This thread is for the discussion of untranslated Japanese visual novels.
What are you playing? What are you looking forward to? What have you finished? You know the drill.

Man, this is boring.
>>14511586
I could only make it through Aurora's route and only because of her seiyuu.
>>14511594
I'm doing her route first as well for the same reason. Out of the other characters, I wish the maid had a route. Not sure if I'll make it through all routes, the other girls already want his dick and seem bland.
>>14511609
I don't remember the exact reason but lack of interest wasn't the only reason I dropped it, there was something about the endgame plot that made me to not want to read the other routes.
Hey, /jp/
Last time I read an untranslated VN, I used chiitrans lite for auto-translation, for when I faced unknown runes.
Anyway it seems that it's now dead, are there any new alternatives or are we back to the AGTH days?
>>14511634
Chiitrans Lite is alive and well
>>14511641
last update was a year ago, so I thought it was abandoned or something.
Hey, better news for me~
>>14511655
Well, I mean, it functions pretty damn well, it's about a 90% success rate, so even though it hasn't been updated that's fine. It'll definitely enable you to read enough VNs to hit fluent reading levels and not need to rely on it.
I'm playing 塔の下のエクセルキトゥス for the art and the not so boring gameplay's sake, but seriously those h-scenes became pretty annoying for my tastes.
Game has many minus point about the story / relationship developments / MC etc, but those h-scenes even surpass them. They just happens out of nowhere when you finish a dungeon without any build up, Girls just comes into MC's room > say "I'm really greatful to you so I thought I'd let you fuck me at least" even though mc did nothing > mc fucks them > end. Then another dungeon and another same shit again.
Also they not even mention shits like love, or being lovers, or having feeling for each other etc, not even a word. They just fuck, then oh ok bye see you tomorrow and thats it.
Well lets hope it changes as I play.
Why are good crossdressing themed games basically nonexistent?
>>14511728
Because they focus on the crossdressing and the daily life instead of a proper plot
>>14511728
Because crossdressing is by definition shit.
>>14511742
You're shit.
>>14511728
Otome ga Kanaderu Koi no Aria is good
Anyone played this 'maggot baits' game? How was it?
>>14511711
They're pandering to the narou crowd.
They're not the only company to do so. Shchara's new game and Eushully's Kami no Rhapsody also did so.
>>14511767
Gorey, violent, generally unhappy
>>14511780
>narou crowd
What are you referring to?
>>14511767
Harsh gore. The story is complex for a nukige, but it wasn't my thing.
>>14511848
Not him, but can you spoil some plot points?
I'm not gonna play it myself because of the content, but I am curious what kind of story such VN has.
>>14511728
Any game that is trying to pander to a particular fetish is always being to be constrained by it and focused on it and therefore not good in the general sense. Also because crossdressing is shit, how would you make something good out of a shit fetish?
>>14511916
This. And you can't expect a game to have a serious story and crossdressing, that doesn't make sense.
>>14512100
機関幕末異聞 ラストキャバリエ is pretty serious.
Although it's true that the crossdressing elements is really downplayed. It's probably just an excuse to have a women-only Shinsengumi and MC as the only male among them.
>>14512118
Just because the story tries to be serious doesn't mean it isn't funny. Any story with crossdressing as one of its main themes is a joke.
>>14511728
Tsuriotsu is pretty good.
>>14512263
The swamp of fashion and clothing design talk is impossible to slog through. Kind of a shame since the writing's great otherwise.
>>14512263
遊星 is like a girl with a penis, really, like the two routes and the common part I played really made me feel like I'm playing a yuri game. You don't feel like he is a he at all (at least to me).
才華 from 2 is better imo in terms of fitting into the category of crossdressing, he is much more masculine and more funny with all these tsukkomi he hasthough he himself also had some issues with being a male, like he doesn't fap because he can't have erection, due to the trauma he has after seeing his mother Luna buttlaping* his father and finding his father sexually desirable
>>14512315
>Spoiler
That's a new one
xxな彼女のつくりかた's couple kissa scenes have left me wanting for more.
I'm guessing these kind of scenes are only found in nukige? Anyone know of any other eroge with good scenes involving a couple kissa?
>>14512894
Custom Reido 4 and KanoTsuku2 by the same company.
>>14513408
Yeah, I probably should have mentioned I've checked out KISS's other stuff too. Hoping for a KanoTsuku3.
>>14513423
Not gonna happen when they can milk Custom Shit 3D 2 for another 10 years.
Any anons got excited when they announced this VN?
Just came here to bring in the news.

