Have you been reading any?
>>713715638 (OP)i'm still very entry level at this. slay the princess is the first thing that was able to invoke an emotion in like 10 years. rushed yearning for more and friend told me "go play katawa, lol". i liked it to. do (you) got anything you like that you can share? i'm open to any degenerate shit at this point.
What are the must read yuzusoft VNs?
>>713716652You might enjoy Yume Miru Kusuri. If you just want to broaden your scope, you could try something like Tsukihime or Saya no Uta.
i wish i have the patience to play visual novels
i always wanted to play bible black, fate, sexfriend, and some other i forgot
>>713718332i will go and do so right now, tx
>>713715638 (OP)I just completely finished off Fate/stay night about an hour ago actually. All three routes, every scene, all 40 bad ends. What an excellent time that was. I can see why people went totally nuts over it back in the 00s and onward. Saber is so fucking cute too.

>>713715638 (OP)-Finishing off Muv-Luv with the side material
-Chaos; Head Noad
-Have Majikoi, WotHN, Tokyo Necro, Muramasa and more on the backburner
There's so many to get through...
>>713715638 (OP)I finished most of them, so I need to buy some more.
>>713720048If you liked it, you gotta read Hollow Ataraxia as well. It's the fandisk to end all fandisks.
>>713715638 (OP)I would be if the tranny in charge of approving games to be released on Steam would let me fucking buy Nekopara After already. I can't buy from Denpasoft, and the only pirated copy I've seen is locked to Russian which I can't read.
Started ToHeart, really loving it so far. Never played the original, though.
>>713724530Get it on DLsite, it's in english and you can get a 30% discount if you don't have an account yet and make one to buy it.
>>713724737Already tried to buy from there too but no dice thanks to my payment method.
>>713715638 (OP)Visual Novels arent videogames
ToHeart seems relatively cheap. I fucking love Utawarerumono so I wonder if it's worth buying.
>>713715638 (OP)Sanoba Witch
I wish life were a visual novel.
>>713724872I'm sure that's why we have like four Turkeyhandle banners on this board.
>>713724530just give up and torrent it
>>713724883There's a demo of the first 2 hours or so, you can try that. No save transfer but you can just fast forward and get to where you were in a few minutes.
>>713720048It's honestly such a good time
so many moege fail because they're too feelgood. they only have women be part of the main cast and it leaves the dynamics to be all retarded. and they don't even include women who vehemently dislike you, they just include amicable, friendly women, who wouldn't dare be against the player. you need other characters to balance the dynamics, like having a bro (who isn't a trap character or otherwise too dissimilar to a normal guy) and a reoccurring character who fucking hates you (not necessarily an antagonist.)
I have solved the problem as to why so many moege are shit, and now I need more with dynamics as I have described, otherwise they're not palatable
>>713725148Already said that the only pirated copy I could find was locked to Russian, and I can't read that.
>>713715638 (OP)it feels quite a bit like Harem Mura which I liked, I'll stay tuned for sure
>>713725208eh i'd rather just buy it i mean fuck man you'd think with these shit it would straight up be $49.99 lol wasn't expecting $20.
>>713725241They need the solitary bro character. Bonus if he's the type who usually is the butt of jokes but WILL physically knock sense into the MC when he's being retarded. We all need bros like that.
>>713725397Yeah, it's super cheap. They're probably hoping more people will give it a shot at that price and they'll end up making more in the long run. Hope it works out for them.
>>713725281https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/4324476
it's also on ryuugames
>>713725479yeah man this is the main reason I couldn't bear tenshi souzou
it was all way too boring without the bro character. and the rest of the girls are all just too agreeable. I can say the same for 9nine, whose bro was a total personalityless twink.
Did Mahoyo benefit from getting voiced or was it better when you could make up the voices for the characters in your mind?
>>713725241Agreed, male friend group are an important balance and girls become cuter when they show a bit of resistance and spunk. Appeals to the primal rapist sensibilities
>>713726170>was it better when you could make up the voices for the characters in your mindIt always is, I turn off voices in all my VNs
Have any of you ever thought about making your own visual novel?
>>713716652Slay the princess isn't very good so anything you play will be a huge improvement. Katawa shoujo is pretty overrated and most VNs that are english original are just mediocre. Just play translated japanese shit because their bigger market yields better quality stuff you can pickj out of the sea of shit. I second tsukihime but play the original not the remake.
Are Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 worth playing? I've already watched the anime.
>>713726170I think it improves on the experience. Usually I like to read VNs without voice acting but for some reason Mahoyo worked better with voice acting.
>>713726272It's not even the turn on factor
I just like the sense of rivalry. It's exhilarating
>>713726610I'm not japanese so no. English VNs have yet to produce anything good since they just try to ape japanese stuff while not being japanese. It's a shame because translation always takes something away but the english VN market is just too niche to attract decent quality writing
I've been reading Umineko. I like Erika a lot.
>>713726906She's the best character by far.
>>713726906Umineko is a fun time. Just prepare yourself for the divisive ending. I didn't like it personally but Umineko is still great for it's peaks.
>>713726751S;G yes. S;G0, maybe since it's significantly worse despite having some strong moments.
>>713726751I found them really fun to read anyway. The other science adventure games are good reads as well and their anime didn't do them justice like Stein;Gate's did.
>>713726865Western artists suck, too. Or at least I have never seen a western VN with art that was actually cool or could conceivably get anyone sane hard.
>>713724469ha is better than stay night
>>713726751oh and if you like the other science adventure games that SG is from check out the infinity series (Ever 7, Never 17, Remember 11) which inspired them
>>713727557I think it's just a result of how small of a market english VNs have. The great western artists aren't going to waste their talent on something no one will see.
>>713724469Was it really considered a fan disc? I thought it was just a full on sequel. It's almost as long as the original
>>713727804Yes it was, it's explicitly referred to as a fan disk in the shrine where you can unlock concept art and listen to miko Rin, miko Saber and confucian sage Archer give totally not fourth wall breaking exposition about why they did this or that one way or another.

>>713715638 (OP)Currently reading Chaos;Child and got done with Kazuki's route yesterday.
So far it's probably my second favorite Science Adventure VN after S;G. I do think it's a shame that they turned down the fanservice so much after C;H.
>>713728073It's been a while since I read it. I remember liking it even more than the original. https://youtu.be/ne89qCOYIRg
>>713728530Hell yeah friend.
Also this guy is literally me.
I just finished reading Majikoi, I didn't expect Chrto end up being my absolute favorite
>>713727804It has an actual plot but the plot isn't a continuation of any of the routes from FSN, and the majority of the game is just fanservice (in the sense that they're mostly lighthearted character interactions with some character development and insights you didn't get in the original game as well) with chars from FSN
>>713728834(me)
Chris*
wow I just had a brainfart
>>713729109I could not stop reading subahibi thinking what the fuck. It's insanity is addicting.
>>713729109>>713729206The scene in Zakuro's classroom and the aftermath of his encounter with Ayana are probably the comedic highlights of the VN.
steins;gate 0.
it's quite bad. way worse than the first one
>>713715638 (OP)ToHeart of course! It's really good so far and Shiho is really cute.

>>713729723>text mentions balls>CG doesn't have ballsWhat was that about, anyway?
>>713715638 (OP)I've read like exactly two.
Was intermittently reading Katawa Shoujo whenever I got sad, it always warms the heart. Should finish the last two routes I have yet to do.
Finished Class of 09 and just started Re-up. Insightful, both because of and in spite of the unreliable narrator.
>>713730894Oh, not counting the mystery VN's that everyone's played, like Danganronpa and Ace Attorney; those are much different games.
