Not sure how to feel about the pink haired crossdresser, but I guess we'll see how they play out.

[Anonymous No.]

I somewhat missed all the discussion about Slow Damage even though I'm the one who posted about it first in the previous thread. The way the narration is written in the official localization makes it kind of obvious that the original was in third person. It's really neutral. Even if Towa seems really detached from everything so far it's a bit too over the top how neutral all his statements are when narrating what's going on. I'm interested in what's going to happen next, so far I only did the first chapter and I'm halfway through the second one with the doctor who may or may not be a pedo.

The anon saying I should stop complaining and just read it in Japanese isn't wrong I guess, I have an intermediate level so it would take more time and work to do but at the same time, I want to see the uncensored dicks. I'm actually considering playing some otome games in Japanese later. Especially Utapri because it seems like it'll never get localized anyway and I liked how retarded the anime could get, it was fun.

That's disappointing... Too late, I already started the English version, I might as well keep going and if I ever feel like replaying it way later I'll try it in Japanese and dust off my old electronic dictionary because I forgot way too many kanji ever since I graduated university.

I'm surprised because from memory it was pretty heavy on sexual content. Not sure how it will translate to all ages.

I can give you an early Chapter 2 save file if you like, but it's your call. If your Japanese is rusty then suck it up and just get over with it. It's going to suck, but why delay it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>45997255
I'm playing right now as we speak so I think I'm in the middle of the second chapter. I don't want to go through the same dialogs again right now, it's too fresh in my head. I'm "delaying" it because I barely have any free time and a long backlog of video games I'd like to play on top of VNs I'm interested, but I'm not actually complaining right now. At that point I just want to what's going to happen in the story.

That anon is probably not going to play anything in Japanese, ever. No one with no free time is going to slog for 5 hours in Japanese over a scene they could read in 1 hour in English.
The only working age adults who manage to learn languages are NEETs, those with language learning as part of their job or those with upper percentile discipline and intelligence.
Everyone says they want to learn a language but only a sliver of those people actually reach the point where they regularly and easily consume content and interact in that language because most people would rather just turn their brain off and play games in their time off than do something as difficult as immerse in another language.

Honestly, even if you go through stuff much slower you're still getting something out of it and there's no rush to complete a VN. If you have at least an hour or two per day it'd be worth it. Even if it feels like a waste of time at first once you get faster you'll more than make up for the initial slog by no longer having to wait for translations and getting the better experience. That said, I'm glad I learned Japanese when I was younger and had endless free time because most responsible working adults have nowhere near as much time on their hands or the mental energy. If anon is already intermediate though I think she's already past the hard part, the rest is just perseverance until you pick up on all common and some uncommon vocab. You can even use a texthooker to speed up the lookups.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46000095
I agree with you but
>upper percentile discipline and intelligence
>intelligence
It's more a matter of learning consistently everyday rather than being actually intelligent. You can still do it with a full time job unrelated to JP. If you stop at any point because you think it's too much of a pain in the ass then it's 100% wasted time. I'd liken it to a rigid exercise routine more than anything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45997071
I think this adaption of the narration style could probably ONLY work with a character like Towa who is so detached about whats going on around him, though yeah, its not an ideal scenario.

When I played through it originally, I had no idea, and the narration never really jumped out at me as feeling bad to read, at least.

I doubt you are becoming fluent in Japanese as an adult in under 2-3 years if you’re only doing 1-2 hours a day unless you have a natural aptitude for learning languages though. It would take you like 4+ years or maybe more. Go onto any Japanese learning community and you can see for yourself how many mostly diligent adult learners on their 5th+ year are still stuck in that upper intermediate/advanced slump and still prefer using translations for most written media. Adult learners need a lot of immersion, like 4-5+ hours a day at minimum, or they need to have good language acquisition capability if they want to become fluent in a few years. And as much as I agree with you and >>46000463, most people will not stick with learning for 4+ years at such a pace especially if they are constantly putting off immersion because they have no time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46000942
Are we just talking about input here or output as well? I cant see how input only would take someone 4+ years even as an adult, as long as they’re consistently reading something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46002007
If you want to fully understand all the little nuances it's going to take longer than that but if you just want to be able to understand 99% with occasional dictionary use then I agree. You can even learn by reading random crap like tweets and fanfiction on your phone whenever you have a little break here and there. Just read something.

Not the first anon but Im 24 started learning three and a half years ago and I read like one and half hours everyday usually. Although I didn’t start reading until like a year in. I’m def not fluent the only stuff I can understand 90% of without a dictionary is like school life and slice of life and I read REALLY slow, it took me like 300 hours to finish Piofiore lol. I can’t outpit at all unless it’s really basic stuff. I def won’t be fluent by the four year mark but maybe I’m just really stupid… Actually I’m kind of curious now are there any sisters here who are fluent after 4+ years? Do you guys have any tips because this topic makes me think I’m not learning the right way…

[Anonymous No.]

>>46006445
Increase your reading time and read more of difficult genres because you won't pick up on their vocab any other way. If you don't have additional time to read see if you can at least listen to Japanese audio while doing something that doesn't require your brain and look up words when you can. It's just a matter of total hours, some might have a better memory than others but overall it's still going to take thousands of hours for everyone.

It would take most adults 4+ years to become fluent under the assumption they are immersing and studying the language for 1-2 hours per day. Adults who do it in less time than that with the same number of hours just have a natural aptitude for language learning and they are exceptional. If you are not exceptional you should expect 4+ years before fluency.
I’m not just pulling these numbers out of my ass. These are numbers published by the FSI as the projected amount of time for a native English speaker to learn Japanese to general professional proficiency https://www.state.gov/foreign-language-training/
The average number of hours to learn Japanese is 2200 classroom hours (assuming you are studying somewhat optimally, I think immersing in the language can be considered somewhat optimal study). Divide 2200 by 1.5 to get the number the number of days it would take then divide it again by 365 to get the number of years. So it’s around 4 years assuming a consistent 1.5 hours a day. Thinking you can hit fluency in under that as a native English speaker when you’re not exceptional is just cope and misinformation.

>>46006445
This is completely normal progress, see my wall of text above. Just keep immersing everyday for the same amount of time and you will get there in 0.5-1 year, or increase how much you immerse. Personally I found reading to be better for quicker language gains than listening but like >>46007090 said there is no trick unless you have high natural aptitude (“intelligence” as I called it in my initial post).

Saiki, JABBERWOCKY
Seems we have gone from Oz to Alice, does this mean Ishimatsu will be Mary Poppins? Anyway. Ever since Kujo I had insane high expectations for this route, since Saiki is hands down, no contest, the best character in Cage. He dominates any scene and any route that gives him a role. Well we are not quite there yet, but for a Love route this was solid. A grim early route, then a sharp turn to mindnumbing idealism immediately on entering the Love branch, then a sudden somber cold shower near the finish with a final sharp course correct to a Destroy end. All in all not a bad ride at all.

