I appreciate that they are actually allowing the heroines to fight other people, even if they're just drawn in silhouette. When I was reading Mekuiro and figured out that they basically were only ever going to show fights between heroines or the few side characters with few variations between routes, it was a little disappointing. Little things like that show that a developer is willing to learn and evolve their craft.

I have known people who get addicted to falling in love. How to explain it...? they can't live alone and need to have someone by their side. Emotional dependency is pretty fucked up

Every single one attempt at relationships ended up in a failure and a waste of a time, so nowadays I just read eroge instead, mostly plotge

[Anonymous No.]

Do you have to be autistic to enjoy this kind of text? Everything in this game feels like it was designated specifically to waste your time, it takes ages just to say one thing and every scenes feels 10 times longer than they should be

This has to be the most boring shit I've ever read in my life, it just has nice coating with nice art and music and a seemingly deep theme, perfect to fool retards

[Anonymous No.]

>>45215959
I'm not going to be so radical as to say that the experience is not worth it, because falling in love with someone is great, but yeah, the possible disappointment afterwards can be devastating. I feel that's why I liked white album 2 so much when I read it a few years ago, connecting with others can be really hurtful

[Anonymous No.]

>>45216053
You need to have more "soft" mentality to be able to enjoy the flow, if you keep thinking about how many times each word is repeated or how it could cut scenes to not waste time instead of feeling the vibe out then those kinds of "fairy tales" are definitely not for you

Don't care, I like it.

I don't have any experience with failing in love, but while reading eroge i experienced the kind of feeling several times where something inside your chest is bursting out, if love is anywhere near close to this feeling i can only imagine how painful it would be to live with it all the time

[Anonymous No.]

>>45216053
sakumoyu is largely a 雰囲気ゲー, both the prose and the structure of the story are intended to make you feel part of a fairy tale world; if you have read some japanese children's stories you may realize how obvious that is

[Anonymous No.]

>>45215929
They like the feelings they get in a new relationship but can't handle it when things become calmer. They also tend to have a strong need for drama or to be constantly reassured that the other person still loves them. It's using another person to regulate your own emotional state.

If we're gonna talk about this, then yeah, I fell in love once and it was like a fever dream. I couldn't think about anything else.

I think the novelty is essential regardless if it's 2d or 3d. I had once fallen in love with the kancolle character to the point that each time i heard her voiceline something was squeezing inside my chest but it barely could last long and with time i stopped feeling anything at all. But then a few years later when she got a new cg and voice lines that feeling blew up again and could last for a good few months after that. It's harder with eroge since the best you can do to feel some novelty is some merch

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>45218438
I don't understand your point. Sex between the same gender is inherently unpleasable, painful and risky. Sex between opposite genders is inherently the opposite.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45218552
Sex is painful and uncomfortable for women when the guy is selfish and bad at sex. Risky because of pregnancy risk and STDs. Having miserable sex where the other person doesn't give a shit about you is going to make someone feel more lonely in the long run. If a gay guy reamed your asshole with no lube, didn't even make you coom, and possibly gave you an HIV scare, you wouldn't be happy, I assure you. Now enough 3DPD shit, try to break free from the redpill garbage or you will be miserable forever.

>>45215846
Finally finished VB Frontier... and also Frontier International. I had no idea that the latter was actually a remaster with extra stuff. I thought it was just a rerelease for the English version.

The eugenics program got downgraded to merely hiring units now. What a shame, I liked the pregnancies.
The game now limited your units. You only had at most 12 units of each type. I don't like it. I perfer having every one at my fingertips.
The menu controls were a bit clunky, at least for me. Drag-and-drop was fine and all, but there's 60 units you needed to gear here, and it's a hassle to do them all. I just only equipped the main characters. Abyss had one-click-to-equip-all function and I don't understand why they didn't reuse it.
The moon cycle and units were expanded to have more elements as well as day & night. 1 turn now only had 6 phases instead of 10. It's cool but didn't change the gameplay much.
The most annoying part for me was when you needed to defend the captured cities. In previous games, these happened at fix times, during plot points. Now, it's random and really screwed you over if you just wanted to go through the chapter fast. I sometimes had to spend 5+ turns in a row defending. They should at least had like a cooldown between invasions or something.

