This general is for the discussion of English translated Japanese visual novels.
If you see a blatant shitposter, report and ignore.
Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.
First for >/vng/
Can any JOPs enlighten me as to how good Gahkthun's translation is?
Sex scene for Yukari in KnS3.
>>128459694
Better than the original to be honest.
Report vandalized OPs and wait for proper new threads.
>>128459767
How depressing is KnS2?
>>128459779
Report autism and keep posting.
>>128459779
How is it vandalized though? It's literally the same OP as the last thread except for a single "G"
>>128459904
It's the intention
How is Subahibi going to be distributed? KeroQ isn't partnering with anyone.
>>128460151
What?
>>128460160
Amazon, get with the times gramps.
>>128460330
I actually didn't think of that, so physical release only? I do hope they put some kind of cheaper digital version too.
Subahibi is going to fail and scare Japanese eroge makers even more, then english distributors will go bankrupt too and translators are going to be butthurt about it and stop translating for free.
There will be no one to succeed the current translators.
>huur just pirate the game guys, they don't deserve the money
>>128460886
That'll teach em' a lesson to stay away from shady liars such as Moogy.
>>128461079
TLwiki was responsible for the release of a shit tons of translations and was the place translators were made and gathered, same with hackers.
Why the hate for Moogy?
>>128460886
Nekopara is gonna sell incredibly well and encourage Japanese eroge makers even more, then english distributors will be rich and translators are going to be very happy about it and will only translate moege.
There will be many to succeed the current moege translators
>huur moege is shit, read more kamige they are better
Moege shall reign
/vng/ threads are better because there no retards that go "fuck off jops". they seem to avoid the thread.
and I still haven't seen a single reasonable explanation why does a single letter matter so much.
>>128461653
Fuck off JOP.
I realized the steam version of Meikyuu won't have the special section with porn, are they going to replace the contenct with something? i think it's better to wait for the 18+ version.
>>128461902
This is why no one likes sekai, see Moenovel only fucked up once with Kono Oozora, but Sekai does it all the time.
>>128461902
Why would they add something? They always remove h scenes and add nothing, why would you think it'll be different this time?
since this is "Arguably" the better thread, i'll ask here
So i started muv-luv to get to therobots and killing and shitis there anyway to skip to that or am i stuck with this moege crap?
>>128462143
Comyu
>>128462143
You'll get the same response here as you did on the other thread. The moege is the good shit.
>>128462143
You started Extra? No, you're fucked, you will have to do Sumika's and Meiya's route before unlocking Unlimited.
You can just finish both their routes and start Unlimited though, the other heroines aren't really relevant.
>>128462347
Thanks for actually giving me a real answer. I assume it's safe to just skip-n-guide my way through? I've already read the manga up to a bit into alternate so i know a good bit of the story.
>>128462143
You can read Sumika's route and skip Meiya's until the final scene, their routes have a lot of shared scenes and don't really matter for what's coming.
>>128462143
>>128462347
Note that Sumika and Meiya's routes are 99% the same, just with different endings.
>>128462551
Pretty much, yeah. The cutsey shit doesn't really tie in to the story.
>>128462627
>Implying
I wish the 'It's okay to skip extra' fags would just die.
>>128462780
Only Sumika and Meiya and to a lesser degree Kei matter, you can really skip most of Extra, it isn't even that good.
>>128459774
Really? How so?
>>128462957
Gahkthun is set in Europe, and the people "talk" like Europeans. The classic medieval sound of the English language just flows and fits much better than Japanese for such setting.
Also the translator is really good.
>>128462957
Sakurai is a hack and the only reason Gahkthun is good is because koestl improved every aspect of the writing.
>>128462551
It's not like the other routes are completely without little bonuses for when you read Extra. Like you're not going to know that you should hate Sagiri just by seeing his stupid dumb face unless you've read Ayamine's route.
>>128462957
It isn't better, it's translated "well"
Gahkthun is written in a Japanese poetic style that of you translate literally, it loses its charm, so Koestl went with is own English poetic style and did a pretty good job, I was actually impressed.

My dick in your moms pussy isn't right either, doesn't mean I'm gonna stop fucking her.
Should I play sea cats, or otome?
>>128464236
>Sakura picture
You aren't worthy of Gahkthun, go play that R07 kusoge.
>>128464236
Gahkthun? You could play that before Umineko, it's way shorter.
>>128464236
Neither. Reread FSN

Just finished my first route in noble works. Maya was a cutie, the drama was pretty ok,did not feel too melodramatic and she was a cutie the whole route. The last two CGs were HNNG-tier.
Now I've got to decide whether I should play Ojou-sama or maid route.
>>128465460
Objectively best girl with best route.
>>128467119
>>128467256
>>128467406
Stop.
That part is covered by the partial patch.
>>128467478
No one reads partials.

