Steins;Gate. It's the only one I've played that was compelling at all. The next best one is probably Aoishiro, I got pretty sucked into the world of that one.

Hunie Pop

Unteralterbach

Tsukihime

Incredibly under rated too. I feel like the people that prefer F/SN to it all went in expecting another VN loaded with battle scenes and never nade it past the near side routes, which are the worst part.

Dramatical Murder. The music was the best part.

Teaching Feelings.

YU;NO

It may be old, but it's a masterpiece.

>YU;NO

YU-NO with a dash. Fucking Steins;Gate

Depends. Danganronpa is probably my favorite series if we take the "mostly visual novel but with some other gameplay things" genre into the equasion as well. If we're talking pure visual novel, then Root Double: Before Crime After Days shot straight to the top of my list recently.

Today I will remind them.

YU-NO
Fata Morgana
umineko

Ace Attorney series
Ghost Protocol

That game was stupid without a guide. It just gave you a ton of different places you could go and left you to it. Trial and error if you didn't end up in the right place at the right time.

Time to wait two years for kara no shoujo 3 and then three years for it to be translated

I agree. But the story and characters are great, and its hardly the only VN to be a deathtrap without a guide.

>and its hardly the only VN to be a deathtrap without a guide.
That doesn't excuse the garbage design.

Max Payne

>Tsukihime

Yes.

Aurora Memoria. Beautiful soundtrack, short yet that just makes it all the more bittersweet ;_;

youtube.com/watch?v=FV4RxtxVOEk

Why does JAST take years to translate less than 10 hours of reading?

Okay. Just saying you play enough VNs you see that kind of shit so often you don't tend to start without a guide on hand if you need it, and you definitely save at every interactive point.

Majikoi and Majikoi S

Have you seen that menu system? God damn that is a good menu system. They give you more than most modern AAA games in there. Shit man, dat options menu.

This. Comfiest VN ever.

saya no uta and tsukihime
i have yet to play phenomeno or kara no shoujo
i like my VNs being paranormal themed
anybody know good paranormal ones?

I don't read that garbage.

YU-NO
Steins gate was pretty good too though

Not so much the first two, but the Heavens Feel route of Fate/stay night is similar to Tsukihime with that paranormal/metaphysical tone.

I still cry.
Is right, game is a pain without a guide.

Funny how your endorsement of something as simple as a menu system prompted me to look it up and torrent it to give it a shot.

seconding Majikoi

I want pedocuck out of my Cred Forums

Symphonic Rain
Al fine is best route. Torta is best girl.

Sengoku Rance

...

Ever17 and Muv-Luv/MLA. I will chop through a chainlink fence with a reinforced trowel to play those for the first time again.

Starless, male on futa is my fetish.

Katawa Shoujo

Any of the NitroChiral + games
999 series
Ace Attorney series

Saimin Enbu because i'm a loser who loves Sayori's art but wish she didn't make it big with Nekopara

I'll get back to you on that after I finish reading Funbag Fantasy.

How can I become autistic enough to enjoy visual novels?

nah, she's a fucking crazy ass attentionwhore

Higurashi probably.

Haven't played many though, just the ones that are often recommended on here.

i wonder why there aren't many visual novels on tablets and phones, its the fucking perfect platform to play vn's

i played KS and va-11ha-ll-a on a windows tablet and its godlike

I have no idea. I'm playing through Baldr Heart right now though.

Is Subahibi as good as they say?

Read it yourself and find out, because I sure don't know.

fuck you nigger

Starless.

Marie a cute.

Said best, not worst

I only beat Arcueid's route so far and thought it was pretty good, how much better is far side?

They probably don't sell well compared to PC releases to bother. I know there's some like Steins;Gate and Clannad but the smaller guys tend to stay away from it.
Windows tablets are great. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a cheap chinese one to anyone that like vns.

Your taste is shit. The worst VN is "Cosplay Alien"

>Tsukihime
>Underrated
I disagree, it's pretty well received. The only real complaint is that the art is dated if you play it nowadays.

The Kohaku and Hisui routes are way better. All the other routes paint a more vivid picture of the story.

Remember11. Umineko is a close second, but something about remember 11 keeps sucking me back into it. Probably because it's such a well structured story.

Kamidori was my favorite all-around, but Turkeyhandle was my favorite for the plot.

To be honest, it does give you hints where each character might be but I do agree that it was pretty much bullshit for most of the time.

Such a shame the other games never got translated, the story was so terrible but the actual game play was amazing

Ever 17 for the sole fact that it's an interedting story that only works as a visual novel. Simply doesn't work in any other media.

Muv-Luv

Higurashi is also my favorite. I've even read it in Japanese. Even though the text is bland as fuck and repetitive, the story and characters are so heartfelt. Even after the Umineko clusterfuck I still can't hate him.

I have it halfway downloaded. Is it good?

little busters is my only 10/10 visual novel and only the 2nd 10/10 score ive ever given something

the only other 10/10 i have is the first tokyo ghoul manga

I hear Higurashi text is used as copypasta on 2ch because of how bad it is

Akiha and the maids have easily the best routes in the game.

>Tumblr Ghoul

It's like a hentai version of The Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

tokyo ghoul is a masterpiece, good story, great art, good characters

tokyo ghoul: re isn't as good, the story is all over the place

While it was pretty poorly paced and had a shitty ending, Muv Luv's probably the most entertaining VN series I've read

Phoenix Wright

Muv Luv Alternative is my favorite by far.
Like it has some really dumb moments and all but it's high points were so fucking good that I'd still probably say it's 10/10.

It also makes me pretty mad that AoT gained the huge popularity and got the super popular anime and games despite it being HEAVILY based on MLA and doing just about everything that MLA did except worse.

Basically I just want a Muv Luv Video game

>No sound

Why even post CHOMP without sound?
youtube.com/watch?v=JnkHzJz7xgs

My nigger

God, Remember11 was so fucking good. The suspense is unmatched. I read it a second time last year and it still held up to my nostalgia. The soundtrack is also GOAT.

>Dracula Saber

Elizasleyn best girl.

Tsukihime remake and Melty Blood HD when?

Tsukihime. I've read about 30 or so though, so I'm probably missing a better one, and have plenty of apparently GOTY ones in my backlog.

Has anyone gone through pic related completely? I'm still mad at the animoo ending and want to choke a bitch (you know which one :^)). I need to see justice served.

Arcueid and Akiha best Tsuki girls. If you disagree, your opinion is wrong.

Is this Kara no Soujo? I still have it in my backlog, but I don't think my heart is ready.

I've felt like shit after finishing a couple of bittersweet VNs, I fear KnS is going to kill me.

Arcueid is good, but Akiha is fucking shit dude.

