Banned words for this thread: moege, imouto, sister
trapge otouto brother
>read nakige>heroine is terminally ill>dies at the end>magically returns in the epilogueKino every time. Even though I know how it's going to play out I still cry every time.
Moege where I can fuck my imouto (little sister, for the layman)?
So the excuse MC uses after entering the girl's dorm to hide the fact that he's a boy is that he's a follower of hinyuu-ism (pun on hinduism except hinyuu means flat chest), and it's against his religion to be seen in a state of undress, so they have to leave the room when he's changing. I admit it, I laughed.
mating with my younger female sibling, perhaps even multiple times
>>500130205Kek
Did you ever read a VN and go "I need to try that with my gf"?
>>500130273Not really, I don't like my GF very much and sex with her is pretty miserable.
I need to try that with my little sister
>>500130273yeah i kms all the time
>>500130205that is direspecful SAAAAAARRRR
>>500130273Every time I read an NTRge, brother.
>>500130273No but sometimes I feel H-scenes get a bit too intimate and lovey-dovey to the point where I can't self-insert anymore and it feels uncomfortable like voyeurism so I just skip to the plap plap nakadashi part.
>>500130456>a bit too intimate and lovey-dovey to the point where I can't self-insert anymoreWhat? Why?
>>500130205Why is he infiltrating female spaces? What the fuck is his problem?
Is it morally okay for you to be turned on by secretly watching your childhood friend change her clothes while you're already in a relationship with another girl?
>>500130562Because you aren't the protagonist in a visual novel.
why is visual novel tech so primitive, I basically never see any advanced graphics or functionality in any of the games I played
>>500129842
>>500130676MC is crossdressing because he was conscripted into the robot wars but he doesn't want to fight so he's pretending to be a girl to draft dodge.
>>500130707It's only natural for any healthy young man.
>>500130562I'm incapable of loving other people, so I can't see myself in a situation where someone would unconditionally love me because I would never be able to give love back to them. H-scenes can be interesting to me when they show the characters interacting in unique ways, or when they're really well-written as fap material. But when it gets into more generic ichaicha is where it loses me.
>>500130707Is this a standard waffle nukige or a waffle plotdrama nukige?
>>500130273>having a girlfriend
>>500130456Yeah, I really like the moe parts of moege, like going into dates, the couple being deredere, etc. The only bad part is the H-scenes, they’re too vanilla and boring for me.
>>500130676>heIt's they/them, chud.
>>500130273now that I don't have one, yeah
dropped Nukitashi JP version a while ago, is it worth picking up the EN version now or is the translation shit?
>>500131425Why did you drop the JP version??
>>500131425Why would you even read the translation of a JP VN unless your Japanese reading skills are shit? Translations are a filter, you always lose out on something when you read a translation.
New computer. I know how to export/import registries for previously installed games, but I don't know where I should look in Registry Editor.Anyone know? Where are the vn registries?
>>500131534I don't like how they talk like black people
>>500131534I forgot
>>500131576Sometimes translations are funny and entertaining in their own way even if they're not accurate or faithful.
>>500131425The translation isn't great, but it's still ultimately the same VN. If you didn't like it you still won't like it.
>>500130273Would it be cringe to have your gf cosplay as VN heroines and engage in roleplay sex with her?
>>500131859yeah but it would also be pretty hot so i think it balances out
>kiss CG shows the MC kissing the heroine>kiss CG is a big closeup of the heroine's face puckering her lipsWhich do you prefer?
>>500131859Not if you invite fellow VN bros
>>500131001Standard from what I've played so far but I'm holding out for some homewrecking drama
>>500132067the latter
>>500132067Why not both?
Bweh deserves a kiss CG and a sex scene...
>>500132351Brother, she's 14.
Is ditzy demons good wank material? The art is pretty good
>>500130069>read nukigekino every time.
>>500132067not a cuck so the second
>>500132839Yeah especially the fandisc
>>500132839No, not at all.
>>500130273Have your gf voice the female character(s). That's what I did during my DDLC play through.
>>500130273Occasionally, but usually we get ideas from the erodoujinshi we read and try those.
>>500132839I almost dehydrated myself with the MILF's scenes
>>500132067First one is more hot. The second one doesn't even feel like a kiss scene. Are you supposed to kiss your screen or what?
>>500133060I do this with male characters
>>500132067former, because im not a self-insertfag, i like stories with actual characters
>>500133184>i like stories with actual charactersbut not art drawn by actual human beings?
>>500133246Unfortunately AI is better than VN artists.

