Is there any way to hide fandiscs from your search results on VNDB? They really get in the way when searching for shorter titles.

People were complaining about the boys not getting a lot of scenes in Yukiiro Sign but honestly I kind of prefer it this way. They aren't really that great of characters and I find the scenes they have together pretty cringe. The girls are a lot more entertaining.

>>34002680
No.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

>>34003596
RIP. He was too good for this world.

>>34003596
is this the zoomer version of ugly bastard?

>>34002707
I mean really most people dont give a shit about the MC.
Heck they are usually so irrelevant that they rarely appear in the game's website and sometimes not even the synopsis mention their names other than protagonist.
So unless the MC appears in the box art and promo material they might as well make room for the heroines as the center stage.

Help me bros I'm looking for a nukige I played a while ago, it had a mother and her teen daughter as the main heroines. I specifically remember the daughter wore blue dungarees. Pretty sure it was released after 2010 too.

>>34002707
Unless it is plotge and the MC is right in the center of the plot I dont think a lot of screentime is required early for him. Talking specifically about Munefuyu we know a lot about him thanks to the shared background with Miku and Hironaka.

>>34003596
>is a god a sex
Ah yes, my favorite cliche.

>>34004909
That's moeshit issue tho. Look at kamige like まいてつ and it's protag Sotetsu. That's how it should be done. Removing mc because he's irrelevant is lame, just make mc relevant instead. I hate that incel pandering in my moege, pizdec.

Which VNs are we looking forward to play in april?

>>34007946
>kamige
>maitetsu
Just stop

Maybe I'm just too used to short MC names like "Yuu" but hearing the girls say Munefuyu and Hironaka all the time in Yukiiro is really annoying me for some reason.

>>34008005
Cyan Blue, I don't care about the autist here crying about separation endings, at the very least the porn should be nice.

Oi

>>34002663
Nice thread title, retard. Wagakeks are just as dumb as EOP majitards.

I haven't read any eroge in the last 4 days. Depression is too strong. What do?

How can someone write so much shit about a moege trial? At least wait until the actual game is out.

>>34008511
This is a true fan.

>>34008220
Reminds me of that copypasta

>>34008511
Not a moege.

>>34008511
Well it's not as if trials are only 10 minutes long or like watching a 3 minute OP. You get a good amount of playtime out of trials.

I wrote a lot about the Clarias trial because it was long and showcased the gameplay, characters, story and production values. In hindsight the trial was perfect... in showing how bad the final product would be.
The Wagahime trial was kind of the opposite: enjoyably deceptive. Everything after the trial's content turned to shit.
Cyanblue had an enjoyable trial and I think the final won't be any different unless the writers drop the ball with the √ endings.

I believe trial reviews can be very useful when it comes to gameplay critique, or when a game is overall so bad that you just have to shit on it and warn potential buyers not to waste their resources.

Finally some good interaction scenes between MC and heroines in Yukiiro. Only took 8-9 hours and still have not seen the opening video goddammit.

>>34009129
How slow do you read? Damn.

>>34009187
People without MTL read fucking slow, because they actually learn japanese.

>>34009187
I listen to all the voice acting too, narration only parts I read them in few seconds. Im not like those autistic EGS fags, skipping the voice acting that was recorded with so much effort.

>>34009224
Based.

>>34009216
>t.clueless EOP

>>34009224
Fuck you. by appreciating all voiceactors you don't appreciate the good ones enough. You should skip all voices besides the seiyuus you like.

>>34009303
Well all the seiyuu in Yukiiro are pretty good.

>>34009303
if you don't appreciate the BAD voice actors you can't appreciate the good ones. yes I'm telling you to eat shit to know what shit tastes like

Reading Wagahime is doing wonders to reset my standards. Some VNs I've read before don't seem so bad anymore

>>34008010
Got anything to say about まいてつ、sweetie>?

>>34009504
How far did you get?

>>34009571
I'm a bit into the second arc. If the writing quality doesn't improve I'm going to drop it. It's a shame since the trial was pretty nice, I don't know what happened to the writer

Clarias is kamige.
Wagahime is kamige.
2021 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for eroge.

>>34009677
Don't forget the kamige Lupercalia as well. Literally no disappointments.

>>34009656
You're probably near where I am. What a letdown.

Any EGS scores for Wagahime?

