Man this route isn't clicking for me. I hope the other routes are better.
>>50832271I read this game has a threesome bad ending but this is really poorly written. How did vanilla boy go to shy kisser to crazy threesome with the other guy while the uke is mindbreaked into liking it. I'm used to bad endings where one characters go crazy and I find them interesting, but this feels like they skipped the whole development.
>>50832271>>50833852Man this romance felt rushed. Also this was the last choice of the game so I guess it ends after this.
>>50833852It's just for fanservice, Mebiusline also has a 3P bad ending where the character doing it gets a completely different personality in it than he does in the rest of the respective route. No need to overthink it.
>>50834467Eh I guess. I just like when bad endings explore the characters dark thoughts or whatever. They are kinda cool since you can do a lot of stuff you can't do in a normal narrative.
>>50834467>>50834556Also their previous VN had some amazing bad endings, if you can even call them that.
>>50834556>>Can't do in a normal narrative Saying that as if half of JP BL VNs LIs aren't canonical rapists lul. If writers want to add problematic stuff in a route, they will.
>>50834655>Saying that as if half of JP BL VNs LIs aren't canonical rapists lul. If writers want to add problematic stuff in a route, they will.Even dark endings with rape aren't just rape, they often lean into more other stuff or more creative bad stuff. Or even non sexual stuff like characters going crazy and killing shit.
>>50834655>lul>ProblematicTumblr or reddit?
>>50834655Do you even get that much rape in games nowdays? Usually there is one rapechad route and the rest are normalfags. Then again westerns call everything rape.
>>50834701Well case in point then, they're still making rape routes. Before Suito released I would've only been shocked about the seme that looks like a woman to be the non-con route.
>>50834799He's the minku? Even the oni seemed like it was consensual
>>50834804Read again, I said I would've only been shocked with him getting the non-con route, all the other 3 LIs could've been the game's rapist and I wouldn't have been that surprised.
>>50834896So he's the rapist or not? What does happen in it?
>>50832271Their latest two games are not doing it for me. I can get over the dog fucking but ntr crosses the line for me
>>50835705Idk the romance in tokyo murder but the story was dope ass for me. I love meta shit
anyone read any fun otome games recently? old or new is fine
>>50836042I've been going through my backlog from the last couple years of releases recently and Over Requiemz stood out the most.
>>50836042VariBari, it ranges from super funny to boring though...>>50836089Over Requiemz is what I planned to play next funnily enough, though I'm thinking of pushing it back to the winter months. Seems like the type of vn thats best read during then.
>>50836042I was planning on playing Over Requiemz next too, but was compelled to do Ken ga Kimi first because I found out it had some overlapping staff + similar route split structure (ken or kimi etc). It's been okay so far, doesn't have much going on yet but the interactions between the guys are fun.
>>50833852What's the reasoning for them doing this to MC when apparently the pink haired guy didn't even rape him in his other bad end ?
>>50837199They skip all the development so fuck if I know. I was surprised the first bad ending with pink hair wasn't even rape. Unhealthy yeah, but surprisingly consensual. They obvious skip ahead but I can see how the relationship developed going by the narration, especially Mahoro mentions the other one has been spoiling him if anything. Here they just skip and apparently the MC has been locked into a shed and used for sex? But he's secretly enjoying it? Also the way he talks about Hizumi makes it sound like he's not bad. Hizumi goes "I love him so of course I'll have sex with him" even though in his route he's all respectful and shit about confessing.The mc even mentioned the other one was normal during sex before he found out Hizumi fucked him one day alone which caused him to become a sadist? It genuinely felt like they copy pasted a bad ending from another route where everyone goes insane or whatever.
>>50837199>>50838009Oh if you want to know the actual reason Hizumi confesses to Mahoro but Mahoro runs away to think about his feelings. Pink hair finds out they want to "become a family" so he goes for Mahoro too because he's angry at Hizumi? And then it skips to that months later, do not collect 200$
Apparently a whole Twitter drama was created by a moron openly bragging about pirating Lamento.
>>50843134Koreans and Japanese are the retards in that case though lol. For once, I agree with retarded eops, because imagine wishing death on and cyberbullying a thirdie eop for pirating a 20yo BL game that they were never going to pay for anyway, and whose company doesn't give a flying fuck about fujos anyway and is even going gacha soon. They need that energy and attitude whenever their uggo moid incel idols groom a minor or drug and rape a woman lol. That's why I cannot take koreans and japanese seriously like ever.