So that's why nobody reads VNs here? It's just a bunch of normalfags? I feel betrayed by you guys.
>>500133246this isn't AI art, you complete neanderthal
>>500133512Nobody reads VNs cause nothing good comes out these days. The era of kamige releases is behind us.
>>500133512I read vns...
>>500133060How does it feel to have a gf who can voice the girls in your favorite vn bros? Does it feel nice?
>>500133246Humans terrible at drawing hands too. It's not a flaw unique to AI.
>>500133512>/vn/>reads
>>500133135>Are you supposed to kiss your screen or what?mfw it's a POV kiss CG
>>500133512Having a gf doesn't make you a normalfag. That's like saying having a job/house makes you a normalfag. Dumb bullshit. Housing, food, healthcare, employment, romantic partner are all essential things in life everyone struggles for.
Are there any good fantasy setting political drama and/or thriller VNs?I was originally going to ask "any VNs like Fire Emblem" but while the aesthetic is on point, I was hoping for something with more depth to it, and I wasn't sure if Eushully games would suffice.I guess a lot of otomege are founded on courtly intrigue at base, too.Really, any VN with a fantasy setting that carries itself relatively seriously would be nice.
>>500133756>That's like saying having a job/house makes you a normalfagThat's true dough
>>500133781You kind of answered your own question, there's a LOT of otomege like this.I guess arguably later Rance entries too?
>>500133781Rance IX and X is exactly what you want
>>500133781Old eushilly games. Pre kamidori ones.
>>500133781the oldfag fire emblem games are peak desu
You can never have too many donuts. They literally have 0 calories.
>>500134036Nozomi hands typed this
So Haruka stayed in the dream world after her route in the hopes that Riki would help Kanata too, sucks for her to have to get cucked. At least the other heroines save Komari seemed to fade away after their respective routes. I wonder if any of them retain their memories of dating Riki in the real world after the true ending, Kurugaya at least likely does based on her alternate ending and her whole regret being never finding love.also>arranged marriage plot>>500133781
>>500133781Aiyoku no Eustia, and Yoakena to a lesser extent
>>500133781>>500134220posted too earlywas going to say that Eustia kind of fits that, but it's not a great VN, the Rance series is definitely better
>>500134220I wonder if they knew Riki was having sex with all the girls in the dream.
>>500125486Mitsumin my beloved...
Thank you R07 for helping me to suspend my disbelief on the ineffectiveness of Japanese CPS
>>500135271I can never get into 2000's vns because the character designs look like fat fucking plushies. What were they thinking?
>>500135385it's called SOVL, zoomerbro
>>500135385You WILL like the bug eyes
>>500135271>Japanese CPSMight as well not exist in rural areas.But did they even call them in Futaki's past? I doubt that social services would have a lot of sway in matters concerning highly influential families anywhere you go.
>>500135541I don't remember it being mentioned no
>>500133840That's true. I don't exactly mind playing otomege either, but I'm not exactly sure where to start looking for good courtly intrigue ones. Ideally there'd be a bishoujoge where you just played an ikemen love interest ripped straight out of an otomege, but beggars can't be choosers.>>500133883Will give Rance IX a look. I figured all of them were a little lighter in tone because Rance is a bit of a goofball, his rapes tend to always lead to good outcomes for everyone involved, and the setting seems to run partially on litrpg logic, but I also find Rance endearing in and of himself and know things do get serious in his stories from time to time, like when a demon lord enters the picture. And also god is some sort of giant evil fish that wanks to everyone's suffering or something.If Rance 03 was translated I'd look into that, because I saw Jill once and she looked adorable.>>500133905Will certainly keep those in mind for later if I feel like leaning on machine translation backing my meager Japanese.>>500133956I've actually played Genealogy (read the Oosawa manga too) and Thracia, as well as the remakes of 1-3. Hell, I've played Tearring Saga (and I never get tired of dark dragon cult conspiracies as long as they get a lot of development and the evil dragon bastard god is cool). I started Berwick Saga a few years ago, but I lost my save. Not really looking for gameplay right now, in any case. I guess I just want a similar sort in-depth anime fantasy story that's more focused on its writing above all else.>>500134254Definitely will look into these two. Going by >>500134283 Eustia seems like it's barking up the right tree too.Thank you anons!