The plot took notes from Empire, a demon invaded the holy lands, then turned back and took over the demon land. It's nice and back to basics.
The game did a good job making me dislike the antagonists. Surtr was such a bastard. His grin after the change was really unnerving for me. True Odin was a surprise, but just as detestable.
Loki was fun and Hvedrungr was hilarious.
I liked all the heroines, except Fena. Nothing against her, I did warm up to her relationship with Loki, I just didn't like her design. Maybe it's the pink hair. I'm allergic to them.
The character endings were proper epilouges this time. Although the requirements for them were slightly more annoying to do in exchange. The goddesses can't be corrupted during the final chapter, so I needed to do that chapter twice to get both versions' endings. And there were several battles between the endings choice and the actual final battle so I needed to repeat them too.
At least I like the epilouges, except for evil Rigret end. That one was weird. She's the designated anal slut, so I guess she's like the punching bag for this game. It's too bad since I like her.
Also this game had too much ryona, especially during the chaos parts. It's too extreme for me.
The demonesses now had their own ending. Well one ending together instead of separately, but it's progress.
What I like the most about the heroines, but game didn't draw much attention to it, besides Tyrka, was that most of them were related to Loki. The incest was awesome.

I first thought the extra scenes added with the international version were like after-epilouge, a where-are-they-now thing, but they were just stuffs happening during the law route. What a let down.
I liked the lovely dovely H-scene with Tyrka. I dig their relationship.
Freya didn't even get anything lol. I guess people didn't like used goods. I liked her more than the previous motherly heroines from previous games.
Odin's H-scene was odd. I don't know why they went with that direction.
The isekai girls apparently came from ninetail's other games? I think one came from Gaia, but the references went way over my head at the time. Also her H-scene didn't happen with Loki, which was a strange decision.
Fun fact, my favorite unit was the Reaper, and she actually got H-scenes in this version, two in fact. Wild.

Idk. While I think the art for franchise peaks here and I do love the law parts, the chaos parts were too degenerate and extreme for me, which hold me back from fully enjoy the entire game.

I just read Subarashiki Hibi untranslated. Are you required to hate yourself to like it?
"Hey you otaku loser creep. Yeah you. So you want to play your eroge? Fuck you. Fucking kill yourself. You think it's okay to be attracted to girls while being a male who likes otaku culture? It fucking isn't get a fucking clue you fucking retard and kill yourself now. You fucking scumbag. You fucking trash. You should have been born female or at least as a male who's epic and manly. Stop liking what you like and read *classic literature* and stop being yourself and be epic and manly (unless you're female then it's okay to be yourself)." That's all I took away from it.

I think Blade Briders is one of the weaker Alice Soft titles.
I've given it two chances now and I struggle to find reasons to give it a third.
I really like the cast but I find the gameplay and story uncompelling.
The characters themselves are great but their relationships felt shallow.
Maybe it gets way better right after I stopped but it just feels like a "Shaman's Sanctuary" to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's still Alice Soft, it's above average, but I don't think it stands out in their catalogue.

For a person who's interested in Alice Soft games but isn't sure about gameplay I'd recommend Haharanman.
The gameplay is very simple and easy to learn but still challenging and satisfying. The OST is one of my all time favorites. Just beautiful.
I also love the Taisho era setting, it feels refreshing. It's a very comfy game despite all the rape and abuse and murder.
The Japanese is fairly difficult though so it isn't a great fit for a new learner.

I'll say that Sakuuta had a real pratical effect on my life, getting me where I wanted to be. This really isn't something special or deep btw. There just was something I wanted to do and Sakuuta gave me a hint how to get to it.