Ishimatsu just chilling, Jun's laughter. Good stuff. And Saiki of course is ded, but this frees up the entire Destroy branch for something different, so I'll call this a win.
As for the route itself. I came so very close to breaking protocol to post a wall of text about the rape by proxy scene while it was happening.
>I said "rape him", not "jam your dick in right away"! Do you think it would be fun if your ass was leaking shit 24/7?
I so fucking lost it. And then Saiki unleashed his sermon on Teppei. Some very interesting playing with the "no matter how he acts, a child is a child is a child" sentiment on this route. I'm actually surprised that the nature vs nurture debate was so conclusively settled with Jun and Shun being not so different after all despite their completely different temperaments. Even though the route spelled it out that Jun's existence as an actual twin is the entire reason the Love route could happen (and probably not end in complete disaster on the Love ending, maybe), regardless of his reasons.
Also some new lore on this route. So the final game mode is "Shield", still no idea what it is though. The involvement of Gondou Heavy Industries here pretty heavily implies that he is alive on every route, probably even if the coin's origin story changes on the Destroy branch. Also Oohira Pharmaceuticals, huh. I had to go back to Open to double-check because I remembered that a name came up in one of the pharma conspiracy scenes, and what the hell, it really was Oohira. Shame on Teppei for not recongnizing his spirit animal's company. Well I guess Oohira wasn't his bff in the Open timelines, I'm pretty sure Teppei said he doesn't have any close friends. And since this was confirmed on two routes already it's pretty safe to say that the Game is on its first iteration in the Close timeline, unlike in Open where it was already held multiple times.
Ah yeah, Nitta and Yoshimoto had some nice scenes too. Kujo on the other hand was amazingly useless considering he still holds the record for being the only character to solo the Game and kill every-fucking-one guards and all included. They really downplayed his power level.
Ed.03 Waiting room was a pretty good death end too. Nice bruised Teppei CG. And lots of thinking about Oohira. Oohira, oh Oohira, you better believe we are making up for the time when he still didn't exist. Oohira, Oohira, ohh.

Saiki, and it really WAS a kitten, after all.
And I guess No.4 can be Winnie-the-Pooh. Cute turning 18 celebratory sex. I find the thought that for 7 years Teppei was all "cease your illegal doings~ come on~ cease your illegal doings~" while Saiki was just constantly seething because Teppei wouldn't let him get his fuck on very amusing. I also liked the part where Teppei went home and his family was like "wow nice suit" and no one noticed the fuckhuge gaping scar on his face or wondered if he was going to die from sepsis any day now. Also he was not even supposed to be a participant lmao. This is the guy who slept with like 50% of the participants, 100% of the upper management, an unknown number of guards and like 30% of the sponsors, and he wasn't even supposed to be there haha, oh this is gold.

>That anon is probably not going to play anything in Japanese, ever.
I'm actually considering dropping it entirely for reasons unrelated to the localization. The story isn't super interesting so far. I'll stick to the English version since this is what I already have, at that point I'm just selecting the auto option and putting the VN in the background while shitposting elsewhere. There are VNs I can see myself reading in Japanese someday but this one isn't one of them.

>No one with no free time is going to slog for 5 hours in Japanese over a scene they could read in 1 hour in English.
True, that doesn't help a whole lot, but I think it wouldn't have been an issue if there were furigana because looking for words in a dictionary would take way less time. I just went back to work after a week of holidays. I work 40h a week and commute 2h everyday on top of that and I'm looking for an apartment as well. I think I should start with shorter VNs if I want to read them in Japanese. It's not a VN but I already planned to play the FF Pixel Remaster in Japanese because they're fun games, I already know the stories because I played other remakes before.

>does this mean Ishimatsu will be Mary Poppins
The Little Prince actually

>Saiki
One of the most adorable things about Saiki is how vulnerable he really is. Don't get me wrong, he's apparently overperforming whatever's expected of the average onzoushi and holding his own against wily old geezers, but he's not really a 6D chess kaibutsu or anything (unlike his father), he's fundamentally still just a particularly gifted brat fumbling around, in thrall to his various complexes re: his parents. I like that much better than if he was fully in control. Of course he still exudes that aura of raw dominance so it's the best of both worlds.

>Oohira
I actually forgot Oohira was barely mentioned in Open. IIRC it was because Teppei kept ignoring his calls to meetup due the game rather than him literally not existing, I think? They're old buddies but he does seem a bit too distant to be called a close friend.

>Kujo was amazingly useless
The poor lovestuck idiot would rather die than hurt Teppei.

I'll wait for you to finish Destroy for more remarks because I can't remember if some stuff was in the Love or Destroy route.

>>46025041
That ending was so sweet but it was somewhat ruined because every time I look at Saiki I see that scumbag shota from Hanahook's doujinshi.

>his family was like "wow nice suit"
It was hilarious how they did a 180 shift in attitude in Maki's route too. "I still have no idea what you're doing late at night but since you're wearing a suit it must be a good thing, ganbare aniki!" Total bugpeople.

>he was not even supposed to be a participant
I kept thinking it was extremely contrived how even such a powerful group would pick people who live at home with their families and risk exposure/complications when there are so many social pariahs no one would miss they could have taken instead.
In another route it's also revealed that the whole "we're just gonna kill your family I don't give a shit" threat was a bluff, or at least the "I don't give a shit" part was, since a fuckup of that magnitude leads to the game's cancellation and Saiki losing face.
It was probably just to trick Teppei into thinking they're doing him a favor by letting him fix his own mess when it was really the smoothest way of resolving the situation. More realistic than I expected (kidnapping people in broad daylight is still absurd though.)

>looking for words in a dictionary would take way less time
Use a text hooker, it would be completely appropriate for someone in your situation. There are apparently plugins that can add furigana automatically but I'm not knowledgeable about that or whether they're accurate since I learned Japanese long before they existed, but there are tons of tools these days for learners that make things easier.

I got over the Hugo thing quick after he dies a cuck lmao but I cant get over that bad ending in Yves' route where Hugo tells Ceres to kill herself and she not only says yeah, but lets the little homo be the one to cut her head off after he screeched at her. I wish they at least showed Yves' reaction to her death but it cuts off.

How's olympia soiree?

[Anonymous No.]

>>46037368
Pretty good IMO. The common route can be a bit much to slog through since its quite long and there are no choices in it, but that also means that on subsequent playthroughs you can use the archive system to just start a new game right from the end of the common route without having to skip-read through the whole thing.

Setting/premise are neat, the world the game takes place in and how its influenced by what is basically another realities objects/people washing up on its shores is mysterious and makes the japanese fantasy aesthetic make a lot more reasonable sense than it may have otherwise.

LI's are all pretty likeable too, they all focus on a different aspect of the island/the struggles faced there, and none of the conflicts feel overtly contrived. For a localised otome game, it gets decently heavy when it comes to sex too, even if its still not explicitly shown. (Also this is one of the few times where the 'poster boy' character actually has a really good route that was worth locking off until last.)

Also, of course, the art and music are gorgeous, especially the character designs, which are definitely over the top, but not in a bad way, at least to me.

World building is interesting, art's great
Characters and routes themselves are just alright. I liked the characters well enough when I played it but I don't have any kind of lingering affection or anything
I also have some voice lines branded into my brain permanently because of how the writer had a big red button on their desk that did nothing but insert flashback scenes and they used it as a fidget toy

I’ve been playing through some PC (not necessarily R18) otome games recently and it really makes me sad that that market has dried up in the past few years because it feels like they had a lot more freedom than console stuff, not only around edgier content but in how long the games were or their structures.

Not alive enough to make anything new or put out DL editions I guess, but at least they're looking to print more copies of blackish because their 'final run' sold out way quicker than what they expected.

Also there's that new brand with nakamura sachiyo x kazuaki. They're supposedly working on an R18 game called Key la box, but I don't think there's been updates for a while.