>>500135434>>500135452This is what growing up looks like.
>start nukige>almost always absolute slop made for subhuman hylics incapable of higher thought
>>500135385I love 00's art styles
>>500135869really weird how the right is clearly more grounded, detailed, and sharp and yet somehow feels less alive
>>500135869This image reflects the shift in manga/anime art styles more than VNs, but there was a similar evolution for VN art. I still think early 10s VNs looked pretty good, VN only started to look weird and overly "modern" style by the mid-late 10s.
>>500133781kyonyuu fantasy?
>>500135924i once read a waffle after years of not reading nukiges and was somewhat blown away by the plot, the next nukige i read was one hell of a reality check, i had forgotten how bad the average nukige is
I WISH there was a harem route. I can literally count the EOP moege with harem ends on one hand.>Ditzy Demons>Nekopara
>>500136325Which wafflege, if you remember?
>>500136137What caused this change to occur within the span of a few years?
>>500136194Hit the nail on the head.
>read xianxia novels>a lot of them are transmigrations into an otomege/galge>read vns>not a single xianxiagewhat gives?
>>500136494VN art tends to lag behind anime/manga art by a few years when it comes to catching up on art styles, so stuff like the big bug eyes stuck around as trendy for much longer. VNs that actually look like contemporary anime are extremely rare, the only examples I can think of right now are Tanetsumi no Uta for a modern VN and Noel/Satisfaction for a 00's VN.
>>500130205AI art is garbage
>>500136494iirc K-ON and Sword Art Online are largely responsible for the "modern anime artstyle.">smaller eyes>rounder face>less hair highlights>softer colors>little to non-existant hatching>thinner outlines
Blue wafflege?
>>500136494You'd be lying if you said the left looked better
>>500136759I can't wait for all the isekai slop VNs we'll get in a couple years.
>>50013680200's art is peak aesthetic. Too bad most VNs from that era are cursed with eternal 480p/600p.
>>500136938>cursedBlessed*anyone that "needs" more deserves to suffer
>>500136935WDYM? we're already getting those.
>>500135696>If Rance 03 was translated I'd look into that, because I saw Jill once and she looked adorable.They'll probably release it in 2025. It's really good, arguably will be the best translated Rance.
i refuse to read VNs that are 4:3. I'd unironically read 16:9 with cropped CGs than 4:3. I hate black bars.
>>500136487the duble teaming a girl with your bro one
>>500136972I'm fine with low resolutions but there are a lot of people who will just ignore them entirely because of how blurry they are (or how tiny the window is if they play windowed) and that sucks because I want more people to experience these VNs. How many people here actually read Yotsunoha for instance?
this makes me sound like a pretentious oldfag, but i truly think 2000s art had the most soul
>>500135452>>500135434>>500136935>>500137017>>500137114The modernization has begun. Embrace it, chud.
>The power of friendship? That's nice.
>>500136935We're already starting to get them because Isekai/fantasy is one of the safest genres to rely on now that school setting gets your game's chances of getting on Steam shot down. I'd hope we actually just see a shift from school shit to literally any other genres at this point. Fantasy, sci-fi, occultism and cryptids, anything.
>>500137017Where? I'm an EOP. I don't see any.
>>500137064As someone who grew up watching cinemascope movies on 4:3 screens and later watched a lot of 4:3 TV shows on 16:9 screens I never had a problem with black bars.
>>500137145One of the most pointless remakes of all time. There's barely a difference since Koku's art was already great when Hapymaher first came out.
>>500137202as someone on an ultrawide monitor, im fucking sick of all the black bars i see
>>500137173>VN is in a fantasy setting>still takes place in high schoolElevens really, REALLY love high school.
>>500137173Isn't it fucking crazy how a game about an MC owning fantasy slaves who fall in love with him has a higher chance of getting on Steam than a game about an MC being a normal high school student getting in relationship with other high school students?

