Love knows not the bounds of age. It's ok to love someone who is 5 times younger than you are.

If so, then no it isn't.

Aside from YMK any VNs where I can save girls from bullying?
>>128027381
Symphonic Rain.
Kind of.
Reminder, if you think this line is even remotely difficult then you've never read a light novel, much less an actual book. I'm just not a beginner from DJT like you guys are. Lines like that are incredibly common in any sort of fantasy fiction. You're either new to Japanese or just read moege all the time.
Reminder that Fal is best SR and did nothing wrong.

Are you making me out to be a second Angra Mainyu?
Very well, I'll take all the evils of /vn/. Lay them on me.

After nekopara vol.2 comes out cause thats goin on there forsure.
Someone motivate me to not quit translating please.
>>128031897
Didn't she have lesbian sex with Kazuki? Fucking slut.
>>128028692
Great hips, too.
Must be from the martial arts training.
>>128031863
Well we need to answer these questions.
1) Are the triplet moeges - Princess Evangile, Koirizo, and KoiChoco - actually good enough to be put onto the chart?
2) Are Bunny Black and Euphoria worth putting on the chart despite being nukige? (probably not)
3) Is Noble Works good enough to be put on the chart?
4) Does Rose Gun Days deserve a spot or does R07 have evough??
5) Gahkthun does deserve a spot.
6) Does Eden* deserve a spot?
7) Should Kara no Shoujo 2 be appended to Kara no Shoujo 1?
>>128032062
What are you translating?
>>128032062
You can sell out and make money!
>>128032062
Fuck it. You're probably just translating some kusoge anyways.
>>128032062
just stop, EOPs don't deserve it, just look at them, in here, in fuwanovel, in reddit, fuck them all.
>>128031828
>>128031736
>>128031565
>>128031863
thank you good anons!
>>128032062
What's the point?
>>128032062
Don't mind the shitposters.
We all believe in you!
>>128032126
Not to my knowledge, then again I havent read Meikyuu or Rakuen. If she did in the latter games shouldn't you use spoiler tags?
>>128032216
Just put them all in, EOPs have few enough modern vns as it is.
>>128032126
That was one of the non-canon scenes, like the ones with Chizuru and JB's brown assistant.Though it would've been extremely hot if they actually had scissored in the woods
>>128032509
The chart only accepts 6 spots a year, and those are 10 games.
>>128032216
1. no
2. Bunny black perhaps, euphoria probably not
3. Should've added it to the 1), basically the same thing
4. No idea
5. Absolutely
6. Yes
7. Yes
Fuck off tripfag
>>128032216
Eden is already there. KnS2 should get a note inside KnS1's box.
Euphoria hell no, you don't want a newcomer thinking scat nukige represents VNs.
Gakthun certainly, since the Steampunk series can be read independently from each other so they need separate entries.
The three moeges of the year would be too much.
Then we need to add what we overlooked in the past, Kazoku Keikaku, Aoishiro, Ikikoi and Crescendo.
>>128032609
That's only 3-4 out of 6
>>128032550
>when you realize it's going to be a long time til you see Chizuru get the dick
Glad I decided to quit being an EOP this year
>>128032550
WHERE AND WHEN DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN?
>>128032726
>>128032550
Fuck off tripfag
>>128032550
Fuck off tripfag.
>>128032726
>>128032905
>>128032970
how new are you?
>>128032216
1) Are the triplet moeges - Princess Evangile, Koirizo, and KoiChoco - actually good enough to be put onto the chart?
Koirizo does what a moege is supposed to do very well, so yes
PE might deserve a spot as well
No for KoiChoco
2) Are Bunny Black and Euphoria worth putting on the chart despite being nukige? (probably not)
Possibly Euphoria just so that there's one of it's type on the chart
3) Is Noble Works good enough to be put on the chart?
Just like PE, possibly if there's enough room
4) Does Rose Gun Days deserve a spot or does R07 have evough??
5) Gahkthun does deserve a spot.
No opinion
6) Does Eden* deserve a spot?
It should keep its spot, it's one of the best "short" length VNs and is also on Steam, making it one of the best newbie VNs.
Also, lolis
7) Should Kara no Shoujo 2 be appended to Kara no Shoujo 1?
Yes
>>128032726
>>128032905
>>128032970
No bullying the resident lolicon, you idiots.
>>128032398
she doesn't, Labirinth and Eden have "Dave's Fap Channel" where you can see a mindless, no-plot, non canon sex scene of your female of choice.
one of those scenes is Amane and Kazuki.
The best one is Yuuji fucking the whole basketball club, because it's so ridiculous.
>>128032773
As much as I like Gahkthun, some of its few sex scenes probably aren't for newcomers. It's use of repetition could also turn people off.
>>128032216
people give Koirizo shit, but its great as a relaxation title, and in that aspect alone I think its great.
>>128033137
Hi Quof.
>>128033137
No, Yuri is always the best.
>>128032775
Hence that's just an opinion, i wouldn't mind giving some moeges spot, koirizo porbably fits the picture, even princess evangelion might cut it, despite me hating it from the bottom of my heart.
>>128033197
Before they get to them, they would be far too immersed in to stop, it definitely deserves a spot on the list.
>>128033137
Doesn't hefuck his momat some point ?
>>128033137
>Yuuji fucking the whole basketball club
no fucking way...
I wish i wasn't an EOP. but this year they are coming out so patience. fuck..
>>128032726
What the fuck happened to tripfags?
There were plenty of them on every boards a few years ago and now they're like an endangered species.
>>128033637
There's still plenty on /a/, I would dare say more than few years ago
>>128033059
If you're going to put nukige in the chart then add Bible Black first.
It's baby's first nukige and it's still a must read by today's standards.
>>128033631
>I wish i wasn't an EOP
you can start learning at any time
>>128033780
I have BB in my computer but haven't even installed it because the heroine gets fucked in the ass in a NTR-esque scene.
From what I remember from the ovas, at least
>>128033771
No, definitely less.
I remember some autistic fuck made a tripfag charts a few years ago and there were at least 40 different names.
>>128033953
Yeah how?
Any of you guys played Teaching Feeling yet?
>>128033631
Yeah. It's safe to say that the h-scenes in Meikyuu and Rakuen are a lot better than the ones in Kaijutsu.
>>128033527
Yes, bottom left it's a scene with her.
how does one tripfag?
>>128034253
You have to buy a 4chan Gold pass.
>>128032773
>Then we need to add what we overlooked in the past, Kazoku Keikaku, Aoishiro, Ikikoi and Crescendo.
Good point.
My suggested six additions considering all the replies:
1) Gahkthun
2) Aoishiro
3) Crescendo
4) One of the triplet moeges (Noble Works seems to be the best overall, no awful main heroine like KoiChoco and no Headmistress of Princess Evangile)
5) Eiyuu Senki (or bunny black)*
(newbie section) 6): KoiRizo (after all Kira Kira is on there)
* While looking through VNDB I noticed a couple games I missed which may be worth adding. They are: Eiyuu Senki, Teaching Feeling (lol), the Utena Sega Saturn game (but no one played it https://vndb.org/r27214), and Air https://vndb.org/r28238. Ikikoi I didn't include because reception is lukewarm, I didn't include Kazoku Keikaku because I heard the translation is awful.
This'll probably be my last post on the matter, whoever updates the chart can use this as a base, it comes down to opinion really.
>>128034253
You have to be born with the <<Power>>
>>128034253
Like this.
>>128034105
there's plenty of guides out there, plus you can just ask one of the anons here how they did it
>>128034164
Fantastic
>>128034340
Oh yeah, also Eve Burst Error and Phantom of the Inferno are two other kamiges not on the chart. Both due to age I imagine. Food for thought. Good luck everyone.
>>128034340
Eiyuu senki, i forgot about that, that would be a fine choice.
>>128034519
Isn't Phantom an absolute mess to get working?
Major Noble Works spoiler alert!
>>128034428
>camaraderie
>>128033771
They have all moved to a more respectable place like Reddit.
>>128034623
Yeah i fuckin agree
>>128032216
Remove shit moege, add Kazoku Keikaku, Euphoria and Bunny Black. Obviously Gahkthun as well.

