>>50990111Kinda boring so far. I'm already in Towa's route so I'll at least finish that but if I'm not impressed I'll just read Nagi and Hagumi's and call it a wrap.
>>50990111I need to know if Nagi is as 姉-coded as I'm hoping or if I'm just getting my hopes up. I'm mostly interested in her.
>>50992178She's not really 姉-coded at all.
>>50992213Really? That's a shame.

So Kana is just going to keep suffering until the curses run out? Or was the air route to somehow symbolize the end of that?what the fuck key
>>50993038holy ugly art
>>50992797depends
>>50992797The main heroine is a shit and shits up the other routes if you pick the other girls. Theres an enforced play order that requires you to do her route first as well but in the HD remaster it removes that so you can pick whichever.
>>50993042why do you think that no one but key hired Itaru?
>>50993076Cute artstyle
Recently read 流る星 -a wish star-As only a 4-ish hour game, it's short and sweet. I mostly played for the nee-chan support character. Pretty cute, it feels reminiscent of oldschool magical 'sudden girlfriend appearance' short series. The afterstory is basically there to fit all of the porn in.The even shorter fandisc supplies additional fluffy scenarios and porn, as expected, but I mostly skimmed it to unlock the bonus chapter where the nee-chan porn is.Nothing groundbreaking, but overall a cute and quick read.
>>50993755cute blind anon
>>509930767 years ago I would say it's ugly, but nowadays i appreciate unique artstyles much more so it's fine. For visual novels expresiveness is more important than conventional beauty too imo
art can't be ugly
>>50994825art can be ugly, the thing is, it's ok for it to be ugly :)
>>50994855no it literally can't be ugly. you can like it or not, but beauty/ugliness isn't an inherent quality of art
>>50993918Luna-sama?!
>>50993076>ItaruNobody really want her these day, the few outsource work she had done sucked
>>50989536Has anyone read asairo? Does it get better? I'm enjoying it but I feel like I'm not quite at the "exciting" part yet, and I feel like there is one coming up, but I just wanted some reassurance.I'm probably 5 hours in right now? And VNDB says it's on 30 hours long, so 1/6 of the way through I expected at least one climax or big development.
>>50989720>Shigatsu YoukaWas this a game made to look retro? It says it was published in 2016 but looks like this.
>>50989720It looks like there's a version with anime girl feet coming up?
>>50989720Also it's so surprising that a 10 year old game is random newly in the top 10 or at least i don't remember it. hasn't the vndb rankings changed a lot lately? i even remember some monster girls rpg game at #1 recently
>>50989789how is anyone supposed to know the name of this game from the photo?>>50989891oh you guys discuss english games too? based
>>50993038>So Kana is just going to keep suffering until the curses run out?No, the curse is supposed to make Misuzu miserable her whole life but she breaks it by finding her own happiness. Then Yukito bring that happiness (probably in the form of a feather like the ones in other routes) to Kanna in the sky now that he has his own wings. Misuzu and Yukito don't get a perfect happy ending for themselves but they free every generations after from the curse.>>50995864Keep reading, you are still in the introduction part.

>>50996285>egs scores completely lose their relevanceThat was back when SakuMoyu came out.
I love Yanagi Hitomi, but I feel like she's horribly miscast as Towa in Relirium. She's much more suited for cheerful roles like Hiyori and Kurumi.I'm really liking Itou Shizuka as Nagi though, reminds me a lot of Hime from Tenshin Ranman.
>>50996386She's got better range than most roles require from her (best example is kakehana's Nadeshiko, but only rarely,) but I mostly agree. When Towa gets flustered, all I can hear is Hiyori.

>>50996535
>>50996204Insane it managed to stay at 90 with all the butthurt people voting lower than they normally would just because they are mad it's a better eroge than their favorite kamige. It was that good huh

You goys have it too easy with Shinku.I remember downloading A-S uploads from DepositFiles or WUpload or FileServe or some shit like that with 8 parts, 150kb/s limits and 2 hours wait between downloads.