But user, Hisui is objectively better.

I started with the rich girl route and couldn't give a shit about it. I really tried to like it, got to the point where she gets pregnant and dropped it soon after.

Are the other 2 routes good?

The rich girl route was really lame. The other 2 are much more entertaining.

Friendly reminder that there will NEVER be a Melodiana route.

Remake in 2023

Seiba?

>i'm okay with this

No swords allowed here

Are there any decent vns in English, about Knights and fantasy and shit? Preferably not just porn

I don't like lolis so not sure if I'll try the doped girl, but maybe Aeka's will be good.

youtube.com/watch?v=J1jaBt2gWGI

Is any news out?

Umineko.

No VN has topped this for me, yet.

The ending was superb, fuck all you contrarian niggers.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into but it still has me. I know my choice is pretty normie tier compared to other VN's but despite reading quite a few, only KiraKira left a mark. I still haven't done the routes for the other girls, I just can't

YU-NO is my favorite too. I still listen to the OST regularly.

Was some nice dumb fun.

Pic related.

First game/vn that actually horrified me.

Planetarian, every other one I read had shit pacing

Hadaka Shitsuji is the best written VN I have ever played.

>turkeyhandle
did you google that? i refuse to believe any newfag on nu-Cred Forums even remembers ARCADE BUMSTEAD FROM PORKSLOPE TURKEYHANDLE

From what I understand you just did Kirari's route?
do all routes and go back to Kirari's to get the secret ending, you'll thank me later. Oh, and play the sequels, they're good too.

Recomend me some utsuge and/or nakige please

No, I'm an oldfag, I've been here since summer.

Sorry I should have been clearer I did get the true end but I skipped through everyone else to get it so I don't count them as played nor will I ever go through them properly I have the sequel downloaded but I've yet to play it, I want to run through KiraKira again before I do.

Because JAST has a retarded business model of prioritizing physical releases and only putting out games during convention season. It's also why they have to censor their games and release a patch later because shipping to certain states or countries with the loli/scat/bestiality or whatever intact violates obscenity laws. MangaGamer has the right idea, JAST needs to fucking die already so MangaGamer can buy their licenses.

Is that the BL VN that got a lot of people riled up since it was their first BL VN and it was more intense than what they were expecting?

been years since i played a VNs.

my favorittes are fate stay/night, tsukihime, little busters, family project, kara no shoujo (still not played the second game) and swan song.

pic related was my first VN. remember liking it.

are they still got VN still being made/translated?

My Nigger. Love Turkeyhandle as well.
They will never release the Remake, will they?

It will. Do it anyway.

my waifu.

I didnt expect such amazing taste.
>Umineko
Simple, R11 was better because Umineko shit all over itself with the answer. Remember11 ran with it's mystery and didnt try to be realistic. Umineko tried to be plausible and just came off as retarded, creating a setting where everyone must be lobotomized to be so ignorant. R11 didnt have retards, just the cast getting pulled around by other forces. It also had better atmosphere where you freeze to death on a mountain, while also worrying about getting murdered in SPHIA. Ending is a letdown, but it's open and mysteries lose charm when answered e.g Jack the ripper being a mentally ill jew who escaped because a Jew didnt want to testify against another Jew.

Then you havent seen the true end. Beat all routes then play Kirari again.

Soon :^)

Full of Saber clones just in case you missed her.

>not posting best butlers Toudou or Sakuma

Tumblr hated it because it was a rape nukige. It wasn't the sappy love story they expected.

That doesn't explain why they haven't released Sumaga. They announced it at least 5 years ago, and it was already translated.

>that one scene were you can miss the big led by saying hello to the jackass nurse.

i loved the scene did not seem impotent when you first see it.

What a beautiful series is underrated

I surely do not. Any favourite routes?
Gotta be Akiha closely followed by Kohaku. Shit was glorious.

they making a third? im still not played the seconded game yet.

is it good?

dose it have good porn?

Man I really love Majikoi. Might not be the best but its my favorite for sure. Got so excited when I looked up torrents for a friend and found out A-1 was translated.

Drunk sexhair is best.

Try Chie's route atleast, it's childhood friend done well. If it wasnt for feeling bad for Kirari due to forced drama it would be my canon end.
Deardrops is shit btw.

Post screens

>it's childhood friend done well

Huh, I might try then but it's going to take me a while.

Fate/heaven's feel I guess
I didn't really like the first two routes, all it did was pander to Shirou, Saber and Rin. Once HF got started and Shirou actually had to man up and become a hero, not a seigi no mikata, I liked it a lot more.

Other than that Saya no Uta, cause its short and good. Other VNs I have read are just hours long and I don't have time to really finish them so I end up forgetting shit.

played Majikoi when it was unfinished (all the guys route were not translated. same with miyako) and S was unfinished as well i think?

should i try and read it again?

Chris for best girl.

>Umineko shit all over itself with the answer
It's been a long time since I've used this image.

>get on vent or I'll have you bent

DELETE THIS!

>are they still got VN still being made/translated?
Himawari and Subahibi (both of which are considered some of the best VNs of all time by the Japanese speaking community) are about to get English releases, so yes.

Don't mind me, just posting the actual best butler.

Sell me on this

these are some good opinions but you misspelled Fal for best girl. it's alright, we all make typos.

Translated? Narcissu.

talk about underrated

>good theme that I haven't seen used before (Gliding)
>gorgeous visuals
>amazing OST
>great waifus

I fucking loved it

Fan disc translation fucking WHEN

Being a sucker for Zero no Tsukaima, I played all three VNs for the PS2. They are pretty easy to understand (JLPT 4 here) and nice for fans of the franchise.

>he can't wait another 7 years + translation time

Do the Ace Attorney games count? If so, that.

And if they don't count, does Danganronpa count? If so, that.

And if they both don't count, what about 999? If so, that.

And if none of them count, Ghost Trick is my last resort.

If none of the titles I just wrote count, then the genre is shit.

Rondo Duo

Here you go dude.

God damn, look at all this shit. I can't get over it!

Kuki was my favorite part of that series and I felt bad for him on Wanko route

Kamen rider Tesla was fun too. Think we're getting another steampunk game translated soonish.

Well I'm no expert but I think that producing physical releases takes a lot more time and effort than digital releases. That or they're just fucking lazy. Either way they need to die.

>It also makes me pretty mad that AoT gained the huge popularity and got the super popular anime and games despite it being HEAVILY based on MLA and doing just about everything that MLA did except worse.
>Basically I just want a Muv Luv Video game
The exact same thing has been said regarding Gunparade March and MLA. If you really want to play a MLA video game, learn JP and play GPM.

...