>>50843134Both sides are retarded but I'm tired of people trying to defend the Japanese/other Asians. They are just as mentally ill if not more so in many other cases. Their sheep-like consumerism mentality towards everything and "pride" for supporting official content is beyond just low IQ, it's a terminal disease.
Bob cut hair shota...
Feel like this route should just have been a threesome route for real, at least it would have been a bit novel. Half of the bad endings are this guy fucking mahoro anyway.
>>50847756Jesus another bad ending for this dude. Just write a proper route for him my buddy
>>50838021I forgot, did they even mention something about protagonist's demon buddy in this bad ending ? I wonder how they write rape scenes for a protagonist who has a bodyguard with magical powers who shows up on command whenever he's in danger.
>>50849197Nope. Even in the other bad enidng is kinda forgotten.
Honest this ending feels almost ooc to me. I get it's a normal ending but honest I could have done without it.
>>50850187Who got the second non-con bad end ?
>>50853693I dunno. The other bad ending isn't noncon actually. Even the threesome one has some weird dubcon hints because it skips so much it's honestly hard to make the mechanics of how anything started.
The demon who lives with the mc doesn't get a sex scene? Odd
>>50853662Honestly the climax of this route felt more interesting than the good ending. At least it touched a bit of the lore and whatnot. The other route felt like the main purpose was to avoid the bad choices so you don't get to fuck some other guy. Though the relationship here is weirdly written, it felt like they had sex more than because they needed to than they had to (if that make senses).I hope the other route touch more of the magical stuff, this could have been a demon slayer spin off.
>>50856699First half was really moe with the seme confessing all that shit even without realizing yet he loves him. They just needed to add more romantic moments (they haven't even kissed in this path) and make MC give up the soldier career too so they can live their couple lives as regular people and then I would've liked this route. But I think they left it underbaked purposefully cause they were afraid it may overshadow the canonical good ending (tho if this path only existed to add the plot bits then they should've just combined with his good end anyway).
Jast just announced a TL for Paradise Kiwame.
The only reason JAST is holding back on licensing Shingakkou is because the license is too expensive and they don't think they can make back the money. But why can't they do crowdfunding though?
>>50857674the way Omerta goes balls to the wall in the first minute with the shota rape attempt makes it truly vintage BL
>>50856956>(tho if this path only existed to add the plot bits then they should've just combined with his good end anyway).This reminds methe demon and the ohter dude imply that their world is fucked or heading toward some kind of destruction? This not better be a reveal where every route but the true one is secretly a bad ending.
>>50857814>Shota rapeNice>Attemptmeh
>>50857814>>50858567>AttempAttempt? JJ has been raping Azusa since he was 15 and the game opens with JJ raping him. We also get rape scene flashbacks from JJ as a shota getting raped by the guerilla guy who is a LI in the fd. And Azusa gets raped by npcs and 2 LIs (3 but he's not shown with that LI in cg).The fd opens with NPCs gang raping JJ in prison. Karinfags devs had no chill.
>>50859594But we don't see such stuff in "normal" narratives in BL apparently, alright ...
Happy birthday to my favorite used goods
>>50859594Is there on screen shota rape?
>I loved this VN but I didn't think the BL/BL scenes were that goodWhy so many BL fans have this pick me opinion? I've seen it posted about multiple works.
>same retarded argument to stir shitThis place is so dead, the same obese landwhales come here to shitpost about the same thing. Get a hobby.
>>50863841Are you one of those people who posted that?
>any opinion different from mine is a pick meSome people simply prefer overt romance or romance focused storylines to really feel like they saw the "Love" part of Boy's Love. A plot focused BL VN might not have those overtly romantic interactions though, but some people might still see the romance in that vs others who don't. All a matter of preference and standards for what people find romantic.
>>50864144>Read BL VN>I wish I didn't have the BLI see.
>>50863711lol you hit a sore spot with this post. I've def seen it many times. The other opinion I often see it's like "Unlike all other BL stories I read in this one the love story really got me". Fucking Otome doesn't get as many annoying posts.
>>50864770Also to further add the most I've seen this post is Hashihime of all games. "It could have done without the BL". Which is batshit idiotic if you know Hashihime plot
>>50863711Maybe the BL scenes were just shit. You're the type to slurp up any garbage faggotry thrown in front of you.
>>50865579there is no such a thing as a bl scene, if you're reading a BL vn all the BL is the plot.
