Orcka Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I just got back into VNs, and I was wondering what are good starters to get back on the saddle. The only VNs that I can remember fro m about 3 years ago are Steins;Gate, Fate/Zero, When They Cry, and Clannad. So I'm basically new to the VN scene.

Deep Blue Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 what type of visual novels are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome and i hope you will have a good time here. As for some recommendations: here are some recommendations from me then. Fate/stay night is a must play. It is nothing like the anime thing that carries its name. (well we do now in the unlimited blade works adaption) And we just have a new patch that has translated the realta nua version of the game. (wich is an all ages game so it does away with the H stuff and replaces it by something else) http://vndb.org/v11 Tsukihime Another must play, and no this one does not have a anime adaption. http://vndb.org/v7 (it is ancient, got no voice and no music. But it is so good) Muv Luv series, now Muv Luv extra is not that good and Unlimited is merely good but alternative is definitly a must read and to understand it completely you need to have read these two first. (I so hope muv luv alternative get's an anime adaption at some point) http://vndb.org/v93 (extra/unlimited) yes they are packed into one game http://vndb.org/v92 (alternative) g senjou maou Is also a must read. http://vndb.org/v211 clannad is also a must read and is together with fate/stay night one of the vn flagships, muv luv can possible also be considered a flagship. http://vndb.org/v4 Other than that there is Grisaia no Kajitsu wich is also a must read. (By the way, no panty shots in this one, just sex jokes by amane instead) http://vndb.org/v5154. But as it is possible you might have read a few of them i will add a couple more fate/Hollow atracxia. (the sequel to fate stay night... sort of) https://vndb.org/v50 Utawarerumono https://vndb.org/v3 Majikoi https://vndb.org/v1143 Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku - https://vndb.org/v1896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimbus Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome to the community, feel free to ask any questions you may have. If you can look past it's pacing issues than I'd recommend Sharin no Kuni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuko Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome~ My friend said he had a copy of Maijikoi (uncensored edition), he is willing to let me barrow it so I guess i'll give it a try. However, I do believe it's in Japanese, so where can I find an English translation patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ene Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome to the forums! If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) then I'd recommend Umineko no Naku Koro ni. It's a really good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayashi Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 KonoSora, Hoshimemo and Grisaia are those must read ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderfullyevil Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello~ I'm not sure which 'When They Cry' you read, so I'll mention both Higurashi and Umineko. Other than that, Phenomeno and Shikkoku no Sharnoth are cool reads if you like horror. The latter has a divisive writing style though. Symphonic Rain is good for romance, but it relies a lot on the atmosphere for the most part, so if you're not into atmospheric storytelling you may not like it.

Snowtsuku Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It would be nice if you can provide us some things that you like. For starters, you can use /topic/2151-50-translated-vns-you-should-read-before-you-die/">this thread as a guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abyssal Monkey Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Judging by the fact that 3/4 the games you just listed are at least partially in the realm of Chuuni, I'm going to recommend Comyu before promptly directing you to Clephas's thread where he has a list of them.

kyrt Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I am going to do one similar to Abyssal Monkey and direct you to the /topic/11104-vn-reading-club-august-chuunibyou-extravaganza-voting/">vn reading club . You can start reading it as the same time as everyone else and have discussions on it with people...come on it'll be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
