good vns if i cant read?
>>570197907tl note: "boo, we want the Rokuhara onahole!"
For me? It's clit expansion.
this is so fucking cringei had no major complaints about the VN until this moment
Monkeys will be THE agp game which will be spammed like manosaba and LiL
>>570198127Filtered, that moment was HFK.
>>570198235Why do some men want to look like a cute girl
>>570198235Finally this will be my first agpge, I've avoided this genre for too long.
>>570199342waitbefore you play thatplay manosaba
>>570198127You unironically don't understand Steins;Gate.
Top class agpge are all still untranslated for some reason.
Halt! This is the /vn/ border. Present your documents for inspection!
>>570199643refer to >>570197862
Ema from Monkeys
>>570198262agree to disagree>>570199570there's "understanding" and "enjoying"
>>570198127Is this near the beginning?
>>570199621Name three.
>>570199678She looks like a monkey.
>the apocalypse happens on the night you're proposing to your girlfriend>dig her out of a collapsed building but she has amnesia and also Casca disease where she screams hysterically whenever she sees you >wander around hoping to die until you get to a place where people take you in and you start a new life>meet your girlfriend, she still doesn't remember you and also now she's married and has a kid with some random guyHow could KEY treat a bro like this, this is torture.
Life would be better if Sakuraba Ema was real.
>>570199684You got filtered by the original as well?
>>570199678I don't know if you've read Monkeys!! but the comparison is more apt than you know.
>>570200134Wtf, she also witches out too?
So they'll release Monkeys with an R18 version but not Noratoto that's retarded
Do chuds make you you witch out?
>>570200251I don't think that they ever confirmed they're going to release Monkeys!! at all, let alone whether it'll be 18+ or all-ages. At this point I'm pretty sure Harukaze's dead and we're not getting either.
>>570200521Stop being so slow Moeanon, Shiravune just announced Monkeys a couple hours ago
>>570199684What is it that you don't understand? Have you not seen Okabe acting like this over the course of hours at this point? This is his return to form.
育乳
I imagine that none of us would be shitposting here if we witched out because we'll just wreck our keyboards/touchscreens with our fingernails.
>>570200521???
>>570200363>>570200630I mean if you read Manosaba basically anything makes them witch out. They witch out at the slightest provocation, or sometimes no provocation at all.
>>570200591>>570200632Holy SHITFinally some kamige around here!That's a day one buy, goddamn.I'm going to listen to the kamiOP again a few more times in celebration.
How many sisters will Monkeys create?
oppai sugite....
Monkeys is going to flop
>>570200895Karen only likes gorillas, not monkeys
>>570200632I am dropping LiL to read this kino
>>570200987Probably, yeah. Most VNs do.
where's my triple pairing though
>>570198127>this is so fucking cringeThat's just the whole S;G series. Never understood the hype.
Monkeys will only sell 65k copies.
>>570201225Kagami will have an update on that during their announcements stream apparently
>>570201062
>>570201225We're all reading the simulrelease
>>570201225The only triple pairing here is you x me x another anon ;)
>>570201460this would genuinely be the worst sexual experience of any human being's life
Someone uploaded 9 nine artesia prologuehttps://youtu.be/eCe2WUjUgeA?si=yik_JWRmNOKaOETD
>>570201375Is it actually good? I need to know because if it's going to be TL'd soon I have to read it before the TL comes out or there's no point.
>>570201375>>570201460this is why i hate jops
>>570201536>All-ages>Nekopara writerI don't even have to watch that to know it's dogshit
>>570200923we do be loving oppai
>>570201667
Good morning /vn/.
>>570201782Good morning queen
AGP GODS WON
>anons keep posting oppai spy designs, spoiling me on the VN before it's even outplease stop I wanted to go in blind ;_;>>570201667b-but we love you...
>>570201556Yes, until it gets translated and then it was never good in the first place
>>570201834How can a boy have an ass this fat?
>>570201903The best VN ever is translated.
>>570201556It was supposed to be a simulrelease and then got cucked by Steam last second. Better get reading
>>570201990BST remains untranslated though
>when you always go for doormats
>>570202161That's the second best thoughever.
>>570201847>we
>>570201990True.
>>570202265Would this work?
>>570201834Only thing "agape" is going to be your asshole once I'm done with you
>>570202374*gulp*
>>570201717>>570200923This spy one is looking like the best so far. As long as the cgs are as appealing as these portraits anyway.