>>34009754

>>34009788
I suspect it's going to go down a few notches

>>34009677
>>34009685

>>34009788
>Time it takes to get good: 2 hours
Anyone who actually read it will know that it's the exact opposite

>>34009788
>only 80
There must be some mistake, this kamige deserves way higher

>>34009866
Okay, I'll bite, how is it any good?

>>34009656
If it's any consolation, I am enjoying the 2nd route a bit more than the empire route. Part of it might be due to Erin's goon squad being more fun. Not too far into it, just left mermaid country.

I also think that Wagahime doesn't have the production values to pull of a story of this scale. Sure it does have a lot of backgrounds but quite a few of them look pretty bad and a battle with the Windows XP wallpaper in the background isn't that climactic

>>34009879

>>34009950
I forgot to mention excessive reuse of backgrounds for different places

>>34010020
Wrong thread retard.

>>34009685
Lupercalia shafted the imouto character and lost the right to be kamige.

I'm still in the first main story but my biggest gripes so far are:
- bland main characters (protag, Noah)
- characters sprites that look blurry at the "default" zoom, it's like they drew them in the wrong resolution
- tons of boring lore and politics irrelevant to the story

Lo and behold, I'm still having fun so far. But it ain't no "fantasy Majikoi", the cast is just too weak for that.

>>34010065
How long have you been in the capital?

>>34002680
You can request that. It'd be doable, you'd just need to be able to include relations into the search, so you could filter out games with an "original game" relation.

Should honestly not be that hard, and I'm kinda surprised it doesn't exist yet.

>>34009685
But Lupercalia was actually good.

>>34003596
I challenge you. The name is also absolutely great. What a fun character this was.

>>34010389
Unless the writer fixed double standards, highly doubtful.

>this isn't an actual scene.
what were they thinking

>>34010405
What double standards? Elaborate.

Sca-ji will announce sakutoki release date pretty soon now

>>34011117
And? What a useless post. I can speculate too: Yuzusoft will announce a new game pretty soon.
Why not talk about actual news like the newly announced Cartagra HD remaster?

>>34011421
Remasters are useless. Who cares about shit everyone's already played years ago.

>>34011461
Not everyone has played it and some want to replay it in HD with full voice, QoL improvements and possibly improved scenario. Not everyone only gives a shit about FOTM new games.

>>34011421
It's not speculation. It's happening on April 1.

>>34011529
Announcing or releasing stuff for real on April 1st should be made illegal. Worst day of the year after Christmas.

>>34011513
That's okay but I don't like this remake era. It feels like this medium has exhausted its creative juices and all we can do now is play remakes of shit we enjoyed back in the day. This is depressing and sad.

>>34011607
Every medium is plagued by this remake/remaster era. Innogrey have been doing it for a while. Let's hope they're just cashing in on KnS series so they can make something new. Worst case scenario they remaster the Flowers series over the next few years.

Speedreading should not be shunned. Fuck listening all voices to the end. VNDB has some idiots who literally extract the game audio to determine the length of a game because they read at molasses speed and thing that a game that takes a normal person 25h to read should be classified as long.

>>34011920
Sounds like vndb is full of based and smart people.

>>34012005

Based? Based on what? In your dick? Please shut the fuck up and use words properly you fuckin troglodyte, do you think God gave us a freedom of speech just to spew random words that have no meaning that doesn't even correllate to the topic of the conversation? Like please you always complain about why no one talks to you or no one expresses their opinions on you because you're always spewing random shit like p*ggers based cringe and when you try to explain what it is and you just say that it's funny like what? What the fuck is funny about that do you think you'll just become a stand-up comedian that will get a standing ovation just because you said "cum" in the stage?

>>34012338
(((thread)))

>>34012026
>doesn't understand language
>God gave us freedom of speech
lol what a retard. To expand on the topic at hand. All people have different reading speeds so you can't say a game is xx hours long based on you being a speedreader who skips voices and "boring" scenes. vndb doesn't poll every reader about how long it took them, so there's no data for an average. Even if there was, it would not be objectively valid as people not only read at different speeds but also have different reading practices like skipping voice vs listening to them all, skipping boring segments, skipping H-scenes, skipping routes, only reading 1 route, only reading H-scenes, dropping a game and claiming you finished it, going for 100% which in gameplay titles takes a lot longer and is full of randomization, etc.
All that considered, the only way to objectively set a length for eroge is using the total duration of all voice files or the inferior method of playing on default auto-mode, which will always be unreliable and much slower than any reading speed. Only a retard like you doesn't understand that.

