You may fancy saya no uta and planetarian, both are pretty short and you'll probably like them.
Sengoku Rance/Big Bang Age if you like gameplay
Ever17/Remember11 are longer, but you'll probably like them if you like twists and mindfucks
Fate stay night/tsukihime are pretty standard too

>depressing
>yume miru kusuri
You have a long way to go.
This is how I got into VNs (sadly)
1. katawa shoujo demo
2. Yume miru kusrui - Really is a good VN to get you into it.
3. Fate/stay night - Long, interesting, fun
4. Tsukihime - Same as above
5. Kana Imouto (BAWWWW)
6. Fuck this I want a happy VN, oh Kira Kira looks upbeat and fun, lets try that! Oh Kirari is awesome, lets do her route!....FUCK
6. Cross Channel - Great game, really hit or miss though.
7. Sharin no kuni - Meh
8. Ever17 - Fantastic
9. Symphonic rain - Amazing, Might be my favorite, especially if you love easy to listen to music.
10 - Brass restoration - Why.jpg
(at this point I don't really remember the order, so I'll just list stuff
Some small things I can't remember at the moment, such as planetarium(which was nice). Miku VN which was recently translated, ok If you like Miku I guess.

MuvLuv - Balls that was long, I quit it after Extra, but I m glad I picked it back up for unlimited. Waiting for Muv-Luv Alternative patch (whats the status on it anyway? I don't think it is out yet right?)

Swan Song - I liked it, although I felt it was kind of retarded(pun intended)

Little busters - Played it in Japanese, making sure I understand everything. Loved it.

Kanon - KEYYYYYYYYYYYYY

probably forgetting something, I can't check since I am not at my main computer.

When something that isn't a troll-thread shows up, you shouldn't shit it up too.

I wouldn't really call YMK depressing, but it did get me emotionally invested, so to speak.
I felt rage, and i felt happiness.

If you want something depressing, try out Planetarian or Narcissu. The latter wrecked me for a week.

I haven't really "cried" in many, many years now, but I felt devastated reading Narcissu.
The reason that I found Narcissu more depressing than Planetarian was probably because I can relate somehow, since I'm also sick, although not dying.
Planetarian was really beautiful, though, and never had I wished I could cry as much as I did by the end of Planetarian.

Why is it so hard to believe things can be judged by an objective standard of quality? Why is new media different from film and books?

If I ask whether or not something was good, I'm actually asking two things: Whether people enjoyed it and whether it was written well.

Is it so hard to answer a question like that? Googling would just get me more of those opinions you seem to hate.

Ironic that the most pretentious thing there are the people saying X is too pretentious for their taste. A bad story that takes itself too seriously is VERRRRY different from an excellent story that takes itself seriously.

People wouldn't get this buttranged if this stuff hadn't been discussed to death on here for the last few years.

Thing is, this thread would be more well received on /v/ because /jp/ sort of comes across as a small, tight-knit community whereas /v/ seems to have a huge and constantly changing userbase where people are probably trying this VN out for their first time too. Hell, people there will be glad to see something besides Minecraft/NewVegas/hats/notvidya.

>> No.6397188

YMK is quite alright, friend.

Mizuki's route is personally my favorite. Although there were too many sex scenes, I found the plot of her route to be the most mature and serious one which kind of appeals to me and I suppose the existentialism issue she's having is something I can somewhat relate to.

If you enjoyed YMK, I suggest you read Crescendo and Symphonic Rain next. Both of them are much more serious though. If you want something more lighthearted, I suggest Canvas2.
If you don't mind something different, there's Ever17 which is a definite must read for anyone into VNs.

My god I laughed so much. No retard you are thinking to much about it, it was just terrible writing, she isn't
"deep" and "complex" her story could be summed up with "Bored popular girl is bored and does stupid things to not be bored"

People with social anxiety doing drugs to fit in ins a much more realistic scenario, except no matter how many drugs you take I can't see anyone going from a super shy unable to make conversation nerd to "Good man! Now put your semen into my anus!"
Can't say anything about aeka because I haven't been to japanese schools. Although being poor and having the hatred of the most popular cliq(or however it is spelled) must suck.
