Why I endorse JAST’s censorship of Shiny Days

In a feature article on my personal blog, I delve into the controversy surrounding JAST's censorship of Shiny Days. Starting with official statements by JAST and its staff members, I collect and critically evaluate available evidence and reach a seemingly paradoxical conclusion: that those who champion freedom of expression should support JAST's censorship of Shiny Days. Whether you're an ardent opponent of censorship or simply curious about the fuss, this is an article you don't want to miss.

Makenshi Leane: A surprisingly addictive NTR-focused strategy game

VNDB DLSite (NSFW) Official site I came across this Japanese-language title while scrounging around for gameplay titles with defeat rape. I found the concept of defeat NTR intriguing, so I gave the game a spin. The game's "prologue" spans almost half the game's length (~20hrs total) , and manages to tell a reasonably interesting tale of a broken nation's struggle against a brutal and militaristic empire. It starts off with a cliched love story between a knight commander (the protagonis

The Eroge Scene in Parody: Translator Baseball

(An old parody I wrote in 2013, I'm reposting here for general amusement. See the original forum thread for initial reactions.)   Announcer: It’s a beautiful day for baseball today in Eroge Stadium. I’m your host Sanahtlig here to provide commentary for Visual Novel Translation TV. Today the Localizers play against the Fan Translators in a special Western League All-Star game. This should be an interesting matchup. On the Localizers team we have representatives from Mangagamer inc

On my interest in eroge and the eroge industry

This is a response to a comment from Tay (which I suspect has ulterior motives).   Eroge, as told through the visual novel medium, fill a void in my life. I'm well past college age, yet I've never touched a girl romantically, much less kissed or dated. You might say I'm starved for romance, yet I have little interest in dating. I could go into detail, but I'm not that interested in discussing my personal life publicly or privately. I'm going through changes in my life that might very well chang

Visual novel RPG Seinarukana needs to be marketed as a JRPG to succeed

Peter Payne, owner of VN publisher JAST and the J-List empire, made the following comment in their official forums: JAST's experience with RPGs JAST has released several RPGs over the years, including the Raidy series, Brave Soul, Aselia the Eternal, and most recently Yumina the Ethereal. JAST has said hinted before that the Raidy series did very well for them, and they seemed quite eager to work on Raidy 3, so I'd infer that it's not included in this assessment. Brave Soul was heavily pir