Starting from middle school this time.
Also
http://www.moon-stone.jp/product/ms22/
>>14513429
Is that Mashiro?
Just finished Maggot Baits.
This one really needs a raburabu fandisk. Some great character designs among the witches that I'd like to fap to, but they are wasted in the game for obvious reasons.
>battle scene where character gets hurt, cuts everywhere or something similar
>CG appears
>outfit 100% intact, maybe a bruise on the face
why
>>14513455
>moonstone
I hope it's not as shitty as NatsuIro
>>14513447
These middle school sprites are pretty cute.
None of the character designs really strike me though, most of the girls either look similar to those in other works the artists have done.
>>14513447
I just hope they don't pull the fake gainin speak garbage for Bethly. Koizumi Amane is definitely my favorite artist that tone works uses and that'll instantly ruin one of the heroine's she's drawing for me.
>>14513447
Looks great from the concept, long common route+early romance in middle school, proper romance in highschool and then adult after stories. Should be a bit more varied than hoshiori too, which is always a plus.
Also hoping Luna does a couple of the songs again.
>>14513447
Character design-wise the blonde and brown hair girls look pretty boring.
Little sister and senpai look decent.
The gyaru is definitely a hit.
>>14513754
She is not her, but Mashiro is one of the four heroines for some reason. What the fuck seriously, Let this new protagonist fuck her and go bankrupt immediately.
Tayutama was good?
>>14514051
Never heard of "multiple protagonists"?
>>14514203
I was just joking about the fuck part, but "One after story for older cast and 3 new heroine with new MC" doesn't seem very wise. When you have less than 4 heroines, your heroines gotta be really great or game'll fall very hard.
>>14513447
This game looks so comfy. Are the any other comfy winter VNs like this? I've played Kanon but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I live in Florida so I have to experience winter vicariously.
>>14514291
Try Amakano, or Amakano 2 which'll be released 4 days later.
>>14514291
Amakano.
http://www.studio-beast.com/chuusotsu/web_trial/start.htm
Trial by the maker of JQV, seems cute
I'm playing through Evenicle and I'm noticing that a lot of scenes are unvoiced, even some story relevant ones. What exactly is the reason behind that? Is it just to increase text amount without having to pay for more seiyuu time?
Finally reading bokutomo's true end, after almost four months.
Had to redo the whole game because the savedata wasn't compatible, what a great way to start.
lazyness or some sort of homage?
>>14515437
>lazyness
more like lack of budget, CGs cost money
Do you like it when the audio balance is shifted to the side of the screen characters are on?
I really like it when it's subtle, but hate it when it's overdone (though thankfully, you can usually turn it off in that case).
>>14513447
Looks like another winner for tone works
>>14514061
If you played Tayutama, you'll know Mashiro is a solid 10 waifu. I'm guessing the Nippons wants her back because of her perfect waifu personality.
>Tayutama was good?
Get Mashiro route and leave everything else and the game will be good.
>>14515948
>I'm guessing the Nippons wants her back because of her perfect waifu personality.
Or more like Lump of Sugar is bringing their legendary heroine back after a huge unsuccesful series. In their last 10 games only Magical Charming were good, and maybe Hanairo just because of Miyuri.
They are great at making interesting systems though, they just gotta work more about the plot / stories.
>>14513447
Looks like Hoshiori with snow and an imouto.
I'm already sold.
About to start reading Akatsuki no Goei. Any of the fandisc/sequel stuff worth reading if I enjoy it?
>>14516060
All three games are intended to be read together. You are not going to get complete story if you don't do Shuumatsuron.
Reminiscense is not really "sequel". Its far future with completely amnesiac Kaito and robot guy.
>>14516071
Thanks! That works out, I grabbed all 3 in a pack anyway in case it included an updated version of the original or whatever. main->fandisc->sequel?
And they looked like more of a spinoff thing, any good / similar to the originals?
>>14516000
>after a huge unsuccessful series
>they just gotta work more about the plot / stories.
True that. Their games that were released after Hello Goodbye got me with a mixed of opinions.
Diamic Days - bland.
Royal Seven Stars - it's great, common route was funny but the heroine routes are a mixed of boring and comfy.
Hanairo - comfy. I went for Izukiand it sux.
Magical Charming - I'm with you it's good but the card choices makes me feel like they're selling me something... which they really did.