>Gotta be Akiha closely followed by Kohaku. Shit was glorious.
Akiha has my favorite route from what I remember (together with Arcueid's), but I last read through it about 7 years ago. I need to reread it.

Arcueid's route itself is ok, and it's paired with Akiha's as my favorites because I like Arc, while Akiha's route itself was glorious.

Muv luv alternative

my waifu has turned into saber!


ITS BULLSHIT!

Good taste, my fellah.
I think I read it back in 2007 or 08, but I re-read the Near-Side Routes last year. It aged decently, despite Ciel's Route being my least favourite.

Not my favourite, but its underrated as fuck.
store.steampowered.com/app/413870/?snr=1_7_15__13

I'm just into this kind of hentai...Is Gurochan still alive? Was dead af when I last visited it.

We all know that pain, breh.

Danganronpa counts so it's all good

I wouldn't consider any of the others VN though

How would you describe it in 1 sentence?

>If we're talking pure visual novel, then Root Double: Before Crime After Days shot straight to the top of my list recently.
My nigga

Boring slice of life.

...I'm not the guy you quoted, though.

I didn't really care for Curry's route, or Curry herself. I only liked her true ending because best girl is there.

But yeah it's definitely worth another read up.

If Rad Shiba's game counts then Ace Attorney counts

>Danganronpa counts
>but not 999
u wot

Danganronpa isn't a VN. 999 is the only one I would consider a VN.

Did you read Kagetsu Tohya yet?
You get some great parts of Arcade's background in that and a conclusion to Akiha's True End as well. It complements Tsukihime very well!

Root double was ok, kinda predictable, but some well done creepy parts. Hated the choice syste, hated Before, hated the flashbacks in general and hated the high school cast.

Jun best girl.
Apparently there is an ending where two girls love one guy, I get the feeling it's Jun and the other rescue worker. Shame there isnt an ending with just her.

Phoenix wright is on VNDB. vndb.org/v711

Very well written and beautifully drawn SoL VN that got fucked by translation (fan patch fixes it), but may be too avarage for some people. It actually got me interested in gliding

Ageha best girl

hoshimemo
muv-luv alt

>ctrl+f
>no sharin no kuni

Sure is shittaste here

I can't believing you're citing this as some sort of determining factor.

Muv Luv was probably the only long vn that I actually liked enough to play back to back with no breaks. Alternative messed me up at times.

if you liked Hoshimemo go read , it's very similar to it

Foggy bongland, tea, scones and running from monsters a LOT. Also catchy OP song

Kara no Shoujo

The translation is shit and if we're counting non-translated VNs Sharin no Kuni is mid-tier at best.

What a silly twist. I was just pretending all along! It felt so silly.

Already finished. Childhood friend 7/10

Sliding scale innit

Higurashi > Phoenix Wright > Danganronpa > Tetris or some shit

In order of VN purity, gaps of varying sizes of course.

well I liked it, maybe it's me whos's got shit taste after all
;_;

I don't think it was a shitty twist. I wasn't expecting either of them to be pretending and was genuinely surprised. That counts as a pretty good plot twist in my book.

No, not like that user! You're supposed to call me a faggot who's got no idea what he's talking about here.

It might not be the best written VN, but it might be the cutest one.

...

Oh sorry I misread that as shitty. It was still pretty damn unexpected even if it was a little silly though.

Wanko to Kurasou is the cutest VN. Sorry, mate.

Yes, as well as the fan disc, and played the first version of Melty. Really liked Sion there.

Dat Flower of Thanatos holy shit muh dick.

Lamento has some amazing music, I need to go back and listen to it sometime.

you're damn right user

Do you have a fetish for mollusks?

Admittedly I haven't read many VNs but i enjpyed sharn a whole lot, got any recommendations?

Sekien no Inganock

I'm enjoying Steins;Gate right now

>that feeling of dread when the bomb threat happens

I only remember the pictures.
Yes.

>get only 3 endings, including the True End
>read what other people write
>I actually missed almost half of the story

Also, Fata Morgana is my favourite VN of this year.

It's dead. There aren't more than 100 posters.

Boy do I feel stupid for not expecting that obvious ass twist

She wasn't even trying to hide it

Man I really need to proofread, sorry guy.

I haven't seen it in the thread yet so I'll recommend G Senjou no Maou

the best girl's route is the only one worth playing though

French toast and french fries are pretty good.

Kamidori Alchemist Meister.
If it's too "gamey" for this thread though I guess my answer would be G Senjou no Maou. I do'nt have much experience with VNs.

Umineko but sengoku rance/kamidori alchemy meister are close seconds

I've read that one and enjoyed it a lot as well.
Mizuha is the best girl though

Remember11 and Virtue`s Last Reward. These are the best ones, that`s for sure.

GPM?

>Route that fucks up everything else with the tweest
Shit route.

Why do they call it a bad end if I get to bang her sister (was it her sister?)?

My Nigger. It puts any of the scenes in Fate/HA to shame.

What games are you playing other than that?
Decided to give DaS on PC another try as it is now supporting Steam Multiplayer.

yeah sort of, basically her sister

Hey fuck you buddy, Mizuha's love is pure and her ending is the best. She's also the cutest.

Anyone here reading Funbag Fantasy? I went in expecting shitty porn and ended up surprised at how good it was.

Agreed.
But it all fucks up thanks to nonsensical Haru end.
Skating imouto worst route/end.

youtube.com/watch?v=vYrjHoI2iUs

My girlfriend is the President if you want a good laugh

Looks like a portrait for Castlevania

this, or Danganronpa
but I think Danganronpa is an actual game
cripplefucker sim wasn't too bad either despite being babbys first vn

Gunparade March

Yeah for a nukige it's pretty alright.

Any recommended "old" VNs?

I should get around reading Muv-Luv. Are the three(?) main ones good or is it just Alternative with its infinite amounts of Happening™?

>babbys first vn
What was the name of the VN with the crazy girl who ran an amusement park at the end?
I know that used to be babby's first VN.

WHERE'S MY NIGGER AHT?

Reminder to always give your sister the dick.

You would have to specify how old. YU-NO and Tsukihime are solid picks if you mean 90s/early 00s.

Probaly the House in Fata Morgana, then Kara no Soujo. I want to read Amagami and White Album 2 but translations fucking never, and my moonspeak is below toddler level. Maybe in 3 years I'll go for those once I've learned enough.

For videogames, I'll finish Fates: Conquest, I'll play BF1 with my friends, DaS3 DLC, and waiting for Nioh and maybe Nier: Automata.

And definitely give DaS PC a shot. Despite all its issues, it's still the better version.

that was pretty good, I assume it's even better if you've played the Vn.

