>>50594102dude, just give up, it's not funny
Thanks for the actual thread OP.
>>50594105This art looks so shit. They should remake it.>inb4 boomer rage
>>50594112I don't know why I'm replying earnestly to a dumb bait post, but honestly there are some CGs that are kind of rough. Overall, I think it looks pretty good though.
>>50594102Troll OP
>>50594139>>50594105baby tier japanese and that's a good thing
>>50594182It's harder than you think, I still need to hook it while being an experienced reader. I learned a lot though.
>>50594305It's mostly just simple dialogue with pretty basic narrative text when it does occur. Pretty much 101 level stuff. That's not a bad thing since it's pretty obviously meant to be a quick and easy read. I would have finished weeks ago if I regularly was playing it and not just doing a little bit here and there when I felt like it.
>file.jpg>It's a shit post
floodtroon hates the fact this thread exists

>>50594391Blue archive is all age sloppa
>>50594429Platonic archive as they say and such
>>50594112Remakes are great and will not pretend otherwise.
>>50594482Look how they massacred my girl.
>>50594305If you need to hook it then you're not an experienced reader.

Now that I've finally finished Shigatsu Youka, there's a few mysteries I'm not smart enough to solve (massive spoilers)>Who actually committed the Megasawa murders, if it wasn't Natsumi's parents?>Who stole the falsifacacao out of the package Sakura/Kotarou sent to Mifuyu? The writer says I should be able to solve this and gives a few hints, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out>So what the hell actually happened when Sakura died? Kotarou says that he thought he saw Erika pushing his wife off the cliff and that's why he cut off her head, but then Erika says she was trying to save Sakura, and Gotou mentions it's weird Kotarou would think his mother was trying to drop his wife when dropping and trying to pick up are two very different motions, plus then it's revealed to have been Eiichirou who cut off his wife's head, not Kotarou all along so maybe Kotarou wasn't even there and the whole story is bullshit and he was just stalling for time/distracting everyone? >Did Kotarou ever have sex with his dead mushroom wife in the cave next to the mummy?
>>50595384I thought this was a flop
>>50595194don't play it, go for the pc-98 version
anons doko?
>>50595691Fuck off, idiot.
>>50595736don't be such a zoomer and just go for the best version
>>50595483Doesn't seem to be the case.
>>50594096I'm about to play this: what should I expect?
SHE ISN'T PLAYING
>>50594096You spamming this vn is actually making me want to read it because this 紗絵 girl looks hot
>>50596349haha, sorry for spamming, the writer is just annoying me so muchif you liked yukino from oregairu and if you're fine with the autistic (genuine autist), puppy-energy protagonist (it's mentioned over and over again that the mc is like a small puppy), i can recommend the vn. i'd be disappointed if this was the best route though
Kinda want to start my first Mareni but not sure where to start. Any rec?
>>50596465He only has 3 games worth reading. Just pick one of those.
oh, i wonder why it took me so long to notice this tag. finally some bisexual accomodation
why does this VN have a correlation with WA2 fanbase?https://vndb.org/v481
>>50596465Just pick whichever has the most interesting premise to you.
I'm stuck on a sex scene again...
>>50597683ctrl button to the rescue
Muv luv is such a blessing for literal reading begginers like me, does anyone know more vns that can change text language with one button?
>>50597844I wouldn't rely on it since localizations are usually pretty bad.But most Eng releases of kirikiri games have the option. https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=033gjaN18022genNg01N18fwKiriKiri-&s=26w
>>50597856Thanks, not really relying on it t.bh its like having option to look up kanji on spot from voiced characters. or something like that, might be not ideal but some kind of exposure is surely better than nothing.
>>50597844Harukaze games (at least the steam releases) have a function that allows multiple language to be displayed at the same time. Hato's prose can be deceptively tricky to fully parse, so i wouldn't recommend them to beginners (They are full of the kind of comedy that gets ruined by looking up words every other sentence) but Maruko to Ginga Ryuu might be worth looking into.