Sekai to Sekai - comfy.
Unmei - too weird, dropped.
Rensou - dropped.
Kodomo - currently playing...
>>14516049
That combo got me too. Its going to be nice playing this in the heat of summer
>>14515437
I dropped サクラノ詩 less then an 20 min in. I kinda wish vns would start stronger. Utawarerumono 2 had me stuck on it from the first minute.
How shit is Unionism Quartet? How shit is the protagonist? Knight girls are moe but I have a low donkan MC tolerance.
>>14516469
>I kinda wish vns would start stronger.
The problem is you, not VNs.
>>14516478
If your story has no hook within 30 minutes it's not worth reading.
>>14516486
Like I said, the problem is you.
>>14516477
From what I remember it's alright read for 1 route because all of the route follow the event in the story with only minor detours. Side routes were alright as well IIRC. Protagonist isn't a shit from memory either, but still isn't anything special
>>14516488
So when is it acceptable for a novel to start being good for you? 20 hours in?
>>14516496
Alright, thanks!
>>14516496
It's worth 2 if Silveria wasn't your first heroine choice, the side plots besides hers aren't that interesting and there's not much point doing them unless you just want to fuck the girls.
>>14516498
Whenever. It doesn't really matter to me if a novel has a slow or bad start. I've read plenty of novels with bad starts but worthwhile middle/ends so I have just gotten into the habit of sticking with them.
>>14516498
Not him but the prologue (In the case of a short prologue the common route instead) is how long I allow the eroge to grab my attention, I won't continue past that unless I've heard some impressive things about the game itself
>>14516537
>common route instead
Some common routes are long and boring, some common routes are the best parts of a vn. It's always hard to judge what is worth reading. That's why I set a strict 30 minute policy. I don't need explosions or a serious plot hook immediately but it has to be more then boy goes to school for 30 minutes, that's when I know it's time to bail.
>>14516516
Different anon here, I thought they were all the same, maybe someday I will go back and read it.
>>14516569
Silveria has a rather different ending to the main event and because she doesn't live with the MC (unlike the other heroines) her side stuff had little to no overlap with the other heroines
>>14511767
Story was eh, porn was really good (if that s what you enjoy, of course). I wholeheartedly recommend it as a nukige, not so much as a VN.
>>14516488
He's not wrong tho. Sakura no Uta has a weak beginning, there's no denying it. I like slice of life, but that was just not very good SoL.
>>14516801
I was implying the problem lies in his impatience, not that no VN has a slow/bad start.
>>14511767
it was a faggot bait
>>14515437
There are a bunch of Sakuuta backgrounds that got reused in other Makura games. Possibly because they gave up on Sakuuta ever actually coming out.
>>14514061
I played it like 5 years ago so I don't remember too many details
osananajimi: worst girl ever. EVER. two friends of mine also agree that she's the most annoying shit ever.
kaichou: decent. I liked her alot.
mashiro: dropped becauseof terrible first time H experience. this kind of shit also happened in the kaichou route. I didn't feel comfortable after seeing mashiro crying and therefore deleted it
imouto; didn't do because of abovesaid
the story is a bit boring. bigger problem is that the individual routes overlap way too much. if you play 1 route you pretty much know what's going to happen. if you play another route you'll see how they recycle the same (LITERALLY) stuffs, just in different orders. very little new content.
I don't think it's their best games, personally I like magical charming/rensou relation much more
>>14516488
Are you trolling? Anyway the beginning is boring for anyone not interested in overanalyzing scaji prose, it got interesting only after Zypressen for me which is after several hours. Most VNs get me hooked in the first half of the common route, at least. It might have to do with the span of time SakuUta was written in.
>>14516888
Thanks. Maybe I'll play it after Magical Charming since Tayutama seems short enough.
>spoiler
Maybe I'll just skip it then.
>>14517383
I will agree that chapter 1 of SakuUta was really boring. But it got better from chapter 2 onwards
>>14514619
Its an rpg don't expect to have voices on everything
So did anyone else play the gameplay trial of GoD2?
I found it prety fun so far, plot too is more enjoyable to read with narration compared to first one.
Can't wait for the full game now.
>>14516049
Man i loved hoshiori. Anyone got any recommendations for similar games?
>>14517620
I hate their new art style. It feels so lifeless.
So Maitetsu.