Agreed user. The writter screwed himself over.
Actual G senjo spoilers : cause there was no way to make their love work if he was Maou, so he came up with that whole brother thing

they're direct sequels, read them in order

yes the pacing is atrocious
don't hype yourself up too much or you'll inevitably be disappointed
take it slow, enjoy the ride, it'll probably be worth it but if you go in with the mindset of 'i'm just slogging through this shit to get to the HYPE' you're just setting yourself up for a kick in the teeth

I've been playing this recently and it's breddy gud.

I liked it too, but the music is an abomination if you like common practice period music.

I never finished the other routes because I liked hair monster, but I do remember getting a Mizuha bad end where Tooka kills MC after she gets dicked..

>The writter screwed himself over.

I was like "This didn't make any sense at all."

Is the first White Album any good? I got curious after I read some of the synopsis. I know that feel, still waiting for Amagami and Mahoyo to be translated.
You are a chill guy, 10/10 would play games and hang out with.
Yeah, I started playing it for now, it's glorious to come back to it after all these years. Gonna roll with a STR build and then do some Faith or Int-based characters afterwards.

YMK. And before that it was F/SN and before that it was Tsukihime.

What was the first VN you've read, Cred Forums?
Mine was A-Profile. It's painfully generic in retrospect and I think it was made by Akabeisoft (before they were Akabeisoft2).

G-Senjou would be infinitely better if it kept the MC as Maou. The idea of such a twisted fuck manipulating sweet girls like that was interesting. But nope, they fucked up majorly.

Memories off 2.

Discipline I think.

Muv Luv Alternative, I've had a lot of fun with Kamidori, Demonbane, and Utawarerumono. I'm pretty sure if I knew Japanese Muramasa would be my favorite.

I really liked this one. I wouldn't say it's better than Saya no Uta though, which is something I hear quite often.

Yeah, Muramasa is the best mecha VN by far.

one thing I don't understand is
The MC was supposed to be maou but the only reason haru is hunting you is cause maou bomber her mother's concert when she was like 5, that makes Maou 5 at the time of the bombing

Fate/Stay Night. It was great and after I went by and read Tsukihime I liked it a little less.

saya no uta was my first, helluva way to start.
i should give it a reread, see if it holds up.

that damn ending song though.
youtube.com/watch?v=08sKNXcJXjg

Ah shit nigga, it's pre-OP Zarya

Just fix her fucking hair and she looks fine, that fucking dyke cut ruins it. It being neon pink doesn't help either.

youtube.com/watch?v=lOHOiOfSwFY

the opening to the game for reference

True Remembrance or Wanko to Kurasou, it's been a while.

Katawa Shoujo

Fate/Stay Night was the first proper VN that I read, I still really like it.

Heart de Roommate, i didn't even finish it.
My second was Sengoku Rance and yes it was much better..

I have no clue, I only tried 2 because you don't need to read the first one. I'll probably end up checking it out eventually.

You too, user. Have fun and remember that Quelana is best girl.

These threads are so comfy. You don't have the "I hate videogames" fags shitting them up.

Katawa Shoujo
bacon route

YMK
youtube.com/watch?v=JVUEjqGRxg0

too bad type moon are nothing but sonygger console trash shitters now

Just finished that recently.
I liked it but the epilogue was really great. Right before then I was disappointed and thinking "that's it?" and was so glad that there was more.

I know what song you're thinking of but I thought they used dissonance on purpose to bring out the awkwardness and disjointedness of Usami.

You dodged a bullet there. All of the endings where horrible. No sex girl, gradually drift apart girl and terminally ill girl.

Maybe he was best buds with pic related.

Seriously though, it was retarded.

youtube.com/watch?v=FVkJuuydvUo

Probably True Love. Though that was more of a dating sim I guess? If not, some nukige like X-Change I suppose.

Non-nukige, probably FSN Fate route, then Tsukihime.

Can Sengoku Rance even be classed as a VN? It's basically just a good turn-based strategy game that happens to have H-scenes.

Yeah rookie mistake.

literally the only reason I use this skin

I've played everything in this thread...

What am I doing with my life?

Fuck I remember that one. It was OK.

Yes. Some vn's have gameplay.

Do you have a fap and / or VN backlog? If not, you're still not doing that bad.

Link your vndb

Steins;Gate.

Will probably be Steins;Gate Zero when it gets translated on PC. (Any status on that btw?)

don't feel bad user I've played all of these

I read light novels now to fill the void

Panzermadels

That ending was ass, but I'm pretty sure there's worse out there

>Summon cool earth elemental that will jump on you and be all bro
>It is revealed that he's actually incomplete and that he cannot use his true potential
>Willie boi tries to fix this
>He succeeds in buffing him up
>Turns out Aht is a girl

I'm horribly, horribly torn between liking it and hating it.

Koihime Musou

>Not one person said Clannad
Man oh man.

Well, at least most of the selections are good, if not cliched.

Clannad was fucking hilarious. I wish I kept my pirated version.

I will fellow user. If you have DaS as well, it would be neat to play some time with someone. Same here, it's comfy around here.

steamcommunity.com/id/CurryField
Just hit me up if you want. Wouldn't judge you if you were not interested though!

dem abs don't lie user

A-are all of those translated user?
I know some of them are but they're the one's i've already read.

This picture is ancient, I think it was already around when I started coming here in 2011.

I've been playing Cartagra. The main character isn't much of a detective, is he? He barely does any fruitful investigative work while his pals do all the digging. Even his little sister is more useful.

It has come to my attention I have no Hank Hill images saved, so this will be the next best thing

>I read light novels now to fill the void
Oh god, same here. Except I finished most of what was on Baka-Tsuki and turned to Chinese translated Xianxia novels.

Then I thought, why am I reading translated stuff? Why don't I just read English ones?
But I can't actually find any good ones. Maybe I should start lurking /lit/.

Man I forgot how it all was with the whole thing...

Need to reinstall it and play it again.

learning japanese I hope

turns out Aht is his dead mum
whom he immediately fucks
and then bleeds from her mud hymen

he fucks the lake and it's incest
he fucks a succubus in the ass on top of her sister's grave
kamidori is weird.

Katawa Shoujo.

don't worry, I already know I'm a pleb

why would you stab a man's urethra
this just isn't right

>Katawa Shoujo 2 never.

Melty can't even get official rollback and it's September. Never ever.

kara no shoujo is great. definitely give that one a read

I won't be playing DaS1 any time soon, but no prob. We can later play other things later, as soon as I get my PC back.

>Ctrl+F
>Va-11
>one result

Holy shit. This novel was fucking awesome, even though some of the memes were insufferable.

>Devs took the concept for KS from another artist
>Refuse to let anyone release extra fan content

There are a few good English fanfictions, but suffering through the bad ones is almost not worth it.

