other half of the heroine routes rather than just extra. Especially since you need to clear all of them anyways in order to access the true route.

But like you said Leyline had one straight plot with side heroine routes being short half-assed extras, Eustia supposedly does a similar thing, yet both were liked regardless of that so it might just be about Chrono Clock being shit even when disregarding the H-scenes as extras or just wrongly marketed.

>>16728014
I don't really think those are good examples of ero actively making the games somehow worse. Some cases do feel like the game wouldn't really suffer that much if you took certain H-scenes out, but in your examples I didn't really see them conflicting with the story or character relationships either. Plus, in both Leyline and Eustia's case you can just skip the side heroines altogether. When I think of ero "ruining" games I think of something like Furuiro Meikyuu Rondo that's pretty much one straight road instead of separate routes with one central heroine constantly in the focus, yet the protagonist fucks many other girls with the flimsiest of reasons.

It's not really about ruining them, because if they were ruined I wouldn't be playing them myself. As you said, you can easily circumvent it by skipping in some cases. But "skip" can't be an argument for it being good. In all of those cases they're objectively unnecessary additions and don't contribute anything to further the narrative in a meaningful way (that fade to black can't do). Skipping ahead 20 pages in some books might not be a problem, but you can't help asking yourself why they weren't simply cut. Or worse, what if you don't know you can skip it (e.g. Eustia is released tomorrow and no one knows the side routes suck but some poor souls stumble into them and think the game is ass as a result, only to latter learn you're supposed to skip it). When everything needs porn shoved in no matter how focal it is to the story to sell it clearly shows that is why people buy it, even in "plot" games. But well, that's a problem with the industry that can't be fixed (except by creators jumping ship over to consoles where people don't care).

>In all of those cases they're objectively unnecessary additions and don't contribute anything to further the narrative in a meaningful way (that fade to black can't do).
Regular books, video games and movies also have sex scenes, even ones that aren't necessarily focused on romance. Not usually as explicit as eroge of course unless we're talking about actual porn, but by that same train of logic you could consider pretty much anything non-explicit "unnecessary" as well (like SoL, other character interactions, jokes etc.) if they don't directly contribute to advancing the plot or tie to the work's main themes. And that's an okay opinion to have if you feel like VNs suffer from too much padding, which is admittedly the case way too many times.

Sex is just one type of character interaction and you could certainly complain about non-nukige H-scenes being shit, but I don't think it's fair to say something like Baldr or Senshinkan are worse off specifically because of explicit H-scenes in particular while other character interaction fluff gets a free pass for some reason.

You'd also have a point if talking about whether plot focused games have a need for routes with romance at all. And in that case console / all-ages VNs are just as guilty as eroge, take f.ex. Chaos;Child where the main plot gets thrown out of the window for the compulsory side heroine routes.

I like the romances I read to depict all major firsts for the couple because otherwise I feel left out. If the story skips past the couple's first meeting, or their love confession, or their first kiss, or the first time they have sex, or the proposal, or the marriage, I don't feel like a participant in the romance anymore (either as the dude or as the guy who's giving the dude advice.) I just start feeling like a cheerleader on the sidelines, or worse, a stranger. "Uninvolved" is not a word you want to describe your audience.
I don't care if it's encounter, confession, kiss, sex, proposal or marriage, if any of the six fades to black I'd be upset. I don't even care if the sex is hot as long as it's sentimental and gives me closure.
Maybe some people just have better taste than I do and are capable of enjoying a story purely in terms of theme and philosophy. I like that heavy stuff too, but I also like the warmth of watching love bloom between two people. I find simple joy in seeing the heroine smiling at the man she loves, standing on her tiptoes for his kiss, or breathing softly as she sleeps beside him. If an author can take those beautiful moments and somehow make them irksome, then they're just incompetent.
Not every VN has to be a romance, and not every romance has to be 18+. However, in the world where Front Wing, Type-Moon and Nitroplus have all made multiple all ages VNs it's hard to find tears for the prudes.
Skipping to the end of a sex scene will always be an option for them, but those who choose to will miss out on some of the most emotionally intense scenes in all of VNs. The brutal protagonist's motions become suddenly gentle, the kuudere melts and tearfully confesses her feelings in the rush of the moment, the two virgins shudder as they call each other by their first names for the first time- I love it all. If you truly find your VN's sex scenes "skippable", I suggest you find one with a better author.