Appearently it's popular. And cura's into it.
Monobeno was somewhat appealing even for people who aren't into loli. I'm not getting the same interesting vibes from Maitetsu at all. Going to pass on this.
>>14517829
The main theme is trains this time, so no wonder if you're not into that.
>>14517829
Everything about it except the character designs is not my thing at all. I'm just going to wait until the save data is out and fap to the h-scenes.
>>14517829
>>14517834
>Implying theres anything to do other than fap to the CGs
>>14517839
The CGs on their own aren't that great. Monobeno wasn't very well drawn in that department. The voices and writing were what made them fap worthy.
while starting another playthrough in order to clean up the remaining heroines, I noticed that this game begins on this day, exactly twenty years ago.
picking this up so many years later, it really makes you wonder how many people who played this back in the day still read eroge, or are even alive for that matter.
>>14517877
Huh, someone else currently playing this.
Playing without a walkthrough and only managed to clear a single heroine on first playthrough.
That was pretty surprising after how easy the first Doukyuusei was (with some exceptions)
>>14517619
It's really weird. The King was unvoiced when you meet him, but then in the tiny scene where he gives you a secret mission, he's voiced. I feel like the scene where you meet him would have been voiced.
>>14516807
Not everyone has that much time to invest in fiction, especially if you're still unsure if it's going to be worth it in the end after a few hours in.
>>14518290
I ignore everyone who mentions lack of time while posting on 4chan. Nobody manages time perfectly, no one completely avoids wasting time, I don't mind investing some time on a potentially bad novel.
Have you guys played 駄作? I'm not a fan of the comical gore and gratuitous mental breakdowns but fuck me if the main character design is not godly. Throughout the whole game the only thing on my mind was how cute she is.
Why aren't there morefutagames out there? Just replace every other annoying pussy harem lead with one and the world would be so much better.
>>14518584
I'm ok with them in nukige, but not in pure love moege. No way.
>>14518584
Nah, I haven't gotten around to SnU yet
>>14518584
Yes, it was horrifying. I don't even understand why I liked it.
>seiyuu you like voices a character
>it's an ear-splitting pitch compared to the way she sounded in other games
FUCK
I'm not sure which I like more, those who always sound exactly the same or those who make an effort to change the pitch on their voice. Some variety is nice but at other times, fuck.
>>14519181
>Seiyuu has 1 particular voice you like
>Rarely uses it or uses a much more soft version of it which you don't like anywhere near as much
Suffering
>>14519223
Exactly my case with 歩サラ. I love her strong/sadistic voice in LOVEREC so much but she does soft voice roles in every other game.
>>14519223
Goddamn, that's exactly Aoba Ringo and Natsuno Koori for me.
Not that the former has gotten much work at all recently though.
>>14519223
Standard fare for Tanaka Ryouko
>>14517970
I didnt clear even one heroine in my first playthrough of this. could have sworn I got Izumi in my first playthrough, however as it turns out there is an elaborate onsen trip event I missed. I also went pretty far with kozue, but must have screwed up somehow at her H-scene, which by the way would surely trigger certain people to death.
yes, the plotlines and all do seem to be a good deal more elaborate than in the first one, I also find the overall execution of the game to be more "professional".
>>14519809