The two best ones I know of are Mother of Learning and A Heroes War on fiction press

I'm still triggered by the short skirt and hair

VA-11 HALL-A was great, I loved how they told a really small-scale and intimate story despite having this grand cyberpunk setting.

I was actually already reading Mother of Learning, but I'll check out A Heroes War, thanks man.

If you have to ask if its translated, chances are it isn't. At least a handful on that chart are though.

>ywn straighten misha out with your arithmetic donger

>kamidori is weird
I won't be surprised if they ever made a sequel to it, it would be about one of the hundreds of his bastard children.

How can one person be such a sex-machine? Only Rance is capable of sexing so many women and more.

It's great but definitely not the best.
also the shmup minigame was annoying as fuck

As an imoutofag I'll have to say Tasogare no Sinsemilla. The mystery/inaka setting just made it that much better. The route 'tree' menu is also very well done.

Check out Worm if you don't mind capeshit. Shit escalates real fast.

It is a weird case of a mediocre setting, however being saved by the great characters and the God-Tier music. Holy shit, that music, man.

the fanbase is pretty big in japan, but i wasn't able to like it in the end. There's no good ending for Akiha which made me feel empty after finishing it, even this fugly of ciel had one.

Did you read Kagetsu Tohya?
Shiki is still alive in True End.

Tsukihime isn't under rated, it's just you who are late to the party. And probably that it's getting drowned in all the shitty fate/stay night shit.
Fuck fate/stay night.

Kinzo did nothing wrong.

here's a different chart for you then

Rich girl is actually the worst route. Although I do like how the whole point of it is the protagonist basically self destructs. Also "tube meat."

>Tsukihime
>incredibly underated too
Dude. Tsukihime was considered as "babbies first VN. Underrated my fucking ass.

Great! Enjoy your day, user.

I just wish he did that from the beginning. I was not expecting NTR when I got Disneyland's ass after 50 hours of getting to know her.

...

>The mystery/inaka setting
What's it about?

Best girl.

What is tumblr about tokyo ghoul?

I agree, the Tokyo Ghoul manga is really good, I'm not enjoying the new one as much but I have hope that it will get better now that MC have regained his memory.

I prefer g senjou no maou over sharin no kuni

The problem is that a) the translation is butchered and that kinda fucked it and b) it's really generic. Aside from the nice visuals it doesn't really have anything that pops out.

Except for one thing, and it's the best thing. Fucking both twins

This image is now very relevant since in the last DR3 episode Junko and another dead character were chilling in a meta movie theatre talking about the plot

>tfw you though kinzo was some kind of fucked up time traveling battler who stopped giving a shit

youtube.com/watch?v=pRV_083QrCU

>devil on g-string
>steins gate
>kara no shoujo
>utawarerumono
>shikoku no sharnoth

these are all translated, how old is this list?

if junko shows up again i swer 2 god m8

man Touka really was the best girl

My nigga I just finished replaying it. That said I'm still super unclear on the setting. The protagonist mentions Japan like he's not in Japan, but why is everyone Japanese and where the fuck is he?

>obscure /jp/ shit
>steins;gate

every time

Music's so fucking great that for the first time in my life I actually bought it on Steam.

>shmup minigame

What? Enlighten me, I don't remember it at all.

you realize this chart was made before the anime and vn translation right?

G Senjou no Maou is the perfect example of a plot where you can accurately pinpoint the moment it all falls to shambles and it is the fucking moment Maou is revealed in that shitheap of a route of hers.

Buy the computer and click on it, there is an achievement for beating the entire minigame.

Kana: Little Sister

It was a weird introductory one.

A goddess, stuff that happened in the village a long time ago and the strange things that seem to occur around you during your time in the village. I quite enjoyed the way it was told bit by bit during the different routes. Everything starts making sense after a while and the true route does a good job of wrapping it up.

Anyone play Quartett? I thought the music and visuals were great but it was a snoredfest otherwise.

Oh shit, I didn't look at the achievments at all. I'll check it out.

Katawa Shoujo. Friend showed me it, and I thought Japan and it's anime bullshit sucked before then. Then I got addicted to VNs and I blame him for ruining my life.

A-Profile was weird. The protagonist was kind of interesting, though. I like the idea of the world reacting to someone who acts as generically nice as most protagonists do. All the endings aside from the main chicks ending leave a bitter taste in my mouth, though. They aren't very likable people.

it's not, I've already pointed this out a few years ago (probably to someone else) but katawa shoujo was released in 2012 and steins;gate anime in 2011

that image is just made as bait

Waiting for the retranslation. Hopefully they are going to release early next year.

He's just as useful as he is in the sequel. That is to say not useful at all.

This thread reminds me that I need to replay that elf slave market VN again

There was an attempt to make a similar version, but with mental problems instead. I don't particularly like the idea but I also think that extending upon Katawa Shoujo (like that fucking stupid route with one hand girl some people added) is also pretty stupid.

>school days not in super baby tier
>hoshimemo is obscure shit
>umineko baby's first anything with 100 hours or "gameplay"

the demo for Katawa was out in 2009

...

>but I also think that extending upon Katawa Shoujo is also pretty stupid.

I was thinking about new characters, new mc and all.

I did, yeah. It's okay. I just finished re reading Period which has the same artstyle. I'd suggest giving that a look if anyone is browsing for something new to read.

The art is odd as fuck but I think it's pretty comfy. Protagonist is kind of an ass, though.

>Ranmaru never gets the D
At least you see her tits and her crying after the ape tells her he has no interest in her body.

There are sick fucks in this thread that got Shibata killed on purpose.

Oh I was just making a general statement.

Yeah I did. Renmaru also died for me though. I swear if they have to kill off a character to make room, she's always the first to go.

...

>Mudskin girl is literally mudskin

I didn't, it wasn't translated.
Thanks for the info.

Go and read it, dude. It's great.

>not the last h-scene with Ageha

that shit made my dick more diamonds than anything ever before

>There was an attempt to make a similar version, but with mental problems instead.

thats what i thought the game was suppose to be about but than, everyone was just physical handicap.

He lives in the wheel country, the fiction books he reads are set in japan, just like you're reading about a guy that lives in a fictional wheel country

Umineko. I liked Chiru.

>but with mental problems instead
Isn't that just Grisaia?

I transcribed a bit of one of the pieces from it last night. It has some really good music.

...

Pretty much. Although I recall the concept was much more obvious. And shittier. I like Grisaia, the vn thread in /vg/ be damned.

Kohime Musou. Greatest harem in anything ever.

i remember this list. its pretty fucking old. atleast 6-7 years old.

someone needs to do a new one.