TLDR: Girls are cute when they have sex

There's a difference between immersion and actually thinking you're playing the part. Especially since, you know, a VN has a ton of dialogue and narration from an MC. Kind of hard to consider yourself the MC when he's constantly thinking and saying and doing things you aren't having any part of. I have no problem with being immersed. I do think it's silly, though, to actually complain about being reminded that no, you're not literally the dude fucking the girl.
>>16729165
Well yeah, more or less. In the first place, you're not making every decision about how he interacts with her. No game has that many choices. And then, beyond that, the MC has a lot of autonomy outside of your control, thinking and doing things outside of the romance you have no control over. What, do you think you're pressing some magical yasashii button to make MCs be yasashii which in turn makes you pretty much the dude fucking her? Sorry, but no. At most, you press a few buttons that trip a flag that sets the MC on the route with a girl, and that's that. You're like a stranger, a cheerleader indeed, guiding the man and woman together, but not being a part of it.
I mean imagine talking to the girl. Like imagine you, YOU, teleported into the VN world. Imagine the conversation. "Hello Mizuki, it's me your boyfriend. Wait, what? I don't look like him? I don't sound like him? Well it's simple, I was playing a VN - you're a video game character character by the way - and I made your boyfriend go to the music room instead of the cafeteria one day, resulting in him meeting you, which ended up with you two dating. That makes me your boyfriend. Don't you love me? I love you. Wait, why are you looking at me like I'm crazy? I'm telling you, I'm the one who set you two up! Thank me! Date me!

I'm not pretending that the MC is real, I don't know where you got that from. He's a character in the story. He exists as a story character, is what I was trying to get across, which I think you misunderstood.
Furthermore, people are "forcibly reminded of this" every time the heroine calls the MC by his name (few games let you change names), every time the MC does something they wouldn't, every time they look away from the computer screen and see themself in the room, etc etc. Can't help that.

Like I said. It's fine to be immersed in the STORY. It's just silly to start deluding yourself into thinking you're a part of the story. I even like moege cause I like romance, I just don't go into it with the mindset "I am a significant part of this relationship". I'm reading a story.

There are several kinds of games, but nowadays, the amount of control you have over a MC is very slight, almost meaningless. Older games let you steer the flow of conversational more often, but in the end, for everyone 1 action you take the MC says or does 100 things you have no control over. It's meaningless, and definitely not to the point of you becoming someone else.

100% of fiction in any genre is appreciated by imagining the characters exist in some sense, because if not, there's no point in getting happy when someone achieves something or getting sad when someone dies because it was all fake bullshit that didn't happen.

Now you're just imagining I said things I didn't because your mad. I even said:

to begin with. And I didn't tell other people to point and laugh at you, because I did that myself.

Anyway, 100% of fiction in any genre is appreciated by enjoying the story itself. Imagining them as real does not play a part in it. I get sad when a character dies because I understood their unfulfilled goals and desires, the part they had to play in that story that is now taken from them, not because I'm imagining there's some fantasy world where Ned Stark actually lived and died 100 light years away.

It's all fake bullshit, but I like it anyway. Good stories are fun to read, fake or not. Good characters can be relateable and strong, fake or not. And so on.

Putting a disclaimer on something does not make it true. If I say "no offense, but you're a rancid cunt," the fact that I said "no offense" does not mean that I gave no offense.

>I get sad when a character dies because I understood their unfulfilled goals and desires, the part they had to play in that story that is now taken from them,
Something that does not exist cannot have goals or desires. There was nothing to take from them, because they did not exist, not any more than you can take away the self-validation of my imaginary friend Bob by claiming he doesn't exist or take away my nonexistent's sister's dream of being a virtuoso violinist by breaking her nonexistent fingers.

Well I haven't said you're living life incorrectly, so what I said stands true. You're being delusional, but that's a valid way to life live.

The goals and desires as expressed in the story, not goals and desires as expressed in real life. You're just being pedantic now. The characters do exist in the story, not in real life. That is, they exist insofar as they exist as the letters describing them on the page. The letters also describe their goals. It's sad to me when the written goals, which are not real beyond being described by letters within the story, are left unfilled, because in the story, I wanted to see the character, who exists only as a description of letters, fulfill it.