I'm curious how popular the rapey one is gonna be.
It seems in recent years these types of characters are in decline, Hanazawa, Madarame, Mink etc seem to have very few fans. Japan nowadays seems to enjoy characters like Kawase/Kuya who have a mean/kinky attitude and a sharp tongue but aren't downright abusive.

Cage remake will be fully voiced sis! Thing is it was supposed to come out around 2020…But at least the circle is still active. Hopefully it'll come out soon! The new art looks really appealing! But really need to take the kinshikupill.

>goblino
Hope the goblino shrine will flourish you with only good things sis! Make sure to make daily offerings, in order to get goblino and the incest Gods blessings! Kek, reminds me in sims 4 if you didn't make offerings to the gnomes during a festival, they destroyed your house or if too angry they put your house on fire haha.
Tysm sis! You can't pirate merch after all and goblino is an expensive boy.
>66,666 yen
What the actual fuck. I'd pay that price for a Majima robot like the one in Watase Yuus manga, Zettai Kareshi kek. Should be 666 indeed goblino number. These prices are disgusting. Aromarie really needs to reprint these resellers can be cunts.

>Sanzen
Np sis! Orion is hot af but Raikou looks really sexy too! he better be the incest route

>Kotomi
I like her art too. Really improved in Paradise, Azuma looks adorable, especially when he breaks down or when getting cock. I wish Takara had a better design. I don't mind the goblin height, but he looks hideous. They should make cute goblins. He might have been my fav if he looked a little better. That's a lie Matsuda's the best.

>Yoshiwara
Surprisingly all Yoshiwara LIs were enjoyable in their own ways and the game was incredibly sexy, but as incredibly tragic. Really good game though! I should go back to Koezaru Akai Hana. The art is nice.

>Azumas VA
He is really good at Nucarnival. The selfest event where he fucks himself was kino. I really hope Nucarnival gets ported one day to a PC platform or something. It's actually a really cute and funny and the devs must be hardcore blvn fujos. Azuma has many similarities with Eiden for example, such as both growing up in an orphanage, depression, abandonment issues etc. Unlike Azuma though Eiden didn't get beaten.
I liked Kitayama in Kankinkon, he voices a delusional nutjob, Touji is bestboy though, but he isn't bad. I like him in otome, but with such a moaning talent he should strictly do bottoms in blvns lol.
Pilslash games indeed very JOP friendly. Especially their first two, koibito yuugi and masquarade. Dystopia no Ou is fine too! Their otome were fine too but sis, yes fuck that slang. Took me time in mashou megane to find out about a word that in the end was in katakana but the English original word was nothing alike lmao?
>having the characters greet you
Kek i love that, especially in Shingakkou, August is like, if you open it in the middle of the night he'll tell you that ghosts will come for you/roaming around meanwhile motherfucker is the most dangerous individual in the whole game and even ghosts don't want to come close to him haha (legit).

I'm definitely replaying it! That ending was everything, kino, heatwrecking, emotional, including a dose of pils dark sense of humor (not karin's level since pil actually serious).
I really like Mitsugi too haha rude cute bastard! ”It's not even a millimeter in?! And keeps seething about Azumas sexy show while trying to stick his dick in but comes haha And same, I love this trope too, doing everything for hubby. Definitely play the fandisks sis! Baka couple dynamics! I love them! Some stuff are explained there actually! I really wish pil did much more, I mean they did dramacds, but paradise has so much potential lore. But their funds must have been limited. Really wish the best for them. May the English license make more people come to love pil and support them.
Hope your friend enjoys the game too!
IIRC it had many typos and some lines were even missing. But the switch/steam one was polished and they changed some sentences too. Really a shame that no one picked up the R18 version.

Help me me remember, /blog/. Only you would remember a thing like this.

It's probably a BL game in which the guy, after being dicked, he's so in ecstatic that he walks a long distance thinking about cock. Nothing else. He's even approached by people walking around him, but he's so into cock that he doesn't react, just walks.

Any ideas?

Oh shit fuck. Until a few minutes ago I could only ramble incoherently, but now I'm just exhausted again. Completely drained. So let me guess, this route is the reason we can't buy the game anymore, isn't it.

Guess this answers my question about Close's strategy for Destroy routes. While Open had these long stretches of calm before the storm until shit hit the fan at full force in the final act, Close sucks you in from the start and from there spirals out of control, totally claustrophobic, no escape, just hit after hit after hit until you are empty inside and grateful it's over. This was excellent horror. Classic horror, the creeping doom and descent into madness variety. But MOTHERFUCKER THAT FACE I almost had a heart attack. And then everyone was howling in chorus, the mother, Teppei, Shun, Jun. SHIT.

Alright. A short break because I need to clear my head, some more talk, two more bad ends, and then it's finally time for the poor, long-suffering chuuni.

>The Little Prince actually
Then this will be gut-wrenching. Well. Bring it on.

>but he's not really a 6D chess kaibutsu or anything
Oh no, definitely not. He might become that by the time he reaches adulthood on the Love route, but in the present he is very much just a small, thoroughly broken child lashing out, with too much power and just enough competence to keep it all from falling apart. On his route, at least. On the other routes and especially in Open where he didn't take too many additional risks everything went swimmingly for him. Pretty impressive considering he did it behind his father's back. Now Destroy Saiki, it's a miracle he kept it together for this long. Also what's up with these two and incest play, seriously.

>IIRC it was because Teppei kept ignoring his calls to meetup due the game rather than him literally not existing, I think?
Was it? I don't remember Oohira or any unnamed friends getting mentioned anywhere in Open, except for that one namedrop of the company. But there's probably much I failed to pick up on, especially on my first routes, so maybe?
It's just, even if he existed before, now Teppei spends so much time thinking about this guy in almost any bad/minor end it's utterly hilarious.
>Maki left a void in my heart that will never, ever heal... anyway I'm off to meet Oohira.
>I don't mind returning to my normal, boring life. I have my family and that's all that matters. And Oohira. Oohira is also an important part of my life. On the same level as my family, yes.
>I'm dying... I'm dying for sure... Oohira,.. You are surely in heaven, but I am going to hell, so we won't be able to meet...
>And then Oohira ripped out my heart. Thank you for letting me die. You truly are my dearest friend...
et cetera. It's always Oohira, Oohira, Oohiraoohiraoohira. Holy shit Teppei you haven't talked to this guy in half a year!

>The poor lovestuck idiot would rather die than hurt Teppei.
Yeah, he has that particular brain rot. I can't fault him for this one though, that stab to the neck was a total surprise hit. It's not like he straight up decided to die for Teppei, unlike Nanakawa, that crazy fucking lunatic.
>Why? Why? Why would he do such a thing?!
See Teppei, there was this route called YOU'RE A MASTER...
Teppei killing Nitta in a fair fight was pretty impressive, glad that happened before they handed him a gun for shits and giggles. And leave it to Yoshimoto to show compassion to a kindred soul. In many ways that was a kinder end than the actual ending.

>Total bugpeople.
No kidding. I wonder if they learned any lessons from the Destroy route. From their perspective these events played out something like: Teppei one night comes home late and acts like he is out of his mind. Next morning he calls the police and starts talking nonsense. For the next two nights he keeps staying out late, but now insists that everything is fine. He sleeps until late afternoon, heads out for the night, and calls in the morning to say he'll be gone on a business trip for a week. For two days he calls every now and then, then stops responding altogether, and then a day later his phone is dead. You call his workplace, and of course they know nothing about the "business trip". And then you never get any answers or closure.
Pretty typical story when you don't know the details. Well, but they still have four kids left, so better luck next time.

