What? No, the best VNs are already given a translation. You're falling for the Grass is Greener fallacy and thinking something is good just because you don't have it.

I just wanted Monika to be happy bros, why does this game suck ass

Fuck all the other girls, she deserves to be happy

>no happy ending

Use saves to get all of Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri's scenes before Sayori kills herself to get the good ending.

Here's an easy flowchart:

>1) Are you a waifufag and/or a person with no life or respect for their time?
Then play Muv Luv (includes Extra + Unlimited) and then Muv Luv Alternative.
>2) Are you a sane person?
Just play Muv Luv Alternative. There are more than enough flashbacks to explain what happened previously.

Things retroactively become of lesser quality once they are translated. Subahibi was the kamige to end all kamige once upon a time, now it is just pseudointellectual trash.

Start with the first, simply titled "Muv-Luv". You should be able to find a torrent on catbox's torrents. Once you finish both parts, you can progress to "Muv-Luv Alternative".
Do not listen to the other reply, it's bait.

Sorry you ran into an unfortunate selection. Try Friend to Lover (Fureraba)

>skipping Extra and Unlimited
Yeah let's read like 30 hours of drama that relies on you being emotionally attached to the characters and provides none of that because it expected you to play the originals.

Easy pleb net

Ever try Nekopara? One of the most popular VNs on the market? I think it's your thing.

I just don't have the cash.

Attached: guess.jpg (600x315, 12K)

Playing those games will not make you emotionally attach to those characters. You either like them or not, and Alternative gives you more than enough time to understand them.

I think the problem is you probably started with Katawa Shoujo considering you're posting on Yea Forums

Starting with that sets your standards WAY too high

They exist for a reason. Let user make his own decision.

I was honestly planning on trying it out, but then there were too many weebs and just the way they are killed any interest I had for it

Yeah Yea Forums, why haven't you?

And yet the games made all its money by selling merch to that very same crowd

Yeah, but the irony with that.
Idk user. Again, just all my interest got killed.
Maybe someday I'd like to try it out again

They exist because the author started out as a porn dating sim guy but had a change of heart and wanted to make a serious mecha VN. Alternative is completely different in structure from the first two, and attract two different types of fans. Alt is made for mecha anime-fags, while Extra/Unlimited are made for harem anime-fags.

>western guy who hates weebs.
That's bullshit. The game spends hours on slice of life and developing the waifus and relationships. You don't spend that kind of effort writing that shit unless you love it. That guy is a filthy liar and he actually loves this shit.

For what it's worth, the shitposting surrounding it was 95% people shitposting solely because it got popular (flavour of the month popular, but still), 2% VN user's claiming it was trash (alleged VN user's anyhow) and 3% general shit posts that are always present.
That's not to say it's amazing or anything, just that it's solid enough. The music is legitimately great as a bonus too.

Also, fuck those guys. We had a great time playing an average game and joking about it together, but then they had to ruin it and most future threads. Same way MH shitposting have ruined God Eater threads and MH threads.

>haha this game is ironic i swear!
>all 16 hours of it

Attached: dream daddy.png (444x116, 87K)

Wrong. It was intended to subvert things from the start. The game they made before Muv Luv starts out as a generic high school love story for 10 hours, then takes a sudden turn with your love interest getting fucking owned by a car. Then the rest is gritty relationship drama about a bunch of fucked up adults trying to cope with life after high school and their comatose best friend.

based

You don't have to be drunk.
Just an e-celeb with fading relevance.

You know ML and Unlimited came out at the exact same time right? You know they also wanted Alternative to come out at the same time as well but couldn't.

He is a very outspoken person on twitter so either he is doing that on purpose because he hates his fans or something, I don't know. The guy could also have had a change of heart since weebs give him money because of DDLC. He did go to an anime con near me last year.

Is it good? I know it's Suda but is it a good detective novel?

Whatever happened to that second project?

The Silver Case - Two stories. Transmitter is a straightforward crime drama that delves into uniquely modern crime, it had very ambitious ideas about the internet, identity, and memetics but is pretty flawed. The Placebo story is about a 30-something year old burnout who struggles to find a meaning in the modern world; I think it's one of the best character studies in vidya.
Flower, Sun, and Rain - A guy is sent to find a bomb in a Polynesian paradise, but it keeps blowing up just before he finds it... but then gets sent back to that morning
The 25th Ward - Three stories set in a dystopia where every aspect of life is micromanaged in pursuit of creating a perfect society

Guys, I'm making my own visual novel. I don't want to target Dokifags because they're normies, but they also seem like great paypigs. Should I just pander to them?

