Is ECMS back?
Goodsmile just doubled the shipping price for US customers again...
>>4539375I thought so but I bought a single yuri book with buyee and the only shipping option they have is airmail at 6000 yen. It is a $10 book under 400 grams. What the fuck. I forward normally and only did this because there was no other easy way to buy from toranoana. Would have been cheaper buying from a scalper secondhand.
>>4527898 Update from last thread, but it turns out the high price really was because of the large amount of items on the order. $80 of it was the “entry-line charge after first 3 lines” fee, $20 combined for the PGA disclaimer fee and disbursement fee; and only about $20 for the actual tariffs. Absurd.Sticking with Fedex for the time being now that it has DDP, hopefully my tariff exempt items stay properly exempt and they don't try to charge me for my manga.Is ECMS doing DDP too?Also apparently buyee has raised their fee from 300 to 500, for those that use that proxy>>4539375Looks like it for me.

Why doro is so shippable?
>>4534750Looks like you were right, seeing the current drama this game is going through on Twitter (X). Don't know if I'll still play the game, but I am hoping that the revelation that actual women make a significant portion of the fan base will bring about a Renaissance of yuri art and fics, and who knows, maybe a fem mc option (though I won't hold my breath for that).
>>4540732When the eventual anime adaptation drops. The best thing the series can do is make Rapi the lead (she's the face you see on the app icon). About a year into the game they dropped nikkes needing human commanders (they explained this as they are all cowards and besides our squad, are abject failures and abusive towards their squads) so all squads have no human oversight except when it's plot related.Rapi to that end is the one who goes through the most on screen character growth and will end up being flirted with as it's a remnant of the Mc being there (but also nikke are only women, so that's a natural by product) >Looks like you were rightI get those every once in a while

>>4540321It could be a useful platform thread if Seven Seas gets more aggressive with its licensing after Beauty's Blade's success.
>>4540314>This is not an inherent flaw to the work itselflol
>>4540314It's all so repeitive and generic. I can't stand wuxia shit and it gets shoved into everything the same way isekai gets abused in Japanese media. I get that lesbians in chinaland have literally nothing to be happy about so they have to project a fantasy world where they can be openly gay, but can they drop the retarded cultivation and idiotic magic battles bit? It distracts from any emotional investment I could muster.
>>4540328Unless you can read Chinese, it’s almost impossible to have a fair comparison between the translated and original work. We’re in a niche interest of a niche interest; many Chinese idioms or structures will naturally be lost when the amount of component translators are very few. We can say this to any translated work from any language, of course, but Chinese is notoriously complex and allegorical to references that Western audiences will never understand. Is the original work shallow? Maybe. But my point was that many translators will simplify, discard, or outright misinterpret - we’re usually missing a significant amount of context to give a definite answer. >>4540338This isn’t a specific critique to the Baihe cultivation/wuxia, but rather reminiscent of all wuxia novels. Most of the time it can be nonsensical vodoo-dodoo Chinese witchery that takes up half a page, but humans have a unique penchant for the familiar. It’s how Koreans love their Solo-Leveling dungeon crawlers and “I married the cold duke of the north” genres. If you’re really into interpersonal relationships, try Min Ran’s novels. She’s comparatively more mature on relationships (even though she is sometimes susceptible to “my wife is so hot, did you know she’s really hot?” dialogue).
>>4540338>>4540342I can't really agree, I like cultivation novels because they often do more with the story than just "girl meets girl and tries to win her over", not that I think "normal" yuri is bad but I'm someone that will always prefer Outside picnic rather than Adashima, and unfortunaly most of the "action" japanese yuri are simple garbage story wise, although I can understand people not liking cultivation shit too, it's a whole "power system" with so much nonsense and variety that unless you start with a novel that goes out their way to explain the system, you're just supposed to know everything by heart which for a newbie to chinese culture it's kinda difficult compared to just knowing about elfs, vampire and orcs by default.

>>4537773Too late. Endfield panders to the MLfag audience who need all the girls around the male mc and these games are shit for yuri. I'll stick to the games that don't pander to these people who spam Epstein memes whenever they see anyone shipping their waifus together.
The sad reality with the death of Towasugai and Assault Lily is: Yuri exclusivity is too niche. Yuri fans won't keep a yuri exclusive gacha alive. They don't pay enough to make it worth itHetfags and waifufags will forever be the target audience of gachas willing to pay the cost. Thus why het and waifu/ML gachas last much longerMoney speaks. Yuri fans should seriously stop seeking gacha games and play the yuri non-gachas and read yuri LNs and manga
>>4540696The most successful gacha game atm is exclusively targeting straight women, which in the gaming sphere is a pretty big niche honestly. I think it's just about making a really enticing product that's a great game first and a yuri story second. It'll still be niche, and the people making it know that (I hope) you shouldn't expect genshin impact or honor of kings revenue for these things. If the gacha I play gets the EOS treatment then at least I'm free of this hell, but atleast I put my money where my mouth is.
>>4540705The problem is: Niche revenue doesn't keep your game afloat. Gacha games need big spenders and those are straight husbando/waifufags. Not yuri fans. Thus most yuri is ML in games with "choose your gender"Purely yuri gacha? HBR already has that niche and yuri fans are happy with that single game and won't support others. Not enough to keep them alive. You can't blame devs for not going for yuri when it's guaranteed bankruptcy/early death. They need to make money to live and pay their expenses. Gachas aren't a charity. People here complain but this is the truth. Thus why I suggest other mediums
>>4540696it's different audience who have different desires from games. They want the live service and to be part of a fandom big enough to get consistent doujins or other fans to talk to, which VNs and manga don't always have because people have shorter attention spans. Hoyo yuri art gets more attention. So do gacha games like Umamusume and Bang Dream. I do agree with you about most gachas being slop for yuri only because of the rise of MLfags. Too many of these dudes are hostile towards yuri and it's not worth trying to share a space with them when developers use both sides to start drama while still profiting. Look at Wuwa and copyright striking a yuri artist while the company tries to save face. People should support games like HBR, or even R1999 that at least has a set female protagonist and promoted yuri pairs and absolutely no straight male MLfags play that. The big devs will always throw yuri aside for their actual incel audience who hatres yuri, and at worse, use you as a meatshield against those schizos so they don't go after the devs.