And about the "meaning" contantained in the game, I'll say I liked chapter 6. You know, how Naoya still had it after all that years. It was very inspiring.

I haven't read Toki yet btw. I'll have to dedicate some time to it one day. Ideally with a reread of Uta too.

Nta but here is the best quote of Sakuuta for you
It's up to you how to interpret it
「人と共にある神は弱い神だが、それでも、人が信じた時にそばにいる
芸術作品は永遠の相のもとに見られた対象である。そしてよい生とは永遠の相のもとに見られた世界である。ここに芸術と倫理の関係がある
何も、永遠の相を保証するのに、絶対的な神なんていらない。人は、人のための神を感じ、そして、感動すればいい……
弱い神は、かよわき人々の美の中にいる。だから、そのかよわき神には意義がある。だから、俺は言うのさ
さぁ、受け取るが良い。この絵にやどった神は、永遠の相だ。この感動は一瞬だが、永遠だ。そして、そこに幸福がある……
かよわき神と共にしか、幸福なんて感じられないさ
だって、強すぎる幸福は、強すぎる酒と変わらず

>>45220877
It is and it isn't.
The goal of the game is to protect the heroines from being raped, mind controlled, abused, and killed.
So I suppose you could say it's netorare if you lose. But the concept is that that only happens as a punishment if you fuck up.
If you do well, it actually feels a lot like a "netori" game where you steal the heroines back from the type of shitty guy who would normally end up with them in a trashy NTR manga.
For example, the green bar in the center of the screen is essentially the sanity meter of one of the antagonists, and you lower it by having sex with the heroine he wants where he can see so he gets jealous.
If anything it almost feels like the opposite of cuckge. You train with your sword so you can defeat any rapist, you manage your schedule so you're always there when a heroine needs you, you use the magic gifted to you to heal the psyche of girls who have been mindbroken. In this city, while the Sakura trees bloom, any man or monster that wants to touch the women you love will learn to fear your name and your blade.
As a person with negative interest in NTR, I can say that I enjoy it very much.

I think sca-ji does here exactly what wittgenstein was cautioning us against. Sca-ji's trying to make a statement about good life, he's trying to express the inexpressible, the mystical aspect that can only show itself to us and whatever you say about it will only turn out to be nonsensical. He's engaging in the futile effort of answering unanswerable nonsensical philosophical questions. I don't know if sca-ji is illustrating here how weird it would sound if someone who regained spark in his life is talking about his experience of the problem of life. Maybe he was trying to engage in language-games that later wittgenstein was so fond of but this isn't quite that.

'God with man is a weak God, yet He is near when one believes.
A work of art is an object seen under the eternal phase. And a good life is the world seen under the eternal phase. Herein lies the relationship between art and ethics.
Nothing needs an absolute God to guarantee an eternal phase. One only needs to feel and be moved by God for man. ......
The weak God is in the beauty of the weak. So that weak God has significance. So I say.
Now, receive. The God in this picture is an eternal phase. This impression is momentary, but eternal. And there is happiness: ......
You can only feel happiness with a weak God.
Because too much happiness is like too much alcohol
It makes one as drunk as too much alcohol. ......

[Anonymous No.]

>>45225192
Basically sca-ji's liberal watered down interpretation of this quote but I don't think he's quite getting at what wittgenstein is talking about. You need to understand wittgenstein's distinction between showing and saying to properly interpret what he's saying it. You should also keep in mind how he defines eternity view.
>if we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
He isn't saying "life when you look at it holistically is just a collection of happy and unhappy moments, and both are intrinsic to living".
>The solution to the problem of life is to be seen in the disappearance of the problem. Isn’t this the reason why men to whom the meaning of life had become clear after long doubting could not say what this meaning consisted in?
Looking at art through this view was perfectly portrayed in zypressen where the mystical element in noaya's art exercise shows itself to rina and inspires her to become optimistic. Similarly, if how you are living is in certain harmony with your world, the good life shows itself to you, and the condition of death wouldn't bother you.
>Fear in the face of death is the best sign of a false, i.e. a bad life’
I think sca-ji does here exactly what wittgenstein was cautioning us against. Sca-ji's trying to make a statement about good life, he's trying to express the inexpressible, the mystical aspect that can only show itself to us and whatever you say about it will only turn out to be nonsensical.