>>50998372Yes.
>>50998374Ok thanks.
>>50996281>>50995986It does seem to be a bit overhyped as I got to the "nani? What's going on" moment and kept going a bit and the writing of the drama and the usage of the "big picture concept" doesn't seem interesting so far. I must be at least 10 hours (25-30%) done by now. Might drop soon.
>>50998402consider yourself filtered
>>50998408I'm not replying to you in particular or anything but for some reason the title of the VN and also the name of the author always had a bit of a mystical, special feeling to them, and I've been drawn to both for years, and now that I'm finally trying it, it's surprisingly unique. But I've been dropping a lot of fiction lately, I usually just try to dip my toes into a medium to get a rough idea, don't take it too seriously
>>50998408What are some of your favorite aspects of it however, if I may ask?
>>50998431The atmosphere and level of autism in the normal conversations honestly were enough to get me hooked fairly quickly. Beyond that, there are a lot of individual parts of the second chapter were very memorable and I have fond memories of almost not finishing a paper I had due because I lost track of time going from the end of the second chapter to the end of the game.I'll admit that the pacing and autism can be a lot if the average scene that doesn't directly focus on plot stuff doesn't speak to you though. I'm pretty sure the game bores most people out of their minds.
>>50998408consider yourself low iq
>>50998215 Wait what's shinku? Can you elaborate more? Is there more cool website?
i can't we have better piracy options than eopiggies lmao
>>50998752No. It was already discussed few posts above. You're on your own.
any good long vns with average jp difficulty that DON'T rely on cinematic bullshit, aka where the pacing doesn't really matter? i was thinking shigatsu youka
>>50998752shin n ku dot com
>>50998440>I'm pretty sure the game bores most people out of their minds.thanks for the admission
>>50998440The autism was quite nice yeah. I wouldn't say the atmosphere was mindblowing, a VN with great atmosphere for me was WA2, e.g. the ambient sound in there was so good.I personally didn't find the plot stuff so far (just got to where hiyo manages to talk back to the younger twin for once) to be interesting. (I read a bit more - Like picrel for example I just stared and went "...". I'm all for "HOW DARE YOU....!" moments but the writing or the character work is a bit hard to take seriously and I'm usually the one on the side that's saying "learn to suspension of disbelief") I'm not trying to argue with you or badmouth the work, just sharing my thoughts unbiddenly.>>50999191Is this kind of attitude common in this general? There seems to be a lot of people who have bee hurt so they just try to hurt others and then everyone gets defensive too, it's the worst of both worlds, everyone's on the attack as well
>>50998440holy shit kek for this specific instance, i take it back, the next couple of clicks took me to something epic
>>50998440Yeah, it's really kino, but like the rest of the more dramatic moments I can't help but feel like it's "off", like the individual puzzle pieces are cool but they don't click together too well. I mean, we suddenly are getting chuunige writing out of nowhere (I'm joking a bit) but still.
That was unexpected

Finished Suisen route in Totsuraba and liked it. I just started Katan route though and as someone who likes slowburn romantic development I got whiplash as soon as I picked the choice for getting onto Katan's route. Sure Katan already had an obvious crush so that part's fine, but Enju's thought process felt too sudden. I really hope it doesn't keep up this pace and this instant focus on couples.
>>51005678Seriously considering swapping to Sophia... Or maybe it's just too soon after Sui and I should take a break with another game for a bit.
>>51005678it didn't really feel fast at all, he's been watching dramas and tv shows with her in her room daily and it isn't particularly hard to hit it off as teenagers
>>51005739>he's been watching dramas and tv shows with her in her room dailyThis getting mentioned felt sudden too, because in common route it felt like he only visited her apartment like once or twice to exchange dinners.It mainly feels sudden that for the common route branching choice the vague love related choice somehow has him instantly focused on romance with Katan, despite his "crush" being on Sakura.
>>51005830Yeah they could have at least mentioned it happening.MC's motivations are all over the place, weakest part of the game imo - makes no sense for him to suddenly realize things in Sui's route either when he already knew his family is bonkers.
When you hear "mad scientist" you think of him, don't you?
>>51006450so... cool...
>>51006304The game is focused on different timelines and possibilities which is the mc motivation and behavior changes on a route basis