>>50865579lol I've seen it used for shit like where the romance starts early in the novel and the rest of the route is about it. Fucking pick me
>>50864144Don't bother. They're only here to shit on a corpse. It's pathetic.
>>50866005Who is this "they"
>>50866004Then the BL was simply shit kek. Shitslurper.
>>50866363Oh the pickme has an opinon.
Do any of you have a link of olympia soiree catharsis in JP ?I only found gatekept link on anime sharing or chinese site
>>50867278can't you just find it on any nintendo switch rom/nsp/xci site
Any VA you mute? For me it's Umehara
>>50867278Just buy it. Can't you people do anything except shitpost and beg?
>>50869615Takuya Eguchi
>>50834152I'm at the last choice in his route and it didn't feel that rushed to me desu, their feelings switch seemed pretty gradual throughout the entire route. Maybe they could've had more moments during the seme's moe crush before the confession <. Seems believable enough that the family oriented seme with hero complex would fall hard for the weak orphan uke once he's gotten over his issues with him. Tho the route's plot did feel pretty tacked on and like they wanted to get it out of the way as quickly as possible. They didn't even bother to give the main antagonist of the soldier's route a sprite or a name.
>>50869615Ishikaito
I hate BL that end as soon as the romance begins. It always felt lazy to me
>>50874779I have yet to play any takuyo game...
>love interest is actively fucking other women during the route>subplot where another LI gets spiritually raped by a female side characterI don’t like it.
Are there any BL games with a afab trans MC? I played Date with death where you can pick your pronouns, genitals and whether top/bottom and I really liked being included the same way I am in irl so I've been searching the market for anything similar..
>>50877135Bewitching Sinners alsp gives genitals and pronouns choice, but the sex positions are fixed per LI (3 top and 1 bottoms iirc). You also have to install a separate DLC in order to get the sex scenes as they were added post game's release.
From the first 3 ranked BL VNs on vndb who deserve the title of the best one ?
>>50877783Definitely not ooe, it's pure recency bias and most of the people there played mtlslop
>>50876651Which kusoge? I feel like reading some trash.
>>50877783I hate the first two so Slow Damage
>>50877135Kill yourself
>>50877783I don't like Slow Damage so the other two
>>50877783I don't like any of them so none.
>>50877783All shit, none
>>50877783Shingakkou.
Anyone here play ERA games? Is there anything in English...
>>50881766There was Adventure with tentacles that anon translated, it was pretty fun though I haven't checked updates in a while.
>>50880318This. Unless it has scat, it's shit
>>50882974Link please
How is the language difficulty of Shingakkou and Bara no Ki?If I remember correctly, an anon was translating the latter

>>50889725I love megane sluts
Am i the only one that dislikes both usuba kagerou and yuuya's art styles?In kagerou's case it's because of the excessive amount of eyeliner her male characters have and as for yuuya, it's because of the pointy chins and how it looks like she struggles to draw different faces (handsome laundering men and 9rip's mc come to mind).
Which VNs do y'all think have the best CGs quality ?
I finally got a switch what games should I play, I know japanese but I want to check what's translated first. Should I just check Amazon for ratings and reviews on what's best?
>>50860309Who, Ema? Canonically worst boy used goods
>I know Japanese>I want translationsJust say you want translations that's it, EOP.
>>50897802The real reason is that English releases are cheaper for me at the moment and I don't want to wait 2 months for an used physical copy from Japan to arrive.
>>50897798Cant be worst than Kaname who probably has an std>>50897805Get them digitally I guess, jp estore has sales often so its dirt cheap. Anyway my rec is even if tempest
>>50895067>excessive amount of eyeliner her male charactersIt's a stylistic choice and it gives her characters this goth vibe which is why I like it.
>>50897927>Iori fan >Hates KanameSasooga
>>50898828I dont hate Kaname, he's just the token slut. I brought him up since the topic was used goods anyway.Worst boy was Fuuto
Bestboy masaomi.>>50899250Worst boy actually. Liking basuke isn't a personality trait.
>>50895067I hate Yuuya's style too much to even compare to anyone else. She gets put on so many games despite barely knowing how to make decent designs, though I'll say her least offensive work was probably 9RIP. There are some decent boys there. Kagerou can look weird occasionally but she's overall much more consistent and I simply enjoy her style.
>>50899257He was boring as FUCK I cant believe he ended up winning
Finally some jealousy in this route.