This is actually something which slightly bothers me with most eroge who have confession scenes. They confess and everything went smooth while in reality it's pretty awkward start a relationship like this because you never really made a physical approach and are always wondering how to get things started. Always glad when a game actually points out the problems with this.

Words on a page are just as unreal as thoughts in your head; 100% unreal. If it's simply a matter of goals unfulfilled, a story that ends on an uncertain note is just as unsatisfying as one where they're all hit by a bus shortly thereafter.

Finished スイセイギンカ, quite a disappointment. The writer has a nice and interesting idea plus a good introduction imo, but after the opening movie/individual routes everything regarding the story went downhill. I don't know how to explain how bad it is but I'm pretty sure it's pretty fucking bad, at least compared to the common route part.

I just hope he didn't repeat everything several times like in Hapimaher. Like one girl had daddy-drama during the common route (if you want to go through her route) and the same thing again in her actual route later on. And if you buy the fandisc? Same thing once more. I really don't know how the fuck that can happen. But both Hapimaher and its fandisc are pretty good at first, and later on just recycle something that was done pretty much the exact same way before already.

So.. hearing it's good at first and suffers later on makes me worry. (though Hapimaher had at least a fine true-route. Of course its plot was recycled during the later part of the fandisc giving that one a really weak finish.. but hey) At least it's supposed to be a bit on the shorter end.

Various themes of Saihate no Ima

At first, Saihate no Ima appears to be about friendship and loneliness, about a group of young individuals struggling to find their way in the world. About the tendency of humans to group together, to obstracise those who don't belong, and the tale of some children who, faced with the harsh realities of society, form an unbreakable bond. As newfound friends they make a home for themselves, and turn their lives of solitude into that of hope and laughter.

Then you see the background of a Japan rebuilding its identity after the war. The setting of abandoned warehouses and people without purpose in life reflects the sense of desolation in postwar Japan culture. And the tenuous alliance with America in the face of the threat the united countries of the rest of the world pose, humanity's failure to unite even in the face of imminent destruction, is a clear allegory for the doomed fate of civilisation to never reach undying peace, a social commentary on the inevitability of war.

Now the real themes begin to reveal themselves, namely, the sanctity of the human mind. Are thoughts mere electronic impulses by neurons, free will an illusion for the convenience of the survival of an evolutionally created biological supercomputer? Or is consciousness something more, something that transcends the the sum of its parts and possess true meaning in this universe? And is a global consciousness, the combining of humanity to truly become one, truly understand, accept and welcome each other, the desired end goal? Or is the individual self, and the interactions with other unique individuals, more precious?

But the final theme is of course love. The driving force to sacrifice everything to save the world, for the sake of the people you love. Appreciation of how important those everyday conversations and fleeting moments are when they're with the people you care about. And hope, hope that we will build a brighter future together.

What a great VN.

Finished Humanity, or at least I think I did since the game finally unlocked the extra screen and all the CGs seem to be unlocked.

It's definitely mostly a comedy game so if you play it you should dive in expecting that. There's drama and the background sci-fi setting that the game very slowly unravels is pretty nice, but there's not that much noticeably heavier and longer "real deal" part despite the title screen and its solemn BGM making me expect something along those lines. Enjoyment mostly depends on how much you happen to like the characters and humor. I was initially considering to drop the game due to protagonist's best friends being a cliche idiot and turbofaggot, plus many other characters could also be classified into regular archetypes as well but in the end they and the gags managed to somewhat grow on me. Few of Towako route's jokes in particular completely slayed me, specifically the one scene where she finally falls into the hole obliterated my sides.

In terms of plot Towako route and the next chapter were my favorite parts and in my opinion the game peaked there, I even expected Matka with its climax to be the final chapter so the game still continuing caught me by surprise. However, the next one after that felt kind of weak in comparison despite the initial big revelation concerning the setting since I was expecting for the shit to hit the fan in some even grander way, but it was just more humor and personal character drama. Made me wonder why'd the writer decided to put what I considered mostly side characters' personal arcs after the actual heroines, followed by a rather sudden final ending that was also pretty vague and mostly managed to enact a big "what the fuck?", and not really in a good way.