Can we have a thread about CGDCTs?
>be so poor that starving to death before the next government assistance check comes in is a legitimate concern>drives extremely lame scooter>gets hot girlfriend anywayHow does she do it?
>>4531099Autism, to be fair, the hot girl, has an even more lame scooter (it's literally a delivery bike)
>>4531099I still don't understand how she's allowed to live all on her own without any guardian.
>>4531118It's really never properly explained why she's able to live on her own. Her father is never mentioned at all, which isn't totally surprising considering the fact that there are very few male characters in the series, and I guess the government was never able to find her mom after she ran off. I assume she was declared a ward of the court or something like that. There's an entire arc where she's trying to decide where to go to college, and one college dormitory would allow her to continue to collect government aid but she couldn't keep her Cub on the property so she found a cheap lease on a haunted house that's close to her chosen school that would allow her to drive her Cub to classes but she would have to get a job to replace her welfare money. At least Reiko's excuse is that her family is filthy rich and she's a troublemaker so they just gave her her own house to trash.
>>4531118From what I can gather, in Japan they do not take children into custody if they are past the employment age, that is 15 years old. Remember in Japan education is not mandatory past age 15. You can choose to go to work and support yourself at that age even if you do have parents. It seems they really do want the orphan to stay in the home they are used to, going to the school they are used to, and most importantly NOT taking up a bed in their facilities. Since she is continuing in school the government is picking up her rent and some of her other expenses. I understand that would end if she quit school- but being over 15 she could get a job, so they are essentially paying her not to drop out and might be a better deal financially than if her Mom was still with her. It also means the state doesn't have to find storage for any property she was left.If Koguma got reported to the police for something or stopped going to school, child welfare would be on her and if it really was her doing something wrong they then would take her into custody and place her somewhere. And also in real life she would be getting a visit every week, workload permitting, so probably more like every two weeks.

>>4528647Probably has a similar significance as in our world, I'd wager. If we really wanted to lean into it, we could say that Hydrogen tends to host a little get-together for the occasion. Something for her at-the-time single friends that's maybe evolved into a more elaborate affair.
When it comes to Po and her ongoing romance with Thali, did the threads ever look at how they got together in the first place? I can't rightly remember and the closest I recall is just going from 1 to 3 when it came to them.>>4528652Understandable, though the idea of Hydrogen hosting a singles mixer is amusing.
>>4534740The original idea going way back to the start, that never really was expanded upon further come to think, was that Thallium had taken (a probably intoxicated) Polonium to bed and then joined her there, and inevitably everything came to a head and they kissed. This is after loads of lingering feelings on both of their parts for who knows how long, mind you. Now, the precise aftermath of that was never explicitly discussed. Presumably after waking up the next day they had a discussion where all of these feelings came to light and as a result they decided to give the whole romance thing a try. Or at the very least things simply progressed from there until they were an actual couple.
>>4534792I see, it makes sense. Although I'm kind of stumped about what initially drew Po's attraction in the first place. Cause surely, with her strike zone and proclivities, she's ran into a situation where jailbait's come onto her and didn't realize until things got a bit heated. Perhaps it was the domesticity Thali drummed up that got under her guard.
>>4540758That is, hmmm. That's a really good question. What you said would definitely play a hand in things, certainly. Polonium was definitely way more lonely than she realized no matter how many women she shared her bed with throughout the years. There wasn't any real lasting emotion or vulnerability there. So having Thallium around suddenly would be something of a jolt to her system, a taste of what she's been missing for so long. That's probably when she first would have begun to notice a change. Now, of course, on Thallium's end, there was always a sort of lingering fascination with her aunt, something she didn't quite have the words for yet, feelings that readily blossomed into something more. It was just a matter of finding the right circumstances. And it does helps that they're both kind of each other's types, to a degree, so there were probably plenty of moments early on in their cohabitation where Polonium thought to herself how cute Thallium was before shaking the thoughts from her mind. Things just progressed from there.
Elf lezzing.