But then you read Meikyuu and Rakuen and you realize that she was a doofus all along and maybe just exaggerating her stupidity slightly.
What did he mean by this?
http://strawpoll.me/6529430
Does nobody read partials at all?
>>128467462
Akari route is better than Sena route and Akari is cuter than Sena, but less l-lewd.

Rip.
Another victim of Moogy's.
>>128468148
If it makes you feel any better, they also retconned her backstory so now it makes no sense at all.
>>128467763
Reading partials is like being able to fuck a girl but then half-way through she tells you to stop and that you can continue later in a year or so

You choose your waifu and have a great time getting at her in the common route only to find out her route hasn't been translated.

Hi Quof replies incoming
you chose this fate for yourself.
Is there any book/novel that's similar to Nasus Fate series or did he come up with all of its uniqueness by himself?
Trace, on.
http://strawpoll.me/6529631
Is divi-dead kamige?
>>128469286
There are a lot of similarly bad books out there
>>128468641
>http://strawpoll.me/6529542
>>128469473
Is there a recommended reading order for the routed in Koichoco after Chisato?
>>128469682
What? Regular guy meets superhero and becomes one himself is an old as fuck cliche.
>>128469473
Divi-dead? More like Divi-shit.
>>128469772
It's recommended to not read it at all. Seriously.
>>128469826
Fuck off nasu-tard
>>128469772
It just plain sucks.
Better to just not bother.
I am the bone of my sword
>>128469772
Michiru's for last. Rest however you like
>>128469286
Chuuni series before Fate, Demonbane too since that came out earlier as well.
>>128469832
>>128469945
im still in the common route but it doesn't seem that bad.
So judging from that poll, it looks like people won't be reading that Dracu Riot game since the Miyu route is untranslated. How sad.
>>128469772
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate? More like Koi to Senkyo to Kuso
>>128470138
I'm waiting for the new dracu-riot patch. but seeing at that point the translation would be at 90% it's a bit more than partially translated.
>>128470138
>reading partials
>>128470043
How is Demonbane similar at all, except being chuuni? That's like saying a drama is the same as another drama because they're of the same genre.
What I meant was the entire concept, servants, heroic spirits summoned to the present etc.
>>128470138
>confirmed machine TL
You can just read her route and make up your own story like the rest of the routes.
>>128470310
>it's a bit more than partially translated.
It's not complete so it's a partial. What else would it be?
>>128470138
Then someone should step in and finish it.
>>128470353
It's kind of a rip-off of pokemon desu, just switch out gay historic people for epic monsters
>>128470410
nearly complete....
>>128470480
>>128470437
I thought about it but they asked for help in 2013 and so the moment has really passed.
Plus it has 700 votes on vndb already so people probably dont care anymore
>>128470568
>nearly complete
But not complete, ergo, say it with me... partial.
>>128470353
>what are stands
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
What's the lewdest VN in existence?
>>128470704
>so people probably dont care anymore
People will always care.
>>128470864
That's not what the guy who translated Ayakashibito thought
>>128470751
Any nukige
>>128470751
Clannad
>>128470704
would you say everything done except the opening title partially translated?
I have created over a thousand blades
>>128470992
That's not the case here, stop moving your goalposts
>>128470992
There's a whole route completely untranslated. Partial.
Is there a route untranslated? Partial.
Getting into semantics is not really productive, in short as long as a route is untranslated it's partial, that's all that matters.
>>128470948
Ayakashibito got 560 votes total which is less than Dracu Riot

>>128471463
Guess I'll see how it ends up. After Chisato I plan on doing Isara's since her getting picked on and the MC stepping in to save her and protect her smile just sounds too good to pass.
>>128471731
Already did mane. It should pretty much be a requirement for anyone in these threads.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUs8FEsDUZ4
What does fate/stay night even mean anyway?
>>128471892
Just Tane and the maid's routes.
The rest are trash
>>128471904
essentially it means garbage fan base
>>128471904

> -Witch Wishes to Commit the Night-
>>128471904
>>128471892
Well, you'll get that I guess, so I hope that's enough to satisfy you because her route contains absolutely nothing else of substance, not even character development.
>>128471892
>It should pretty much be a requirement for anyone in these threads.
you're pretty alright anon.
>>128472219
Incest is wrong. Say no to imoutos!

>>128473520
Why would I be mad for a post on the internet?
I'm just mildly annoyed, that's all.
>>128473709
Not in the common route.
Actually, none of the heroines were worth a damn in the common route. It's not until you enter their routes that they start being actual human beings.
The guy who wrote the common route should kill himself.
>>128473872
>>128473872
I thought Tsumugu was good from start to finish. Tane seemed full retard until you get into her route where she goes full diabeetus.