>>34012338
The thread wasn't even made by a JOP, what did you expect.

>>34012564

yes I got that, what I am asking is like if each main heroine(the elf, and the demon) also has 3 sub-heroines routes(or more) like pic related

Play NTR VNs and realize that almost all VN protags become Salarymen and the heroine you like will be at the mercy of other men.
There now you have destroyed the idealized version of the moege that hurt you.

>>34013722
If only there was a moege where after story is basically NTRshit.

>>34013722
I don't see anything wrong with that. You can fuck her all the time in HS so she's just a normal slut if she still cheats you despite that. But salarymen have to work hard all day, come home tired and weary. This decreases their sex drive. It's only natural for his wife to cheat on him in this situation out of necessity. Any good husband who cares about his wife will turn a blind eye to her whore shenanigans. Open relationships are the way to future. People should stop putting sex on pedestal. Monopolizing your partner's sexuality isn't good once you're an adult.

>>34014059
That's like 1960s rhetoric. The way of the future is work from home while fucking your wife.

>>34010777
Every work should have it, though I obviously didn't check every, as it's enough to see it in two. An easy example is the ending of Kamimaho, as the protagonist was fine getting something where the game said before that's no good with another character. There are more instances in that game, but it's obviously spoiler, and it's been some years.
The game after Kamimaho already starts with several double standards. Like the protag being a loner, yet proceeds to showcase that he talks to several different girls on a regular basis in private. Or how he claims that he doesn't want to get involved in shit, yet immediately gets willingly involved, the moment something starts.

In the latter case it's easy to fix. Just shut up about the loner thing, and have the other thing be a case of "I have the bad habit of getting involved into shit I really shouldn't, and try to avoid it", which then, once again, would fail. The way it was though, it just felt all retarded, and if there's one thing that kills any drama, then if the setup is dumb.


I can see not everyone caring about double standards everywhere, but it makes shit rather not enjoyable for me, especially with how frequent they are, and how they come during the more important parts. (setup, resolution) In Kamimaho it's especially dumb, as a really questionable twist leads to the double standard to begin with, and that was only there because it was supposed to be cool. I can't imagine why that shit would need to happen for otherwise. Well, spoilers.

tl;dr: It makes the entire experience frustrating to me, because this stuff could be mostly fixed easily. Kamimaho's ending wrote itself, but no, gotta double standard.

>>34014182
I see, still gonna check it out.

shows how retarded you are with your "double standard" issue. "Loner" doesn't mean you can't talk to people / girls. It just means you prefer doing things or being alone. And the protagonist gets involved in shit despite not wanting to? WOW it's almost like there would be no story to tell if he didn't get involved. Fucking Clannad, D.C., YU-NO and other games did the same thing with the MC ages before.

A really weak example for the "double standard" thing. I'd maybe understand if it was something like MC being completely against others taking lives and moral grandstanding all the time, until he himself decides to kill and then rationalizes it with 仕方がない.

>>34014182
>>34016278 is right, unless you meant a shut-in or someone who has コミュ障, loners are perfectly able to talk to people. Especially in private. They just don't do the group thing.

>>34016278
You are getting too hang up on the choice of words and what you think it means. I chose loner, because he monologues about how he is always alone, going to eat alone in a place nobody is at school and whatnot. Just to immediately go and talk to several different girls, which turns out he always does.

See, this isn't the issue. It's just a non spoiler example. The writer does that all the time, even in key scenarios. First something is bad. Then the exact same thing is good. Sure, you might not give a shit about it, but I do.

Alright I'm enjoying the second route significantly more than the first one. I think it's a mixture of the constant traversing across the commonwealth and the overall better side cast. Erin is also a pretty fun heroine and a big step up from Noa, which isn't really hard but still. I do miss the rabbit though...

Reading White Album 2, why is the main character such a beta cuck? I want to drop the VN now, but I've already sunk over 12 hours into it.
I just read the part where he has to search for Setsuna who went to some party with medical students. He finally runs into Setsuna and despite wanting to tell her his feelings, he just holds it in and lets her cry and yell at him. Jesus, I didn't have much respect for this cuck before, but now I'm quite convinced he literally is a cuck. When she was lying about enjoying the party, he just accepted it without giving a shit. The whole medical department could gangbang her and he wouldn't have cared. Someone, give me 1 good reason why I should continue reading this VN with perhaps the most pathetic protagonist I've ever seen.

