Previous thread: >>50989536

This thread is for the discussion of Japanese visual novels read untranslated in Japanese.

What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished?

How does totsuraba compare to other Crystalia games? I enjoyed it but it wouldn't hurt if it was 2x longer
>>
>>51031290
this is my main complaint for that game, it needed to be not 2x but 3x longer to be able to fully cover the scale of the story
>>
posting this so i to listen to it
>>
>>51031317
I don't think it should've been that long, but I would have liked more on-screen fights at least.
>>
>>51031318
pretty good
>>
>>51031290
I think it's one of their best VNs, if not their best.
However, the big problem with Totsuraba is, as you pointed out, that it gets a big too big for its budget and so there's a lot of stuff skimmed over or that happens way too fast, especially in the true route.
Their other VNs don't really have this problem, they either don't have a true route or the true route is properly scaled so that it fits in the VN and they don't have to go "and then MC solved six problems offscreen"

Heard Monkeys!¡ come up a lot recently, is it any good? Is it similar to sumaga?
>>
>>51032240
Yes, no.
It's an ensemble game but with more of a focus on wacky madcap comedy.
>>
>>51032243
I can get down with that. It's only 20 hours too which is blissfully short for a VN.
>>
>>51032246
The vndb time is heavily misleading, it's not that short.

It's about half the length of steins gate if the jiten character counts are accurate.

Where did you hear that? it wasn't even mentioned last thread.
>>
>>51032356
NTA but it recently came onto my radar too after mentions of it getting licensed. I wasn't interested at first, but I don't read enough comedy so I might check it out eventually.
>following license news
Yes I still follow licensing news, it's fun to hear about what's going on since I'm passionate about VNs.

I'd follow license news more if it could bring brands back to life and by the looks of it that's not gonna happen.

I like to think it helps at least a little bit in a general sense. After all, with how very niche the industry is, every little bit can help. And even if it's mostly outliers that find big success, maybe that can bring some more eyes to smaller releases too.
>>
>>51033307
In case of monkeys and Harukaze i dont think it will help. Consult last thread. Hato is making doujin shit with AI art. They also already have noratoto & 2 licensed and that didn't get noratoto 3 out of the limbo. An acquisition from the Chinese would help them more than licensing shit to the undeserving west.

jiten says 348,560. so 20 hours is accurate if you read 17.5k/hour. which is a reasonable pace even for a game with lots of voices.
voice protagonist does make it harder.
if you can't read that fast you probably constantly bitch about pacing and drop things
>>
>>51034120
Any good ways of finding out your reading speed besides judging from full playtime of a specific game? I skip h-scenes if they aren't interesting so this would throw off the timing.
>>
>>51034261
judge from an hour or two of a specific game. just need to hookcuck for it
>>
>>51034261
voice acted lines are about 14k
that's why it's the default speed for jiten

The reason I couldn't figure out how to get on her route is because you have to choose to not cum in her first h-scene and then cum inside in her second and any other variation locks you out.
VNs have trained me for years to think those choices don't matter.

Finished TotsuRaba.
Man that final route was such a great way to end the game. Certainly a little rushed, but it just left me so satisfied and felt like a nice way to wrap things up. Overall loved the game, managed to stay entertaining pretty much throughout.
My only real complaint is Katan's route. It's surprisingly ambitious and plot solid, I can easily see how it can be someone's favorite route. Unfortunately the development of MC and Katan's romance which serves as the foundation is done so horrendously that it ruined the route and the heroine for me. Just feels like that one bit could've been written way better.
But other than that, very solid and fun game. CRYSTALiA will surely release a FD in the future, which I'll be looking forward to for revisiting the cast.

It has too many issues to be VNOTY..though the bar isn't exactly high given the lack of competition nowadays. If aienkien could be reined back on his femdom fetish, crystalia stuck to making good MC's and not some lame self insert blob that get's undeserved glaze by the cast, more run time to flesh out the plot and especially the characters, better H-scenes that weren't all the authors fetish on display and remove the shit manzai gag placements I could see it being a very strong contender for top 50.