she first pushes the protagonist in a drunken state to the bed, but then changes her mind after sobering up, the protagonist however ignores her repeated and emphatic calls to stop the act. so, the people in question are exactly those who ask for so-called "trigger warnings".
>>14516888
If you're still there, what's your input on Rensou Relation? I just dropped it because it was too sweet.The MC is too lucky that he got into a prestigious school because of connections. Surrounded by nicest friends. qt cousins are just next door. 2 heroines are his neighbors.I didn't enjoyed it and it was too much.
>>14519809
Kozue was the one I cleared, got her last event on the last day.
Only cleared Minori on second playthrough but didn't get her H-scene.
I got pretty mad at fucking up Azumi after the Christmas event.It resulted in Tendou getting her and reminding you he's fucking her for the rest of the game.
>>14519950
mediocre, I can only say this because I'm too biased, arisa is too cute and I liked her so much that I rate this game higher than it should be simply because of her.
if you play to a point and you feel like this game is not for you,free to drop it, it's just a moege after all, it's not like things will get better, probably only worse.
it does explain why MC is such a lucky sukebei in one of the routes though.ichika is MC's childhood friend and arranged everything
>>14520704
Thanks man. That's nice, I was aiming for Arisa too but MC got too lucky, so I dropped the game.
If I got time, I'll pick it up again and go for her route or maybe all of them just to know the full story. I'm still playing Kodomo right now.
>spoilers -arranged everything
This lucky motherfucker got a wingwoman!? REEEEEE
>>14521307
How's Kodomo no Asobi? I checked out the HCG set and the main girl has one really great H scene, so I might be interested in actually playing it too.
>>14521334
I'm on the common route, I haven't got onto one of the heroines route yet. Here's my opinion, it's kinda good so far but the story got a bit copied from the anime Noucomebecause the MC got a 'curse of two choices' and how the main girl dressed looks like Choco.. Main girl is a total qt all the time and has a bit of that tsundere personality.
Here's the story, if you want to know...The main girl(Sera) is a demon. 7 years ago, She was summoned from some spirit world by MC and his friends, that includes the heroines, to grant their wishes.
In order for Sera to grant their wishes, they need to go in a contract with her and some compensation. Sera demanded their 'Love' as a compensation for the contract. MC and his friends made the deal and got their wishes granted.
After that, MC and his friends didn't remember what happened. They have no idea what their relationship was and their wishes back 7 years ago. MC got the 'curse of two choices' now. He has no idea why he got this curse because he didn't remember.
Now, Sera went back to the human world to find MC, because she's in love with him and also wants to null the contract because of it. She's in love with him because the 'Love' she got was too powerful to contain in her. The heroines got a big crush on MC back 7 years ago and the 'Love' they paid to Sera was too unbearable for her to handle that she confesses to MC when they both met.
They're in a mess trying to fix them up and blah blah blah...
Oh my. That'll be it.
>>14520521
how do you even fuck up with azumi after coming so far? I cant remember any important choices during her route and the one time I didnt manage to go after her, tendou failed on his own with her. I assume though that at least you wont see a CG of him jizzing on her, unlike with a certain other girl (the worst one btw).
>>14521905
Premise sounds interesting enough, might pick it up.
>>14521920She starts getting chased around a few days after Christmas and if you don't meet her enough you don't get to go to the park with her at night to give her advice.
A few days later Tendou shows up at your house and gloats about how he's now going out with her. He'll keep on telling you what he's doing with her every time you run into him after that.
There's no new CG but you get a unique tachi-e if you go to the hotel at night later.
Holy shit. 群青の空を越えて has a similar setting to Innocent Bullet, in terms of students also being soldiers, but it handles it so much fucking better it blows my mind. The desperation and panic that hits when an alarm sounds in 群青 is just so much more real than Innocent Bullets "time to play with anime girls and space monsters" nonsense.
Can someone help me translate this? I'm stumped.