>>570202374at least use a screenshot from the vn, c'mon
>general is full of femboys and gays
>>570202161Bro some jops prefer LiL to BST. Settle down.
>>570202490Femboys are kino though
>>570202490And Zakuro. I like her socks.
>>570202451I just don't know what you do with the spy theme, though. Admittedly they used the bunny theme to extend to a general casino theme and gambling theme, which is kind of pushing it for bunnies but what are you gonna do.>>570202490So which are you?
>>570202524I think anyone comparing the two has read neither though
>>570202524Mental retardation is a common trait among JOPs, we know
>>570202610Post your socks NOW
>>570202686That's just the scat-jibros. Don't bully them too hard.
if only i still had my miku slippers
>>570200632>monkeys!¡ translation have fun bros its pretty good
>SherrylingWeird localization choice.
>>570202852What was the original?
>>570202852You critiquing this right now should just die too
>>570202840Those sound kinda hot too.
>>570202962Kill yourself, faggot
>>570202945>tfw want to read this VN but can't say its abbreviated name without looking racist
>>570202891>yousei-san"Lazy bones" would've worked or something idk
Read Mahoyo as a teen and recently noticed how much it parallels Hegel.mahoyo isn't just a story about magic. It's about becoming. Aoko, Alice, and Soujuurou develop through conflict and relationships rather than discovering fixed identities, which mirrors Hegel's idea that reality and selfhood emerge through contradiction and change. Aoko embodies becoming, Alice represents resistance to change, and Soujuurou acts as the outsider whose perspective forces both to confront their assumptions. Their growth happens through each other, not in isolation.The decline of "Mystery" in the Nasuverse also resembles Hegel's view of history moving from myth toward rationality. Even the Fifth Magic doesn't provide final knowledge. It expands awareness of what remains unknown.Whether Nasu intended it or not, Mahoyo can be read as a deeply Hegelian work. Identity, knowledge, and reality are never finished, only continuously becoming. The true Mystery isn't magic. It's the incompleteness of human existence.
>>570202962they were these
>>570202984I just need to be horny in the eroge general.
>>570203108Sherryling is better than that.
>>570203152>Read Mahoyo as a teen>teen
>>570203172You just need to commit suicide in front of your family, insufferable faggot.
>>570203179How?
>>570203236She's a stronger woman than you'll ever be
>>570203179It sounders cuter for sure, just nitpicking here.
>>570203179Sherryling also was a shitpost from the English Manosaba posters before the translation.>>570203153It gets points for tickling the nerd fetish, but they have to come off when things get more serious. Sorry.
>>570203179Sherryling doesn't make any sense or have anything to do with laziness or not working.
>>570203231Modern Nasu audience is filled with teenagers so who cares
>>570203376Nobody who was a teenager when the manosaba TL came out should be posting here. That means you're 22 at most, i.e. not a real human being
>>570203476>when the manosaba TL came outYou mean last month?
I forget how long VN openings can be, Im busy with work a lot so im on off with a lot of the things I like so ive been very rarely reading here and there and I just got an opening mv after at least 4 months lmao
>>570203680what vn
>>570203476Calm down unc. Nothing wrong with teenagers posting here
if only i got groomed by a rich oneechan
holy kek this really is Danganronpa
>>570203710Again its mostly because I barely get around to reading vns in my free time (i should be sleeping right now to be honest) but its just funny that realistically I think I first booted this up like 4 months ago and I just saw the opening mv. I also read them slower just overall though because I stop a lot and usually take a bunch of screenshots
>>570202852Suren't sounding like gaisir speak.
>>570204059It's danganronpa but with one minigame but also if you get it wrong or just feel like clicking wrong dialogue on purpose because you want to read all the text and see funny reactions to wrong choices you have to hold the skip button and wait 1 to 4 real world minutes to get back to where you were.
>>570204059people said that a few months ago
>>570204136post screenshot 2202
>>570204246Here you go.
>>570204471
>>570202630The theming has always been kind of weak. It's all basically just surface level outfits, or in the case of the succubi, horns and a tail. The general character archetypes get carried across the games for the most part anyway.Like, the succubi barely did any succubus things and when they did it was usually because of the magic book, which at that point, they might as well not even be succubi in the first place.
>>570204471Nooo
>they keep falling for it
>>570202490First time opening the thread because I wanted to save the op. How long until I turn gay?
>>570204806you already are
>>570204834Fuck.
>>570204651You are cute.>b-butYou are cute.