Cross Channel. Boy was that a weird way to experience a medium for the first time. I found it through Nanaca Crash and WOW did it hit me hard.

pretty much.

Kira Kira

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT KIRARI ROUTE ARE YOU SHITTING ME THAT SHIT SCARRED ME FOR YEARS. FUCKING YEARS.


WHY

>Game gets progressively more depressing and bleak as it reaches its conclusion
>Reach the end
>"Well at least the true ending will probably be more upbeat!"

Famous last words.

wait there is a sequel? all I found are the two fandiscs

>Well at least the sequel will probably be more upbeat!

Sometimes men never learn

Normal route > True route.

I assume he means Dear Drops which is not a sequel because it follows an entirely different cast. It does have a cameo or two but that's about it.

family project. it touched on alot of family issues like "what is a family?" every charterer had their own family issue to deal with and than they have to live under the same roof.

i liked it beacuse i was going tough some ruff family problems myself at the time.

I bought the sequel but I haven't played it yet, I love KnS but there's a part of me that doesn't want to go even deeper down that rabbit hole.

>It had Norio fucking Wakamoto in it

Too bad most of the endings sucked and the re released graphics are fucking ugly.

You should give it a try. It's probably a fringe opinion that'll get me crucified but I don't actually like it nearly as much as the first one. I don't think it's nearly as good, but it's still okay and worth playing.

original yu no

then all the rance games

I will play it eventually, I just know that I'm going to feel like shit for weeks afterwards.

I owe it to Toko to find out what happened, so I can't not play it.

Bible Black, still listen to the OST occasionally

youtube.com/watch?v=2tZ-nlz3pYQ

probably muv-luv

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you: our guy.

Kuwagata is a prick who deserved way worse than what he got

That's probably one of the only good ones I've read. I don't trust recommendations at all because weebs have shit taste and think anything with a cute girl in is 10/10. VN as a genre is mostly terribly written shit. The only one I really want to read is Yu No.

the first vn i played was kira kira as well and it put me off VNs for a few years

It really depends on what kind of story you want to read. A lot of the currently translated games are slice of life games, you know?

If you want mystery and time travel, you read Steins Gate. If you want to see what happens when a huge fan of anime reads the bible you play Tokyo Babylon. So on and so fourth.

I'll come in with some pleb EVN taste. Analogue: A Hate Story and Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius

should i bother with this if i thought cartagra was uninteresting

Awwww

No.

At least you didn't start with "Sakura___"

I also loved Saya no Uta.
I love the setting and just how gruesome it is.
I think it was also my first VN, or maybe that was YMK. Anyways, Saya a cute

Sunrider is okay. But I prefer Academy, evne though it's not a VN.

>Analogue
Is it good? It keeps appearing in my recommended.

>Sakura ____
Man, I got close to buying one because I was on a H-VN binge. Going from dating sim to sex story to anything. Luckily I got smart. And I found out I can just torrent/download the CG for free from sadpanda

You forgot the incredible soundtrack.

Saya did nothing wrong.

Play one and you've played them all. Sakura titles are the biggest fucking scams ever.

EVNs are fucking cancer, though. And I don't mean that in an elitst way. 99.99% of them are fucking awful and just use standard jap tropes anyway.

Not him. Analogue is alright but not great, I don't even think it's good. If you're dying for an EVN then it's worth picking up -- there are certain things that translated VNs will never do proper in English -- but I think it's kinda bad because it will often read like a trashy romance novel you can find at Target or Wal-Mart. It also uses dumb anime art style, which is wholly unnecessary considering the subject matter and the fact that it's an EVN. Like the guy above said, it's aping Jap tropes, and doing it poorly.

>EVN
What's that? English Visual Novels?

Aren't Hanako games considered Visual Novels? if so, they are great. Huniepop is okay too.
I'm sure there are more. Katawa Shoujo for example

In retrospect the sex scenes are funny as hell when you imagine what's actually happening, the MC passionately fucking some grotesque alien blob

demonbane is underrated as fuck, hell almost everything by nitro+ is god tier

>Try to get through Liberation
>Can't laser everything anymore
>They didn't make it so the one melee unit doesn't need a skill to get in melee range, nor can she melee carriers

Shame, the plot was doing some crazy shit

>Academy
How were you able to bear that much RNG in one game

Yes, the music is also done very well. I love the drastic changes in the music in the scenes. I loved the tracks with the slow guitar riffs, they sound so creepy yet comforting. It sets the mood perfectly.

I love how easy they made it to sympathize with both parties, on one found Fuminori finally finds purpose after his fuck up and Saya actually loves him due to her dorkboner for romance novels.
And then all of his friends are "What the fuck is wrong with you man" and their intense feelings of revenge and fear.

Anyways, Saya no Uta really fucked me up the first time I played through it, I couldn't operate normally for a while. Granted I was also a little fucked up at the time.
But what an awesome story. Sometimes I wish for more but it could never be done well.

I found the H-scenes disturbing for that same reason, since it's pretty obvious from early on that Saya is not what she appears to be, to the MC at least.

-Galaxy angel trilogy
-eien no aselia
-utawarerumono

do porn games count? if so it was seasons of sakura, if not it was tsukihime

Saya no Uta is definitely my favorite

I know people say it's babby's first VN but I really like it a lot

I really like how Saya no Uta is told from the perspective of the villain and how it makes you feel sympathy for his situation. So much sympathy that I brought about the end of humanity and didn't feel that bad about it. The love story angle was also surprisingly touching.

>How were you able to bear that much RNG in one game
I didn't do space whale difficulty. And that's about it. It was really about focusing on the bare minimum to get by.

OELVN is original English language visual novels -- I assume EVN is simply a shortening of that. Basically EVN means visual novels written originally in the English language, not translated from ching chong.

Hanako games are considered visual novels, sorta. I don't know if you played Magical Diary but that was Deviantart tier awful. Long Live the Queen is less VN and more game. I haven't played their other stuff, but it seems their strength is in making games that have VN aspects to it and not the other way around. I wouldn't consider Huniepop a VN, that's more like a puzzle game than a novel. Katawa Shoujo is definitely an EVN, perhaps (some would say sadly) the best written EVN there is.

I've kind of given up on EVNs, maybe the scene has gotten better. But EVNs feel like lazy versions of Jap VNs, instead of being their own separate entity, and so the results are cringy.

I think that's part of what makes the story so gripping. It doesn't take long to realize, "something is seriously not right here", and I think Fuminori realizes it too. But he can't stop. He feel like he can finally escape his hell just for a bit.

Yeah, you get to see just how truly fucked everything is for him. And how he has his houseloli to fuck all of his rage and sadness into.
I like how Saya picks up on Yoh's thing for him and makes her their new fucktoy.
I want an obedient houseloli to make sex slaves for me too.

