Enjoying any VNs recently?
>>747006893I swear I'm going to finish Amanatsu before the FD comes out.Anyways, Ririko best girl
Very.Currently playing Koikata.
>>747006893I started Baldr Sky. It's another high school game like Dies Irae though. These games are always so promising but then it adds the high schooler plot.
>yuzukino
>>747006893Amane but red hair?
Is Tenshi Souzou good? Been eying it.
>>747007849Plot is ass fetid garbage but Noa, Amane and Kurumi are very fun.
>>747007849If you like imoutos then it's worth playing just for Amane. Otherwise it's probably the worst of their modern releases.
>>747007849Pretty low on the yuzuge scale for me.
>>747007674Then stop picking VNs with a shonen plot?Read Shitai o Arau
>>747006893Just finished starless
ive played Katawa Shoujo recently. Dont play many vns. Hanako's story was really sad.
>>747007939>>747007956>>747007994I was going to go imouto route if I ever do get around to it. Maybe I'll bite the bullet.
>>747008029I think I'll just finish Muramasa. I did want to get into the Baldr Sky series though.
>>747006893I was playing Mako's route in Senren*Banka. Hers is much cuter than Yoshino's so far; Yoshino blew out my ears whenever she got excited too. If Mako is as much of a kiss slut, her route will be indisputably better.
>>747008208Imouto is the best route, and I say that as someone who's bored to death of imoutos in general.Every other route has some dumb bullshit they get sidetracked with.Actually fuck that, the maid has the best route. It's a side route but I don't care, her route was fucking fantastic.
>>747008319Based taste

>>747007559Himawari is so fucking good.
>>747008560Yea but Djibril's supposed to be fully edited already...
>>747008629>Reddit-spacing newfagThanks for the bump!
>>747007559Wait, shit. Is Amanatsu's FD out?
>>747008492>frontwingDidn't they stop localizing 18+ games? Sharin no Kuni has been on hold for like a decade.
>>747008761What's wrong with This
>>747008814Yeah, pretty meh.
>>747008947Yashiro is who got me stuck in a reading rut in the original.I might just ctrl through her route and read Kazuha's.
>>747008723That ending where Aqua cuts off your balls.I wish someone translated the sequel.
>>747006893I'm surprise NN hasn't gotten this game out on Steam already with how fast they'll translated Yuzusoft games.
What vn shall i play? In the mood for some casual dating fun so no heavy hitters
>>747009124NN has been fucking dragging their feet for years now.
>>747009184Tsujidou-san
>give me a kiss, anon!
>>747009275Saya my beloved you will always look like a loli to me
>>747008831I mean they picked it up not that long ago, it'd weird to give up on it now that it's almost done...
>>747008319Orie's route is very cute, but it felt like you were cucking Kaguya.
>>747009614>KaguyaKind of deserved it with a route so unfulfilling. Especially when she doesn't get pregnant at all despite screaming for it
Any cute VN where I can go a romantic route with a succubus
>>747007994have they made anything good since roka in senren banka
>>747009707>spoileryea that really annoyed me. she needed preggo sprite.
>>747009731Mamiya Mami wa Iyashite AgetaiI don't think it's getting a sequel
Yuzusoft's greatest work
>>747009984Correction
>>747010232Is this Riddle Joker? I will never fall for the Yuzusoft meme ever again.
>>747010306Don't know what you expect with Yuzusoft, you'll probably get one decent girl, 2 if you're lucky. Imho that's enough for me, art carries them hard.
playing through STARLESS and i really like the art, it's very good. what i don't like is how the sex scenes involved 15 drug-induced cumshots in a row. seems lazy to me.needs a piss/scat toggle like modern games have
I need to replay this gem again, but with the FD and rw+ this time.
>>747010503Yeah I'm a sick fuck so I enjoyed everything about the game except the stupid shit like the dick needling and "let's put the cum back in your dick so you can double cum!"
>>747010653somehow i never realized the protagonist of rewrite is a grown ass man infiltrating a school to fuck the students
>>747010435That's fair. If people like romance VNs that's their thing.
>>747010972Yuzuge romance aspects are pretty weak.
>>747010232I don't think women say things like this IRL
>>747006893Yes. It's very artistic. I can see why some people are totally turned off by the repetition and poetry and the audio saying one thing while the text says another thing happening constantly. I personally like it a lot.
>>747011179what are some vns with high quality romance
>>747011202I wouldn't know I don't talk to w*men
>>747011326Meikei no Lupercalia
>>747011569Tsun is God's domain. But short brown hair is shit.