>remove shit moege
>add literal shit
Legit, can someone just tell me what happens at the end of hinatas route because i am not trying to do this at all
Almost all the bonus sex scenes in Meikyuu and Rakuen were incredibly dumb.
The final Chizuru one was nice though especially since the ones in Meikyuu were just making fun of her.
>>128034370
but you should know that No one man should have all that power
>>128034519
Phantom is a VLC game, fuck working with that.
>>128034370
Do you have to activate THAT?
>>128034859A demon shaped like a bull is summoned, but it is defeated by the holy sword. Then the gate to the Palace of the Dragon King is closed.
>>128034428
Okay.
Yo /vn/ how did you learn Japanese?
Why not add a moege section?
>>128034859Ending was about Hinata pretending to be confined by her grandfather and Takumi decided to steal her. It was a ploy by the grandfather to see if he truly loved Hinata.
>>128035131
Wtf VN is that? it sounds boring as fuck. all fantasy VN's are boring as fuck.
Is there a Mind of Steel route in Grisaia?
>>128035161
I downloaded google IME and remembered a few words from the medium i spent hundred of hours in so i can pretend i know japanese on mongol picture boards
>>128035325
Remember when Fate/HA was the longest ongoing translation ever and then when it finally came out it turned out to be shit? Good times.
>>128035450
>Good times.
I certainly didn't have a good time reading it, that's for sure.