>>51006450I think of Doc BrownSuperior time traveler really; made time machine from scratch with nothing but a dog, i don't think Marty helped much since he didn't know about it at all. Come to think of it he also did Okabe's whole thing of tricking the past long before Okabe did.Smarter about time travel too, though now I'm wondering if a teenage Doc Brown would have been much less reserved about altering the timeline. Probably not.i should finish the back to the future telltale game. It wasn't bad, at least the little of it I had played long ago.

>>51005702Swapping to Sophia route instead of taking a break was the right move.

The unlockable menu backgrounds are a nice touch too. Sui one is super cute.

I'm studying Japanese so I can play video games and read visual novels with their original scripts. I see people online recommend two different methods of language practice. One is to read text slowly, translating words you don't know, and making them into flashcards for later use. The other method is to maximize input by reading a large quantity of words, without worrying if you understand each one or not. There's some anons here that learned Japanese at some point, right? What would you recommend?
>>51010086Definitely the first method. How is one even supposed to read Japanese without learning the words? Not everything is written in Kana. It's unlike other languages, where you can at least read the word, even if you don't understand its meaning.
>>51010086I started off reading text slowly, looking up basically every word I didn't know, and adding them to my custom Anki deck. Encountering the same words you've studied and being able to recognize them is rewarding. Also you want to have studied basic grammar already of course.Now that I've been reading in JP for years, if I encounter an unfamiliar world but get the gist of it through context, then I just take a screenshot and continue reading. I might choose to go back to the screenshots later to add to my deck. If the unfamiliar word hinders my understanding of what's going on though, then I'll stop and look it up.
>>51010086>What would you recommend?grind anki up to x, then do 50/50
>>51010019Looks like you're rightbut why is it a chinksite? they care for jap media more than I'd think
>>51010086I'm of the opinion that when you're starting out, you should be spending 100% of your prime studying time on reading VNs. Flashcards can be helpful, especially if you put something like Anki on your phone and do reps while on the toilet/waiting for the bus/etc. etc.But your dedicated study time each day should be dedicated purely to reading. Nothing will make you better at reading Japanese text than reading Japanese text. Everything else is just extra. I wouldn't even stop to make a flash card; a standard Anki deck should be almost as good as one you make yourself.The second method you mention, where you just read and don't necessarily look up every single word, is completely fine, but to be able to do it at all, you already need to be very literate in Japanese. By the point you're even able to consider it, you'll have been reading for a very long time, and you can compare it to the normal method (looking up every unknown word in an electronic dictionary) for yourself and see if you like it better. I used a mixture of both and enjoyed great success with both methods.

I'm kinda looking forward to Nemophilia, but I hope the heroine's voice grows on me. The samples aren't what I was expecting.
I finished Nandomeka recently and that may have been the first time I felt like an eroge suffered from the ero. Some of the scenes were plenty hot, and the ones at the heroine's house were fine, but some other ones were downright retarded like the snake one and kinda took me out of it when I was otherwise actually pretty invested in the mystery storyline. Also those tits were grotesque.
>>51014135Sounds like a you problem. I thought it was fine and also everyone overblows that scene, it's really not anything crazy I just have to assume everyone who makes a big deal out of it has never read anything but 100% vanilla in their life.
>>51014135h ctrlers win again
>>51014140When a large aspect of the game's story (which was written with the intent to be taken seriously and invested in) involves questions of what magic is and isn't possible within the setting, that scene just felt like a retarded departure.
>>51014171That scene literally answers some of that question though?
>>51014174What I mean is that it just felt as if there were more limits and sense to the magic until then.
>>51014182To me I got the feeling that it was quite powerful but the stronger the magic the more dangerous/"resources" were required. I think it might have even been stated in the text.