This ain't DJT bud
All Japanese is Japanese. Nothing is really that much easier to read than anything else. It's all Japanese.
>>14522344
Oh that sucks.
>>14522344
That's completely untrue. Some writing styles are far more difficult to follow than others, and in terms of vocabulary the less varied it is the easier it is for the inexperienced reader.
>>14522356
This. Some chuuni shit like Dies Irae get really convoluted, whereas SoL and drama vns are usually straightfoward and easy to understand.
>>14522356
I was just generalizing. There are some outliers like Mareni but for the vast majority of authors, it's all pretty much the same difficulty. Not like Moege #1214 is really much harder than Moege #52423 If you want to be pedantic, then "almost all visual novels have roughly the same difficult with little variance".
>>14522370
Having read Dies Irae and other chuunishit, their difficulty is really exaggerated, probably by people who haven't read them. The bulk of the text is just normal Japanese you'd find anywhere.
>>14522356
That's not the point. The other guy was right. He clearly doesn't belong here. The sooner he leaves the better.
>>14522344
>All Japanese is Japanese. Nothing is really that much easier to read than anything else. It's all Japanese.

>like CLANNAD or Flyable Heart
Should be than, not like. CLANNAD is some of the easiest shit I've read, only problem is it's too long for beginners.
"Difficulty" rankings are fucking stupid. Just go read what you want to read and if it's too hard then try something else instead.

>>14522985
Sometimes you see something so dumb you feel compelled to call it out. The point is satisfying that feeling.
>>14522818
Good for you, I guess.
PC's got Final Complete anyways.
This game looks like it will have a high difficulty ranking
For my dick
I don't know how a girl who can't express emotions could make me feel this much for her. I was thinking her route was going to be the most boring thing ever but I think I'm falling in love with her for real. It's been such a long time since I've felt this from any eroge I've played.
>>14523191
>I don't know how a girl who can't express emotions could make me feel this much for her.
That's big. I only played prettyxcation 2 but I guess it's time to pic this one.
>>14523341
It's quite comfy and relaxing, I like it. At the same time there feels like a goal and point to her route. I'm not even at the meat of the story and apparently it gets more emotional later on so I am looking forward to it.
>>14523191
That damn white apron
>>14523361
What does the difficulty options do?
How is White Album 1? Not in comparison to WA2, but as its own entity?
>>14523361
Cation series has been always comfy and relaxing, the build up to the relationship is truly great, the problem starts when you start dating, things get boring and the game turns into nukige with almost 10 h-scene every five minutes and some little drama at the end. At least PrettyxCation2 was like this. I hope this is different.
>>14523388
Easy = I want to just play the route and get the CGs (Lowers the required stats for scenes and such, if you fail at this difficulty you might as well shoot yourself)
Normal = I want to play the game properly
Regardless of the difficulty you still need to get the right items to get some scenes
>>14523191
I feel the same but with Wakoto instead. I couldn't bring myself to play other routes because I feel doing so would be akin to betraying her, as pathetic as that sounds.
>>14523409
>things get boring and the game turns into nukige with almost 10 h-scene every five minutes
I hope this is not the case. I like H-scenes and all but I wasn't expecting this game to turn into a nukige.
>>14523413
I also do the same thing with heroines I really like. Sometimes it just feels wrong to play other routes.
>>14523432
The only time LxC2 turns into somethign resembling a nukige is during Golden week and even then there is stuff in between the scenes
>>14523361
> there feels like a goal
Yah, thats why I enjoyed her route. It makes you want to cheer her on and support her so she can accomplish her goal. It was a nice change of pace than the other routes.
>>14523432
Imagine what happens when 2 of those heroines appear in the same game.
>>14523188
It looks like shit. They're all flat and shit.
The more I play Gunjou the more surprised I am at how high quality it is. It's like I had forgotten how good VNs can really be. I don't want to just lavish praise onto it, especially since I've only been reading for cumulatively a hour or two, but I'm already rethinking my perspective on a lot of games simply because they're far worse and didn't manage a fraction of this... intelligence? Finesse? Basically, the writing is good, and doesn't make me cringe unendlingly like Innocent Bullet and other games that try to be mature and deep but fail miserably. Gunjou just is mature naturally and smoothly.

