Maybe you should start with one, to know what to expect.
But in this case

Maybe you should try Inganock, it's great and translated if you don't feel like reading it, though Sona Nyl is more similar to Sharnoth

Ixrec has since said that he wants to translate Sharnoth before Forest, since he wants to work on it with someone who'll be moving somewhere next year.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6509720
No solid confirmation whether he'll do Sharnoth or Forest first after Alternative. It's just that one of Amaterasu editor is a Britfag who might be capable of researching all the British references and rewriting the tl to British-English for Sharnoth.

Anyway Alternative lacks military_expert as consultant since they got the ranks wrong in the partial patch. Forest needs folklore_expert, and Sharnoth needs worldwar2_expert.

[Anonymous No.]

Ahhh, the download is done, but god damn it why is the installation taking so long.

Does anyone has a link for the soundtrack? I've been itching to get the op and the other tracks in the trial since they first came out.

[calm No.]

since there's apparently a running theme in liarsoft's games, someone want to tell me what's the significance of the cat eye?

Also, this game monologues like there's no tomorrow. It's okay and while I understand what they're aiming for, I could do without reading and listening to repeated lines over and over. Hilariously short first boss, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6514123
The golden eye basically sees the truth.
Ati aged slower than everyone else because her eye saw the "real" time outside Inganock, and not the warped one inside it.
Mary could see the monsters which are usually invisibile and even see through Moran's camouflage equipment.
Xerxes could see the spirits asking for help. In Kadath actually, the Imperial family makes golden features their own pride/distinctive feature.
Dunno about Celenaria and Calberti, though, all I know is that he's a distant relative of Xerxes or something.
And yeah, that's how the writer rolls. Monologues, poetic/theatrical flair, monster-of-the-chapter type of battles that get resolved in one hit or two at most. If the trial is any indication, at least we have some sort of advancement instead of pure copypasta like Inganock and Sharnoth, so it's good.

Anyways, I quite liked what they did with the overlapping of different voiced lines and written dialogue. I was fearing a mere rip-off of Forest, but they actually found their own peculiar way of using the gimmick.

And here I thought she would just use an axe.

Regarding this, I love looking at liar soft H scenes.

[Anonymous No.]

Wondering if I should read it.
I loved Forest that clearly inspired the writer of WAB and liked Inganock but thought that both Sharnoth and Valcia were pretty mediocre.
The setting does seem pretty interesting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516644
>and liked Inganock but thought that both Sharnoth and Valcia

Really? If anything I thought that Inganock wasn't all that great in comparison to Sharnoth, but I suppose it boils down to one man's meat, and all that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516717
Sharnoth just felt more "meaningless" to me, they both suffer from the "monster of the week" kind of deal but at least I cared about most characters in Inganock.
In Sharnoth I only cared about Mary, the "monster of the week" storylines also felt weaker, the overall plot as well.
And Valcia is even worse in this area.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516739
I don't know, in Inganock I couldn't care much about, say, half the cast, which means Kerkan, kia, ati, Gii, Ruaha, transgender, plant girl and the little sheeps.
Sharnoth kind of developed the characters better in my opinion, since it gave it more time, and the themes about tomorrow were really strong.
But give Sona Nyl a chance if you liked Inganock, it does some pretty interesting things and makes me feel bad for its characters..

[Anonymous No.]

It all depends on personal preferences, since these games rely heavily on setting and characters to pull you in. If they don't, it just becomes a chore to read through.
I liked Sharnoth's characters overall a bit more than Inganock's, but hardly cared for Valusia's ones (well, except for a few sub-characters like Hild and Luna), and this reflects the order in which I'd put them. But I can see how people that like different characters would come to a totally different conclusion, and so on.

[Anonymous No.]

OK, so it REALLY has seven chapters.
Kinda sad, used to 10-11 in each, but I guess, given how it's going, adding more would be filler since the thing is closing up and most has been revealed.
Please don't fuck up the end, please.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516801
That's short.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516797
I'd rank Valusia at Sharnoth's level if it wasn't for what they did to the plot, so I agree.
It's the fucking definition of wasted potential.

[Anonymous No.]

Didn't Ixrec rate Valcia higher than Sharnoth?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516804
Since every chapter is like 2 hours, the usual.
Unlike the rest,m the chapters are pretty even so there are not really short ones (inganock had 3 shorter ones, smae for introductory chapters in Sharnoth and the second half ofn Valusia's)
But I expect chapter seven to be massive given how many scenes there are left (about eleven and the average chapter has like 5-6, so I expect something long)

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516820
Don't ask me why, because everyone would disagree.
Though the art is pretty and it's fully voiced... but not even then.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516806
Yeah, it felt like Sakurai wasn't really inspirated when she wrote it. Actually, now that you remind me, if I might ask...
Did the whole thing just flew over my head, or was it ever explained properly why the end of the Maze was empty? At the time I think I guessed it was something like to keep Adepts going there, fuel the fear illness, and so keep the people under control, was that it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516842
I suppose? I actually expected something big from that place, like REALLY big and important.
hat along several other unused/badly used plot points and how she completely failed at making any killed it for me.
And don't worry, Valusia's little plot tends to fly over pretty much everyone'snm head since it started to make little sense like two hours before the end, just about characterization flew out the window.
Sona Nyl actuallly has a chance to be her best WAB, it can be even funny, like chapter four and neko test. It's also lighter so there may be people that don't like that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516820
Yes, which is why I think he either went in with negative expectations and got suprised by the few positive aspects, or actually likes those kinds of characters and developments.
Personally, I couldn't stand a weak and passive female lead after Kia/Ati and Mary's inner strength, and the incest theme felt a bit overdone.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516866
>she completely failed at making any climax killed it for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6516869
With the passive part, I kinda disagree since I think it felt a bit refreshing to have a little princess that needs you to save for once, sometimes a damsel in distress is good. and she had a god tier wardrobe.
But I really agree with the incest part, it was really forced and could have been done in better ways than ''I really love Kashim'

After reading what Ruth had to say, it looks like my original speculation from the trial was more spot-on than I thought, (well except for the whole angel thing, so far, but I said that because of how Elisia found the carillion, while in the complete game she finds it sooner than in the trial).