>>747006893I'm really enjoying the curvature of this woman
>>747011179Romance is usually one of the strong points of their games, at least if you like their style. It's the supernatural plot elements that are the weak parts.
>>747011704Based childhood friend buttslut
VA-11 It's quite funny and yes I am 10 years late. I'm afraid I'm not quite fashionable.
>>747011347Kinkoi is genuinely one of the worst VNs I've ever read.
What a horrible thread.
>>747012201This thread is actually better than /vn/ every time I've visited
>>747012194That sucks, anon.
why is there 0 (zero) nts vn
When is Yuzusoft going to come out with a new VN? Feels like their last one was ages ago.
>>747012292another case of not having to deal with resident schizos and stale memes/pasta
Demonbane 2 is translated, go read it faggots.
>>747009763Mayu
I haven't read a VN in years and moved onto to playing gacha games like a lot of other people...I quit all my gacha games lately and thinking about coming back to VNs though since it has been like 5-6 years.
>>747013053Gacha are just glorified VNs with a predatory monetization model, you didn't miss much.Most of the writers that left for gachas are coming back too.
>>747008554I played this at Nextfest. It was kind of like a VN where you guide a female troop to survival. Metal Gear inspired.
>>747012194why?? it looks good
i'm enjoying this vn
>>747013145You just have to wait them out. Blue Archive will fold eventually and release an offline version.
>>747013175For the reasons you'd expect a visual NOVEL to be bad. Fucking awful writing.
>>747013175not that anon but the sexual situations are stupid, I dropped it on the spot once I hit the threesome once I hit the threesome with Reina and Ayaka
>>747013221I'm playing BA, it's pretty much a VN with a endless common route.
>>747013183BA would unironically be one of my favourite VNs if I'd consider it as one
>>747006893Waiting for Himanatsu and Fuyukuru
>>747013281i'm not sure if that's a plus for me considering i usually find common routes to be an absolute slog with very slow pacing
>>747006893Started reading Danganronpa since it runs better on Switch 2 than Switch 1
>>747006893I love yuzusofto but this vn sucks.
>>747013442Can't agree, I find the common routes to the most fun part of VNs in like 90% cases.
Also almost finish reading Last Windows on DS, Cing best VN imo
>>747013183You think Plana-chan ever thinks about her old sensei while having sex with (You)?
>>747012740>No Sexual Contentwhat a shame
>>747006893I tracked down this obscure VN called Tonarizuma and played through with Textractor.MTL is still shit, but it's at the level where you can have a decent gist of what's going on which is more than you could even conceive of dreaming about a decade ago.If it weren't for having to sift through sketchy sites and even sketchier download sites, there could be a whole new world behind that once-impervious language barrier.Oh and the VN itself was a pretty neat time capsule of 2005 IT woes. Shame the writer obviously ran out of steam when it came to writing bad ends, the harem ending or even maintaining plot consistency between its myriad convoluted event flags.
>>747013929Demonbane porn is more hilarious than erotic, you read this for the high budget and giant robots
>>747013234is there a single vn with good writing besides the 2-3 ones everyone talks about?
>>747006893is there a single VN that came out in the last 5 years that can be considered a classic ? feels like the releases of kamige have stopped
>>747014217No. They all have bad writings
>>747014247I wish I could just skip everyhing until eva gets coronated so I can stop playing
>>747014273Hentai prison. Very close to hitting 5 years tho. I have no idea what the fuck qruppo's been up to
>>747014340i read reviews for that one and it seems that it doesnt respects your time at all for what is a very mid conclusion
>>747014217For a romance/SOL VN the criteria for "good writing" is a likable cast of characters and no obnoxious adn contrived melodrama and Kusokoi fails at both of those things.
>>747014404What the fuck
>>747014404True ending is kino
Imagine being so bereft of soul you don't adore HenPri
Honestly, I'm surprised that at least something like this wasn't posted yet.
>>747014765
>>747006893Finished Otome Domain yesterday. Hinata is best girl after Minato, of course.
>>747014217that question depends more on you than on the vns themselves
>>747014765Very well
>>747014765oh shit i'm sorry
>>747014827Good taste.
>>747014817Oh my...>>747014843lol.>>747014878There are some scenes like that, multiple girls wearing only underwear.>>747014941It's okay.
>>747014273the LB6
>>747006893Yes, I've been rereading through all the SciADV entries recently.
I'm reading Aiyoku no Eustia in JP but I kinda lost motivaton after best girl Fione route. And I probably have some 75 hours ahead of me...