Awkward hermit genius MC getting femdommed by each heroine was fitting and worked in my opinion. I can't imagine him just taking the lead like normal given his regular behavior. The scene where he's about to fuck his sister and gets so excited "wow, I've never seen it so hard before! Here, you touch it too!" was great.
His personality giving each girl a chance to be teasing and bullying in their own way in regular interactions was cute and good too.

i was looking forward to prison ship but the pacing is just completely fucked, its too fast because most of the crew "dies" pretty much instantly, but also way too slow since its way more sex scene focused than plot focused, like there are 3 scenes right after each other right at the start, and its not like they are short either
the kansen series is still my gold standard for this kind of game

Yandere is one of those archetypes where its early examples worked great because it has a surprise factor and its not only their identifying attribute but it got ruined real fast because of the shallow characterization and stereotypes. What you probably want is probably a heroine with yandere elements and not a simple "market" yandere.

ネモフィリア demo is out. I'm still not fully sold yet, but I'm interested in checking out the full game.

The setup is interesting so far, though the suspense elements are only briefly touched on in the short demo. I like the 'teasing ojou-sama and her servant' dynamic that MC and the heroine have. Though I sure expected a little more development before getting to the sex. Chizuru already makes her feelings known from the beginning of the story, but meanwhile we don't really get much glimpse of MC's thoughts about her besides admitting she's cute and politely sidestepping her flirting. Indulging in the forbidden relationship is obviously going to be a major catalyst for the conflict in the story, but as of right now it makes it feel pretty one-sided.

Crack trick can easily get part 2 one day just like Kimaten did, I dunno why you'd think it never will. Both of those have very episodic setups, they don't really fit for fandisks, but they fit for LN style infinite new case solving sequels. So I wouldn't be surprised if Kazuki Fumi shits out another one eventually

>>
>>51061199
As long as there's history and sibling bond there, with the characters viewing each other as such, that's enough for me. I've played games with blood-related heroines who barely even feel or act like siblings, where that aspect just gets treated as an afterthought.
If the way that the NBR siblings met and grew close over many years gets explored, then that can be compelling. And still has some appealing taboo to it, compared to something like childhood friends.

thanks for the answer, anon. it seems like it’s a bit of a struggle to get the original Muv-Luv running on Windows 11, but it should definitely be possible. by the way, outside of the h-scenes and the erect nipple sprites, is there any censoring done in the script? i’m asking because console releases usually get heavily censored, and since both the Steam and 20th Anniversary editions seem to be based on a console release…

>Purplesoft

You don't realise how much I DESPISE those kinds of romances based on fakery and deception
>Moonstone
>MC has had multiple ex-gfs
You don't realise how much I DESPISE infidelity in my VNs, I read VNs for the fantasy of pure love not for the knowledge that the heroine I choose will leave me because the world the VN is set in is "Real"
>all-ages 9-nine sequel
You don't realise how much I DESPISE all ages as H-scenes are the literal and figurative climax of a story, any VN without them is incomplete and your heroine didn't even love you if you never fucked

VNs are getting worse from what I remember playing. I'm tired boss... I can't handle yet ANOTHER NTR VN that doesn't disclose that it's NTR in the tags.

This is a really silly assumption, it's not hard for a VN to come up with plot reasons that seperated them before the story took place that don't involve cuckshit.
>>
>>51064720
I was just referring to it being a very comfortable way to play, and the vita screen is excellent. I haven't played with many remote setups, but moonlight is uncomplicated and on many platforms without need for putting an entire OS on your device. Connectivity with switch was pretty bad so I prefer Vita, phone is also alright but obviously you can map a bunch of functions to vita buttons while a phone is way more limited and less comfortable to hold, and the vita battery is a lot more formidable than non-chink phones
>>
>>51064997
I don't like the concept of breaking up in my VNs I play because they're supposed to be fiction I can escape into, so why would I want a fictional story no different from real life where people fall out of love and break up? Just the very concept existing in a VN means that every other undesirablke concept exists in that VNs world too, rape, infidelity, cucking, etc

>>
>>51066442
Do you lose interest even if it's a plotge?
If a game is hitting me with h-scenes I'm not in the mood for and I'm interested in continuing the story then I'll either skim or skip. If it's a nukige then I'll put it down for later.
>>
>>51065891
Yes
>>
>>51066465
Yeah, now that I think about it, it never happens with plotge. It's pretty much only an issue with nukige. As a result, most of the nukige I've actually finished have been on the shorter side. I almost never complete the longer ones because there's a very high chance I'll completely lose interest.
>>
>>51066480
The nukige might still have some good scenes worth looking forward to later at least.
I have a short nukige I've enjoyed but still haven't finished yet, despite finishing multiple plotge in the meantime, simply because I've been saving it for when I'm in the mood.