>>34026115
If you look at EGS a lot of the reviews are like "first route is boring but 2nd is good and then 3rd is amazing", I think it's because the 1st route spends a lot of time building the setting/characters and also the school SoL which doesn't appeal to a lot of people

>>34026391
Dude, he feels guilty and wants setsuna to live without him.

>>34026815
He's a hypocrite. There's a digital novel which shows setsuna's side of the story during the common route and how haruki despite wanting setsuna to forget about him gets angry at someone who confesses to her.

>>34026611
wish it was real

>>34027132
>how haruki despite wanting setsuna to forget about him gets angry at someone who confesses to her
>he's a hypocrite
There's nothing wrong about that. No different than getting jealous when your ex gets a new bf despite you not loving her anymore or having a new gf yourself. Or you like some girl and she rejects you so you give up but then you still don't want to see her with another guy. Or your best friend goes after the girl you liked and you want to break his 3 legs. Have you never been in love or what?

>>34027449
>o different than getting jealous
It wasn't just him getting jealous. He acted on his jealousy in a spectacular way that undermined what he was trying to do. His half-baked resolve is the reason people around him suffer. He lacks conviction. He can't decide on something and follow through with it. He can't even talk things over with setsuna to come to a proper resolution and just plays stupid mind games with her.

>>34026391

or any other idiotic way of not taking 5 minutes to talk things out and then avoiding each other thinking dumb shit before the tearful reunion XX hours later. This crap always bugged me about high school romance in Japanese media. Think about it. Characters clearly love each other but because of not talking, being honest or dumb misunderstandings they often spend 3+ years not getting together and maybe even dating other people they clearly don't love. All could be solved with a short talk. They waste years of possible love and fun for dramatic purpose. And we're talking about school years which are when you have the most time. Idiots waste them and then start their romance entering adulthood and work life or studying at different colleges. The honeymoon phase will suck and their hard-fought love will only turn to shit over time. Crappy dramas like that never end in happiness.

I haven't finished Dead Aegis yet (actually put it on hold while I finish something else), but it actually seems pretty decently put together so far despite the ludicrous premise and stuff like that being played 100% straight. Maybe it drops the ball later, but the EGS reviews are pretty positive.

I think it's funny how Rask continues to produce R18 merchandise while removing any R18 content from their games.

imo gameplay VNs count as two mid-size ADV because they are usually like 50h long

>>34032793
Eh, that one is on the shorter side. It was fun, but I didn't think the gameplay was very hard for the most part.

Women defending the male gaze in Eroge? What is this

>>34027695
>This crap always bugged me about high school romance in Japanese media. Think about it. Characters clearly love each other but because of not talking, being honest or dumb misunderstandings they often spend 3+ years not getting together and maybe even dating other people they clearly don't love. All could be solved with a short talk.
that's just how high school is like baka

>>34033068
can confirm, this is just what hs is like.
source: happened to 私, twice

What the fuck. Now I finally get a sense of scale of big these C.C must be. This is some kind of boss monster that looks like a mushroom.

>>34033068
No it's not. Your balls drop and you man up to confess. Girl says yes you go out. Girl says no you move on to a better girl. If you have problems you talk about them. You knock her up, you take responsibility after taking a paternity test. If you think she's cheating you bang her ass until she confesses then you move on to a better girl.

What am I in for? Cuck perspective always fuck with me.

>>34034735
Nevermind, I'll put up with it for this.

Does the cartel still exist and is it overlapping with this thread?

>>34034960
the amount of people that can read japanese and are interested in untranslated porn games aren't that big, what do you think?

but if you unironically care about the cartel you really need to get bullied and shoved in a locker

>>34035457
That's what the cartel would say.

>>34034960
The cartel is dead because the games they care about don't come out anymore, it's all about moenukige nowdays.

What are your top 5 favorite VNs?
let's see who is from the cartel here

>>34037069
Yeah. They used to post here a lot just 2 years ago. All of them suddenly disappeared???
I guess most of the moogy era pretentious jops stopped playing VNs

>>34034960
Doesn't exist anymore and most of those people either stopped playing eroge or are way more focused in JRPG's.