>>747014965She means jilled off... right
>>747015067it's a man
>>747014765Yune > Shirley > Konoka > Masaki > Airi>>747014878Sena > Akari > Maya > Shizuru > Hinata
I hate Yuzuslop
>>747015051Fione's route is like 10% of the story, it's a ladder system where each route unveils more.
I love Yuzukino
car
>>747015093noooooooooooosytrsyr5sy
>>747014878>best girl>no route
>>747015226Yune is the only good heroine hereIt's a shame how Car always voices cock loving vulgar sluts in yuzuge
>>747015234I really fucking hate how yuzu doesn't give girls proper female nails, they look like guy nails being so short.
Best yuzugirl for 14 years and counting.
it certainly BLT
>>747015292I enjoyed the cohabitation
>>747015428Based.
>>747015390Long nails are for vile guttersluts only
>>747015432Now we're talking.
>>747006893no, sadly. i've just moved to another country and it's been so stressful adjusting to this new life, i've neither the mindset nor the desire to read vns or play vidya. i keep buying vns tho, and i'm really looking forward to amakano 3 and jewelry hearts
>>747015234
>>747014765you mean girls locker room?
>>747015441Kanna is Elina-lite with a watered down version of Nene's route. Eh, at least she's not as obnoxious as Elina.
>>747015432>Where there is child support, I kill it
>>747015428why is she dressed like a nazi
>>747015518You know I don't mean the negro claws, but feminine nails.
>>747015661She's just like that
Clannad is so big. I think I'll be playing this game until November.
>>747015661Its cute
>>747015587A scene with several girls (at least 3) in their undies.
>>747015661She's in charge of beating up minorities
>>747015709why are long nails feminine
>>747015820
>>747013281I think it is. The auto-battling can be less involved than most VNs I know and you just play it to interact with the girls.
>>747015820oh yeah. There's another one in the game but it will get me a timeout
>>747015961Because they make my dick hard.
>>747015985I don't bother doing TA/GA unless I can auto it or finish it in under a minute. Already at 4 years I got pretty much everything from coins.
>>747015820What's the name of the game?
>>747014965I wish Miyu had gotten a route. A shame she didn't.
Been reading G-Senjou recently, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm done with the true ending, and I'm now reading the remaining routes. A friend who has read G-Senjou before told me the plot twist at the end should've been explained better, and while I can understand his point of view, the clues were right there, and it was our fault we weren't paying enough attention. The epilogue felt kind of unnecessary though.
I like comfy VN threads.
>>747016285Kishi x Kano
>>747014340>I have no idea what the fuck qruppo's been up toLooking over the current Nukitashi manga, I guess. I really hope they have something new to show soon.
Is there any VN where the comic relief best fried also finds a gf by the end?It's not fair that they always end up alone
>>747016458Cafe Stella, at least in one route.
>>747016384Blue mogs the others in this image.
>>747016458What if he wants to be alone because he's married to his job?
>>747016267I stopped BA when there's was a church boss or something and it was a stat check. I think that's when they want you to start paying, which is why gacha suck. Also Nexon installed anti-cheat without telling anyone.
>>747007559>only 2 non VNs in year and 2 months
>>747016580And that's a good thing.
>>747016560>I think that's when they want you to start payinglmao, anon, you had a pre-made team to beat that with.You wouldn't have been able to change anything even if you did pay. You were just bad and unprepared.
>>747010653hmm that's not how I remember Rewrite, but it's also hard to refute.
Been trying to replay Unteralbach, but the game won't load. Just crashes on launch.
>>747015441>swimsuit with stockingsstop doing this
>>747014273guess ill try Dies Irae or Ever 17 next
>>747016758I will spit on your grave.
>>747007559DIEGO BEST GIRL
>>747016580if it makes you feel any better I'm getting ready for Ace combat 8.I just dont feel like playing non-VNs currently.
>>747006893i miss kudriavka but nothing else on that VN
>>747016941You are truly my brother from another mother.
>go through 70% of the VN get bored>start a new VN>rinse repeathow do I stop this
>>747006893Bandshit stories are gay and cringe
>>747006893
>>747006893I love women's bodies so fucking much.
>>747017540Too little fanservice to be worth playing
What are some good harem VN with hot harem scene? I need my harem fix
>>747017540What are these plastic things? Disgusting
>>747017725They are real people, like you and me.
Playing 活俠傳 (Legend of Mortal). Having an absolute blast with it—highly recommend to anyone with even a mild interest in Chinese wuxia fantasy. The translation is a bit rough, but honestly much better than I’d expect for a game with this much text. Overall it feels a lot like playing a Rance game, mostly comedy, with some serious and epic moments mixed in.
>>747017803About as real as the cheese in American supermarkets
>>747017540Played a similar game called "Beauties and the Stranded" It was alright.