>More realistic than I expected
Yes, but then again Teppei was not the only highly questionable choice, and the threat to have his family eliminated was not even the most outrageous thing they have done. Segawa iirc was also living with his parents and little brother, Kujo is an actual celebrity, but Gondou is definitely the worst can of worms. I can't think of a single logical reason for wanting to eliminate him, let alone in such a contrived way. On Nitta's good route it's even confirmed that Saiki went through with the cleansing operation and the entire family was murdered with apparently no attempt made to cover it up since it made the news. That was a big reason why in Open there was such a strong sense of inevitability around the Game. Back then I just assumed this must be government-level or even international, but in retrospect it's hard to believe that Saiki acting on his own had the power to get away with it.

Lost media is an overstatement, stuff like will be floating around in second hand shops and if you ask around online it's likely someone somewhere has it sitting around, pretty much every PC otome game was uploaded to an old russian website called otome anri at some point, though most of their newer links (including what you're looking for) are dead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46059632
I noticed L&D has been awfully quiet these days, yeah. Wonder what happened. Though, there's always this awkward "hiatus" with a lot of BL/otome companies. As usual, I could only guess this genre has a hard time sustaining itself from the poor business... I hope they'll release the Cage remake and the other games they're developing at the very least. And yeah, definitely give 禁飼育 a shot! I'm an unabashed shill for Gayoushi as always but I recommend them highly to anyone who enjoy the Pil stuff and is okay with DV/other explicitly edgey content in otome. Since I read the Majo related doujinge shortly before - Matsuda's domineering nature, the abusive relationship dynamics in Paradise + Azuma's monologues/him being an emotionally damaged wagey baka gave me Gayoushi-like vibes even if the writing styles are different.

>Majima
Sis, I just got my parcel from the post office a few days ago but I'm already tempted to do another round of Majima merchandise for an even bigger contribution. Scalper prices are just ridiculous 仕方ない
Also that meme edit - I remember that game mechanic in the Sims too lmao. Not sure about 4, but it's funny how they'll literally come to life and kick your sims by the shin in the older games. Little trolling bastards just like Majima. Aromarie better reprint more of their rare mechandise this year. So far they only did bromide card reprints at Lawson orz

>Kotomi
Some of the sprites are a bit awkward in Paradise if I'm being honest. Maybe it's because they're constantly on screen to the point where I just notice the not so nice details like a nitpicky autist... But yes! The CGs illustrated by Kotomi are indeed quite good. I like the muscle/nipple detail and overall vibe to them. Only wished Kotomi was commissioned to depict more of the explicit non-H scenes like the one where Matsuda struggled to get his axe out after striking into someone's cranium... Pretty topshit. The writers did a fine job on that one.

>Takara
Yeah, I don't particularly care that much about Takara's design either. Not big with younger looking 少年 characters at any rate desu. though bloody/bandaged Takara after Matsuda tried to flatten the smelly little dipshit isn't bad even if those shoes still look retard tier ugloo Matsuda is of course better! BL/otome needs more more manly, ossan-like characters like him. So tempted to get mechandise of the ultra cute chibis, too. I'm in love with SD Matsuda.

>Yoshiwara
Glad to hear that! I heard nothing but good things about Yoshiwara, including those who aren't big with otome. Seems super underrated but I can tell it's something I'll enjoy. Excited to try it out one day.

>Azuma's VA
Oh nice. I knew a little about Nucarnival but I had no idea that it was that ranchy with his VA. Selfcest is also nice, yum. The protagonist seems super cute, I could only guess he's best boy from the spoilers? I can hear those ultra エロい moans in my head now. I remember playing that Kankinkon game with Azuma's VA ages ago. Keep on forgetting that was him all along

>JP
Yeah, I ended up learning quite a lot from reading Paradise. The voice collection feature is quite useful - wish more games had it. At this point, pure kana, especially katakana is the most agonizing to me. Kanji is not even a huge issue compared to those.
btw to be completely honest, I have yet to read Shingakkou but I really want to one day. It's always those seemingly normal looking guys who hide the craziest shit huh? I just enjoy those types so I know I'll love August haha

>Mitsugi
Yes Desperately hanging onto Mitsugi and Azuma then becoming deredere from his usual tsundere attitude towards him is just frankly adorable. Even though the ending was very sad, it was also super sweet in way? Cute dumbasses. Mitsugi crying at the end... ><
>spoiler
That part was fun, too. So many good moments between the two. I just enjoy tsundere/tsundere relationships a lot in this medium, really. My Japanese friend loves Mitsugi so much to the point where I just so confused when I first started reading Paradise. Like how the fuck this blonde asshole is even charming? Has no problems with living in total filth even and somehow enjoys bullying + giving Azuma random handjobs out of nowhere too kek. Bet that tsundere fell in love with Azuma at first sight.
But yeah, it's really the endings, characterization and atmosphere which makes Paradise a fairly unique experience despite the seemingly cliche plot at first glance. Definitely worth a revisit. Hopefully when the TL comes out, people would be willing to do group readings and give out more of their opinions. I also wish for the success of Masquerade/Paradise overseas - more Pil games would be nice to see. I will definitely read the FDs for sure, too. My backlog became so crazy once I started learning JP seriously so I actually wrote down a priority list for 2024 where Musubi is 100% coming right after.

Guess doujin companies really do struggle. I hope they successfully release it, though! I know I'm delulu but if things go according to keikaku lol, maybe the writers are busy working on yet another pilslash game? That's why they are busy, and their circles games are on a second fate? Idk, pilslash does seem to not be doing that well, but they do release a game every 4–5 years. And always announce it when they have already progressed on it. We'll see!
This year seems to be the year of switch ports, though lol. Konami finally woke up, and also Matatabi out of nowhere lol. If only Koei does the same or Rejet.
Will definitely give Gayoushi a try! I'll make it a new year's goal to finish majou series and garasu. Matsudas toxic relationship with Azuma is just so good and well written. It's not the shit you see in nitro games, "yes I'll beat you and rape you because

You'll leave your Majima shrine to your ancestors and who knows, one day this collection will be to a museum along with our shitposts explaining the goblino legacy haha.

Sims 4 was really shit actually but this one was hilarious. Gremlino gnomes following gremlin kings example and lighting fires and trolling everyone. I'm trying to stay positive that 2024 will be aromaries comeback! Reprint their goodies but also release Gikei.

>kotomi
Sprites are sometimes made by assistants, so that's why they might look derpy sometimes, but i get you in that. My nightmare is finding yaoi hands or weird feet on CG. Then i cant unsee it and my autistic brain can't move past it so i cant focus. I hate it. One of the reasons that i want to try J*sts version is Azumas asshole and cute pp. I'm sure both will have a cute pink color. Matsuda's will be violent and veiny. Mitsugis clean but with his attitude someone would assume that he has phimosis. Takara is a horrorcow like Fujita. I don't know if i want to see it uncensored or not desu.

This sis, i hate it sm! If only pilslash went full horror and gore. I don't know why they no longer do that. They go all the way with their damn beastiality scenes but Matsuda axing people is a no no. Taliking about Matsuda and craniums though, reminded me of goblino fds bad end who sent someone's head flying and then unbothered went uwu and sexy time with Yuriko while the head and the corpse were still lying on floor. I love them both so much. I also love Matsuda sis shitposts about Matsuda sometimes here.