All rosebleu games after tiny dungeon were utter shit.

To be fair tiny dungeon was rather uneven series itself.
How are the games before it?

I'm not sure if I can trust anything with giga's name on it to be good anymore.
>>14524485
It's written by Hiei so it's very unlikely to be another Baldr Sky Zero, at least.
>>14524485
It says 卑影ムラサキ for scenario, so it cannot be bad.
>>14522375
True, and then suddenly Mercurius start talking.
>>14524495
Have you read his stuf outside baldr? A lot of it is very mediocre and I can't seem to find his name on anything that came after Lewdness.
I really hope I'm just being paranoid.
>>14524505
He just writes nukige outside of Baldr, he probably doesn't even try.

No. It's better to be positively surprised than have high expectations, be disappointed and keep lying to yourself about how something not that good is great because you really want it to be great.
>>14524529
No, Sony did. Consoles have very strict standards on what can and can't be released.
>>14524479
New Narahara's game when?
>>14524545
Monobeno: Pure Smile made it to Vita.
>>14524479
Nice. Didn't expect to see another Baldr game from Hiei anytime soon.
>>14524479
FUCKING YES.
I'm worried about the gameplay, though. Don't be like Zero!
>>14524405
So top girl is a foreigner (part Jap? Her first name is kinda strange for the rest) prodigy who is a teacher and has moe moments because she is so small to be a teacher.
Second girl is a drunkard lesbian who seems to act like Mai from Nichijou normally, but will probably get drunk and become wild during the game.
Third girl is basically an ara ara milf in a little girl body with an oddly long name.
I don't know what to make of the 4th girl. She seems annoying.
>>14524405
They're like 4 years old. Why are people into this shit
>>14524882
Same could be said of the opposite
>They're like 40 years old. Why are people into this shit
Different people, different niches.
Why people like anything beyond ~11 to 25ish is beyond me too though.
>>14524405
I just wish they'd get someone who can draw.
>>14524882
Surely they're all 18+. I mean, one is a teacher, one is skilled-milker etc.
just finished flyable heart
personally I don't like howwhat MC did also affects the other/parallel world. this makes the whole parallel world travelling thing feels a bit irrelevant at times, especially in some of the routes like amane/mayuri/kururi. or maybe it's because I personally have a different view on parallel wold and was expecting MC to become a person who comes back from missing when he returns to his own world
but oh well it sure is a good game, definitely wasn't expecting it to be one such amount of feelings
Why is Tasogare no Sinsemilia not about weed? What's with the misleading title?
>>14524968
DUDE
I always hate it in eroge when they fuck right after having their first kiss/confession. What is progression? They waste all their time on the stupid pointless shit and other characters in the common route yet they don't bother to develop the MC's and heroine's relationship properly.

Most eroge are about teenagers.

Realistically MC and the girls should be fucking everyone then. Good thing pure love games aren't supposed to be realistic, they are idealized. Writers are just lazy and would rather write school festival shenanigans than actual routes.
I forgot my external HDD with all the screenshots, but luckily archive exists. It's that time of the year again.
>>14525269
Are there any eroge where the characters wait until marriage?
>>14525338
NTR games.
>>14525338
No because even in eroge girls are sluts who will give it up after 2 weeks of knowing a guy.