The weirdness that I did kind of like was that the side heroine routes didn't have any romantic development. At all in fact, not even hints or anything and they were more about getting to know the characters / becoming friends with them. Emi's "route" being a direct continuation of Towako's (without any romance in a similar vein to Aya and Dalia / Veronica) in particular felt pretty novel. In general I think the whole humans vs. 亜人 thing was also handled well and didn't fall into a cheap melodramatic "discrimination is wrong" plot with convenient bad guys or dry "character realizes their misconceptions" stuff despite the differences between the two being the main theme and the game taking place in a high school with separated classes.

Art is what it is and took some time to get used to, and certain backgrounds in particular looked horrible. Characters had different designers and it really stood out. Music was pretty good, there's plenty of tracks (5 of them with vocals) and I especially liked Towako's leitmotif. Overall a pretty decent title with the middle parts being best.

I actually almost dropped it because of the cliche idiot/turbo-okama duo too, but they grew on me as well.
I'm half glad and half sad there's not many "real deal" parts. Glad because it means I didn't miss much, but sad because it means the game didn't reach the heights I hoped for it to.

School Rumble ain't happening with VN. You usually have one dude (protagonist) and a bunch of moe-blobs in your "comedy" VN. The protagonist can't even be called a character, given that you never really see him, he isn't voiced and has no real role other than being a wall to bounce back dialogue of the girls. So how does the comedy work? If you don't know, consider yourself lucky.

So, with that in the clear, what can you do? Maybe go with Majikoi. That has a lot of guys and girls, but it has a bunch of different themes going on as well. Also the downside is, that the guys are so much superior to the girls, if you ask me. (and the fact it got milked way too much, but if you can ignore that..)
Other than that, going with somewhat high rated moege-ish titles on EGS is a thing too. (Daitoshokan for example) Still very different from School Rumble, but I don't think there's really anything at all that fits. Comedy isn't the medium's strength. (as in the genre) Nor "a lot of characters". I quite liked School Rumble myself, so I wouldn't mind VNs with similar vibes, but alas. It's not like there are tons of Anime similar to it either. I know like 1.

Actually that could be kinda fitting as well. I haven't actually read that. But I suppose Key in general could work for the comedy part. (i.e. Rewrite) There's also some overdrive games that may work. Maple Colors also looks like it could fit, but I only have that on my backlog.
But in the end they all kinda become something different than School Rumble. I mean I don't necessarily want my VN to end with a pie in the face of the protagonist, but even apart of that.

I think comedy is fine in VNs. I read humanity recently (see above for someone else's review) and was laughing throughout. If you read games that aren't good, it's only natural that you won't find any funny ones.

It's not a comedy game though, isn't it? That's why I said the genre. Comedy can be fine in a VN. But "comedy VN" are usually not good.
I had a lot of fun with something like Harukuru as well. Chuusotsu can be pretty funny as well. And there are plenty more. But those aren't comedy VN.

It really comes down to a work being good I suppose. If a writer is good, the chance for the comedy being good is higher. Most comedy VN however don't have good writers. That's why they try to get by with sol, comedy, romance and such in the first place I suppose? Exceptions exist for sure. But it's not really a genre that's very established in this medium I think. Probably in part because of the length requirements, making it fit better with manga/4-koma.

But ごうしゅう is the obvious reading for it. 豪 is read like that in words like 豪華 and suffix 州 is a basic word.

Similarly 鬱陶しい is common in eroge. And ultimately its reading is obvious too, when you think about it 鬱 as うつ from 憂鬱 and 陶 as とう from 陶芸.

Besides, all PlayDRM cracks from that chinese guy take advantage of patched demo .exes which could be easily prevented by removing significant portions of unused code from demos, using strong encryption on important files or not releasing demos at all (sadly, eroge devs don't get the memo).

Finished my first run of Konosora, Ageha route.

This one manages to tell a pretty nice "chasing a dream" story in the common route. It does add a bit of really forced and crappy drama here and there, but it's relatively rare. You know, the usual "purposely withholding information aka it's not actually bad", making things seem worse at first than they end up being and so on. But, again, it's rather rare.

