As always, throw recommendations
Recommend me your absolute favorite VN. I just beat the MuvLuv trilogy. Absolute kino.
MITOKO IS CUTE! CUTE!
I only read Saya no Uta. It was great, anything else like it? Cute girls are the best.
Ah fuck, I forgot about Muv Luv, got the Vita version loaded and ready to go when I feel like swallowing the dating sim pill to get to Alternative
Also for my favorite, I'd say Umineko. It's super dense but the payoff is real. If you want something more tempered, I'd say 999 or Steins;Gate. Read Saya no Uta as well since it can be tanked in a day if you're an efficient reader
My favorite is Zero Escape but you probably already heard about it. Try 428 Shibuya Scramble though. Absolutely perfect.
I will ask again, why does the isekai land history loop in Yu-No?
Also what about the name of the tree?
I just want more cute girls to fall in love with, ones that feel like real people.
Read Hanachirasu and Kikokugai. They're both 4-5 hours long and extremely good.
Is Demonbane worth of reading?
>feel like real people
Why the fuck would you want that
Here's another one, if Takuya's mom was a Dela Grandian why did Takuya age like a normal human while Kanna and Yu-no who weren't pure blooded Dela Grandians either still had the weird aging process?
Takuya is half Dela Grandian
Kanna and Yu-No are 3/4ths
G-senjou no maou
Alright, but where's the cut-off? 1/2 Dela Grandian makes you age like a 100% normal human, 3/4 and you age like a 100% pure Dela Grandian?
Wait actually I think I might remember some seemingly throwaway stuff from like the prologue or whatever about Takuya having grown up fast when he was young?
>start Umineko 6 episode
>on hold it for year
>still remember everything
>like I read it today
Uta 1.
deito with lucifer
post pantsu
Lambda best girl
Don't bother with Dies Irae
I've read many VNs in my life but katawa shoujo is still my favourite. I may be biased since it was my first vn but fuck it, it holds special place in my heart.
Honestly I went in for the loli but stayed for the story and setting. RIP helicopter medic crew
I stopped playing Kamidori Alchemy Meister over a year ago, picked it up today and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm in chapter 3, can anyone please give me a little bit of advice or a general rundown on what to do? I tried to just follow quests, but one requires 20 wood and 20 good wood in 10 days. I have no idea how I'm going to get that in time or even where since I only have like 4 pieces of wood.
>I tried to just follow quests, but one requires 20 wood and 20 good wood in 10 days.
Don't do those, all of those quests are meant for NG+.
Just finished part4 of Umineko. How do the other 4 parts compare?
What's with Japan and romanticizing the Nazis at Stalingrad?
They're way worse unless you're a brainlet.
In case you forgot they were (sort of) on the same side
Well that's a shame. Wonder why exactly does brainlet-ness has to do with it
>Wonder why exactly does brainlet-ness has to do with it
Brainlets think the core arcs are good because they're brainlets.
What are you doing on the ceiling, Lucifer?
Because I read actual books instead and not glorified teen fiction with porn.
Oh really? That would have saved me a lot of stress
What a fucking weaboo
i see
Reminder to read SeaBed as it is one of the few visual novels that can only be appreciated by empathetic adults. The writing and tone are entirely unique among the medium with the developers opting to avoid any description of emotions, letting the burden of understanding be placed on the reader, to make them actually think rather than being fed pre-conceived notions and attitudes. The writers refuse to dramatize the emotions of the characters for entertainment's sake.There are no dramatic payoffs or obvious catharsis. It's more of a mundane surrealist story but make no mistake, it is emotionally complex and thematically heavy with so many details and foreshadowing that it rewards multiple rereads. Rather than hooking you in, reading it is closer to experiencing a trance-like meditation. Most readers will find it boring as it is like the most anti-plotfag slow burn but if you are used to proper literature, then give it a go.
Yeah, that's probably the biggest problem with Kamidori. They made some "DLC" (I'm not sure if it was actually downloadable or if you had to buy the physical disk, but whatever) for NG+ that included the Deadbeat Dungeon (which was necessary since there's a bunch post-game content that's very high level (lvl 90+) and there's not enough content to smoothly level up your party to lvl 90 so the only way is to grind your ass off) and a bunch of those "collect a retarded amount of materials in a limited time period" quests that are meant to use up excess materials in NG+ when you can make furniture that shits out materials every day and shit like that. But since all of those features are available in a regular NG and the game never warns you that they're meant for NG+, most people end up thinking that the game is way grindier than it really is because they see the grind dungeon and the mass fetch quests and they don't know any better.
would play this if it weren't yuri desu
Once they get going they're great but the buildup takes 3-10 hours, I'm not willing to go through that.
is it made by japanese? if not i wont even bother
>translation never
there is nothing wrong with that
it's well written except shizune basic vn
girls are nice and soundtrack is top tier
some anons just hate it for autistic community or for being western vn
people wrongly treat "easy accessible for newcomes" as synonym to bad, like only niche, untranslated hidden gems can be good.
Hey, JOPiggies! Translate Mahoyo right NOW!
is muvluv worth buying on Steam?
It's worth playing, whether you want to buy it on Steam is up to you buddy.
>jap good
>west bad
i feel pity for you if thats your main criterion. dont think for yourself, dont try it. God forbid what if its actually good. but its impossible right?
>JOP
that doesn't even make sense
>Translate Mahoyo right NOW!
nah I read it years ago and on to new and better things
stop buying vns on steam
>that doesn't even make sense
Where the FUCK is the download for Our World is Ended on PC? It's been out 3 days now and still no torrent
Brainlets think the core arcs are bad because they're brainlets.
how about stop trying to force some shitty meme
Mate, JOP has been a thing for years. Have you somehow managed to avoid every english language VN community on the internet since 2012?
>VN community
dear god, have sex
Tell me your expectations for Miyao's game
A clusterfuck that has a couple of good ideas but is way too long and sloppily written like every other WTC meme.
RGD but chuuni
Also older Erika
only one i read is katawa shoujo and i don't want to read something that'd turn out to be better
Little Busters is based except for the time reset
hope she has cute fangs like erika
What did they mean by this?
Her eyes are black because they're reflecting my dick.
AHEM
it's not western tho, that's why it's good
Ppay the Silver Case
>Zero Escape trilogy
I'm still mad.
Still upset that AI got delayed to September because then I'll build my expectations up to be even more disappointed if Uchikoshi fucks up again
Don't die on me!
How has she still remained top waifu?
I can't
>true brainchad
EOPs will always be bottom feeding plebs
Takes too long to finish one. For the amount of time I need to finish one VN, I can probably clear about 5 - 10 anime shows from my backlog.
Having limited time after work doesn't help either.
She was purified in the washing machine of holiness.
