    VN List: Non-ero

    This is just a general list (split into translated and untranslated) of Japanese VNs either recommended by the community at large (the translated) or by me personally (untranslated). I will take requests/additions, because non-ero is not my specialty (sounds worse than it is). The reason why? Because so far, no one has bothered to compile such a list, and as a result we've had about a half dozen request threads to this effect over the past year. If someone can provide me with a comprehensive list of Western-written non-ero VNs that don't suck, please do so so I can add them in (split into shorts and normal-length stories, preferably) Translated Tsukihime (can remove H-scenes) Cross Channel (can remove H-scenes) Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua Symphonic Rain Eien no Aselia Clannad Little Busters (most versions) Rewrite Phantom of Inferno Planetarian Kira Kira (personally don't like this one, but meh) Ever17 Remember11 Never7 Phenomeno Higurashi Umineko I/O Princess Nightmare Chaos;Head Comyu (Credit Flutterz: built-in option to turn off ero-scenes) Katawa Shoujo (Credit Zakamutt: Built-in option to turn off h-scenes) Steins;Gate (Credit Eclipsed) Narcissu (Credit Down) Cho Dengeki Stryker All Ages Version (Credit GetterEmperor) G-Senjou no Maou (Credit Zakamutt: Nudity removal patch exists) True Remembrance (Credit Zakamutt) Aoishiro (Credit Decay) Ef (Credit Snowtsuku can remove h-scenes) World End Economica (Credit SilverLi) If My Heart Had Wings (Credit SilverLi: I hated this game, incidentally) Mirai no Kimi to, Subete no Uta ni (CCM) Rin ga Utau, Mirai no Neiro (CCM) Mirai no Uta to, Tsunagaru Hitomi (CCM) HIganbana (Cloudy12) Corpse Party (PSP-only: from TimeWarp) Danganronpa (PSP-only: from TimeWarp) Fault Milestone one (CCM) Nekopara (CCM) Kyokugen Dasshutsu ADV Zennin Shibou Desu (also known as Virtue's Last Reward from Maefdomn) Kyokugen Dasshutsu 9-Jikan 9-Nin 9 no Tobira (also known as 999 from Maefdomn) Phoenix Wright series (Kyrt) Go go Nippon (Sirius) DanganRonpa2 (Satoshi Mochida) Kamaitachi no Yoru also known as Banshee's Last Cry (Satoshi Mochida) Scar of the Doll (Satoshi Mochida) Rose Guns Days (Cloudy12) Untranslated Tokyo Babel Dies Irae Amantes Amentes Kajiri Kamui Kagura Akebono no Hikari Soushuu Senshinkan Gakuen Hachimyoujin Ten no Toki Muv-Luv Alternative All-ages Edition (Credit Down) Sengoku Koihime Danzai no Maria (dark Otomege) Asaki Yumemishi (Otomege) Bloody Call (Otomege) Guilty Crown Lost Christmas (not by me, by my cousin in Sweden, lol) Mahoutsukai no Yoru WAS - Lepidoptera (Sirius) OELVNs (courtesy of Rooke) Scheherazade Shira Oka Cinders The Royal Trap Magic Diary Nicole Roommates Loren the Amazon Princess Analogue a hate story Digital a love story Don't take it personally babe it just ain't your story Dysfunctional Systems Long-live the Queen (SilverLi) Juniper's Knot (Satoshi Mochida) In this case, I'm actively requesting that people add their suggestions to this list, translated or untranslated. I will then add them to the first post using the edit function. In the case of the translated, I'm not going to judge one way or the other. However, the simple requirement has to be that you thought it was good. Please don't repeat suggestions from above posts. Note: Untranslated console VNs won't be accepted because the unnecessarily high hurdle of not being able to use text hookers on them, which makes them too much for most of our readers.