>>570204651How pink is your dick pinkbro
>>570198075LiL
what are top 5 cutest vn readers of all time?
>>570205025Ironically LiL is the worst choice for this since it deliberately tries to softlock you if you don't pay any attention
Sissiest general award
>>570198127You have awful taste if you had no complaints about SG0, even prior to that scene
>>570205337I will softlock my penis in your anus, LiL faggot
>>570203231I read FSN when I was 17
stop being gay NOW
>>570205512So did I, but that was two decades ago.
>>570205528Let them be gay this month
This is our month
stop being gay in TWENTY DAYS
Need VNs where heroines deliberately place their fat ass on your face and suffocate you
>>570205727If you suffocate you die. That would be a short vn.
>>570205429SG0 is flawed but it's still better than 99% of visual novels.
>>570206458Most vns are moe/nuki/evn slop so not a high bar
What does your favorite character think about pride month?
>>570205572jii-san...
Good night, /vn/
>everyone's asleep
I hate it when h-scenes are written in 3rd person.
>>570207984Is Tiny Mihiro asleep?
>>570207984
I like it when the entire VN is in third person
I like "Other perspective"
Sex with others means sex with me
We need a daily erp session to get the general going.
>>570206608Ririko approves of homosexual relations between women, at least.

What out of this list do we expect Kagami to actually announce?
>>570208983Why does yuzu approve rimjobs but not 3p
>>570209889all in on a 5th translation of cross channel
Monkeys will save this general.
>>570210080It will create so many femanons...
>>570210080No we need a bigger VN to be translated for that
>>570209889Senshinkan for that sweet lucid dreaming kino.
>>570210132LiL is the biggest vn you'll ever read. it just so happens to also be the most well written one. Try it.
>>570210132Hamidashi Creative is never coming out.

What if I convinced Selebus to hold a q&a session on /vn/? Would you guys want that? Would you actually act nice and ask serious questions?
>>570211078i'll leave the today's shitposting to you fellas, gotta go afk for 24h soon>>570211113stop talking about yourself in third person
>>570211113LiLcord has a #faq channel where any sub can ask Selebus questions whenever they want, there's no need for a Q&A on /vn/. Also dear god I hope he never looks at this place
>>570211113why would he agree to that and why would we want thathe's already done plenty of q&a
>>570211151>gotta go afk for 24h soonAre you giving birth?
>>570211003yep, i feel very invigorated
>>570210937Go to sleep, Lowerc*ser, and have a crazy bad dream.

Is this a real thing? After searching online I couldn't find any specific Japanese hospital that had been exposed to commit tax evasion like this. The religious corp tax loophole is known and well-reported online, but I can't find any actual cases that involve hospitals.
>>570211502sir, this is floodcord
Let's play truth or dare. I'll start, I choose truth.
>>570211859give me your moms credit card number
>>5702122455523 9042 7612 4489 My turn now, what do you choose?
>>570211702>The religious corp tax loophole is known and well-reported online, but I can't find any actual cases that involve hospitals.The writer probably just heard about the tax loophole and didn't do a ton of research before writing this scene. You're not supposed to fact check your eroge, mate.
>>570213798Was the fan tl confirmed to be mtl or is it just Aisir doing Aisir things?
does jerking off a lot make your penis grow?
>>570200659The bad endings aren't canon tho.
>>570201980What if they made a Monkeys! like VN in the setting of Rokuhara, but instead of infiltrating a school, the androgynous protagonist pretends to be a tsurugi?
>>570213952the troonslator was confirmed using claude code for translating jp to en in general and privating his posts before the match dropped, do with this information whatever you will
>>570201834What if they made a Monkeys-like VN where the androgynous hero must pretend to be a witch in order to infiltrate the prison manor?
>>570214171are you saying that we can't use the bad ends as evidence the girls would witch out?
>>570209889My guess would be Tsuriotsu, since they're already releasing a navel ge, as well as their company mascots being conveniently named after the MC and main heroine of the game makes it kind of obvious.
Thoughts on witchphobia?
>>570214970this was sawa x3's final eroge before she went full mainstream right?
I only know tsurugi-kyoufushou (TL: tsurugiphobia).
>>570215347Are you afraid of living armors? Why? They don't even exist irl. Meanwhile witches do.
>>570214959Yes.