That is the point. If you take it to a videogame context, fable 2 and cyberpunk were similar cases, but if you don't know all the advertising campaign and the "promises" that surrounded both games during their development, they are really solid and entertaining titles. The diversity of socio-political currents surrounding each nation are very well differentiated, and it makes very good use of all the shit surrounding the cold war while giving it a more comedic approach as is typical of alicesoft games. Damn, even all that shit about having to organize your ships well for each battle was really fun. For this reason and more, I still don't understand the shit that many people throw at it

Do you feel overwhelmed by your backlog?
Don't get me wrong, if I'm not enjoying enjoying a game I don't force myself to stick with it. I've accepted that if my memory is already fuzzy even on games I love then there's no sense in absorbing every word of a game I'm not enjoying and I'll either skip through a route or outright drop a game. But I just get so overwhelmed by how many games are available to me that even when I'm enjoying something I'm always distracted by other games I'm eager to play and will frequently start something new. 'The grass is always greener' kind of situation. When most games are 20-40 hours long each it's hard to finish one instead of it getting buried under other games. Long ago when I could only dream of playing games untranslated, and when English releases were few and far between, I enthusiastically consumed what I could. But now I feel so spoiled for choice that I can't focus because I can't get to everything I want to play fast enough. Anyone else experience this or manage to overcome it?

Not really. I look at it more as a collection from which I can choose what to play. Or a collection of games I feel good about having. At this point it's unrealistic for me to think I'll actually play everything, do I don't expect to. That's how I managed to dodge your issue.

Same is true for normal games and their mods, for example. I really enjoyed Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom of example, but I dunno if I'll find another 150 hours to play either of them again. But I like knowing I got them backed up, along with a collection nice Linkle mods for BotW, so I can play as a cute girl next time, if I ever do. Some of her modded outfits are really nice.

Finishing VNs is fun and good and meaningful and worth doing and worth trying to do but it's really not worth worrying about.

But I'll add that I do feel your issue about forgetting. I would like to 100% fully remember everything about games I loved, like Daitoshokan, Eustia, Dies Irae, Sakuuta etc., but ultimately, forgetting is natural. So I focus on enjoying things as I read/play them. I think "damn, this is really good and hopefully I'll remember a lot of it for a long time".

For Dies Irae, I played it in 2017 and even now I remember the best moments and enjoy seeing the guy in the last few threads post about them, for example.

Also I do feel like I got enough with my collection now. Which is what lead me to generally being content. I just need to do some finishing touches like getting nude mods for Resident Evil games and that's it. No obsessing about grabbing stuff, since I got enough.

I have maybe 1000+ VNs on my wishlist and wonder if I'll actually go through them in my lifetime or get bored of VNs or die before then but I just enjoy them one at a time. I get that whole excitement and distractibility but there's no point in wasting time worrying, just read and enjoy things as they come and reread your favorites when you feel like it. If you want to jump ship to a different VN then just do it and come back to the other one later or force yourself to only read one at a time (as long as you read stuff you like). I find it helpful to keep track of my reading time each day because then instead of a nebulous feeling of "oh no I have so many VNs left to read that are all so long" I have a concrete representation of my progress through my backlog (time spent reading). Having an objective measurement that keeps going up over time makes it feel more real and helps stick to one or two titles at a time instead of getting fomo about all the other titles I could be reading.

I read about 20 times faster than most of the rest of you - with the exception of a few bibliophiles. What is a true chore, taking up tens of hours for you, might very well only be a short eight to ten hours for me. Reading that fast - whether in English or Japanese - gives me a greatly different perspective than a lot of the others here.