>Manlera
I'm not fond of younger looking ones too, i do have some exceptions, though usually otoutos/otoutoppois but that aside, I think Takaras design is hideous and it's a shame bc he is interesting. What is infuriating but lowkey funny tho is that Takara is uggo but his dad and bro and fucking hot, ofc his dad is not as stable too but holy cow is he hot. Looks like the only acceptable 3DPD, dilf Mads Mikkelsen from cannibal. If only paradise focused more on his family and Nanjou... Sasuga our Azumas charm, attracting all the nutjobs. but lol sis, same haha. That's my fav ending actually, i loved Matsuda so much there. We really need more Matsudas in otome. Ossan tropes are so underatted. They give us really hot side ossan charas, leaving us to only fantasize about them. I hate it HATE IT. Desperadrops has one but i dont like his beard much and hair, he does look a lil like a Jersey shore contestant, but I'd fuck him. His seiyuu hot too.

>yoshiwara
Hope you have fun with it sis! I'm actually planning to replay it. Shou-chan a cute.

>azumas va
It's actually really fun! Sadly, I'm not as active anymore, but I'll do a comeback now that the depressed slutty fox, my boy, will have an event. The game is all about Eito though. He is so adorable. Yes Eito is bestboy and most loved. Actually, all the boys are popular and adorable. I don't know who is the most popular. Maybe it's Kuya afterall? I keep forgetting that too haha. Touji was the best after all so. Another delicious mess of a man. But Azumas moans top-notch. His seiyuu is pretty adorable irl too. He is really cute and loves hedgehogs. Sad that the one he was raising died recently though.

This! I love the saved voice lines actions so much. My slots are all full of Matsuda's kek or Azumas moans. If only chou no doku had them too. I hate it that i have to decrypt the game to get the moans every damn time.
I find katakana the most agonizing ones too sis.. i hate them so much. Since they bother to use an eng word why not just go ahead and use it as it is? Lmao. Yeah kanji is okay since you can always use a tool like kanjitomo or whatever. But katakana? Hahaha have fun. Sometimes even jp slang dictionaries don't have them.. i wonder if there's an urban dictionary jp equivalent for boomers like myself.

>Shingakkou
Sis go ahead with Shingakkou! I highly recommend it to everyone. It's well written, the horror elements atmosphere top-notch and actually all the LIs are fun. I did like Cecil the least, i mean he is not a bad boy he cute, but i really don't have it with innocent-type tropes and routes. Well his route not innocent at all though. August is awesome. I love well written villains and unhinged sluts who become super obsessive towards MC . Neil is awesome, reminded me of Shibas good points + the red hair and Leonid was cute too. The twin well....you'll see I won't spoil. Since you just started your BL journey, i highly recommend both Shingakkou and Hashihime. But yeah i think you'll definitely like August. Like goblino, they aren't meant for happiness, will burn down all their rivals or off themselves the moment they lose to another dick . Protagonist is a cutie. Marukis and Kusakas writings are pretty similar. Kusaka likes tragedies more than Maruki, they both love obsessive schizo tropes and write great antagonists. I want to read the game they did together. If only they write a bl/otome together. It'd be such a kamige.

>mitsugi
I love how he broke and mellowed down in the end. Dw sis, in the fd they do them justice they are basically a baka married couple.

Yes i was surprised by how much Mitsugi is popular, he was very high in the coolb poll too, 3rd or smth. But after completing his route it really makes sense! He starts so annoying you want to throw a punch on his smug but the moment he mellows down he becomes so adorable. Hahaha he is actually very similar to Leonid from Shingakkou. Both Mitsugi and Leonid lived in total filth and Azuma and Michael had to be their personal maids in order to keep them alive. Michael was even worried that one day he'll find Leonid dead hidden under the trash. I love Mitsugis tsundere autism more than Leonids cooderetism though. Definitely going to replay it! Actually I'll probably go ahead and play it in Japanese, forgot about the animation patch kek. Overall praying for pilslash's comeback and hopefully the eng market opening will be fruitful for them! Learning jp really makes backlog bigger haha! This year I've been replaying my favorites. I saw a post about Moshikami and really made me want to replay it.

Ishimatsu, Apprivoiser
This was gut-wrenching. And this was only the Love route. This was the Love route, right? The title card said so.

This route had such a ridiculously slow start it bordered on meandering. I triggered my first bad end (ED.10 MANNEQUIN) and the route was yet to show its first CG. I passed the branching point and still no CG. I hit the ending and wtf is this, CG variants don't usually take up separate slots? Cheating, this is cheating L&D where are the CGs where are they?
But everything after Saiki gave his order was pure kino. Totally deserves to be a honorary Destroy route. I've seen some shit in this game, but Teppei happily contemplating if it's gay if he didn't hate getting dicked down by a guy, while the scene kept cutting back to his family getting eviscerated by said guy was pretty wild. That scene where he returns home was really well done. ED.12 眠れる深い白い森 was also excellent.
Somehow we had even more OohiraOohiraOohira on this route. Now he was even having a two-way convesation with this fagit in his head. You did it, Teppei, keep this up a little longer and you'll have that tulpa by the end. I really wonder now if he was mentioned in Open. Perhaps on Nitta's route? 90% of my misconceptions about the story seem to originate from the Nitta(+common) route. Well, it was my first route, I had zero context for anything, so that makes sense.

>"My hair is dyed. That, and growing it out was Saiki's idea. The coat too. "This will sell our game", basically."
Sasuga. Very meta. So he wasn't truly a chuuni. What a tweest.

Five CG slots left to split between four endings, at least two of which are still on this route. That's on the extreme low end compared to the previous Close routes, though in line with the generally shorter Open ones. But this was an unusually dark Love route, so I'm curious to see where this is heading.

Ishimatsu, Voilà, C'est tout.
Peak emotion. So the half-branch was on the Love route. But it's so stange, Ishimatsu's route really is a Love route that altogether feels nothing like a Love route. For example if there were no other route for him beside this one I stll would walk away completely satisfied. Loved Shizuka's post-mortem monolog. Being a poorfag working class family in Nippon is legit suffering. Teppei entering the workforce after high school (iirc he may have been a kosen grad but that only had like a single throwaway mention so I'm not sure) and will work manual labor until his body breaks down because his family desperately needs the money, Shizuka being just as miserable working part-time and doing most of the housework (for seven fucking people), though at least she got to go to uni so her prospects are infinitely better than Teppei's. Asami about to graduate high school too, and there are still two more kids who'll need education. Grim.
For Ishimatsu's destroy route we have two more endings and four CGs left. That means it now seems extremely likely that Ishimatsu will have only about half as many sex scenes as the Saiki route. Not a problem per se, but sure unexpected.

I figured at this point of my life, I'd rather just give everything the benefit of doubt even there are plenty of good reasons to think otherwise. Bad for me mentally to think too negatively when it's so easy to do so. The year's still early.

>Konami finally woke up
Imo Konami has been so bad at managing their IPs lately, I wasn't so sure about the TMGS trilogy remaster at all. I used to be a huge fan of so many of Konami's games in the past so it's pretty awkward for me to put faith in them these days. But at the very least, I'm glad the TMGS remaster has higher sound quality! Perfect for voice clip collecting and personal projects.