>Underrated

Tons of people love that game. I am only kind of one of them, I think it's kinda stupid but it's amusing at the same time.

It has not gotten better, no.

youtube.com/watch?v=Tm2JGgGzik4

I played Magical Diary. I like the gameplay.

>Deviantart
Yea, it's pretty... liberal and weird art but not too too bad. I got it on sale so I won't complain.

Long Live the Queen is great

Date Warp is great.

There's one called Royal Trap. It's okay. Some routes are good, some meh.

haven't played Science girls but apparently Cred Forums likes it but they agree it's bad quality

Lily Princess I didn't like too much as it's repetitive.

----------------
As for other English VNs, I think
>They Way We ALL GO
was English. It's got a couple decent ends

>No one but you
Pretty good

>Divine Slice of Life
Very average. It's short, but good art

I think that's everythign off the top of my head.

I also loved the use of music in the VN, it's this horrible distorted drone for the most part but it becomes this ethereal and slightly creepy tune whenever Saya is on screen, because she's the only thing that brings Fuminori any sense of peace.

>His favorite VN has H-scenes
How does it feel like to have shit taste?

My favourite visual novel is Little Busters, though.

I really like this one.
youtube.com/watch?v=hLglBVhY1rA&index=1&list=PLC22793D8B9E122EF

Granted that's all of the songs, probably gonna listen to them all again.
I actually just played through it again a few months ago.

>I like how Saya picks up on Yoh's thing for him and makes her their new fucktoy.
I didn't remember that. Didn't she
mutate her into a meatblob too, so Fuminori saw her as a person?

I don't remember what happened to her later though. Wasn't she killed by one of Fuminori's friends?

Muv Luv Alernative, Little Busters.

Sengoku Rance for gameplay and comedy.

Yep, that's what she did. I think she was her second victim for her transformation power shit. First guy was the old guy neighbor. Then she tried it on Yoh since she was weak as fuck and mutated her body too so she had no chance of fighting back.

And yep. I think she attacks him unknowingly trying to get help where he promptly nopes the fuck out and brutally beats her into a pulp with a pipe. Then depending on the ending, he goes completely fucking insane and keeps the revolver the doctor gave him in his apartment with one bullet if he can't take it anymore.

There's actual living, breathing human beings who finished high school, that think the ending of Umineko is shit.

I read this mostly for the story and didn't regret it. The true ending route had an amazing amount of feels for a fucked up porn game.

I enjoyed piecing the story and reading between the lines because everyone is an unreliable narrator in one way or another. I found the DOS command prompts nostalgic and kinda a unique way to engage the player. Your first route probably takes around five hours. Full price? Dunno.

Did a non-butchered translation ever come out for this? It seems appealing but I've heard awful things about the official translation.

The only good thing to come out of Umineko was Black Battler, and that's only because Daisuke gave the edgelord a smooth as fuck voice.

They're making one slowly

I'm only up to the start of episode 6 so far but I can't imagine the ending being bad enough to sour my opinion of the whole thing
It's such a unique novel

It's like looking into a mirror and seeing my young, naive self.

Oh young, naive self. How I miss you so.

I actually enjoyed Grisaia and I'm waiting for the lewd version of labyrinth to be released already.

Being a gay EOP must be suffering being stuck with only this garbage.

Katawa Shoujo demo in 2009. First real VN was Tsukihime.

Yep. Well we'll probably have to jump through the same fucking hoops with the other games as well. Fuck this H content removal shit, it's the most scummy thing imaginable.

French girls don't have money. They have french money. That's just what Ubisoft plays with.

mah nigga
my other favorite would be pheonix wright trials and tribulations (newones a close seccond)

I dont' mind them removing the H-Content. I just don't like it when they remove it and then release it later. Expecting us to buy it twice. its that shit that makes my blood boil.

I am happy that these games are getting some form of attention though.

also I think They said they are going to release a physical trilogy pack at one point with all games with all their content.

Well you should mind them removing it, because even if you don't like H scenes they are still taking a game you've (in theory) paid for and gone "yeah but you can't use THIS part"

Don't fall for these salty niggers, who was in it from the start.
It's great. Keep reading.

Episode 7 goes to a fucking halt, but it picks up in the episode 7 teaparty again, and my god, that fucking teaparty.

If my heart had wings. It's so uncommon to see the main girl being a paraplegic. Kotori is so cute.

I wish there were more vns with qt wheelchair girls.

Any yuri vns to get funny feelings to?

Everlasting Summer

Almost made me into a commie.

There is always real life user.

I have the OVAs in my backlog. They are so fucking lewd.

And Grisaia is a lot of fun, routes and girls aside.

I can't decide on my favorite moment. Asking Yumiko about the dick touching always cracks me up.

youtube.com/watch?v=deg1RHwmKpo

youtube.com/watch?v=sRCZMJEzwFI

It's has the best story I've ever seen in any visual novel ever.

The visual novel did give its official explanation to the murders, but i still think tetsuro did it.

Man, what a fucking great VN.

KamiDori Alchemist is so good.

Eien No Asellia (censored edition + editor to reduce grinding)

>Girls aside

What's wrong with the girls?

Aoishiro comes to my mind that isn't a nukige.

Wasn't the official explanation literally "I seriously don't know for sure, and I doubt anyone will ever know."?

Man I didn't like about 98% of Eien No Asellia but the part where you become a sage and everything after it was pretty great, especially how people reacted to you and how the protagonist was forced to react to them.

Mah nigga!

Door 2 was tedious as fuck to sit through but door 3 was cash as fuck.

Dat theme.

youtube.com/watch?v=ATMCU3i6-1c

Real wheelchair girls are gross though. As in, they're usually not well groomed and kinda dirty looking.

Flowers?
Aoishiro was a nice ride.
youtube.com/watch?v=ZAoW9RoIIRM

The author never gave you the explanation on a silver plate, and forces the reader to figure it out. It's perfectly solvable, but a big theme of Umineko is "truth" and there's a lot of truths out there. And in the end, your truth is the only one that matters, so it can give room to some pretty interesting theories behind the murders.

It's a very, very, very well executed deconstruction of the tried and kind of stale murder mystery genre.

>Glasgow Smile

Fucking metal.

Hey senpai, play these three:

Kara no Soujo
Kara no Soujo: The Second Episode
Swan Song

Then free yourself.

Wasn't the Tetsuro theory that he was on some helicopter above the island, committing the murders for the gold? Beatrice said in red that there is no one other than battler on the island, but if tetsuro is on a helicopter, that's 'above' the island, not on the island. Tetsuro also said that he knows that Eva didn't kill anybody, because he IS the killer, or something like that.