>>51014242I don't read things at release, Anon. It's been on my backlog for months while I played other games.
muv luv resonative at xbox game showcase today anikis
>>51014135Meanwhile despite me liking purplesoft games some anon ruined that game for me after he said the heroine looks like hotaru in hog mode so now i can't unsee it :(
>>51014591She's still cute when she stays covered up at least.
>>51014135The snake scene came out of nowhere and feels a bit odd with what's otherwise a very vanilla game, but I for one love her tits.
>>51014653Unironically too big. She might even be bigger than the milkfactory heroines
>>51014676She's 109 cm, so slightly below most milk factory heroines.Admittedly the actual sizes in cm a heroine has are meaningless, I'm sure somebody could do an actual analysis of the drawing to figure it out based on relative proportions.
>>51014678>milk factoryyou mean shit factory?
>>51014678If milk factory is really smart they'd have a sister brand specializing in 貧乳 already.
Who are your top 5 seiyuu, anons? active or not.
>>51014676Nah not MF tier but she's definitely bigger than their SQUEEZ era heroines
>>51015286they all star in manosaba
>>51015301It's funny that the SQUEEZ heroines sizes are basically modest compared to insane inflation we see today in an average nukige.

>the JP account that retweets tons of good eroge content is posting lots of AI slop nowIf only you could mute accounts but not their RTs.
>>51015172no, kami factory
>>51015318I'm reminded of Niko Tinbergen's experiments with butterflies, where he showed that male grayling butterflies were more attracted to drawings of female graylings the larger they were, even as the sizes got comically, unrealistically large.
>>51015318Porn addiction, unironically, the same reason why people start with small drugs like marijuana or ecstasy, and when they get bored but want more they transition to cocaine and heroine, same principle here.

Give it to me straight brosAre fumbling through visual novels truly the way to understanding Japanese?
>>51016807rpgm games are better
>>51016807Just make sure you look everything up to try and understand it. Don't whitenoise shit
>>51016807worked for me
>>51016807the only way to learn any language is to read a lot in it
>>51016820>t. hooktroon
>>51016828Feel free to spend 3 years as a beginner if you want. It's not wasting my time lmao
>>51016807I think it's good as a learner to try lots of different things and experience the language in lots of varied ways.But out of all the many methods I tried, I found voiced visual novels to be the most efficient by far, and if you want to learn Japanese as fast and easily as possible, I'd recommend spending a lot of time reading them, trying to understand each line as best as you can.
>>51016807If you want to get better at reading Japanese, you gotta practice by reading lots of Japanese.VNs give you large amounts of pretty much uninterrupted sentences to read, with lots of the sentences voiced to read alongside.
Finished Sophia route in TotsuRaba.I liked it more than I expected, still stayed entertaining and I wasn't expecting it to dive into other parts of the story as much as it did. Although it had a pretty underwhelming ending. Maybe I set my expectations too high because of how satisfied I was with Suisen ending.Reading Katan route and holy fuck the pacing of this romance is still giving me fucking whiplash, especially after Sophia route. The bodyswap arc was a lot of fun at least. I'll look forward to the parts of Katan's route that aren't romance.
>>51017193To clarify I'm not complaining about the pace of the romance in Sophia route, that was fine. It just makes Katan's feel even more sudden in comparison.
>>51017274>>51017193You can tell that they wanted to get the romance done ASAP in Katan's route so they could get to the actual plot.