>>34037216
They watch vtubers and read yuri LNs

>>34037125

>>34037234
Who doesn't?

>>34037234
wtb yuri LNs that aren't shit

So I resumed reading Wagahime after taking a break, and I got past the Mermaid region in Erin's route. So far it's better than Noa's, but there's still lots of flaws I take issue with. Random side characters will just show up, get short character development arcs that are finished in a few sentences, and disappear. Speaking of disappearing, Ebi has completely vanished from the narrative - apart from then the writer wants to jam in more food autism and "UMAAAAAAI". The "muh discrimination bad" subplot(?) is still being continued, and is still just as cringe. Characters never just sit down and talk without it being about some dumb quirk of theirs, food, clichés that fit their archetypes, etc. Well, some of the bodyguards do open up a bit about themselves, like Shuka, but then say dumb shit like "Call me Mom" for no reason other than to appeal to a specific fetish. And Yorkshire just sucks the MC's dick for some reason and it's never brought up again (at least so far). Erin is a better heroine than Noa, though she's just as hollow as a character. MC is a total wimp who refuses to touch her goods when she willingly (for some reason?) offers to let him. And what the fuck was the point of that Oni that attacked them twice?

What do you guys think about it so far? Does it get better?

>>34037548
Oh yeah, forgot to mention: Sometimes, characters (mostly Erin), will get a scene that seems like it's going somewhere deeper than surface-level chitchat, but then it's abruptly cut short because we need to hurry hurry hurry. It just feels so damn rushed.

Dessert soft poll. Yeah I told them

>>34037629
Pregancyfags have it rough

Speaking of Dessert Soft, has anyone read 神様のしっぽ? Is it any good? Apparently the team is completely different from the Tomefure one except for the director.

>>34038857
It's not good. Too many heroines. It's a clusterfuck.

Man I just finished 日向千尋は仕事が続かない. This shit fucking hurts. Haven't felt this pain since Riho in ReCation. Aoi Tokio really makes for the perfect OL gf. How do writers stomach writing such saccharine love stories? I would kill myself if I had to write these for a living.

>>34026934
I sure hope that's the case because there was a lot more buildup in this route with stuff like Crone's mom, endgame's scheme with that mysterious figure and something being sealed.
Overall Erin's route was a lot more enjoyable and I did have some fun
Hopefully Crone's route is good enough to justify the time spent building the lore and setting. Also mysteries revolving the 大禍時, Min's lore which seems to coincide to when it started and the previous era of the seven kingdoms, and ウォルナ.. If that stuff doesn't get covered with all that build up and repetition throughout the first route, I'll be fuming.

>>34038795
Not really.
Yeah I know they are shovelware but Miel releases a pregnancy game a month which should be enough for most thirsty preggo fag.

>>34040806
Why do you people post like this about new games like you do you really have to put plot points in the image title

>>34040841
The heroine gets pregnant at the end of a moege is a plot point?

Nationalism powers times 3, nice.

>>34040933
It obviously is?

>tenmazoku's route begins with the same opening as the empire's route
>none of it shows up as read text despite me knowing it's the exact same

Fucking lame

>>34041255
That is the one scenario where it is acceptable to speedread.

>>34041255
>don't*
>>34041276
Well I just got back to the part where Santiago tries to rob the party again and this time it had an option to beat the shit out of him instead of just "Pay up or Don't Pay up". So yeah, I'll just speedread instead of straight skipping. Still annoying.

not skipping was the right call, there's an event which wasn't part of the empire's route

>>34041392
You'd think they would program these things better so the skip works until you actually get to the new scene (or shortly before it at least).

Tried to get into mugen kairou since I'm a femdomfag and the plot seemed interesting but I can't stand how it is structured.
The only way to actually progress its repeating the same scenes multiple times with slight variations, it just feels like padding.
Also I'm not even sure the plot itself is going anywhere

I'm kinda new to this so forgive the retarded question, but what exactly is the point of soft-denchi DRM giving eroge a 100 year expiration date?

>>34040841
> moege
> plot point
off yourself incel

>>34041402
Yeah it's pretty lame, thankfully it seems to branch relatively early
For anyone wondering, it's just after a new choice selection where you get to spend time with one of the party in a bar

>>34034871
Where's this from? Is this from https://vndb.org/v27829 ??

No CGs for this specific scene?