>>747017540arr rook same
>>747017715Kiss x 200
I've been holding off for too long on these, need to start soon:Ourai no GahkthunH20Nukitashi 2Yume Miru KusuriYosuga no SoraXross Scramble
how are you to break up any harem infighting in isekai
>>747017981same dev
>>747018318Hikari >>>>> Char >>>> Sophia > Marou > KikiHikari and Char were so much better than the rest it wasn't fair
>>747006893i want to finish the VNs i started but i keep reading books instead
>>747018419why would my wife ask me this
>>747015661
>>747018870
>>747018318This one felt kinda different for a SMEEge, guess its kinda different when all the heroines are close to each other from the start instead of total strangers
>>747012194I am currently struggling to get through it. I read somewhere it was one of the better moege, but it's legitimately the worst one I've ever read.
>>747011263I recognize that artstyle
>>747019018If you dont like it just drop it, if this kinda moege/utsuge doesn't mesh with you in the first hour it's just not for you.
>>747018948No I signed a contract when you were sane, being insane nulls it.
>>747006893Which team is breast?
>>747018423sometimes, just sometimes, childhood friend is also best girl
>>747019221It's not that uncommon for VNs
Reading through ToHeart 2 right now, give me more vanilla romance VNs.
>>747019221Sometimes? I'd wager if the childhood friend involved isn't some annoying dandere she'll be pretty much in the top 3.
>>747019382Argonauts trilogiesfuck you sister incest is vanilla
>>747019087Pin-pon. Correct, same series.
>>747012281you forgot the ost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9D1rWlCWnQbaldr sky didnt wasnt good as expected but dam it got such good climax. im sucker for op ost during fight.
>>747019318>>747019451so it isn't too uncommon i guess
>>747019104Eh, at this point I'm too far in, plus I want to read the Anal queen's route in the FD
>>747019382Kana and Nagi routes in Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai.
>>747019496Dont worry, I agree with that.
>>747019620Thanks for posting best girl delivering proper punishment to doroboneko.
>>747006893I haven't played one in a long time. Any good and short ones to get back to?
I don't see the point in childhood friend type love interests.Akari already perfected it decades ago, no need for more
>>747006893Doesn't this make you guys depressed?
osananajimmies can't be beat
>>747019552I thought it was made by the group that made I/O which is an obscure sci-fi VN I liked. Nope. Must just be the same engine or something.
>>747020037Fulfilled, depressed when it ends, start new game, fulfilled again, rinse repeat...
>>747020075Nakazawa ain't obscure man.
>>747019963childhood friend heroines are great when MC molests them early in their lives and it reflects in their later sex life
>>747020037What? Beautiful 2D women? Visual novels? Gotta be more specific. I'm pretty sure I don't feel depressed when I'm engaged with either.
>>747020037If you don't feel like killing yourself at the end of a moege it wasn't very good.
>>747020042The childhood friend types we get in manga and anime are so by the book its getting boring, in VNs they have so much variety.
>>747014817FUCK SUBHUMAN JANNIES
What about childhood friends that forgive the MCs that orchestrate their rape by a different party?
any of you guys play vns on android either with gamenative or that one program I can't remember the name of that apparently plays a ton of vns natively? I'm considering getting an android tablet, and if it's not a pain to get vns running on it then that'll definitely convince me to ditch ipads. I fucking hate ios, but for the longest time android tablets were only 16:9 and that fucking sucks for manga which has been my main use of the tablet, but that's getting off topic. I've messed with gamenative for indies on my chinkheld and it's surprising how good it is, but I wouldn't want to play vns on such a small screen so I've not tested any
>>747019002the comedy and structure doesn’t differ all that much from making lovers or sugar style. i still need to read making lovers 2 and that one you posted tho
>>747020140By that I mean "hasn't been discovered by youtube essayists"
>>747007674>high schooler plot >it's all backstory shit while the game is still mostly set in the presentfiltered
>>747020760You'll kill yourself when you realize how much VNs actually need some kinda mouse/keyboard control, that's why handhelds with a touchpad are the best way to play.
Reading og tsukihime, I didn't expect for the MC to rape so much.
>>747020929>mostlywhere's the mod that makes it entirely
Is Amagami as good as people say? Like, is it worth it since playing through an emulator sounds like a pain the in ass.