LiL accomplishes something that very little visual novels do: writing humans. It's like tasting soup, the average vn is a bland unseasoned one that has not taste and the consistency of mush, while LiL is a rich soup with plenty of condiments and vegetables that provide a tasty flavor that will stay with you for the rest of the day. I know which one I am choosing.
>>570213952Nothing confirms that he used AI when he worked on Manosaba. The translation itself doesn't read like MTL at all. I say it's human
blah blah blah, still not reading your patreon scam.
>>570215951Gif related was literally me with LiL. It sent me back to my teenage years when I've read my first vn and it revived my love for the medium.
>>570215951>scam>Is made free quickly and is regularly updated
>>570216094>>570216129blah blah blah, still not reading your patreon scam.
>>570216094Me too. Reminds me of a time when reading was fun
>>570216218I've give lil 10 on vndb just to spite you, I hope you get fucked by a huge dog
>>570213805Also apparently there's a guy who resigned from the Roman Curia in 1125 because he joined a group of Paracelsian alchemists, but Paracelsus himself wasn't born until 1493...Did I read this wrong?idk there's something fun about fact-checking some random fact eroge writers put in their games
>>570216218>still not reading kamigeYour loss
Post the Sui + Lapla fusion, that one is hot.
>>570216462This. I haven't been able to enjoy vns after finishing subahibi a few years ago but LiL changed that . It's hard to believe that such a gem of a vn came from just a dude.
>>570216563I am reading Umineko though fucking ever
>>570216129>Is made free quicklyAnd it shows
>>570216473...and yet it's still not even a top 50 evn, behind snoot game and the german pedo gamereally makes you think...
>>570217559People can't understand genius. It's basically the indie arthouse of the medium
>>570217683>It's basically the indie arthouse of the mediumso overrated pseud garbage? qed
>>570217198Careful, Umineko will turn you into a witch.
>>570216524My eyes must have glazed over during this scene because I didn't even think about that.
>>570217867That sounds cool, I want to learn spells
>>570217724Sounds like cope. LiL has proposed some theories that might revolutionize the way men think.
>>570218713let's hear them
>>570216524I think the writer just made that up to yap about something. I can't find anything that fits or even from a different time and shifted around
>>570199834xD
>>570218813I KNEW that you were going to say this so all I can answer is RAFO=read and find out. You can't even call this bullshit since you know that vns are capable of this. Hell you might even get an itch to read it just to see those theories for yourself. I've won.
>>570219082>I KNEW that you were going to call out my bullshit
>>570218187The more I try to read this paragraph the less it makes sense. I don't know whether the writer was just making stuff up or the English translation botched the dates somehow
>>570219158It's not that deep little bro
>>570217724>tfw your brain is expanding
>>570219128Cope. That's all I have to say: cope. You cope, he/she/it copes, they cope.
>nooo you HAVE to read it to find out this INCREDIBLE secret life-changing philosophy>i can't tell you, you HAVE TO READ IT>READ IT PLEASE
>>570219158You can track down the same line in the Japanese version if you want to compare. It's probably just supposed to make her sound smart.
>>570215046If you want more copium the CEO's profile picture on discord is this.
>>570219487I don't really get that either. You should read it because it's a very entertaining and funny game. If you get something more out of it, good for you.
>mfw reading EVNsloppa
>>570219992Kek, idblt
>>570219082concession accepted. i'd gladly ask chatgpt but sadly you indie kusoge isn't in the training data
>>570219992NOOOO BRO ITS KINO YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME
>>570219487kastel wrote a whole essay on it, just read that if you're desperate for someone to say something about its philosophy
>>570219853>funnyThe humor is not for my tastes tbqh
>>570220125
>>570220181I wouldn't knock it unless you've tried it. I thought something similar myself actually. If you have tried reading it and didn't like it, that's fine, though. Everyone has different tastes.
I look like the LiL mc irl so I won't read it because I am not a narcissistic bitch
>because I'm a redditor
I look like Ema irl so I won't read Manosaba because I am not a narcissistic bitch.
>>570220428Do you also have a massive penis?
>>570219531Ok thanks yeah the translation is pretty much accurate so the writer just missed this one
>>570220428it's not a self-insertge
>>570220574Sorry bro but your question can only have 1 answer, ask your mom
>>570220658I asked and she said no.
>>570220125since ema is prepubescent in manosaba this is technically possible
>>570220621Every ge is a self-insertge if you put in the effort
What's the IQ requirement for understanding LiL?
>>570220914You have to be able to follow the progress mod and solve the puzzles.