The author clearly has played VNs, though. The first few hours are generic anime tripe that only a person familiar with them would be able to write.

Attached: 1503181807947.jpg (1275x1021, 223K)

Tama a SHIT, unironically the worst girl. At least I can understand why someone with shit taste would like Meiya, but Tama really has no appeal at all except lolicon.
Her design is ridiculous, her characterisation is nothing but increasingly cringy attempts to write a character as cutesy as possible, and her route is the worst one in Extra as well.
I might like Sumika the most, but the character I enjoyed watching the most was definitely Ayamine. I'm surprised she isn't more popular.

Attached: ayamine.jpg (512x288, 36K)

Ironically I like Ayamine the least.

>Monika went from textbook psychopath to sympathic character who also is Salvato's mouthpiece for his opinions and beliefs
I loved this game until the end, why couldn't they just make her stay evil and give her personality traits that fit

Attached: 1552798184288.jpg (700x483, 201K)

Ayamine was the most boring and unrealistic. She never does anything in the main story except act aloof, and when she does she ruins everything with her dumb rivalry with Chizuru. You could remove her from the game and it would be a massive improvement.

There are mods specifically for Vanilla with any one of the girls. MC even prevents Sayori's suicide and talks it out with her.

The best VN is not meant for EOP eyes.

How do we purge the ironic weeb fad?

Why should you? Stuff like DDLC getting popular means VNs as a whole are getting more attention, so you get more translations and releases. It's a good thing.

Monika's character never really changes, only your view on her based on what you know the further you are in the game.
I guess she realizes that unlike her, you don't care if the girls aren't real in Act 4, that's it.

>Salvato's mouthpiece for his opinions and beliefs
I never got this meme.
What makes you think everything Monika says it's Dan's opinions?

It's a bad thing. The less attention you eroge gets from Western subhumans, the better. It should all stay in Japan and in Japanese only. If you weren't a subhuman yourself and learned Japanese, you'd agree.

I watched someone else play it instead. If I had to play this shit myself I'd fall asleep within 10 minutes.

How long do you wait before replaying VNs you really like?

That depends on your interpretation of the events, user.
It is entirely possible that Monika was as twisted as she made the others, and the nice girl who sings the credits song and says farewell is what she is actually like before assuming the role of club president.
Or you could see it all as an act of desperation, an unforgivable but understandable reaction.
Maybe Monika is a liar though, and she doesn't actually care about the other club members like she claims.

Listen here you complete waste of oxygen, the fact that I have to explain to you something so simplistic is such an insult to the concept of base human intelligence. Of fucking course writers make use of central themes you inbred simpleton, but the fact of the matter that your microscopic brain apparently can't comprehend is that this doesn't excuse the overuse of them. If you can reply to my post and honestly say that uchikoshi is a good writer I will personally fly out to whatever third world shithole of a country you live in and save the world from the faint possibility you might reproduce somehow. Name one redeeming quality of his writing beyond rehashing the same plotline endlessly, you can't. It's impossible. The only "Infinity Loop" of his games is that his boring psuedo-intellectual drivel created after reading philosophy wikipedia articles will end in a completely deterministic manner. If you haven't caught on yet, I'll spell it out clearly for you. Help, I'm trapped in a time loop and the only way out is to convince you that I'm an angry shitposter, please don't be mad at me I just want to go home. So that's all of the conclusive proof why you're completely retarded. Any questions?

Planeterian can be completed in one sitting and is a very nice story, with two very likeable characters and amazing voice acting.

Oh, and Narcissu is very good with a 10/10 soundtrack, 10/10 voice acting and 10/10 characters.

I'd recommend Muv Luv Alternative and Umineko. Afterwards take your pick.

Because showing or even mentioning that a character gets abused/raped must mean the author endorses rape here in the west.

I wonder what the next untranslatable kamige they'll cling to when Muramasa gets translated?

Pretty sure anybody hates KN. It's just some fags from /vg/ are pretty unbearable.