>>747019382My manDid Komalis, Tama-nees and Konomis route, taking a break and reading Utawarerumeno 1 before Yumas routeAlso Steam Deck for VNs is peak comfy, it's so nice to be able to read them in bed
>>747020774Harem Kingdom is a completely different ballgame there, but Poppy felt kinda different. Still need to play ML2
>>747020990*Komaki's
>>747006893I played "I can't believe my sister has a hemorrhoid" one as a joke and it was actually stupid-hot. The hemorrhoid gimmick is just a weird attention-grabbing framing device, the real story is hot af.
>>747020990Started with Manaka myself.Tamaki pisses me off to no end though, I dont think I have ever actively hated a love interest in a game before.
Play this one. Has one of the best tsunderes in recent history.
>>747019813i actually liked her. angry possessive women are very cute, sometimes
>>747006893I need a new FFM-yuri-incest kannige now that nekopara is over. Is there anything new out?
Anyone read this?The non-H port came out on steam recently, and i haven't watched the anime, is the story good?
>>747020760I've played on kiriroid for hundreds of hours and it works like a dream. Moonlight streaming is also great. I haen't fucked with smartbox/termux and the like much, the majority of my games has weird ass shit glitches or doesn't run.
>>747020760I do. There are some games that are a pain the ass to get working and some have bugs you can't get around, so I'd recommend not having be the only device you use (I use a steam deck when it doesn't work on gamenative). When it does work it's pretty comfy. Also, the device I use has a second screen that I use as a touchpad that helps resolve any mouse control issues, but just using the trackpad mode on the main screen shouldn't be too different.
>>747021098Ehh, she's just a femdom Oujosama type heroineProbably just a preference thingSo far, i think Manaka's route is the best though
>>747021098she's based in the fandisc where she says the homo allegations line and shares her bfI think I get what you mean though, I found her somewhat inconsiderate at first but she grew on me
>>747013234>>747013276idk most people who play it say the writing is good. And you are saying it is bad. idk iff i cann believe you
>>747007849Literally the worst yuzuge I read so far and the first one I actually dropped
>>747020042i really liked that one. charming, good soundtrack
>>747012568Actually, why schizos don't post here, are they getting banned on the spot? Anon mentioned muramasa before with no smoothbrain responses WTF.
>>747021183I've only watched the anime since the english version available until this most recent steam release was rough. overall I really like it, and the first two thirds are great, but it kind of goes off the rails at the end. still solid, I don't regret watching it, and I still plan on getting around to the new release. the anime already cut out the sex scenes and even hid the fact that the mc was fucking one of the characters which was kind of important for character development, so I imagine this new release is still better than the anime in that regard
>>747021183it's an old school nitro+ release so it's probably good. i'll give it a shot one of these days.
>>747019813I like sprite's art but I won't read koichoco after *that one* translator webm
>>747018423Kiki's route was so bad I almost dropped HK
>>747021650
>>747018318This is my favourite Smeege.
what do we think of eccentric heroines?
>>747021526There are only 2 kinds of people I've ever seen praise Kinkoi. JOPs and Plotge fags and in both cases they hate Moege so the only reason they praise Kinkoi is because it's not like other moege. It's literally like the Expedition 33 of moege.
>>747006893Trying to read Kanon in JP as my first VN in the original language. I feel 出来ない as fuck desu
Maybe I don't want cringe high school plots in Baldr Sky ever considered that

>>747022721They're either best girl or a mediocre subcharacter, nothing in-between.
>>747022970that's MS Gothic, it's in like every VN
I'm like 10 hours into this, just finished Karen's route, and now on the fluffy head's, but it's very boring and putting me to sleep. Should I finish it?
>>747023110I don't remember every vn struggling to render "i"s this bad
>>747023262That's just monospacing.
>>747022721does she have autism or any other sort of neurodivergent condition? like that one girl from fureraba or pic rel
>>747023461I love this girl because she perfectly exemplifies that being a cuckold is a mental illness.
>>747023249I thought the anime was better. I would say the anime has the true ending not found in the vn anyway
>>747019963>spoilerWeird way of saying Sumika.
>>747006893No, and I'm annoyed with myself for it. I need to budget more time for them somehow, but whenever I'm on the computer I always end up playing (real) video games or watching Youtube stuff.
>>747025017It helps to have a dedicated portable device for VNs. A cheap used laptop would work since it's not like VNs are graphically demanding. Now even android devices can play most VNs due to ARM translations.
>>747020743What the FUCK did they to Nagamori? That doesn't look anything like her.
I was reading Saya no Uta in moons the other day and I've read a fair amount of manga etc. at this point but I swear it's one of the highest level things I've read yet, godamn ton of obscure/hard words.
>>747025608>>747020743Wait what? Did they remake One?
>>747025806yes
>>747025874Show me my waifu Akane. Did they butcher her?