>Will definitely give Gayoushi a try!
Doujin works deserves so much more love and attention, I just can't help myself but to bring up authors like Gayoushi time to time. Besides that, Majo's LI is a really interesting one for his relationship towards the protagonist and the sort of toxic crap he does to exert control over others. Zaijouin has very little trust in other people where Yaneko is no exception. Objectively, he sees her vastly inferior to himself and yet, he is very much dependent on her existence in reality. Without her, his own workaholic life is quite desolate.
In that regard, I can sense Matsuda has somewhat of a similar thing in his relationship with Azuma but unlike in Majo where Yaneko constantly struggles to put distance between herself and with the destructive LI, Azuma is very much a classic enabler within a codependent relationship by which he has extreme difficulty with giving up on Matsuda. Azuma knows very well with how much of a fool's errand he's on while trying to "fix" Matsuda for the sake of everyone. The way Paradise conveys this while also heavily exploiting Azuma's altruism and emotional issues is rather "realistic" I'd say. From the few Nitro/Chiral titles I did read for a bit, the sort of abusive relationships depicted in them didn't feel nearly as impactful or believable to me for sure.

>Majima
While I really want to buy more Majima merchandise, I had to suppress the urge and save a bit for a while. Maybe later this year when I see more news from Aromarie. I already spent so much on buying presents for other people lately, too. Man, I really need to get off my lazy ass and just engage with more DIY projects though. So many things I want of Majima but none of it actually exists. Hopefully there will be good news coming from Aromarie this year in general. Though, I'll be satisfied with just nice merchandise of Majima if I'm being completely honest.

>Sims
I had tons of fun just messing with garden gnomes in the older Sims games so I gotta check this out and those fucking sex mods for a good chuckle. Can't stop laughing at those Sims 4 lewds people would post But yeah, 4 is a pretty bad game, more or less a testament how EA ruins everything they touch. Unironically hope that upcoming Korean Sims clone succeeds. The current situation with the AAA video game industry seriously needs to change. Besides the Artificial Academy games being the closest you can get for BL/otome, it's kinda sad how there isn't really an anime/manga styled Sims game with VA work and customization in general.

>Kotomi
Ah, when you say that, the assistants potentially working on sprites makes a lot of sense. I'm a sucker for pretty colors and fluffy hair but once I see details which does manage to mess with me and my autism, it's over.
Honestly wish good pubic hair is more of a thing in BL/otome but I will take a good looking chimpo any day. The one thing I can appreciate Hamashima Shigeo from CLOCKUP/parade is that she's a huge appreciator of drawing nice genitals/pubes even under the mosaic. For that reason, Shigeo is one of my top favorite artists even if her guys are a mixed bag. JP artists for this medium are notorious for not drawing much of anything underneath the censor.

But yeah, I really do think Kotomi not illustrating more of the non-H is wasted potential. If CLOCKUP/parade can commission artists to draw all the gruesome details then I don't see why Pil/Slash can't do the same? Wonder if it's a budget issue and/or if Kotomi is actually not interested in drawing such extreme content with the actual characters themselves (despite the whole bestiality history). Who knows. It's really low budget how that bloodstain and mangled corpse CG was reused several times If wasn't for Kyuuyouzawa Lychee's juicy writing style, I would have considered these scenes as cheap afterthoughts. Though Matsuda's DV mania/smashing heads open like watermelons would surely become a meme if the Paradise localization gets popular. Azuma calling him a gorilla several times is just funny to me. Somehow makes me think of Donkey Kong and how he'd smash people into the ground with a shit eating grin.

>Takara
I get why Takara was designed the way he is since he's clearly supposed to be the "innocent", bright eyed little boy who's always rooting for Azuma but is actually one of the biggest assholes out of them all. but I don't know. I'm probably tripping but it's weird how disproportionate he feels when I look at him closely now actually. I like tarame eyes and all, but the hueg uguu just makes Takara kinda look like an alien with that head shape?? Would say this is even more apparent in some of his CGs even. Doesn't seem like drawing younger guys/shotas is Kotomi's strongest point at all. Still going through Takara's route so I can't say my expectations are especially high with the rest of the CGs involving him lmao. Definitely cuter as a chibi.

>Ossan trope
Definitely yes. desu I wouldn't mind if Matsuda was actually in his 30s/40s as much as Azuma joked about it at the beginning. Hongou isn't bad either. Kinda do like him actually even with that massive shitpost of an ending lmao. Only guessing the FDs salvages him at some level IMO DesperaDrops ossan seems pretty OK even if I'm not big with that haircut myself.
Unfortunate how older men, especially with cooler characterization, does seems to be way more common outside BL/otome though. I love ikemen but I also enjoy more mature men... Huge childhood crush on a lot of Metal Gear characters which is the closest I'd get to """3DPD""" related stuff.

>Yoshiwara
Very nice! When you do replay Yoshiwara someday, please give out your impressions! I would love to see them.

>Azuma's VA
Ah, is that so? Glad to know Kitayama is pulling off more of those screams and moans. Tbh I got so badly burned by freemium/gacha games to the point where my wallet and I have PTSD oof. I hope that Nucarnival and all the other R18 BL/otome related games have the content constantly datamined at least.
Azuma's VA really does seem like a qt. Didn't know he was raising hedgehogs! Losing a pet is rough

>JP
Aaaa same. I saved so much dialogue/moans from Matsuda's route, it's ridiculous. Lots and lots of Azuma screeching too kek. Choudoku actually does have a voice collection feature in the Switch/Steam version but nothing for the original one, of course.
和製英語 is a nightmare, sis. I really enjoy learning/reading in JP but I can't help but laugh and sigh at the same time after trying to sound some words out loud and getting the meaning completely wrong. Kanji seriously makes things easier after I got over the beginner hurdle. For more unconventional JP lookups, I try to consult with resources like Yahoo!知恵袋 and HiNative. There's also this dictionary for 俗語
http://zokugo-dict.com/

>Shingakkou
Eventually I will read Shingakkou and Hashihime for sure. I had my eye on those games for a long time even when I didn't bother with BL too much back then. Really, the only thing holding me back is my turtle reading speed and irl stuff... Since I dived into the deep end with Paradise, I ought to read shorter VNs and play other games within the interim after I'm done with the FDs. But yes! The setting and characters in Shingakkou all seem exactly to my taste. Good to know there's a Shiba-like character as well. Very nice. A Maruki/Kusaka collaboration would be cool if only. Seems like they haven't wrote VN scenarios in years.

>Mitsugi ranked high
Yep, I vaguely remember reading a blog post about this. Paradise is apparently quite popular in Japan where Azuma was consistently topping popularity charts. No surprise Mitsugi could be also trailing right behind. He really synergizes with Azuma well and is perhaps the most "wholesome" love interest despite all the Dialovers level shit he does. Imo he's such a sweetie in reality. It's the little things the authors write which really makes me appreciate the characters in Paradise despite everyone being such trainwrecks.

>Mitsugi/Leonid + pic related
Oh damn, that's also a thing in Shingakkou with Leonid? Fucking lmao, only makes the whole trope even more hilarious to me. I gotta check that out. Midorikawa Hikaru is a big bonus, too.

>Moshikami
Oh that reminds me, Moshikami did get an Agent script not too long so good news for everyone who texthooks. Agent has been getting a lot of support lately and otome game scripts after the devs' long hiatus. Happy for them.