I hate KS because I was hyped for Rin after the demo, but her route blew ass. The fanbase being utter cancer when it released and the general being full of autists does not help.

nothing to do with it not being mentioned here, was just curious because I've seen it get a lot of hate before

Umineko is my favorite, but it's a huge time sink. I got very attached to the cast. God tier soundtrack too. I recommend it.
Fata morgana as well. Great music.

It's basically a retelling of what you already know through a different perspective.
I'd recommend it if you want to see more of Morgana and Jacopo.
That said, the new side characters and certain plot points are bad additions in my opinion, so your mileage may vary.

Fata Morgana does

>No 999 or VLR

This list is terrible.

honestly I'm not sure. I think the love for it has just decayed for it over time since there was so much damn discussion about it for the last decade or so, and frankly it was a solid 7/10 looking back on it but I appreciate it and what it stands for as a rare/successful community effort from this godforsaken site.

We know that the club president gains +10 insight, but it doesn't confirm that the role turns people evil or compels them to do stuff. Only that they lose their route and that the truth of the world is revealed when they step into the "advisor character" role.

It is more likely that Monika was simply distraught by the revelation and simply screwed up a ton on top of that. We can infer this because Sayori was an almost instantaneous turn for the worse, likely due to the whole depression thing and finding out that everything is actually pointless, while Monika originally tried to maintain the status quo.

Not that I am 100% correct mind you, it's just my take.

It's just a standard warning, user. On the same level as "may contain traces of nuts" warnings, it's just there to cover the creator. Chill.

That and a few other over 18 VNs do have warnings, but I'm certain those are legal warnings and different to DDLCs "Oh no guys things are going to get sad please don't be triggered oh god oh fuck"

What makes you assume that DDLC's is not a legal warning?

Doesn't need one, it's a western indie release

I'm not sure I follow you, user. The warning is just there for the disturbing content, like any other warning screen. Why is it different for western indie games?

DDLC doesn't need one, and its whole gimmick is ruined by having that be literally the first thing you see

Not that user but you cannot really avoid having that warning without getting into trouble.

But I am reading Higurashi right now and I'm having a blast, I'm only at chapter 3 though.

>played

Nice user, Higurashi is absolutely fantastic and beats the shit out of a lot of books.

Chapter 3 is the best one. A shame it never gets as good.

bioyikes cringefinite

I think 6 is the best chapter myself.

I know, I watched the anime 5 years ago and finally decided to read it because I forgot almost everything.
Really? That's nice to hear, also it said that it's the shortest one, is it true?

You're thinking of chapter 4. It's literally called the shortest chapter.

Not interested in weeb trash

Am I missing something? Isn't the last one the third one?

It's western.
Also the fuck are you doing here if you don't like anything resembling anime?

Oh my user. Higurashi is split into a few different games, with each having a few different chapters. What you're reading is the first 3 chapters
>I don't like anime
>Better go to Yea Forums, the anime site

The warning is likely for the disturbing content such as suicide, self harm or the rotting corpse.
I very much doubt it's for the meta stuff, which to be fair is not really hidden to begin with in hindsight and those twists are literally always spoiled by "fans" anyway.

Never played the game but I like Monika because I think she is the most attractive.

Because it's literally impossible to play a novel.

Can't I just empathize with Monika without being a memer?

I know nothing about this game but lately I've been googling "best horror games" like a fucking normie because I've pretty much exhausted the genre, and this shit keeps popping up. Is it some kind of elaborate troll to consider this cringeworthy shit "horror" or is it actually scary at some point, and not just because you think that people pay actual money for this garbage?

DDLC is free and pretty short too, so just play it right now.

DDLC is free unless something has changed recently, and yes it's basically only popular because twitch faggotry and ironic shitposting. If you want some actual horror game recs coming from a guy who gets scared easily:

>Yep, it's going to be like this for ever, and ever.... Just don't go to steam folder, Doki Doki folder and delete DELETE THIS TO WIN.bin

That was pretty yikes and cringe but having the game folder create and delete text and picture files was pretty cool

It is not really a horror game to begin with. It has the elements of one, but it's not presented as such.
It uses the horror elements as a medium rather than the main point, though it is greatly dragged down by taking it too far.
It would have been so much better if they didn't go the Creepypasta route, basically.

he's full of shit. Higurashi 5 and especially 6 is where it becomes a light speed ride.

Shut the fuck up Monika

That bit was the only actually interesting bit in the whole game. If the game wasn't so shit it'd be great, also known as the "DMC 2 Defence"

Would Monika come here to shitpost tho?