>last played The Silver Case in Jan 9thCh2 made me lose steam, I don't really feel as interested in the Apartments as much as I was with the kids and the shelter
>>747025974>butcherbut it's the same artist...lmao
>>747026104It gets back to that stuff. Always found Parade dragged a bit more than that part. You'll never survive Flower Sun and Rain though.
>>747025421That's what I've been thinking. A tablet might be the answer; I have periods of down time at work, but I'd need something relatively small I can quickly close and put away when I have to deal with people.
>>747026216Akane is at least nearly recognisable, but that's fucking awful. It being the same artist is even more depressing.Why the hell did they wash all the colors out?
>>747026216How's my girl like?
>>747023974Best girl. She healed my PTSD.

https://youtu.be/tDXNwBU0X_Y?si=43RnwJfYKrYbBsKZ&t=317This live2d shit is cursed.What a crime against art.
>>747027391oh yeah this is probably one of the worst kinds of styles to use live2d on
>>747006893How do you guys rate the importance of each when you play a vn?>character (waifu, side characters)>story>sprite and bg>music>gimmick (time travel, looping days, stat raising, etc)>gameplay (like maybe turn based combat integration)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwSrHzNrRS4
>>747027517storymostly play vns to find off the beaten path stories that cant or wont be told in a anime
>>747027391That is some LAZY live2d right there.
I'm reading Air, I finished my first route (Tohno) a few hours ago.It's ok so far, but the mc is dumb as bricks, I'm not sure how to feel about that.
>>747027264Not too bad. It really feels like the sprites are way too "refreshed" though, by which I mean there's some sort of mood to them that reminds of me of spring wind and whatnot. I don't like how there's light in her eyes either, it felt like a constant reminder of her condition and slightly turned me on that she had none.>>747027348There's plenty of retarded girls in VNs, more than enough retarded protags too.
what the fuck
>>747008629whats wrong with evn?
>>747027517The importance depends on the VN, so it doesn't really make sense to rate them.I'd say the key aspects are story, characters and gameplay, any one of those can theoretically carry a VN single-handedly even if the other two are bad.The others you listed are good to have but not good enough alone.
>>747027831that is not ok
>>747027584For me, it's thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDiN_Fuuzvw
Never played a vn but this is my favorite vn girl. Tell me something nice about her.
>>747028287There's so many good songs it's hard to pick.
>>747028807I just like OPNA kino.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1nngpeus6YModern games need to RETVRN to programming music with nothing but pro music driver and a box of scraps.
>>747027774No, Mayu Shiina was like, extra retarded.Like twice as retarded as Ayu from Kanon, or Misuzu from Air was.
>>747029903Does Maeda have a fetish for developmentally disabled women? I remember feeling weird doing Rin's route in LB because she seemed a bit slow.
>>747030103
>>747030257The key word in that image is "almost". I mean just going off of the description of Shiina on vndb>As soon as something bad happens, she starts yelling the ferret's name and crying uncontrollablyThere's a big difference between retard cute, like Mitcher, and being written like someone with down syndrome.
>>747030257>>747030394Yeah, like I said she is full on retarded.Fully non-functioning, will never live without a caregiver retarded.
Retarded = Best girlRetarded + airhead you can get raped for all I care
Muvluv is the most disappointing turd I've ever read and I genuinely think there's something wrong with the people who jerk it off and that they must have read a completely different VN than I did.
>>747030394She is also like 12, while the protag is 16 or 17.... I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse in general, but she could plausibly be only around Michiru's level of retardation when she grows up.
>>747030103there are definitely a lot of retards and mental regression in their games
Do all ages VN acceptable here?
>>747030394>>747030812>Mitcher mentioned
>>747028479The girl can SOCC MEEE!!!
>>747031139My wife
>>747031139Tardwife
>>747030764I never read it, but from what I've read on here, you need to get to the second game Muvluv Alternative for shit to go off the rails.I'm willing to bet it's just bias though. The people who say this probably actually liked the first one to begin with. It's doubtful that it'd suddenly become something you like.
>>747031228>you need to get to the second game Muvluv Alternative for shit to go off the rails.Yeah basically, the first is basically a fun standard eroge of its own + a "short" prologue to Alternative. I don't know how the fuck you could not like Extra though, you have both humour and cute girls, what more could you ask for?
>>747031437>what more could you ask for?lacrosse
I need more childhood friends romance with minimal drama.
>>747031228Alternative is very different, in many ways a completely different genre that could plausibly appeal to people who didn't like Extra, but the story also relies on the player caring about Extra to begin with. I've never understood people who claim to only like Alternative, or why you'd even push yourself through an entire first game you didn't like to get to it.