>praying for pilslash's comeback
Same. Furukawa is quite popular in a lot of stuff localized in West so hopefully that'll be a big selling point. Seems like the Paradise localization is due for release late April.

Jumping around saves to collect every ending is so tiring, I wish I wasn't a completionist. I was hoping this would be a fun trainwreck but this is mostly kind of boring, there isn't enough buildup to the bad ends for the most part so they don't have a lot of impact, nor do I care much about the characters or feel enough of a bond between them to justify things like letting at the very least thousands of people die in exchange for MC's life.
I've heard Leon's route is the weakest (so far I have only done his loyalty path and bad ends leading to it), I'm really weighing up whether to continue at the moment. The gameplay element isn't the absolute worst but I hate how every chapter is structured around it.
MC having surprise partial voice acting was a little fun I guess.

I feel like I'm gradually getting to that point, yeah. That's reassuring to know. What's nice about Japanese is that much of the vocabulary is structured rather systematically. Even without knowing the context or the readings initially, you can occasionally get a pretty good guess from an unknown word from just looking at it. Feels like some of the chemistry classes I used to take.

Teppei managing to survive as the coin holder for three days was actually impressive. Even if he did it by hiding through most of it after Nitta and Yoshimoto trashed his confidence. Total murderhobos, those two.
OohiraOohiraOohira (spikedbatspikedbatspikedbat)
Been a while since Teppei had thoroughly unpleasant sex. That was fun to see after the Love route had probably the most gentle scene in the game.

Ishimatsu very narrowly escaped becoming the route with the least ero scenes. Actually I did a quick count from memory:
Ishimatsu (3) = Yoshimoto (3) < Kujo (3+1 aborted but long enough to count) < Yagasaki (5) = Saiki (5) < Nitta (6+1 aborted pretty early) < Maki (12+1 fade to black, strangely enough)
Anyway.

ED.28 Flashlight
This one played out mostly as expected. To be honest I would have been pretty pissed if it didn't. There's only so much blueballing I can take and the game still owes me a big one and the end is rapidly approaching, and the panic is setting in. So yeah, this was good. Enough to delay my more and more likely to be inevitable screaming in agony for a few more days.

Oohira, you wonderful, wonderful yandere nutjob. I endured Teppei's incessant whining for this long hoping there'd be gross medical malpractice waiting at the end of the tunnel, and yessss, this will do. Teppei has the worst fucking luck with friends. Attracted his first yandere at ~10, his second at 15, and a third at 23. That's some shit luck. Reminds me of that girl, the name escapes me, who was murdered by one of her exes, though as it would later turn out both of her exes, completely indepent of each other, were serial killers. Same energy.
Saiki was the biggest winner of this route. The biggest disruptive element to his game got Chain'd (at least I assume, it was never directly stated), Saiki Group made a major acquisition, and he even got to laugh his ass off at wanton patricide. All in all a great day for him.
That first sex scene did a brilliant move when it switched away from Teppei's POV. Him laying paralyzed and completely soundless, zero narration, only Oohira's retardo babbling was freakish and almost entirely unappealing. ほら　ほら　わかる？　ほら　ここか？　ほら　like man, he definitely wins the award for worst sex lines. I laughed at the part where he admitted being shocked when he first realized that Teppei actually had a pretty big cock.
>LET'S CARNAVALE music starts playing
FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUU okay that was mercifully short and Stallone Oohira did get a laugh out of me.
>What did you expect? Did you think I would forgive you? I'm not that kind.
Well I... I'll be damned, I did? Oohira wins another prize for crossing the line so hard he DIDN'T trigger Teppei's Stockholm Syndrome, what in the, after all these sociopaths I would never have thought this possible. I mean ultimately this doesn't even come close to what Saiki did to him, though he gets a pass for being only 11.

And now, inject Kiba-speech directly into my veins.

Could contribute more doujinge like what I did for the other thread. Though, maintaining a torrent with dedicated seeders is ideal honestly. DDLs will always have a possibility to be taken down at any point, even for obscure games so the cycle just repeats itself where links die after a while and someone along the way requests a reupload. Easier to download from a torrent anyway because dl speeds and limits can be absolutely abysmally for a lot of hosts.

Nice. Just drop names of games that are dead at the usual sites and I'll upload them if I have them. Torrent anons feel free and take the stuff that I post afterwards and torrent them all you want. I have mostly PC otome games.

ED.25 Grace

Kurusu does a lot of dumb shit for the dumbest of reasons, the end.
Not that much stands out about this route, just that this late in the game the surprise omorashi was honestly totally unexpected. Otherwise yeah, dunno, it was ok. They wrote a Kiba route and made the guy spend 90% of it out of suit and without the voice modulator. I'm not even angry. Just disappointed. With this route die my hopes and dreams for a Kiba (gang) rape. Ah. That's just evil.

But warning, it's a fucked version from otomedream. Some random lines at the start are in MTL english, and some of the system text is chinese, but the entire rest is left untranslated. You also need to play it in chinese locale for it to work.
It's not a seperate fandisc but an append disc that requires the base game (Crimson Empire), and I believe you need to have finished the base game to access the append content. So I've thrown in the base game and a 100% save, there's also some rips of character song CDs I had lying around. Just paste the append files into the base game folder to play the append.
The folder in the base game labelled 'Original Japanese Text' seems to get rid of the english UI in the base game which was also patched by otomedream as far as I can tell, but I think the append files probably overwrite it, if you just want the append you can ignore it.

Are they pricing it based on the fact that it's two games in one? Know it's a niche game with low sales, so they'll price it similar to JP? Really wasn't expecting price to be this high for a digital release.

For those who played it before, is the story worth the high entry? Or wait for sale?

ED.01 The Milky Way

In this timeline Teppei and Oohira have been best friends since high school. Physically intimate best friends who pet each other, make love to each other, and whisper words of love in each other's ear as they climax togther. No homo. This is what best friends of the same sex normally do. Or so Oohira says.
This fucking route. I liked how Kurusu was like bitch are you for real when Teppei explained to him the bullshit Oohira fed him over the years. We had two scenes of Kurusu gently explaining to Teppei in basic sex ed 101 terms that this shit is fucked like he was talking to someone genuinely brain damaged. Fucking surreal. I mean especially given how he acted on his own route.
And then of course Oohira's instictive reaction is to enter abusive boyfriend rage and beat Teppei for being a cheating whore rather than to sit down and meditate on why his brainwashing backfired. Granted this presumably happened in the directaftermath of him murdering his own parents, so he may not have been in the bestest of frame of mind, but his sheer refusal to realize that Teppei's totally warped view of sex was because of how he trained him was just too funny to watch. Shakespearean comedic misunderstanding.
But! While the dp was not totally unexpected the happy threesome ending definitely was like what the hell? The whole dying together pledge was a red herring, and they didn't even accidentally beat Teppei to death with the spiky spiked bats when he jumped between them. Weird.
So in the end the carnage I was hoping for didn't really happen, but I'm happy with this unorthodox little thing as my final Cage route.

It's almost over. I have effectively every CG now sans the 100% clear so there's probably very little left. I'm going to miss this game so much.

Well, after 4 months it's finally over.
Shit. I'm already feeling the void so let's do rankings before I give in to despair. Given that Close was considerably more consistent than Open and with less things to rank this will be even more meaningless than the last time, but I need to say goodbye somehow.