The route however was unfortunately way less good. The drama issues are still there, now way more common. Now even with really awkward character behavior to cause it.
But even without that it feels so different. There are two new girls introduced towards the end of the common route. It kinda builds up an issue here with one of them not really liking her sister participating and insisting on not being a club-member herself and whatnot.. which gets outright forgotten in the route. As if she is a normal member. That's a pretty good sign of an author-switch. However even all the main-story around flying feels completely different, as all the technical parts are more or less missing. The whole common route feeling of building a glider together, sorting things out and then flying including all the challenges that gives.. no longer there. The flight at the end is also insanely disappointing. It feels like things just happen but you aren't really involved anymore.

Of course there's romance, and maybe that's the reason. But this was also rather crappy and generic. The biggest issue was however that it was a love-triangle of sorts, and the heroine (Ageha) is just so much less interesting that her sister (Hotaru). And of course you don't have a choice in the matter. Even without that though, it was very meh moege tier.

A.. steep fall. Though I've heard already that the routes aren't the strength of the game, this was quite a far departure from what made the common route so great, if you ask me.

No? They're cool as fuck. EDs too. And you see them every time you boot up the VN usually, you just choose to skip them. It's the same as starting a new episode of anime and skipping the OP there.

Very few VN actually show the OP at start-up. If I had to guess based on what I play.. 5%? Maybe 10%.
It's actually surprisingly common to ONLY see the OP at a specific part early in the game. Not when starting the game. Not when waiting in the main-menu. Not even part of the extras. And then you have the funny ones like recent Moonstone games where you can trigger the opening by choosing to "test" the movie sound-volume. No other way though.. aside of reaching it in the story of course.

As for what's part of the OP depends on the game. Can be everything from random beach events to fist kiss cg. They are doubling as PV and well.. yeah. How good they also work as an opening seems to be less important.

probably not, paper wizards is really, really long.
i mean it's structured in nice arcs with buildup, climax, falling action etc. so you could take it in chunks as opposed to one big binge. but the whole thing is long.

i'd read Unmei Yohou first instead if i were you

Lovely Cation 2 is very good. Lovely Cation 1 was, I feel, the author getting his sea legs on romance games. So it's very rough. Not bad, but not something I'd recommend, except for people who really want to romance older women which is surprisingly uncommon in these kinds of games.

what the fuck is happening in amatsutsumi
i am straight baffled, everyone is behaving in a clinically insane and frankly disturbing fashion at only half an hour in but the BGM and the sprites and the narration are all trying to tell me that everything is fine and this is a normal cute development that we'll all have a lighthearted chuckle over later.

help
i mean clearly the MC doesn't have the strongest grasp of normal people ethics but i can think of no reason why poor Koharun isn't making a beeline for the nearest police station after he pulls that little "lol im ur oniisan now" stunt.

like what the fuck. do you WANT your bestie to get raped by the strange man she picked up by the side of the road who is now living in her house oh and also now you know she'll literally do anything he commands her to?

right, somehow ive come to think of when the OP starts as the "real" start of the VN proper, whatever came before is just a prologue.

this doesn't always work though, in some cases theres just no OP and I was reading for ages until I realized that

I personally loved Aya's route in LxC. Really good combination of a turbo-loner protagonist with a turbo-loner antisocial heroine. The parts before the proper dating were great, with the two hardly even talking and just playing against each other in an arcade. Though it's the only route I played and I hear certain other routes have some really shitty contrived drama. Aya's also has some drama towards the end, but it's not very long.

LxC2 is however still the best game with best heroines, and pretty much does away with all drama, though I personally disliked how it and the later games in the series made the protagonist more of a blank slate.

Thank you both. Sounds like Aya wrecked the MC pretty hard in that image. Reminds me of the time when I got destroyed by my /jp/sie friend at the arcade, but that's not for this thread.

Anyway, I think I'll plan on reading Cation 1 first, then 2 later probably. Just feels like it would be best to do them in order even if they supposedly don't have any plot relation.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 20 06:19:50 2017 No.16740686 >>16739005 It's more of a recent thing for OPs to only play during the story after the "intro." If you look at older eroge most of them will play the OP when the game is started, and sometimes again during the story.

>Very few VN actually show the OP at start-up. If I had to guess based on what I play.. 5%? Maybe 10%.
lmao you must be playing some weird shit because I've randomly clicked 5 VNs in my folder without looking and they all started with the OP