Are we all in agreement that Lily was best girl and Shizune was a gigantic waste of everyone's time?

My unironically autistic friend really liked Shizune, maybe you have to be as autistic as her to understand

It is really nothing new or interesting. The only effectiveness was the hanging scene. That felt too real. All of the glitchy bleeding eyes and 4th wall breaking was a shitty haunted cartage copy pasta

Monika is a memelord through and through
Why would she shitpost here if she could?

With that said, DDLC could have done a lot more, but I don't dislike Monika actually not being malicious towards the player.

Fandom memes aside, Monika looks like the type who would unironically post inspirational quotes.

This or something very close to it was literally a poem in the game. The games writing is fucking awful, and I'm not one of those faggots who go "durr all gamez are badly written", but this game is

Fuck off Yuri.

I personaly don't need another Shakespear. Just some rhymes that show emotion.

But it's true.

Look up Rupi Kaur. Her poems are literally the same level as this, and she's quite renown. Just because things doesnt resolve around you,doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

that doesn't even rhyme you fuckin 2 digit IQ retard

Rupi Kaur is an amazing con artist, but not a poet

You're a brainlet
Natsuki and Sayori's poems are quality, Monika's are word salad, Yuri's are flowery bullshit. That's the whole point, as each girl (especially Monika) plainly explains to you after each poem session.
The poems and the material related to them are easily the strongest part of the game, there's a lot more value to be gained in seeing how the story approaches literary analysis and expression than any of the "deconstruction" of anime bullshit going on.

I know, that was Natsuki's style and she strongly believed it was the best way to write poems, especially as opposed to Yuri.

I love this game. I've played it 3 times, going for a 4th time next month.

Imagine having a worse grasp on poetry than a Smash modder who writes anime bullshit, even after he explains it to your face.
Length and verbosity has no correlation to quality. Pointlessly padding your words and vomiting a thesaurus onto the page can easily be actively detrimental to actually conveying your meaning.

Did you miss the part where Natsuki and Yuri argue about this very point?

try Root Letter, or Katawa Shoujo. it's free.

I was too busy picking up my socks that blew off from the amazing writing. I guess all those childrens book are Hemingway tier as well

NEEEEEEEEEEEEERDS

Did you also miss the fact literally only Yuri and Monika wrote before?
You are getting too meta even for DDLC standards.

>user either demonstrates his piss-poor reading comprehension or deliberately obfuscates the point to avoid having to make an argument
Monika explicitly compares Natsuki's style to Shel Silverstein because they ARE (presumably intentionally and deliberately) very similar in their style of writing and structure of poetry. Drawing that comparison, much less just using them an example, isn't making any kind of statement about their relative skill or quality you absolute mongoloid.

Natsuki would like this poem the most.

Finish the game

Seeing outside the game, learning that everything around her is meaningless, feeling like shit because of this, asking the player to save her somehow.
Her final poem is about finding her way in the meaningless(and literally fucked up) game world and a happy ending with you.

>>Cats go lickity lickity
>>But I am full of envy
I too, would envy those who manage to find the receiving end of a cat lickity.

Like she says, she just had an epiphany recently and wanted to put her feelings about it into words.
They're structured strangely because, as she says, poems in that freeform style have become popular among amateur writers these days and she's interested in how they use the space of the page to direct the reader's attention.
It helps her stand out from the others, right?

The human lives a complex life full of intricacies and as such cannot have the simple pleasures of a cat or a fish. That'll be $5000000 for the poem and explanation

This is interesting because such structure was what drew me to Nasu when I first read Tsukihime. I remember him calling that style purple prose.

cringe but redpilled

"Purple prose" is usually used to describe writing styles like Yuri's where the author drowns whatever they're writing in excessive description, metaphors and other flowery language that ends up just distracting the reader from the point or breaking up the tone or pacing of a story.

Nasu definitely has a distinct style and makes good use of the VN format. One of my favorite things he does (though it's not really specific to writing structure) is blanking out things in the protagonist's narration that they don't want to think about or just can't understand because of some mental fuckery going on. It's really effective when it's used right, I wish more stories did it; I've only seen it in his works and stories I know were directly influenced by him.

Dan has done plenty of stuff with Melty, so he is aware of things to at least some extent.