>>570220914You understand more of it the higher your IQ, with no limit.
>>570220978>solve the puzzles.I've replayed ao oni because of floodsis and that one had bullshit puzzled that I've managed to solve so I am probably ready.
>>570221009Will I reach a point when I understand it better than the author?
>>570220607You wouldn't believe how sloppy some VN scripts are. Happens all the time that they just convert using the IME and put the wrong kanji in.
Stop lusting over Ema.
>>570221335Real writers use kanji keyboards
>>570221310Can you understand someone you don't know better than they understand themselves?
>>570221109I've gotten to two of them so far. The first one was pretty simple. The second was more bullshit and required you to remember specific things and not miss a particular scene, otherwise it would be impossible. So my advice is to just use the progress mod and make sure you do everything.
>>570221554Freud would say yes
>>570221531Will I die if I keep lusting.
>>570198127okay this sort of vaguely makes up for itwhen his chuuni actually has a point, even if it's distracting/confusing peoplepointlessly chuuni-ing out in front of his friends is still just cringe
>>570222624>pointlessly chuuni-ing out in front of his friends is still just cringeI do that all the time irl and my friends think I am cool
>>570198127I only had major complaints about the VN until that moment
>>570222734Oh yeah? Name six.
>>570200659I do this hand gesture everyday IRL
>>570222624why did this happen though
>flood tranny melting about Lil AGAINTop kek.
>>570223137explained literally one minute later
>>570222713You forgot to take your pills again......
>>5702233431 minute in s;g or 1 minute in our world? it's always tricky with time stories ngl
Does Flood do anything else besides crying every thread?
>>570223340The confirmed haters are:-flood-det-a moebuta-spic-kun
floodMONG lost.
>>570223340Tbh this time it's actually a good thing, we should keep evn shit out of here. They are diluting our culture.
>>570223632your "culture" is spamming umimasa shit and untranslated off topic garbage, flood tranny.
>>570223614What a team...

>>570223736I am not flood, Idk if he is even here and of course the current state of the general is not good but why should we make it worse? I doubt people here would have accepted LiL back in the 2010s

>>570223137wait, is this route the true ending route? i thought i still had two other routes to seeif this is how the game ends, then yeah s;g0 is a big fat 6/10. maybe lower.
>>570223632>>570223857How many vns have you read this year?
>>5702239472, I know it's not much but I will recover this summer, when I'll do most of my reading. Why are you trying to change the subject though?
>>570203152Nasu did it again.
>>570223857EVNs peaked in popularity on 4chan in the 2010s with Katawa Shoujo though
>>570224028You mean why I'm trying to keep the thread on topic?
>>570224168fuck off, retard
>>570224226hi, hidoi
>>570224170On-topic thread is on /jp/ now
>>570223917so far this is the only ending that didn't feel like a "you lose, bad end" so maybe there's still more to seebut i have like eighty questionsthe biggest of which:how did rintaro go from 2036 back to 2011, two weeks at a time, when there was a period of time between 2011 and 2025 when he was captured and experimented on and tortured onwhat version of 2011 did he reach where everybody knows suzuha is daru's daughter, and kagari is mayuri's daughter? even maho knows. i remember so many timelines where they made a big deal about hiding those details from people, and not one where they just told everyone. do we just assume "well it's been about six months since all the stuff we saw, they naturally figured it out eventually"
>>570224168>>570224305/vn/ culture in question btw. spamming off-topic japshit pics

>>570224691>>570224802>>570224818i googled "man wearing off shoulder top" and there literally aren't any images of this in existencebecause it wouldn't work. it would fall off.
>>570224883LiLCHADS have the power of reddit though and reddit nowadays mogs 4chan in terms of influence
>>570224960We love trannies here
>>570224912GOOOOOG
>>570224691As a prank, no one told the artist of Steins;Gate that Luka was supposed to be a boy. When they received stills that had Luka in girls' clothing, they just wrote them into crossdressing scenes. This scene was too hard to explain away though.

>/vn/ culture in action.
>>570221551is this how masada writes?
>>570217559Snoot game is kino thoughbeit. I think the majority of /vn/ would probably like it if they played it. Very traditional kino with a tight friend group, simple drama, fast pace, short overall length, and strong romantic throughline. Katawa Shoujo-coded.
>>570220327She's gonna milk them all no diff.

>>570225606Alsir is fucking the mods behind the scenes. This shit confirms that.