>>747031547there's no point in romance without the dramaa relationship has to feel earned
>>747013151What game?
>>747031547I thought I wanted that until I tried that game and in fact that specific route. I have never been more bored in my life.
>>747031462You can have that too, you'll just have to bear a few mere hours of stupid bitches making their catfights your problem.
Haven't kept up with vns for years. Anything with a good sister route come out? Br is a must, of course
>>747006893I'm enjoying Lessons in Love.

>>747031773Same. Kirin was so good last update.
>>747031748What about Michiru? Her game isn't particularly new but I can guarantee that she and her route are nice.
>>747031748Yosuga no Sora got a translation a year ago, so is fairly new if you're a filthy EOP like me.
>>747031604>a relationship has to feel earnedThe point of childhood friend is you already in relationship with someone, the only thing you need to do is not ignore it and let the love withers from inaction.
>>747015428
>>747008554https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjlY1ksx4twHere's another one for your list anonIt's very good
>>747031037There's plenty of great all-ages VNs, yeah.
>>747031923>already in relationship with someonethat's why they suck
>>747031923But you still have to earn it. It's childhood friend, not childhood girlfriend.
I can't wait for the summer to end already
>>747032039>that's why they're the bestftfy
>>747032112You already earned it by being good friends
>>747032112>But you still have to earn itSure, but the bar is so low you have to be a retard to fuck it up, which is what most "drama" with childhood friend heroine tends to be.Pic totally related.
>>747014217There are plenty of vns with great writing, the problem is bad translations. And this is no "you can't learn japanese" weeb shit, literature as a whole suffers the most from subpar tls.
>>747032410FUCKING WHORE
>>747032410did she died
>>747032410wtf happen
>>747032473I think she left to pursue her career or something
>childhood friend>finds another guywhy is it so common?
I just realised while I am nearly done with Manaka's route, I still have not even seen like half the characters in ToHeart 2.
>being his childhood friend>finds another girlit's all so tiresome
>>747032473>>747032564https://vndb.org/t7153.21She ghosted the MC three times, 2 times because she choose her music career over (you), the final times she leaves you as an adult because she felt guilty seeing how much of a fuck up your life has become after she left, and ghosted you again after you proposed to her.(She took the engagement ring's box as memento.)
>>747008492Cant you just sloppa translate these kinds of things nowadays? Like, it woudl've been a lot easier to do translating now by asking Gippity-chan how to do it over google-fu
>>747032843That just sounds fucking miserable.
>>747032985VN players are mostly old and stuck in the mindset of MTL being bad. To be fair this changed in the span of like 3 years so many don't realize how good it is now
>>747032784>Being his childhood fiancee>Find another girl anyway
>>747014965Damn mid 2000's VN aesthetic gives me the nostalgia
>>747033043Theres jap learners who get ass mad their years of study can be more or less equalized by MTL and will denouce it no matter the situation or how good it is. Then theres the people who expect waaaaay too much. And expect the MTL to spit out a retail-ready, error less translation or itll never be good enough for themMTL fucking rules
>>747033075>mid 2000's VN aesthetic pic not related

>>747032784NGL I love doing this and it makes me diamonds especially when I choose a girl that's close to the childhood friend.
Playing through the rerelease of goHellgo. Dumped 30hours on it already. Has pretty decent gameplay. Plays like Dohnna Dohnna. Has a top tier loli in it that wins my best character design of the year ive seen. One of those games where the hours just melt away as you play

>has bangs>it does the X thing at the middle of forehead
>>747034603To be fair to them, the entire point of their games is satirizing sex, sexuality, and porn. The message is less "embrace current thing" and more "people get way too worked up about sexual stuff"

VN's are the most immersive of all escapist media.
>>747035469VR VNs when
>>747035469Have you tried VR porn
>>747006893Need more good childhood friend heroines
>>747035508A full VN > pornalso using VR for porn is too inconvenient.
>>747035558what makes childhood friend heroines good in your opinion?
VNs with Sex With Others childhood friends?
I finished Manosaba. Looking forward to the sequel(s). I enjoyed the long-term confinement setup with the girls coping in different ways, and the trials were wacky while the whole thing was still less absurd than Danganronpa.
>>747035571>using VR for porn is too inconvenientWouldn't it be the other way around? Putting on a headset for a ten minute wank is way more doable than wearing a headset for thirty hours to mostly read.
