It's very cute if done well. Not just capturing the aloof and prideful traits, but the curious playfulness as well. And, most importantly, super friendly social cats that can't get enough scritches. Part of why I liked Lamento so much- bunch of crazy cat ladies probably had a lot of input on the character creation portion.

Got to my first actual ero scene in Lamento. It was kinda boring.

Even with the bondage stuff. Well at least it was consensual. I laughed when the prostitute took one look at Konoe and immediately passed him on to Rai.

>>22772305
One thing about Lamento that is a bit different from other N+C games: the sex scenes feel like they aren't the point of the game. The story is worth playing for on it's own in most routes. Helps that they can use the excuse of "going into heat" as a plausible reason for sexy time in the middle of the story.

Looking back, it seems like all the effort that didn't get put into the happy sex went into making the bad endings as soul-crushing as possible.

>> No.22772450

>>22772356
I'm enoying the atmosphere and world enough that yeah the sex scenes aren't particularly necessary.

'going into heat' in R18 games for women seems to occupy the place mana transfers do in eroge for men in terms of trying to rationalise sex scenes with fantasy mechanics. Though I guess Jooubachi had a mixture of the two, and the characters were just constantly fucking all the time for no reason as well.

>> No.22774046

Got Froud's end. It was as horrifying as I expected from that character design. Also way more explicit than the earlier 'good' ero scene. Man, poor Konoe. DP'd with his own tail.

>> No.22774083

>>22774046
His was particularly brutal. It's the one with the most suffering, in my opinion. Most N+C bad ends are almost comical in how they're so over-the-top, but his hurt on a personal level.

Wouldn't it be funny if Nitro made an Otome game and had the CHiRAL staff work on it without telling anyone? And had the horrible ends included without warning after a pretty standard story? Ha ha.

>> No.22774134

>>22774083
It's really just one thing after the other like, the NTR aspect with Rai watching the whole time, the fact that Konoe had his ear literally half bitten off, weird sex stuff like tail rape and urethra penetration, Froud's weird powers that mean Konoe can't help but enjoy it. A parade of suffering.

Unfortunately(?) it made me feel nothing at all. I dunno if it was just so over the top that it was like an overload, or if I'm just not that attached to the characters.

>> No.22774186

>>22774134
Well, I liked Rai, and I was not expecting something on that level. Usually there are fountains of blood, guts spilling out, and hate-filled struggles. The bad ends with sex in Lamento are certainly full of shock value but I can't place why Froud's hurt more than others. Especially since Rai was the least compelling choice of characters.

Maybe I'll play through it again. It's been a few years and doesn't seem like anything good is coming out soon.

Rai is character type I tend to find kind of dull. The other cats are more appealing.

I also got Razel's end which was actually less horrifying than I would have thought, compared to Froud at least. Konoe becomes a really bored seeming demon who doesn't give a shit about anything except getting dicked.

Decide to check some steam reviews for Hashihime and

>Not only the mysteries fell flat in the end, but the romance also disappointed me. When there isn’t a hint of romance, Tamamori suddenly gets together with a guy in the very end and to highlight it, there is always an NSFW scene right before the story ends. I didn’t find the romance story very convincing as it relies on the mystery part way too much. And here again, it feels as if the writer forgot that he had to include romance options so he added them in the end. Sadly, in romance, development is incredibly important to me which was missing here although those who are interested in a few boys love scenes without real depth might still be able to enjoy the mature scenes.

>The BL is incredibly forced and the sex scenes, while well-written, are shoehorned and jarring - I literally forgot this was a BL game and was pretty surprised when the junk suddenly flopped out at the end of a pretty serious story that had absolutely nothing to do with sex. I mean, if you're here for the porn, you'll get it - it happens no matter how little sense the relationship makes, even going the R-word path in one case

So stmy's main story is ogre. I dunno. In crime/mystery stories you gather clues, make deductions from said clues then use those deductions to pinpoint the culprit. Not "Here is the culprit. Here are all the reasons why she is the culprit that we uncovered offscreen. Here are all the bad things she did. Also she was running an international drug ring this whole time." I'm reading this wondering when the FUCK did they find any of this out. This was supposed to be the climax to the big unsolved case but all the finer points were swept under the rug. In the end I still don't know the details of Ded-kun's suicide, what Murderer-kun was doing for 15 fucking years, why he still needs to run despite not actually being a murderer. Not much sense of completion from this arc.

That said Revel RIP is still best bros, and Yui steals every scene he is in. I like the main story's timeline so it can go straight to season 5 or whatever if it wants.

If you've been lurking /blog/ at any point in the past few months then you probably know that only 2/5 routes really hold up, but the main story alone is absolutely worth it. It's much better than what one would normally expect from a BL VN.

>If you've been lurking /blog/ at any point in the past few months then you probably know that only 2/5 routes really hold up, but the main story alone is absolutely worth it. It's much better than what one would normally expect from a BL VN.
I may add that the while the third route and fifth route are kinda bad, they are are also incredibly short. The first route you'll go through it's 50% of the novel and has like 80% of the story in term of what it reveals. The story structure is incredibly bizarre, it gives you the best stuff and most relevant stuff first, which sorta works for and against itself.