Can someone please post the Tetsuro theory picture? I can't find it anywhere.

Meant that as in, not taking them into account, not about liking or disliking them.

I really liked Yumiko (pls no bully), though I didn't give much of a shit about the rest in their struggles. But god damn they made me laugh.

Top tier translation.

To each their own. Yumiko was my least favourite, but she gave us wobbly Yuujiman so that's fine

Which one did you like best, user?

>Saya no Shit Writing

Michiru, but only because her voice actor does things to me that no mortal man should have done to him. That said I don't hate any of the girls, I just liked Yumiko the least.

That said Michiru's route was super dull compared to the others.

Should I play the old or the Steam version of Umineko?

Muv-Luv Alternative, but that's considering that I haven't played many VNs. Whats that one people were talking about that had suffering and some dude investigating his lover's murder?

Steam or old version is completely fine tbqh, but if you want to support R07 and the future of his works getting translated and ported to the west, buy it on steam.

I get that. I don't hate any, and actually like them all as far as characters go. What I didn't care for was their routes, and only cared about Yumiko's because, well, she was there.

Amane's wild ride was OKish though.

>Buying a VN

I want to MATE with and FUCK and BREED and RAVAGE this despair.

“The naked truth has the power to destroy men's minds. Only by diluting it with lies and taking it in small doses can humans maintain a healthy soul.”

American.

For me it's not even the sound of the chomp that makes the scene, its the use of Code 991. GODDAMN I love the sound design, ost for this game.

I think the biggest problem is that they aren't good at making both drama and slice of life and mixing it well. It felt forced and the routes suffered for it. The sequels get even more stupid in that aspect as they ramp up both the humor and the seriousness as the same time.

With Amane, her flashbacks felt like they were dragging on in a lot of places. But otherwise it was okay. The final boss being essentially my dad with a shotgun was anti climactic though.

...

I haven't read it but that sounds like Cartagra.

If you want something dark you should read Saya no Uta if you haven't already.

>not Shiyouchuu ~W.C.~

Why are all translation projects for Gore Screaming Show destined for failure?

So Anons, what makes a good VN?

>Symphonic Rain
>Torta is best girl
best post i've seen in a while

Yeah, labyrinth had a really bizarre atmosphere for that reason. Almost felt like LOSS.exe

I appreciate the VN if it doesn't take ten hours to get interesting. Kikokugai has two different rape scenes and a cyborg kung fu fight ten minutes in.

This is what keeps me away from Muv Luv. I read everywhere that it "gets good after 20 hours" or so.

those things usually have a good payoff
I mean Higurashi takes 4 hours for anything to happen but god damn does shit happen

Cartagra was bretty gud
I still didn't finish kara no shoujo

Wow. VNs are more popular than I thought.

I really like Ef: The Fairy Tales of Two.

Amazon background images. The characters are often drawn onto the background itself instead of being a disconnected floating sprite. High tier orchestral music.

I would classify it as a crying game though.

They also made Eden* on Steam, another crying game. Although I am jaded by the years and didn't feel anything.

I'm on the fence about Saya no Uta, I don't like little girls but it seems like a great story.
After looking through the thread I realized I was thinking of Kara no Shoujo and must have mixed it up with the description of Cartagra.

>No english version

Hope killed

Thanks to Steam normies slowly find what we found like 10~15 years ago.

It doesn't get good then, trust me

Going to have to say Ever17 overall. What a ride that ended up being.

Special mentions:

>DEMONBANE
>Maburabu Alternative
>Turkeyhandle
>Fate/Stay in the kitchen (Heaven's Feel route only, absolutely hated UBW and Fate).

I want to strip the truth naked and whisper sweet nothings into her ear as I start penetrating her.

Panzermadels
I was one of the $100 backers ;_;

>Her

That's mainly the case with Extra if you hate SoL/Romcom and are just in it for the psychological sci-fi stuff
Personally the only part of Extra that really dragged on for me was lacrosse and from Unlimited on I was completely engaged in the story

On one hand, I'm happy that VNs are getting more popular. It means we'll get more translations in the future.

On the downside: Fucking normies.

The true poison is now already shitty companies like Sekai and Mangagamer have realised people will buy anything, in parts, without H, anything.

MangaGamer? Don't they release all of their stuff uncensored?

Mangagamer is good though

This reminds me that the first VN of a friend was one of these Sakura games.
He tried to explain what VN's are to me afterwards.
It was hard to hide my powerlevel.

Did you tell him how disgusting he was for liking weebshit?

Mangagamer release lewd VNs though.

My favorite probably has to be Ever17 partly because it was the first VN I truly read.

>The last two segments

I actually cut out a huge part of my sentence for some reason. With Mangagamer I wanted to say they mostly only release nukige. Even though they get a lot of licenses and have the money for it.

I want to protect this smile.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

Played Saya no Uta for the first time last month and I gotta say it wasn't as good as people made it out to be

Bible Black is still the best Horror VN I have played despite it being porn

This shit is GOOD

Have you read Yandere? It's supposed to be porn but it's just horrifying.

Is it good? has a low score

Sharin no Kuni

alt. answer: chicken sandwiches

It's probably a 6/10, I was taken aback when I first read it by how creepy/gory it gets.

I like how the company who made that pure vanilla love vn went and made a AU NTR vn about the other guy in the story
is NTR popular in Japan or what, I don't get it

Fatal Relations. One of the reason I hate VN with no route branches.

Hey guys
I just finish pic related

I dunno know, but it has ruined far too many doujins

It's niche and if you do it wrong you can anger the otaku and ruin your company

As long as the company doesn't advertise it as vanilla VN, they can get off with it. It's not the NTR that anger them off, it's surprise NTR in a vanilla game that tick them off. Or if the main girl is a bitch.

“In every man lurks the dark desire to spoil that which is beautiful.”

Anons, is there some place where I can find cracks/region unlockers for Japanese VN's reliably? Not all the games on nyaa seem to come with those and I'd rather not download them off weird Chinese sites.

You need to ask /jp/ for that. I changed my display language and timezone to japanese when I installed AA2.

>EOP
Nice assumptions. Hadaka Shitsuji was like a fresh breath of air when it comes to BL games, it was like a male-oriented nukige only gay. I wish there was more stuff like it, almost everything else is written for girls.

Don't like asking or going to /jp/. Oh well, my Kanji could use some more work anyway.

Why the actual fuck would anyone buy that? Like literally why? That's so fucking stupid

The buyers didn't know there was added NTR. That's why that company is now kill.

>that company is now kill

What? Their newest game, Dearest Blue was just came out a few months ago.

But why did the company think it was a good idea? Let's take this vanilla game and add NTR!