Reading Smee's new Making Lovers and this just a total downgrade to the earlier Making lovers and Fureraba. Not a total wash though, the girls are good
>>747035667A fat ass
>>747034865
>Finish VN>Sit there sad because it's over and I can't read it for the first time ever again
>>747032410>>747032843This is even more retarded than the cf's true route in Sousaku Kanojo no Ren'ai Koushiki. Never let this nigger cook again
I NEED an H-VN where the pantyhose and stockings aren't just a weird fucking flat leatherlike texture
>>747035667if they are tsundere
>>747035907
>>747035667Familiarity and consistent heart to hearts. Unlike other heroines where they're mostly a new element into an MC's life, CF heroines should be the girl they're most comfortable with and they should earnestly get their feelings across to eachother without much melodrama required.So minimal misunderstandings.Some CF destroy a lot of good will when they're paradoxically both complacent and attention-seeking during the common route. I think I prefer it when the CF heroine isn't too lovestruck until after you get on their route.
>>747035667That they're actual friends that grew up with you since childhood, ie the same degree of back and forth, familiarity and assholery you'd expect from siblings.
>>747035667Not him but in my opinion it's the general familiarity, They've been together since they were children and can't imagine a life where they don't interact every day. It's this extreme sense of closeness as if parts of the same body that appeals to me, same with blood related imoutos.
>>747019087It's niceEver Maiden 2 eventually
>>747036194>same with blood related imoutosAre you me?
>>747035667-knows you since childhood -Loves you-Don't hide that she loves you-Don't be abusive (sumika and chitose failed this)-Don't break relationship with MC after earning it (Miyako failed this)-don't pull magic bullshit drama that can't be solved(bokuten failed this hard)
>>747036252Looking forward to Ever Maiden 2. You that anon in the other thread that owned the physical and also recommended the game you posted? Based anon.
>>747036557no one would understand what you mean if you don't give the visual novel names
>>747036669Yup, that was meI hope it actually comes out given that they haven't said much about it.
>>747036736Looking forward to the new Asahi game
>>747036736Had to be you. Theres not many who would be THAT based. I got my hands on most of the drama CDs and append disc from the Lairsoft Fanclub. Also ordered a bunch of merch. Trying to get my hands on anything i can find. But yeah, it got me to look up the artist and im importing that fairytale? i think it was called series as well as some of Lair's back catalog. Going to try A Beautiful Hopes. Before Ever Maiden i played through about 2/3rds of their newest release. "Who is the Shapeshifter". Was alright, but just felt a lot smaller in scale compared to Ever Maiden. More flatter setting, small amount of character cgs and cgs in general. Felt like it was over before i knew it. Biggest gripe is the game sorta tricks you into a NTR scenario.
>>747036693-Sumika = from Muv Luv, frequently abuse MC with punch. Also apparently tentacle'd in Alternative but I only read moege so I don't know-Chitose = from Koichoco, an obnoxious cunt whose acting like the worst mix of tsundere and possessive childhood friend combined, you are forced to play her route first only to find out she only use the MC as a replacement for her brother.-Miyako = from Majikoi, loves you intensely, go fuck off in the ending of her own route because she was told to do more than just loving MC instead of doing it together as a couple. Route is so shit that it kills Majikoi translation for several years until someone else picked it up.

>>747037070Fairytale is cool. It feels like a beta for Ever Maiden in some ways, but I enjoyed the distorted perception angle for even the saner members of the cast. Just an FYI that it has unavoidable NTR. Older Liar-Soft stuff like Cannonball and Forest are worth a look too, even if you need to make a lot of saves to see all the content.

>>747007304>LLJ neverI mean someday, it's Yuzusoft, so surely someday.
>>747040504I have touched upon Sengokuhime a tiny bit but not enough to tell you about the series' varying quality. It was also a few years ago so my memory is a bit vague. I played the 4th game in the Sengoku series and it was decent I guess. I have heard 3,4,5 are the best.

Anyone else not like to burn through VNs. Usually i do one route, shelve it. Maybe a few years later ill feel like revisiting it and play another route. I dont like just burning through all the routes at once.
>>747041508Never had that problem unless it's a game I'm not liking.
>>747041508I can't wait a few years else I'd forget a lot of stuff unless it was a damn good VN.
>>747041508did your mom not teach you not to play with your food
Been reading this Vinnie lately.
>>747041508Depends on the VN, I usually just do 1-2 routes but if the game requires me to do them all to completely understand the story or get the true ending then I do them all.
>>747041508I always felt like shit when I do that, especially when its a VN that I've been waiting for years to released/translated
>>747040504Don't play the first game.
I was kinda surprised with Maggot Baits.Did not expect that game over with like 8 back to back sex scenes. Like chill the fuck out lol
I can't imagine how bad /vn/ is now with all the AI stuff.