It's still focusing on what the girl is doing for the guy, and that's every boring h-scene ever. In eroge it makes sense, because it's a fantasy for straight men. But in otome and women's media in general, it seems like there is some implicit shame in the MC getting any sort of pleasure directly. They have to get all their pleasure from satisfying the man and that's horribly boring in what is supposed to be wish fulfillment. I don't think I've ever read an otome h-scene that implies the clit exists and even ero cds don't mention it often.

Seems like most are just too scared to indulge in anything that might even be considered remotely selfish, even in fantasies that don't include real people. Especially Japanese women who consume otome and their inherent self hatred.

>> No.22846938

>>22846812
It's great to see them helpless in the face of pleasure. Paizuri is one way to do that, especially if they are new to sex (which many Otome guys are).

>>22846885
That's how Japan does sex anon. Guys enjoy it, girls tolerate it out of love. Mutual enjoyment does not compute for whatever reason. Of course media for women reinforces the fact that they are only there to satisfy men's desires. And Otome fans eat it up because it's romantic or some shit to sacrifice your body for someone else's pleasure. BL has the same damn thing too- one partner taking it only to satisfy the other partner's desires. If some of them weren't drawn with dicks I would wholeheartedly believe they were women.

There are fewer things hotter than mutual pleasure but it's hard to find even in vanilla porn. I'm not talking "mindbroken by lust" or "too horny to think", but both partners actively engaged and enjoying the experience.

As a male, having read some BL VNs, I've often (not always) gotten the impression that something was "off" and that the sexual content was clearly written for women to self-insert into.

Yeah I wasn't sure what that anon was going on about either, otome R18, TL comics, situation CDs etc. are all about the girl getting pleasured. I guess it's often presented as the guy doing it for himself because he just wants MC that bad or whatever, but that's part of the fantasy, you see so much more fingering and cunnilingus than in porn for men. I would say that's it's main difference, since (CDs excluded of course), the focus in the artwork is often on the girl in this stuff anyway.

When you see handjobs and stuff where the guy is recieving pleasure one-sidedly in otome porn, it's more often used in scenarios where the MC is the one taking the lead and the guy is on the submissive side.

Western BL translations are still passion projects by fans, even if they're being resold under a different company like MangaGamer. Any BL translated by MG is something the staff themselves crusaded for. Only JastBLUE seems to be making a real commercial effort (which is baffling to me considering the extremely tiny market available in the West).

Hopefully the same team at MG that brought over Hashihime can do UuuultraC too. I liked the extra effort they put in with the dictionary and contextual TL notes.

Learning it is definitely worth it if you're into otome, since there's plenty of untranslated otome worth playing (that are also highly unlikely to ever get fan patches because they're console only games). But if you only care for BL then I'm not sure it is, there aren't that many BL games and while there are a couple quite good ones that are untranslated, it's probably not worth learning it just to play Shingakkou or whatever.

Just a random impression passing by, as I've finished Nie no Machi some time ago.

Why the fuck was this game so full of yandere stalkers?
It was an okay read, just a good game, which won't be remembered by me in details after a longer time. It wasn't a kamige nor a kusoge, just an alright BL game. I like the art, but sometimes faces could get wonky.

As for the plot
I went with Naruomi first since he seemed like a good boy, and I couldn't be more wrong. The closer to the end, the wilder the ride went.
Hisora conveniently remembering the Limbo world was well, convenient. Though I liked how it made the endings bittersweet. Asuku got the best option here.
In my opinion the plot didn't leave that many holes, with the main boys getting most of their issues resolved. The mysterious boy being Hisora's brother came slightly from nowhere and felt like an asspull at first, but considering the later revelations it was okay and cemented the plots.
For individual routes, fuck Akari, fuck Totonoe, fuck all of the yandere stalkers in this game. I was actually relieved that Asuku didn't have his own psycho stalker, just a group of rapist delinquents.
Naruomi was a nice guy, until you learn his backstory and realize he himself is a creepy stalker. But he's being cute with it, so he's somehow forgiven in the game. I found most of his sex scenes pleasant (if you forget about the guts), plus he's a libido monster and can fuck all night.
Mio is annoying with his manner of speech and was kinda a case of protag realizing his feelings while being raped. Sumata scene was delicious though.
Coco has a legitimately sad backstory and plotwise, I find his route to be the most solid, with some real issues in the real life. His actions gain a second meaning after you learn more of his past.
Asuku got the short end of the stick, and for me his route lacked in the romance a little. His ending was sweeter than the others, but I have my doubts about it.


There were some moments which creeped me out briefly. Guro wasn't that extreme, but definitely creative at times. Some of the sex scenes were out of place and unnecessary First scene with Asuku

I'm not 100% sold on ranking the boys, but I think it'd like this:

Naruomi = Asuku > Coco = Mio

I didn't find one boy being the best or another being the worst - in Hashihime it was easy Kawase vs Hanazawa. I can assure you that Akari is utter shit.

The order in which I read the routes was Naruomi, Mio, Coco, Asuku. I think it'd be the best to go:
Coco, Mio, Asuku, Naruomi
Definitely leave Naruomi for last, as his route has the most explanations for the ending, and also branches into the more "secret" ones, like with Onii-chan

Still, he's the cutest and his romance was the deepest (and lewdest). Also, the reason for him being unconscious is hilarious.