The act of reading in itself can bring me something close to sexual pleasure if what I'm reading is interesting. The reason I like chuunige is because to me, the stimulation from a good chuunige is actually better than sex. There is always something going on and that something is usually meant to shake up the emotions or engage the intellect. Since, for me, reading something like this really does give me so much pleasure, I can honestly say that concerns about length don't bother me at all, lol.

Not in the slightest. A backlog means there's good VNs you haven't read yet, it's not a chore to get through just so you can say you're caught up, it's a pleasure to be savoured. If you're not enjoying a VN, just move to the next one. The whole point is to die before you finsih your backlog.

I find myself jumping from title to title, until I find something that really engrosses me. A lot of eroge aren't bad outright, but they fail to be engaging. They very rarely give you something to look forward to. Usually the selling point is the heroines, but it especially sucks when the characters are likable but the writer is awful at making them shine. And bad pacing doesn't help either.

I think anyone who's played LxC2 will know what I mean when I say the author is obviously very well read, or at least well informed. What I've noticed in this game which I haven't noticed in many other moe games such as this is just the characters *knowing* things if that makes sense. Rather than being given an X state at the beginning of the game, and then all further interaction bouncing off that, the characters know things and that contributes to conversations.

For example, in the Seine route the mc asks her what she's listening to and she replies Dvorak, and they discuss classical music. Or they're watching a movie together and she mentions trivia about its development (Ghostbusters). Or the MC muses about why ants dont all drown in the rain and she explains the composition of anthills and how it prevents that.

Basically, the dialogue is just interesting and covers many topics beyond just whatever the "theme" of the game/character is (think astronomy in Hoshizora, or Misa talking about fish in Hoshi Ori). Not only that, but the characters also frequently think about a situation and produce a "philosophical" response rather than a knee jerk physical response. It's interesting and often quite profound, to the point I often had to push past my bias of "moege can't be smart" to really appreciate what was being said. In short, the writing is really smart and interesting.

I'll have to read more moege with this in mind to really pin it down, but for now I'm considering Insider the best moege author I've read (note: he's done non-moe works). So far his is the only moe games I've actually learned a lot from and enjoyed thoroughly beyond an emotional masturbation tool.

As a side note, the romance and relationship drama in this game is also pretty good (albeit with a significant focus on sex during the second half). The drama didn't feel forced and the relationship felt "real" - the characters don't fall for each other just because of The Hand of God like in many of these games, by which I mean there's "real" reasons they love each other which are the basis for the drama and character growth they experience. Which is always superior to some third-party bullshit butting in and causing "forced" drama.

All this said, I don't think Lovely Cation 2 is some kind of literary work or really something to read to seriously engage oneself. It's still a moege, it's just a well written one.

It doesn't have weird prose and has one of the best characters ever made (Shinku), but the rest of the characters are holding it back hard

[Anonymous No.]

Iroseka has more SoL and the prose is relatively normal.
The routes are pretty inconsistent. There are two short filler routes (Kyou, Tsukasa), one okay route (Mio) and two good routes (Kana, Shinku).

and it's done. between my trip to Japan and my shit Japanese it took me too long to read it. this route strghten my main issue I have with this novel: the lack of side characters. if you want to have a martial arts competition, you need to have more then the main heroines+ a few side characters. otherwise the world feels small. and this world feels really, really small. I don't get how they managed to make more games in this setting considering how barebones the world is for now. taht's the one thing Aokana has over this novel. Aokana got the whole spokon aspect much more fleshed out. Let's see if Saya's route will change my opinion.

Kinda expected more from this fight, there was way too much walking and way too few orgasming screams
His mom ended up being basically irrelevant anyway? I was hoping he would say smth to her at the end at least. Kasumi and Eri were also basically there to waste screen time and not survive anyway?
The Shiro+Bei screaming shit together was really epic thought, wish there was some kind of cg of them together. And him reaching his 渇望 at the end but still losing it in fact anyway was just way too dirty man just give bro a rest already