Oh thank you so much anon, yeah im not gonna read the rest,i was just at the part where takumi and hinata have sex for the second time in his flatand I absolutely did not want to continue it was boring me to tears. Now onto supposedly the best route Mayacchi
Why is this thread so shit?
>>128034105
Grind hiragana first, should take you a day if you aren't braindead
Then go to kanjidamage and just browse through the kanji page.
Now Kanjidamage is shit and the definition he give are downright wrong most of the time but he explains how kanji are composed and the way to memorize them in a pretty clear way
Spend a few days on it but don't take it too far because again,Kanjidamage is shit
Then download the application Obenkyo, this will be your main tool
It contains everything you need from Tae Kim to kanji divided either in JLTP level or school grade level to vocabulary divided in the same way.
If you use it every days during about 3 months you'll get good enough to read stuff, needing help of course but japanese will not be a bunch of noodles anymore.
I'll recommend reading manga and ero doujin and the likes, reading VNs with agth is good but I don't advocate relying on tools too much.
Try reading a LN with OCR is a good idea though
If you do this I'd say in about 7-8 months you will be good enough to read most average level stuff
There will be days where you'll feel like you are the best ever and can read everything and there will be days where you'll feel like you can't read shit and forgot everything you learned, the most important thing is to just keep at it
Learning japanese is a uphill battle and you never stop doing it, even someone who has been learning japanese for several years will need to google some strange vocabulary at times
But it's worth it and not as hard you'd think it is
>>128035885
why is your face so shit?

Nobel Works is extremely poorly translated though.
>>128036245
>>128036353
Hello Reddit.
>>128036245
Ryuukishi only dishes out shit nowadays.
>>128036424
So are plenty of other fan translations on there.
What's up with English and that stupid "et tu ..." expression?
>>128036502
It would still make massive Steam bux. And Steam users are fine with shit as long as it has good art.
What are you reading?

Your post.
>>128036742
Nobleworks then im split between Koisuru or Gahkthun. im not sure if i wanna do a "srs" VN or keep it going with Moege next
>>128036231
Why does she need glasses if she's deaf?
>>128036804
It's actually Latin.
>>128036798
>>128036804

I'm pretty sure Caesar's last words were "tu quoque mi fili" and not "et tu whatever".
>>128036742
Nikola Tesla the kamen rider
>>128036804
You mean remove ones that are poorly translated? I mean, Noble Works is at least translated well enough to be enjoyable. If you were to remove mediocre translations you'd be telling people not to read some genuinely good games, like Hoshizora.
>>128037017
It's from a famous shakespeare play mong
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_tu,_Brute%3F
>>128037116
Sorry, friend, that's an otome game, and belongs in /blog/.
>>128037017
It is but its probably because its said at the end of Shakespeares "Julius Caesar" I think
>>128036680
Look up Julius Cesare and who Brutus was. Your most trusted friend has betrayed you.
>>128037238
Why don't you tag your spoilers?
>>128037119

When I say "srs" VN i mean its not Moege, a Plotge I guess.
>>128037396
One of the most famous quotes in literature is hardly a spoiler.
>>128037571
It's about as "srs" as Demonbane.
>>128037450
Thats not always the case. Everlasting Summer has shite art but okay story and it didn't Overwhelmingly Positive like Nekopara, but it still got Very Positive.

Hello, Reddit.
>>128037746
It is free and launched when there weren't that many vns available on Steam. And it had porn, which people thought was impossible on Steam.
Okay, Amane's route is boring as fuck. It really confirms that a route becomes shit once the protag gets into a relationship with the heroine.
So far the whole route has been "Hey Yuuji~ I'm such a slut, let's fuck~".
This is exactly like Miyako in Majikoi.

Russian isn't hard. Cyrillic takes a few hours to learn. Declensions make it easier to read.

Buttplug, in.

Yeah, I do. But even so, his language is somehow old-fashioned.
>>128036424
while thats true, the editing is well done so the thing reads well.

oooo just wait till the NVL hits, you will either be really fucking bored or on the edge of your seat for like 10 hours.
>>128036038
I don't know how, shit's been bothering me for a while
>>128038594
Wait till you get to the flashback. Stupidest shit ever.

This is sekai we're talking about so you might end up having to wait longer for the 18+ version.

H scenes only make up less than 10% of the enjoyment.
>>128039481
But them being there is still necessary to be able to feel the other 90% of enjoyment from the rest of the VN.

Almost there guys.

They just announced a mini route for the goth loli too.
>>128038998
I think you need to reinstall the font.
>>128039481
He said he was hyped for the h-scenes, dumbass.
That's why I said they might not end up being included in the first release.
>>128039896
Why don't EOPs kickstart something actually good instead of bottom of the barrel trash like this?
>>128040048
An scenario is not the same as a route, it's probably like Kagetsu Tohya's 10 Nights of Dream
>>128040048
>her not having a route to begin with
This is fucking criminal.

>The mini episode's run-time will be around an hour long.
>The story focuses on Iris's past, before meeting Shuma.
Meh.

Libra is doing better than Root Double. Clearly moege wins out, no matter what the quality of the story game is.
