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.

You might enjoy Yume Miru Kusuri. If you just want to broaden your scope, you could try something like Tsukihime or Saya no Uta.

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.

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

They 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.

Yeah, 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.

yeah 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?

Slay 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.

I 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.

I'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

Yes 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.

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.

It 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

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.

Oh, not counting the mystery VN's that everyone's played, like Danganronpa and Ace Attorney; those are much different games.