>>34042605
Not too far since I'm a slow reader, but it was just part of a flashback from the MC, no scene.

>>34043034
that's sad af.

fuckin love that design -_-

Hearing good English in a VN is so uncanny.

Game is great by the way. Going for Kasuri's route first because of her banter.

>>34043148
Kasuri is such a great girl. It's a shame her route sucks.

>>34040806
If I hadn't finished it already, I would have hated you, retarded spoilerfag.

Overall Asami Asami's art has improved a lot. Shame that the last two games are cosplay focused.

>>34032643
Nowadays it's pretty much 0. Barely read anything in general. Today I'm gonna play some Utawarerumono Prelude though. Or I try to. The writing and characters make it hard to enjoy, as its age really shows. Not like I didn't expect that.

Dunno if this is a good place to ask but does anyone know where to pirate fata morgana remastered? Someone did make an english patch, but it's still not on nyaa

>I don't play new games

>>34043854
>bad
That's what you wrote. I don't feel like writing about all the circumstances of the industry around Utawa's release. It's simply a product of its time. Do you call all pc-98 games bad, because if they'd be released today they'd be largely considered bad and aren't that enjoyable?

There's a reason why Utawa became popular back then. It's not the writing. It's not the voice acting (it had non anyway). It's rather the scale of what it tried to do. And just like it can be interesting to play a nes game or whatever today, it can be just as interesting to play Utawa.

Just play good old shit from 00s that still hold up today.

>>34044010
If it held up it wouldn't be getting remastered.

>>34044028
Most of the time only art or voices gets remastered so the writing holds up?

>>34002707
>The girls are a lot more entertaining.
i find them boring asf. then again i hate anime where its just chicks doing mundane shit to start with. I need an involved mc not this guy thats barely present even in routes.

ダメ！

>>34044084
That's what they always say but in the end they're enjoying it as well.

>>34043985
I'm not calling old games bad at all, you said it's aged. Coupled with you saying you don't read much these days it just sounds like you hate new and old games. I for one love PC-98 games and don't look at them from a modern perspective. That's why your "aged" comment triggered me, I hate how everyone is unable to enjoy old stuff for what it is. Always the "it's aged"," this game with PS4 graphics looks like a PS2 game", "waa waa this 480p VN looks like shit on my 4k monitor I can't read shit, gimme remake gimme upscale algorithms", "haha look at those ugly uguu characters", "waaa why are old heroines not virgins and why is there so little porn, fuck old games" etc etc etc.

To say that Uta didn't become popular for its writing is disingenuous. People loved the characters, setting and yes the story it told as well. Gameplay is another reason, which I always considered overrated just like Kamidori or Baldr Sky. They're "fine" but nothing outstanding.
>I don't feel like writing about all the circumstances of the industry around Utawa's release
I'm not aware of any drama regarding the original, but the sequels+remake and failed attempt at gacha, anime shit and making the series all-ages have nothing to do with the first game. And despite their flaws people still highly regard Uta2+3. I don't think there's any point in playing the 1 remake because it's pretty much the same game with removed porn. Just a graphical "upgrade" with few gameplay changes.

>>34044123
True, they love it.

Very cute autist. Teacher is good too. Scenes with stepsister are very warm. This game looks promising.

>>34049542
Yeah the romance in general has been really underwhelming.

>>34049562
Have you started Crone's route yet? If so, how is it so far? I really want the last route to be worth all the monotony of the other two routes.

>>34049717
I'm not very far in. I haven't even met Crone yet so I can't really say anything

>>34049779
How far is that? A few hours?

Probably less than an hour

Autist has such a cute design but I don't like her voice.

What do you dislike about it?

>>34051795
It just doesn't fit my image of her I guess. Yume to me looked like a dandere but this voice is too baka genki which fits better on Yume. And Gotou Mai could've been great as Yume. I'll just have to get used to this.

Why is there no Kusarihime translation?

>>34052148
>Gotou Mai
should never be allowed to retire. she gets me hard as diamonds everytime i hear her. even non-sexual dialogue.

>>34053207
Same. It did suck though when I accidentally read 4 games with her in a row and 2 of them simultaneously with 1 being the perfect imouto and in the other she went through dark stuff. That clashed so hard I needed a break from her voice...

>>34053191
We wait for a Spanish translation.

>>34053191
You are in the wrong thread retard. No translations here.