Excited for the remaster, but I actually hope it doesn't hit the remake goal. I can't remember the last time there was a remake where the artwork wasn't a downgrade from the charm of the original. Judging by their newer games it feels like Moekibara Fumitake is yet another artist where their newer art is more shiny but less charming than their older work.

Almost every VN I've played lately has been rife with subtle NTR, rape attempts, throwaway remarks implying a past lover. And I've just started a new VN, taken a look at the tags and the heroine I was planning on choosing has a 'Rape Attempt' tag

I can't do this anymore... Over 10 years ago when I fell in love with VNs and the emotional substitute for real life romance they gave me I never thought that some day I'd hate the one thing that has been a constant joy in my otherwise worthless life.

I'm just too tired of this shit. I just want a pure fictional romance without the filth of reality smeared across it. Is that really so much to ask for?
>>
>>51070225

>>51070227
If you're trying to imply that moege is what I'm searching for if I don't want to see NTR then you clearly yourself don't understand what moege is because I AM playing moege and still getting ntr shit in every one.
>>
>>51070246
>still getting ntr shit in every one.
i don't believe you. name the last 3 moege you read

unless of course you think the heroine going offscreen means she's having sex with others, in that case you can't be helped i guess
>>
>>51070247
1. The current one I'm reading, Akatsuki no Goei on VNDB the maid has a rape attempt tag
2. Realize Me, you literally get beaten up and another man fucks the heroine whose route youre on
3. Ren no Koi, Nanase Ren gets molested and it's supposed to be "comedic"
4. Gangsta Arcadia, the heroine rejects you and you have sex with another heroine instead of her like wtf
5. Fall In Love, Heroine is in love with her doctor and tells the mc to his face that she loves him more than the mc
I have many more but those are the most recent I've played within every 4 VN's I read
>>
>>51070266
Have you tried games made in the last 10 years? It feels like you skip most of the obvious moege titles to get to the obscure 2000s title that nobody cares about just to be a special retard.

>Akatsuki no Goei on VNDB the maid has a rape attempt tag
Jesus christ, decided to go down her route anyway hoping the rape attempt was just some small thing but even ignoring that apparently she has a genuine other boyfriend or possibly a fiancé never mentioned in the tags

You guys probably think I'm joking when I say this is literally driving me crazy. Literally, and I mean that word in its literal sense, VNs are the only good thing in my miserable life, I've never had a gf, never touched a girl, never experienced love of any kind, when I first played VNs I was utterly enthralled in them, I learned japanese solely for them, the literal only actual achievement I've ever made in my worthless life.

I need romance VNs as a substitute for my emotional fulfilment, so when even the smallest implication of NTR appears on a week I took off work to dedicate solely to playing VNs, I truly wish to kill myself. VNs in my youth when they were new never failed to make me cry after the culmination of the story, I would lay in bed crying from the catharsis of experiencing romance surrogated by the MC. Now they're losing their appeal, I'm entering an age of complete desolation of emotions.

In just want my pure love stories back....

>>51070675
>I choose VNs to play at random
That can be part of the problem then. I have content that I do and do not like, so I check a game before I play it to make sure I'm not wasting my time.

Developers generally play it safe with their games, because they don't want to piss off their already niche customer base. Most aren't going to put surprise rape/NTR in their game if they're a studio that has established a loyal audience who hates that. It's part of why studios often create a separate brand imprint to release games under that differ from their usual works (like moege brands making an imprint for separating their nukige releases). So focus more on trying games from studios that clearly cater to a pure love audience. And when you try more obscure games from more adventurous studios, know that you might come across unexpected content you may or may not want.

Are you sure? I haven't played Nekopara to judge it myself, but both databases I checked have the stats for it as nearly the lowest difficulty available. Even what I consider one of the easiest I've played, Nanatsuiro Drops, is calculated as slightly more difficult.
If a beginner tries to limit their options any more than that, then they have nearly no options to choose from. Even if a lot of VNs have pretty easy text, it comes with the territory that almost all of them are made with a 18+ native speaker audience in mind.
Plus Nekopara is very short, making it more approachable for a beginner who'll be reading at a slug's pace.

re-skimming it now it looks average (it was my second vn after hanahira so personally it was traumatic), but still it's very far from being a simple and good "your first" vn, being short is irrelevant here

the perfect entry level vn, at least for when it comes to japanese, is nekopara catboy paradise but obviously it's garbage

Looking up words in a dictionary is just part of the normal process of reading, regardless of language.
It's something to be proud of, not ashamed of. If you're looking up words, it means you're challenging yourself and reading actively.