    life changing vn

    family project, kazoku keikaku. it's been 8 years since i first play this game, still haven't finished it. in fact could not finish it. i don't have the strenght to finished it, to cheat on matsuri in fact. it's the vn, that changed my life perspective. in the moment of my deepest sadness, i always play the bgm, cry and felt better. i'm a man, who lost his father 1 year ago to lung cancer, he's a heavy smoker, no surprise there. age 74. now i live alone with my 75 years old mother. i'm 27 years old. a normal healty, average looking guy. i've got 3.85 gpa in financial management. i'm a very recluse person inside, but on the outside i can act pretty well. i have a good job with 3 subordinates working under me. but i kept my secret inside of me, that i love a vn so much, it drives me on how to live my life. now i fell in love with one of my subordinates who is already married for just 3 years with 2 years old baby she and was 1 or 2 year older than me. she is a strong woman who carried her family. meaning she made most of the money in her family, still taking care of her husband and child while having occasional fight with the mother in law. i was mesmerized by her determination, her integrity and at the same time. felt so shitty... of course she doesn't know, she says she feels lucky to have me as her boss.. i don't feel good right now, so i turn back to the things i loved so much. kazoku keikaku. cause listening to the video 'sakura anatte deatte yokatta' isn't enough anymore. ------ after so many years, i've decide to share my 'feelings' on the best most human clannad predecessor vn. kawahara matsuri. a girl who live in a cardboard box after her parents death.. 16 years old, school at the morning. work at a factory at the afternoon till night, go back to the cardboard box to sleep. rinse and repeat. sawamura tsukasa. if i'm allowed to answer the question 'who am i in one sentence' that would be sawamura tsukasa. he's the personification of myself. every thought of his, every decision presented to him. every decision he made. every feeling he had, every laughter, anger, anoyyance, everything..... is me. there is no other character in anything... that i could relate more than sawamura tsukasa in family project. that is on of the reason why this vn is so so special to me, it felt that it was written FOR ME.. back to matsuri. strong on the outside but very fragile on the inside. working so hard trying to be accepted, afarid of rejection. dont't care about her limit, work work and work to make other people accept her and love her. she wants a family.... a happy one even if its a fake one. in her route, tsukasa and her fiunally buy a house a small flat which used to belong to his family. a cheap one with no bath. no money or anything. but they are happy... the moment when she waited for tsukasa in the dark hoping that he woulnd't leave her, touch me so much that it probably the last thing i would remember on my dying breath. i'm normal in fact so normal that i just want someone like her in real life. someone who is strong, determined, but still fragile on the inside. .... im saying all of this, the deepest thought on my mind in a forum to complete strangers, cause im so miserable right now, i felt like going insane. i don't do diary. i want someone somewhere to read this... if you don't care or care enough to ridicule me, thats all right. even if theres only one person who could share my feelings. thats good enough... i really love her .couldn't act on it of course, i don't want to be the bad guy. thank you, whoever you are if you read this far... thank you

    Well If my heart had wings are recommended and butchered by both sides. If you tolerate horrible English you can enjoy it. I did at least. All ages version exists. I also recommend World End Economica. But I don't know if we should list licensed games?

    VN List: Non-ero

    Well for the untranslated part, lots of good VNs have console ports that are then all-ages, right? If you put Realta Nua or Amantes Amentes I guess you can put the all-ages versions of Grisaia, Iroseka/Irohika, Muv-Luv Alt (this one also has a PC all-ages version), etc... In the translated, Narcissu is worth noting.