Just finished case 0 in hakuchuumu.
What the fuck is that final stretch of the case? the Alzheimer's heroine, everyone is suddenly becoming paralyzed and dream matrix land.
Think I liked the more grounded cases more, the love story was still pretty cute though.

Any VNs with a good "revenge" romance story? Like a MC that is super bullied for being weak or fat but then becomes ultra fit chad? just by willpower/workout, no super power/hypnosis bullshit. All VNs are like, if he is fat then he has some hypnosis power shit, or blackmails the heroine with something. I want something that takes effort

u don't know whether the cat is dead or alive until observation so you'd have to say it's dead and alive at the same time (superposition) which is absurd and the same principle applies to quantum states the end

You ever look at a VN and think there are vestiges of an earlier draft you can see poking through?

http://www.lumpofsugar.co.jp/product/madoki/character/character04.html
That third voice sample is pretty hot, and the h-scene in the trial was also nice, are Lump of Sugar games worth it for the porn? I thought they were Yuzusoft tier vanilla.

>>34058413
Another VN for next winter

What are those VNs called which aren't plotshit or moege but they have character focused stories with reasonably grounded characterization?

>>34058973
charage

>>34058999
I am really not sure what the fuck charage even means. You fucks say kinkoi is a charage here >>34044573 when it seems like a moege with nakige shit. You can't really compare writing in kinkoi to something like koinaku.

>>34059020
>fuck charage even means
games with character focused stories. Kinkoi and koinaku still both fit in that broad category.

>>34059068
All Moege are also character focused. I am asking for a narrow category with character focused stories that have grounded characterization like musicus or koinaku or WA2 etc. Shit like kinkoi has moege fluff through and through in terms of heroine writing and events.

>>34058413
>suegara rie
instant diamonds

>>34059020
Moege: 80% moe moe and sex, 20% tacked on character story
Charage: 20% moe moe, 80% character story

Very roughly that is. The basic difference is that a moege focuses on.. you know, moe, while a charage focuses on character stories. A prime example for the latter is Daito, that spends most of its route time on the character story, while the "moe" and dating and sex is tacked on the end of routes and fairly short. Another example would be Hitotsuba, where you get the romance rushed, and then the character story and race stuff for the large majority of the route. (well, the one route I've read, but most games keep their style)

Moege are basically modern charage. Industry realized that actually writing stories is risky and effort, and reduced it over time, so classic charage are actually fairly rare. Kinkoi gets close enough though. A good ten years ago it was still the other way around, where games more commonly focused on character stories, rather than moe. Charage are also known to generally give less of a fuck when it comes to moe tropes. Like having bittersweet endings and the likes is much more common than in a moege. Makes obviously sense, due to the generally bigger focus on the character stories. Think of something like Satsukoi. (I miss Alcot Honeycomb btw)

hags rule this thread. don't let fags and cunnyposters tell you otherwise.

>>34059895
>that spends most of its route time on the character story
The routes are extremely short and they have short drama arcs like most moege. After that it's just two ichacha and two sex scenes.

>>34059993
Also the heroines in daito are pretty moege tier too

>>34059993
Kinkoi? Outside of the last route, that is relatively short (and next to 100% charage esque) I wouldn't say the routes are short.
It's definitely more of a mix of charage and moege, as far as I'm concerned. Depends on the route though. The (sometimes) twintail girl is fairly moege with a bit of MC story, as far as I remember. But I think some of the other stuff was going a bit more into charage, like the princess stuff. Admittedly, I only skimmed that, so I could be very wrong.

The fandisc definitely makes it seem like more of a moege, but I personally ignore the existence of that piece of shit.

>>34060029
I was talking about daito.
Like I said here >>34059099 I was talking about stuff with grounded characterization instead of full-on moeblob heroines.

I really like Tanezaki Atsumi too, but that's split between her eroge and anime roles.

Kinkoi is somewhere between moege and charage and kinkoi is good. As long as you imply these things are different and totally not made up by schizo jops trying to prove they're better than just moebuta.

>>34060672
>nobody gives a fuck about the moege charage distinction unless they need to win an argument, see above
Pretty much this, but "charage" is still a good word whenever you mean something like "slightly better than average moege".

>>34059936
usually girls that have some strong characteristic in their voice and not many roles
kawashima, misonoo and isshiki are nice but they have so many roles that i get sick of them

If it has a true route, it's not a moege.