The brutal punishment from the vicious drill sergeant being 30 pushups is prety funny.
should i watch full metal jacket?
>>500139561I don't think I can even do 10 push ups...
>>500139590It'll make you never want to enter the military, but otherwise yeah.

>>500142851But what if the police are cows too?
>>500140927AI is the future old man
ge where your bros date the heroines you neglect?
>>500142632Explain to her that drinking someone’s spit can be harmful due to the presence of bacteria and viruses that may lead to infections. It can also expose you to allergens or pathogens from oral health issues. If the saliva contains blood, there’s a risk of transmitting bloodborne diseases. Additionally, ingesting foreign saliva can upset gut health and cause gastrointestinal problems.

I was wondering why Muramasa never got an anime since it would've been relatively straightforward to adapt compared to many other VNs and then while I was in the shower I had another thought: Katanagatari is the closest Muramasa will ever get to having an anime adaptation
>>500144315they tried to get a muramasa anime made three times, but were unwilling to censor/alter any of the content in the game, so it kept falling through

>>500147631Close enough.
>>500140927looks like that artist is already doing fanbox, which should be pay well as long as you can market or focus on a neglected yet popular niche.

>>500150961It's erotic though.Yumiko's covered up and Asako just got a new coat cape.
>>500150830Ao by far has the most chemistry with Hairi. She deserved the main heroine spot more than Shiroha. Her side story does explain why she's comfortable with him.I still love Bweh and Kamome more though.
>>500152162erotic != good :)
>>500150825Amane still best.

>>500137359It's their last taste of "having a normal average everyday life" before life comes fast at them. Can you even blame them for wanting to go back to simpler days? It's no coincidence the most popular genres on Japland over the years have been schoolgirl shit or Isekaislop
>>500137359Well, in this case more about the adult teacher fucking young JK girls fetish. Truthfully, we need more male teacher/female high school student romance. It's one of the most erotic romance scenarios.
>>500159050nah its shit
>>500158119Well, plus who wants to fuck old hags over young JK girls? I literally skip any adult heroine routes in any VN. Makes me remember how I skipped all 3 hag heroine routes and only read the the JC heroine route. lol

>>500161525Because it's not that good. It's basically Tsukihime Far Side but shitEOPs don't really lose anything by not reading Shizuku and Kizuato. ToHeart 1 is debatable, it's a good game, but probably will seem slightly boring to modern buta
>>500161718Well Shizuku is even weirder because with denpa being such a huge buzzword among the modern VN crowd you'd think all the classics would get translated.
>>500161717what place hires someone with no experience and a 14 year hole in your resume that isn't something that makes you want to kys everyday for minimum wage
>>500145125That's a powerful Ren.
>>500154571Kamiwrite
>>500162005AmazonFucking serious. In here our minimum wage is $17. Amazon hires people for $19 if seasonal or $21 for full time. And after three years you get a pay increase to $25.It's not that bad. It's slowly killing my body but I can't really be picky.
>>500161826"Classics" for vns not always equals good, unfortunately. Both Shizuku and Kizuato aren't that good, in addition to being ancient. Paradise lost is technically a chuuni classic, but realistically, it's not that well-written, especially compared to how Masada writes now. There are some writers that barely changed over years, like Shumon, but for the most part older works are just not as good.
Any VN heroines in need of rape correction?
>>500161528i already hate the original so why not read the remake
>>500160734What cage do you do your 2 years in?
>>500163650Just don't forget to take your pills.
>>500164402don't worry my schizophrenia is used only for good

>>500137359>>500159050>>500166859Translation...
>>500166859Yes!
>>500130712The whole point is to self insert into the MC. That's why MC's are mostly unvoiced. The MC is the vessel for the reader.
>>500167009Just play the shit with MTL methods faggot. These days forcing the English tranny localizations only rule makes no sense.

>Steins Gate Reboot announcedWhat is this, haven’t they milked it enough at this point…
>>500168808Anon Code flopped. Chiyomaru needs to go back and milk S;G for money. It's the same with C;C.Can't be excited since it's all a simulation and it doesn't matter.
>>500168746I wish I could suffer from selective amnesia so I could read Haretaka again