世界を救うだけの簡単なお仕事
no, boring game, boring protagonist, boring heroines
I'm using Visual Novel Reader for my VNs, it works great and shows some pretty good translations that allow me to always understand everything, but there is one thing that bothers me, it doesn't seem to translate options and choices. Sometimes even names, but that's not a big deal because characters mentions them often, it's the VNs with choices the MC has to make that are problematic, it never once recognizes them. Is there a solution to this?
Also wondering a couple of things, though not a big deal, is there a way to tell it to not translate numbers or non-Japanese characters, for partially translated novels? Any tips to improve the translation in general? I use LEC Power Translator and it works great and everything, but sometimes it refuses to translate some things and just leaves them in Japanese. Locations and names are especially victim to this.
>>14525402
It relies on text hooks to pull the text from the game. Usually choices and such are in a separate hook from the dialog box. You can see all available hooks in text settings and can define what it takes from there.
As for unstranslated (or often mistranslated) parts, there's not really a lot you can do beyond improving your own understanding of the language. It relies on dictionaries to translate and some things, like names, rare words and some more unique concepts, will never be translated because they aren't in the said dictionary.
That said, /vg/ can probably help you more with it.
>>14525402
Sometimes options are part of the same text thread, sometimes they're a different one and sometimes you're shit out of luck. I usually play with a walkthrough anyway (especially after my first playthrough), so it's not much of a problem for me.
Just pause it when you're reading untranslated parts.
I manually add translations for names and some common terms (unique to the game's setting, for example) and such.
TTS to read the MC's or other unvoiced lines helps me a lot. You can just hotkey it.
Brace for incoming shitstorm, I'm the same as you but mostly just lurk. You may have better luck in /vg/ as >>14525425 said.
>>14525434
And I meant to say pause it for translated parts from a partial translation, not untranslated.
>>14525434
>>14525425
/vg/ told me they only cover translated VNs in their generals, so I've come here. Regardless, doesn't seem like there is much I can do, I'll try to hook text more often and see if it helps.
>>14525464
Here the idea is that you actually know Japanese (enough to read VNs). Try it out too.

今夜、妻が父に抱かれます…

Don't people do that in real life? In fact don't they fuck before even kissing?
>>14525477
At what point can you stop relying on text hookers and read without looking words up? I can't see myself ever getting to that point.
>>14525547
How can you walk before you crawl. You're asking for how you can skip the step of looking up words to find what they mean to go straight to the step of looking at every word and know what they mean
>>14525547
Well first you actually have to study.
>>14525547
I never used a text hooker, I used OCR for my first VN and just jisho to look for the kanji I didn't know after that
After 2-3 VNs I could go through a VN without stopping ever 2 minutes
Sometime when something is too convenient you don't feel like moving on, I was afraid of that and that's why I never used a text hooker, you need to learn to let go and do it the hard way too
>>14525554
Well when I was learning english I didn't really have to look up that man words. Right now it feels like I have to look up everything.
>>14525561
Yeah right. So in grade school you didn't have near daily spelling tests and workbooks where the teacher goes over ten words over and over again in different situations and meanings.
>>14525566
No we only had grammar tests. I've never had a spelling test.

I'm sorry for what happened between us. I don't care about the rules. You guys might not be welcome in /vn/ anymore, but you will always have a place in my heart. I hope this stupid autistic fit will end soon.
Merry Christmas.
So in the end, what the hell happened to Blasterhead?
http://blasterhead.product.co.jp/index2.html
>>14525618
We are the ones who drived out EOPs from here in the first place, and we are pretty satisfied with the current system.
Why are these threads so much better than the Visual Novel translation threads?
I feel like I'm the only one here who doesn't care about EOPs.
>>14525701
My running theory is that only in this thread do people actually read VNs, whereas VNTS (and /vg/) spend more of their time waiting than reading, leading to a lot more meta posting -> low quality threads.
>>14525701
The amount of things per month that they can read is zero or near zero for essentially every month. Because they can't read anything, they instead discus the status of their cleaned up machine translations that they're unlikely to receive. That discussion tends to involve circlejerking over whichever e-celebrity is hot at the moment.
When they do discuss recent games, it is either summaries of what happens or "translations" of scenes that someone has blessed them with. They will then proceed to argue the merits and demerits of a game that they will never play based on what others have told them.
Add a bunch of circlejerking over tripfags and namefags and you have one shit sandwich.

>>14524957
I don't agree with your criticism.Having Shou disappear in the other dimension would've introduced a whole bunch of confusion and drama upon returning, which in turn would've distracted from the overall plot of each arc. There's no way they could've made that work and maintained the coherence and distinct thematic value of each route. While their method did make the parallel worlds slightly meaningless in Mayuri's route, the route was amazing and one of the best because of it. Plus, it usually works out poorly when characters lose their memories of events due to time shifts, as it spoils all character development built up during that time.