>>50595384have they added sex to the game?
>>50595919Oyari won
>>50594096question, should I read the series in order or can I read whatever? my autism screams READ THEM IN ORDER OR YOU'LL MISS THINGS
>>50597882>Harukaze games (at least the steam releases) have a function that allows multiple language to be displayed at the same time.Not worth reading the steam versions of noratoto since they are censored with no way to restore the uncensored content fully. Also from what I've checked the TL quality is pretty poor.
>>50595919Those are the stats for the all ages section of DL site.Hardly any real competition if you take the 18 + releases out of the equation. Still, 10K sales is nice to have for a passion project but the costs should be way higher compared to other hit releases this year, even if he did all the art himself. Getting one of the Nier Automata guys to show up to do your soundtrack can't be cheap.
might as well rant about コブラミッションi actually think it's balanced pretty well, you can't beat the final boss unless you use EVERY single tool at your disposition, and the game world in itself is pretty coolbut the gameplay is fucking atrocious. it's literally unplayable without a 10x fastforward hotkey. and even then you have to spend hours on mindless farming. i started cheating half-way through and it was still a chore because of random encounters interrupting everything i did every 5 secondsafter this, the first dragon knight and little princess, i think i'm ready for any kusoge at this point. can't get any worse than this in the 90s
>>50596365>check vndb>all agesAaaannddd its over
>>50597934you can just read whatever but some order is recommended since its main appeal is the passage of time theme. the heroines of the first games are basically hag side characters by like game 8. for one of the side routes of the 9th game, you'll want to do tsubame from 2 since it's her daughter. you can skip 1 it's not that good. you can return to yue and minamo routes if you like 2 so much
>>50597891holy kot
>>50597844The best VN I've ever seen for learners is Love Destination, as it's the only VN with full furigana.WHY they thought an 18+ VN needs full furigana I'll never know. But it's a great starting point.
>>50598929Ohh furigana is also very helpful will defitnely check it out.
anybody read this? consensus on the remake?
Anyone feel like modern nukige are just bad for the most part? Part of what made me enjoy them so much back in the day was that they did a lot of fun or interesting stuff in addition to the porn. Stuff like Lune's pre-Saimin games, May-be Soft, Biman and even Lilith's stuff or going even further back to Silkys/Elf's stuff. I could almost guarantee I'd be in for something that's worth reading not just for the porn when playing one of these.The only companies still making somewhat interesting nukige are Clock Up/Waffle (and Dark One with Sakusei Byoutou if that counts). Which makes the vast majority of good stuff I've played in recent years dlsite doujin games.
>>50600058there are interesting manifestations you can make in nukige but not in other mediums, but the only one who seems capable enough and willing to write tons of h scenes for it is the biman author
>>50600058>they did a lot of fun or interesting stuffsuch as? By the way you used the word stuff 5 times
>>50600058didnt like old ones either
>>506000582024 and 2025 sucked for eroge too. like literally what even came out lol. but i'm hoping 2026 is better since it has a promising line up (teikan no eve bethel, ryusei WA sequel, anemoi, new crystalia game)
>>50600129>ryusei WA sequelExcited for another conclusive Kinugasa finale!
>>50600058I have never liked nukige
>>50600152Youjitsu is also starting to suck pretty bad.
lol
>>50600626kill yourself
>>50600634meant for >>50600626
>>50600058I'm going to be honest, RPG Maker games or other slop you can find on DLsite are what have been scratching that itch you are describing for the last few years, at least for me.
>>50600129And don't forget Avesta and Tsukihime!
>>50600970Right.
>>50601018>picShame that their new imoutoge is bottlenecked by Clover Memory's.
>>50601043At least they actually want to work on it instead of leaving it as an April Fool's joke. I was upset that day.
>>50601097Yeah from what I've seen on their ci-en it at least seems like the scenario writer and artist are working on it while the rest of the company are at work on Memory's.
>>50600129Im looking forward to those vn too. Alive medium.