Here are some of the English words I've looked up over the last week:
>limn, oeuvre, dishabille, appaz, haplotype, orectic
>>
>>51078866
>limn, oeuvre, dishabille, appaz, haplotype, orectic

>>
>>51078878
appaz sure is
>>
>>51078866
These sound Greek or French I hate "English"
>>
>>51078878
All words are made up. The only thing that separates a "real" word from a "fake" one is whether or not it's used consistently enough to be added to dictionaries.
"Weeaboo" was once a completely made up word, but moot put it in the 4chan word filter, and we used it, then other people used it, and twenty years later it's getting printed in dictionaries between wee and weed.

Triple lacks sub routes from 1st and 2nd game. It only features "main" story part of 1 and 2(aka murder mystery), but Kamaitachi no Yoru gimmick is that routes of different genres appear after clearing main one(like action-heavy, occult, conedy-focused routes, etc.)

Visual novels are a really fucking niche hobby and a niche hobby needs new blood to survive. Most of the audience will move on or literally die off otherwise.
I've been into VNs for going on 20 years, and there're are still plenty of old games for me to play when there's not something new I'm looking forward to.
>videogames right now are nothing but woke slop
Maybe if you don't even attempt to look. There're more video games being made than pretty much ever, they just target many different niches more than before. Decades ago did you bitch about everything being sportslop and barbieslop because they didn't appeal to you? Hopefully you were smart enough to find the games that weren't those.
>>
I can no longer play AAA slop and I blame VNs for that, everything is so boring, especially the one dimensional characters
>>
>look up the first Sentimental Graffiti game
>plot is about MC getting a letter and searching for the girl who sent it
I always kinda dislike this "promised girl" type of premise. It makes it feel like only one girl is the true choice for MC. That or maybe it pulls a retcon and every route ends with the girl you choose getting written to be the one "promised girl", which would feel cheap.

The scene itself, no, but the fact that the grave she visits is (you) on the previous game, and thus pissing on the original ending of (you) having a happily ever after with your childhood friend, is sacrilegious in a what supposed to be a fucking dating sim game. Just start over with a new heroine just like tokimeki memorial for the new game, why reusing the same girls all over again with that out of place plot? I bet the devs has same retardation just like Kakyuusei 2 devs, subverting the norm that TokiMemo established so people would talk about the game more, just like how trashy WNs subverting every cliche in normie media to get more clicks.

why? the mc diead, it's ok moving on, this doesn't count as ntr
>>
>>51082190
Actually, there's a bit of an interesting plot twist: It's an unreliable narrator situation where later on in the game when the protagonist examines the letter again, the pages are all blank. Then when he checks later the blank pages are missing and just the envelope is left, and then the envelope is missing too. It turns out the letter was completely imaginary from the start.
>>
>>51082282
It's not NTR, it's a different, more creative and unique kind of awfulness.
Which on some level I respect, but it's not the kind of story I'd care to read.

you can't think this if you are dead. if you self-insert in mcs then at most you can bitch about used goods, but not about what your girl does after you died
>>
>>51082192
I agree that's a weird decision to go with. If you wanted to make a new entry in the series, why recycle the same girls? If you wanted to make more content with the same girls, why not make a fandisc? Making a sequel that basically undoes the happy endings of the first is weird and would leave a bad taste for me.

Not really if it's significant enough to affect sales.
>you can't think this if you are dead
The one dying is my chosen person, the extension of myself, even if my IRL self is not the one dying, it's still an attack on myself and my happy ending on the original game. I do want "dealing with gried and moving on" scenario on more heavy themed VNs, but not on my dating sims. Memories Off 1 doesn't scratch that itch for me.

not that you're right about that

>>51083416
he already finished summer pockets (an almost 60h long vn!) so I doubt he would "barely understand anything" unless he reads without look ups which is retarded if you're that much of a beginner. it's only challenging in the first chapter when you're getting used to the fantasy vocab and the gripping plot would motivate him to keep reading. it was actually my second vn so I know what I'm talking about.