[Anonymous No.]

>>6523848
No, aster is a flower, it's referring to this shade of violet, it doesn't really need a translation since it's mroe 'extend your hand, out to the aster sky', a bit poetic, relating the color of astair.
But your translation is pretty good, you just need to change purple for violet, since the official translation of shiei acording to LS is violet shadow, to fit it all together.

Give me perhaps a fortnight anon and I'll happily discuss everything with you.

please, let it be so.
Because not having anyone else is pretty frustrating.
Furthermore the ending sealed it as my favourite.
Even if Japan raped my childhood again with Jerusha.

Just read the ero scene between A and Lily ahah oh god did they try to make it as awkward and ridiculous as possible or what?

You are halfway thorugh the ending, yeah!
And yes, they did, I usually don't read them, but I couldn't stop laughing.
it's probably for the people who complained about the lack of a Mary H scene.

Also one thing when lily meets Edison don't skip the voices, they'll change around some of the words they say.

Cleared it. Obviously spoilers for the ending.

I admit I expected a whole lot more from Edison, the "but these things had meaning!" retort could be seen coming from miles away during the game, and they showed the gun before Lily used it against him, so you knew what was coming. It's solid, but I was hoping for something a bit more "surprising".
Though the part where they talk in unison to him was pretty good, and I almost teared up when all the hands appeared to grab Lily from the vortex.
Alan being able to clear the sky at the end and Elysia confessing to his memory was also moving.
All in all, it was quite awesome, but I think Sharnoth remains my favorite. Maybe it's just my nostalgia goggles speaking.
Who/what do you think Jaguarman was, by the way?

Finally someone else.
I don't know who the fuck jaguarman is, he describes himself as a ticktack man who is also alive in the ground, so it remains a mystery.
About the part
>the "but these things had meaning!" retort could be seen coming from miles
I liked it a lot because of Little Busters, since well, they are all dead and you think all that development goes to nhothing if they hadn't been saved, so I was proved wrong, reason it was so moving
Did you catch the part where he says
>even the moon is laughing at me
or something similar but instead of moon he says azatoth? maybe azatoth is hermes toth whatever and is actually the ctulthu deity?
I doubt it's nostalgia googels with Sharnoth, but I always liked Inganock better, but Sona Nyl was too awesome, Inganock lacked a more cohesive ploit and Sharnoth a more moving finmale, in my opinion. In Sona Nyl, the clear sky scene killed me after holding back the tears their whole conversation.
All in all I loved it

>they are all dead and you think all that development goes to nhothing if they hadn't been saved
Yes, I agree on that it's a really beautiful theme. It's just that, the whole game is so chock-full with "this is meaningless" and "everything is devoid of meaning" that I kinda knew the final reversal would be like that. Instead, Sharnoth's "I'm going to drag the fuck out of you down from that throne" just hit me full force. I guess it's just a matter on what tropes work with you, I guess.
And yes, the Azatoth thing took me completely by surprise, though it's not really explained what it's about. Now that you made me think about the assonance with Toth, it could be a link. Toth behaves a lot more different than the canonic Azatoth, but then again M is heavily implied to be or having been based on Nyarlathothep so...

I would have liked Sharnoth's end better if the obvious feeling of whatever Clarissa had for A had been said, even the ending, Saudade, means a deep state of nostalgia, it would have been better.
I know it was predictable, but that retard of Edison just wouldn't concede, it all had a meaning even if they were dead, I mean, the only time Sona nyl is said in the whole VN he instead says it like playground.
I REALLY wanted that message to get into his head, since he obviously couldn't understand such an easy concept.
Also, I've been thinking about Jaguarman and maybe he's the one fixing the newspapers, since the minigame only appears when he's alive in the underground, but really, I don't know who he is.

I've wikied the aztec god he makes a reference to, maybe he's a shaman or something that can "access" Sona-nyl even though he's alive? Tezcatlipoca is a deity honored during the feast of the dead amongst other things.
I don't get why he would be against Lily meeting Edison though. It's probable he's supposed to be just that, a mystery character without any information.
Maybe they'll reveal something in the next webnovel.

not the above anon, but when do the webnovels for WAB usually come out anyway?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6528326
I'll take that, I mean, the only info we have about Hermes Toth is taht is a god and likes to dress as the little red riding hood.
I think he was testing her resolution more than anything, he always appears before her when she's about to give in.
But that wouldn't make sense with not wanting to disappear, unless he didn't expect it and scarecrow killed him for real.

I don't know, I didn't pay attention to them until recently, though since they serve as sort of a bridge-gap I'd guess before the next game is announced.
So anywhere between six and ten months from now.
I've just finished Sharnoth ones and they do provide interesting snippets and setting background information. For example, Sona-nyl mass disappearance event was already foreshadowed in there, and the Steam Empire foreseeing something in 1914 (WWI?) and trying to make counter-preparations that will only probably make it worse.

Valusia was already foreshadowed in Inganock's so it isn't really strange.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6528395
really? I can't remember all that well, what was the foreshadowing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6528399
The last line of the webnovel and how the madman said goodbye, Valusia's tradition since Shin, Mytho and Alma destroyed the cover.

Ahh well, thanks anyway. Well, I have to finish the game first, but time to be prepared to stalk the official site in one or two months later for more WAB goodness.