>>51017193>>51017274Katan's route is all the better for it imo, Sophia dragged with no real purpose
>>51017842I wish they did more with the subliminal messaging thing with Arianna. It's kind of a waste to resolve it a single chapter.
The teacher was overpowered all along
>>51018178Yeah, she could have been given more screen time
>>51018165I actually appreciated the slow buildup in Sophia's route. MC still interacts with and appreciates the other characters he cares about. It also depicts him being a good big brother for example when he says his little sister will still always be a priority, and Sophia understands since after all she has younger siblings too.Meanwhile MC walks into Katan route already ready to fall for her, and when he declares her to be the one person he'd do anything to protect it felt strange for him as a character. Or supposedly how bad of a path he would've taken if he hadn't met Katan.For a route that has such solid plot, it stands out even more that the MC and heroine of the route are handled so poorly in it.
>>51018325I think it worked better than him glazing Sophia 24/7. Katan came off as genuinely warm and had that lifechanging aura
>>51018351Maybe I'm just biased because that "timeskip" really killed my investment.
>>51018408The timeskip did the opposite for me I immediately locked in
>>51018351kill yourself zoomer
>>51018444why are you so mean?
>>51018421Spending thousands of years away was a bit much, to come back minimally changed and still remembering the cast imo. Not to mention returning with a press-to-win button.
>>51018506They were only conscious for about a hundred of those years, they spent the vast majority of the time inside of the universe transmuted into platinum
I forget, at the end of Katan's route did they mention what state Sakura is left in after having her heart stolen? Since in the other route she falls into a coma until it's returned because her b.e.g. puts too much strain on her without it.
>>51018444What I meant to say was that Katan was such a warm character that interacting with her changing MC's life and outlook was somewhat believable.And Sophia just had the constant "wow she's so ojou so amazing wow".>>51018325its a shame Sophia's siblings weren't used at all and Mio didn't get much screentime either despite being so important/everyone got offscreened as in other routes despite this one being about friendship
>>51018532No, after Enju swaps out her heart, she's never seen or mentioned again for the remainder of the route
>>51018532Presumably the same thing as in the true route happens

CUFFS needs to get Gayarou to draw for more new games
>>51019515seigiranman had some pretty good h-scenes, pic related's in particular.
>>51019515This please. Possibly my favorite eroge artist ever.
>>51019528Did he do much art for that game? Glancing at the character list, only Koume's design looks like his work.
>>51018811My macho pride would never let me live like that
I love power ups in the middle of fights
I hope his Master will have h scenes in the sequel
I thought that χ would be the protagonist considering there was no voice acting in that part of story

The final villain of jewel heart academia sucks Asterius/Pallas would have been better final villains.
Diamond Andromeda
It was a pretty good vn although the final villain left me disappointed.I will definitely try their next vn https://vndb.org/v61373
>>51020200Yeah, it didnt need the final villain.Try the Jeweha sequel instead.The game you linked is from their moege "series".
>>51020219Their new game might through a curveball considering I also expected the jewelha to be a moege with some in a magic academy
>>51020219If they really wanted a final boss then they should picked pallas or asterius instead
>>51019515Speaking of CUFFS when is HULOTTE's next game? It has been years.
>>51020300Will they even hire the artist again after the shit they pulled?
>>569987551>inb4 same translator
>>51020320Try again newbub.
>>51020222Clearly not. Curveballs are the ones written by Fuyuakane Tom.If you dont want to read Jeweha sequel right away, read a different game of his.

Why does manosaba have so much furigana?I'm not complaining, it's helping me, but it's kinda weird.
>>50995880>how is anyone supposed to know the name of this game from the photo?Use your brain. Only one CLOCKUP game released recently enough for it to make sense to get a ver1.02 now.
>>51021262Same but at the JustyxNasty mention.
>>51022244The game is for teen girls and zoomers/alphies aren't known for being good at reading
>>51022708I've seen 18+ eroge with h-scenes with full furigana. You never know.
>>51018811another yuzuge rim slut?
Where do you guys download raw vns?
How do I find the games with breast expansion that sticks around beyond the H-scene?
>>51025075There aren't many. https://vndb.org/v60664 is a recent one with breast expansion that sticks.
>>51025095Yeah. I even knew which vn you linked before clicking it's so rare.

Does anyone know where I might find the characters' full sprites for https://vndb.org/v27057 ? Exhentai only has cropped ones.
>>51030799Perhaps there are only cropped sprites.
>>51010329I'm more impressed by its server's generosity given that it's not torrent based. can download gigabytes directly, at practically full throttle
>>51010329If not for chinks literally half of the existing eroge were lost media long ago, they did way more to keep this medium alive than the entirety of japland