Top 3 main end:
1.Can you help me find my way? 2.Tweedledum and Tweedledee 3.Apprivoiser
peu à peu would have ranked at least 3, maybe even 2 if them fucking on top of that pile of corpses with Teppei holding Saiki's severed head was actually shown. Flashlight was also a strong contender, but the ending itself just didn't have that punch that makes these things memorable.

Top 3 minor end:
1.Waiting Room 2.PANTHEISM 3.眠れる深い白い森
Open absolutely wins out here, nothing in Close comes even close to scapegoat. Waiting Room on the other hand is not that special in itself, but it has the benefit of happening at a very, very low point in the story which really enhances its impact. Compared to 処刑の日 I feel Behind time also failed to really capitalize on the horror of its Day 3 fail scenario which is eventually done beautifully on Ishimatsu's route but regardless I still think they could have done more with it. Eyeball is basically the equivalent of The Hollow/Grays, which were two of my favorites in the first game, but it would have worked better as a full fledged sub-route rather than just a minor end. It would have still ranked higher if its main themes weren't better elaboretd on in The Milky Way anyway (which was a great route, just with another mild ending).

Best minor character:
1.Umiko 2.Nitta&Yoshimoto 3.Nanakawa
Players must have disliked Open's structure because we have a much smaller cast of supporting characters here. They were not necessarily wrong, but that leaves me with less to rank. Umiko and Nanakawa both fall into the category where they really only have 1-2 outstanding scenes respectably, but in those few scenes they made a strong impression. Nanakawa only works with knowledge of Open though. Nitta and Yoshimoto on the other hand were just fun throughout the entire game, they actually work great as just these total asshole thugs. Jin is an intersting case since in some ways several routes revolve around him, but what he does on-screen is not what makes his character important. Also we had plenty of MIB action this time which is great, but the regular Kiba were very, very, very severely underused.

Top 3 sex scene:
1.Oh, you wicked little thing! 2.MYDEAR 3.Rescue of the Tin Woodman
Rescue remains memorable to me because I spent close to a minute twisting my neck trying to work the perspective out, Saiki is GOAT and his speeches make basically everything on his route instantly memorable, and MYDEAR made some very wise choices which I really appreciated. I treat the latter half of Maki's route as a whole, but comparing a string of scenes with other individual scenes wouldn't be fair, so s far as ranking goes those are out.

Final verdict for the series: 0/10, they had their chance, and they willfully missed it. Fuck you at least give me a doujin holy shit this is unbelievable!

So this is it. Anon who recommended these games to me, you have no idea what an incredible gift you gave me. I got four months of rare genuine entertainment, and four months of daily consistent reading practice, that's not a small thing. Being able to discuss the game with someone, to just share the excitement with someone, that too meant a lot. For all of these, and for sticking with me for so long, thank you.

I have 2 more endings/cgs to get though I basically finished the whole game, I really like the excitement/suspense that builds up, you really get that feeling of wanting to keep reading to find things out, it's kind of a tragic one overall. The romance is not terribly heavy in this game unfortunately although there's moments if you get the right choices etc, definitely more of a plot as opposed to romance one. There is a fan disc with romance though(I haven't read that one yet). All the guys appear in each other's routes, also it has an enforced playing order though the first two routes you can pick either Caius or Tyril(and then have to do the other's route. Tyril had my favorite voice, I got this game primarily because it was fantasy and the character designs stood out to me especially Zenn because I love brown skin and Tyril because of the black hair + cool tone pale skin. I kind of think the mc is a bit of a bitch at first after her common route but I still enjoyed it. Zenn is kind of a cuck(not a cheater) though, you'd have to read it to find out kek, his voice is also really good. Tyril and MC's banter was good, but he does have a sadder route, I think Zenn has a more angsty route too. Caius's bad ending route was the sexiest haha, actually I really liked his route overall though Caius himself isn't my favorite. Lucien almost doesn't have a route, it's like a common route, but he is always devoted to Mc in other routes. I think it was definitely worth it though I bought it for half off.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46243935
Its a fun ride, I'm usually not a fan of doing a lot of bad endings, but this game sort of incorporates them into the main story in a satisfying way that, as the other anon said, helps to build up the suspense of the plot overall.

Main issue IMO is just that the actual romance stuff is mostly pushed into the epilogue (though its still kind of understandable given how much serious shit is going on in the main routes themselves. Makes sense they don't really have time for flirting and shit.)

Tyril is definitely the highlight of the game in terms of entertaining characters, and the fandisc does a good job of expanding the individual endings/fleshing out the relationships a bit more.

There's maybe 100 people tops who read the entirety of Cage outside of Japan so it's indeed wonderful being able to talk about it with someone.

After that, I think my recs for you would be either Paradise (same writers, much lighter but also more mature vibe, and more professional quality) or Shitoku no Gyokuza (another sadistic doujinge focused on watching the MC descend into madness, possibly grimmer and darker than Cage if you can believe that, perfectly free btw: https://kurosering.wixsite.com/shitoku/download )

>Please take time to digest it.
Yep! Turns out my getting over Cage begins with about 200 pages worth of assorted SS! Speaking of which, do you have those few collections they sell on BOOTH? It's not much, but if you don't, will you let me buy them for you? Gifting on that site is to my knowledge totally anonymous so no worries. All I'll need from you if you agree is a temp-mail address you can keep alive long enough so I can send the links.

Paradise will definitely happen down the line. It's a shame the English release is coming so soon. Would have been fun to read alongside other anons, but I just don't think I'll be ready for it for at least another half a year. We'll see. As for Shitoku, interesting rec. It's a bit unfortunate because my interests are already niche but also limited 100% to BL. It's just what it is. But I'll think about it.

The fanbase for BL/otome is just not very big in general or does it have many people up to the task with maintaining game archives, especially with obscure doujin works that no one besides probably a handful know. It's just getting worse with more people leaving the hobby.
Non-otome/BL works has plenty of lost media as well but at least you got a better chance of finding someone who has the files eventually after some time. Some serious voodoo magic those anons can do, really.

No offense but like 90% of obscure doujin works are just not worth your time anyways. I used to torture myself looking for doujinge that probably not more than a 100 people have ever played, in and out of Japan, and I realized it was just a convoluted form of procrastination.

Like this doesn't even have a description, any tags, any character profiles or basically any useful information on what the game could be about. But in the past I would spend hours trying to find an archived link for games like this. Wish I knew earlier to not waste my time like this :(

Rip yuzu

The amount of forever lost games is probably endless. desu this is why talking about impressions is important. If no one talks about the games they played, those might as well not exist at all or be known as something worth time to invest. Kinda sad for some people's passion projects to be dismissed as such.

Yeah site is down. Better collect yuzu versions here too then. Most versions run otome games at least. Better get ryujinx and citra too because they are next.

Citra has the same devs as Yuzu so I'm surprised the site is even still up
Ryujinx is less popular and doesn't make $29k a month so I hope they'll just let that slide since it's the better emulator

The agent scripts are made for yuzu though. Being an EOP is suffering.

You can still get yuzu and install it from literally everywhere. If I were you though, I'd get switch games because the sites are in more danger.

Hello anons, I have looked all over the place for all the BL-Otome art books including the ones for Diabolik Lovers. I don’t know if there is a folder or anything with all the art book scans uploaded for all the books but they are very hard to find. I have also been looking for Music & drama CDs with all the scans but no luck. Any anons know where I can find scans of the contents mentioned?