  28. Just finished Ep.24. It's too bad that Tatsumi was killed. I was hoping good end for him and Akame, but it looks like Esdeath was only lucky one. At the end she gets Tatsumi for herself :]. Hope that manga will not end up like this. 0

  29. WOW That's the ending the anime gets? I'm so done if the manga ends like this. I decided i'd just jump into the last episode since everyone here pretty much filled me in on what happened and I don't think i missed any vital parts and I don't feel like sitting through the whole thing. So basically everyone except Akame died.. yay... I also love how they just had fireworks set up for celebration, like it was already implied Night Raid would win. I agree the ending should be this way (Night Raid winning and building a new Kingdom) but the anime made it feel a little empty by literally killing off everyone without developing them properly and having Akame only showing her true power at the end like "Hey we're naming the series after her but you'll only know why at the very end!". Note that I'm okay with characters dying, but they should have meaningful deaths and I think Leone's death in particular was horribly done and had no reason to be there (yeah let's just get shot 10 times because having a strong will is much better!) other than being there to kill her off and it just made her character look bad imo and they even dare to make her go around town visiting places with 10 holes punctured in her body. Mine's death was also pretty meaningless given that she had almost no attachment to the story (because the anime cut off the romance between her and Tatsumi which would have made her death a lot more impactful). Tatsumi's death was meh, I guess he never really did have any strong points other than being hte protagonist but I still felt like they were just killing him off for the sake of killing him off, his death added no value whatsoever. Overall after going for an original ending I truly believe Akame ga Kill shot itself in the foot because the pacing and balance between the deaths and the plot progression got totally jumbled up and made it look like a joke by trying to make the climax this deathfest that was like an empty oyster. They just went haphazardly killing off characters to try and desperately make the whole thing more dramatic/impactful which in turn resulted in everything feeling rushed for no reason. Maybe I'm the only one that feels like this but eh. Do you think the manga is also approaching its end?

  30. Oh but his fist blew her head off, as far as I'm concerned. Since Shirou literally sees Rin without a head. Unless Kuzuki pierces Rin's chest in another bad ending, which I do not remember. I don't really recall any other bad end regarding Rin being killed by Kuzuki. Or to be specific, any bad end which details the death of Rin by Kuzuki's hands. Ooor it was removed in Realta Nua and I just don't remember.

  31. Everyone can definitely share their opinion on the matter but more trusted translators' opinions are usually a lot more relevant than that of random ones. I definitely don't have to go around proving everything I say in every single post though. From the very moment you decide to translate something you are already pretty much overwriting the authors' original style, no matter the title and no matter how good you are of a translator/TLC. So complaining about not keeping the original writing intact while translating really is silly if you ask me. Sure, it is exactly because of this that it will always be better to read the title in its original language but that is just reserved for the people that can actually do it. I seriously can't understand the people complaining about stuff like this in what is fundamentally a fan translation. But thanks for proving that the ones that do it are always just complaining about irrelevant and very subjective stuff. Don't want having the authors' flavor changed? Then you definitely should never read a translation.

  32. I played the japanese version and loved it. It's definately the best visual novel out from all the LittleWitch works and propably one of the most complex games out on the market. You could say it's a raising simulator of sorts, but it's far off from games like PM series or even Musumaker. That said, your choices and the way you will raise and teach Aria and Kaya will affect the story and possible endings. Aside from that, it's a really rich game with beautiful art and designs from Oyari and has it's own, small cult following in Japan. It's hard to not enjoy it, even if you're not a huge fan of Oyari's artstyle; the game's incredibly enjoyable and fun, you'll propably spend a lot of time playing with magic.

  33. Definitely strongly against this statement of necessarily having to have one TLC or your project is guaranteed to be pretty much shit. Seriously, this really is not the case and it really depends a lot on the person that is doing the translation. Shit happens, and like the comment before mine here, a translator can burn himself out sometimes, that's a given. However that really doesn't mean you can't be good enough to TLC your own work or pull a good raw translation without actually having to depend on a TLC. In my personal opinion any given TLC really is just a waste of time for any translation out there. If you're not actually capable of taking care of the script on your own, then you're most likely not ready to be a translator just yet. It is probably thanks to sticking to Ixrec as a mentor that I can probably say this though. Then again, borrowing his words here, the very idea of seeking a TLC for everything out there falls into what is just massively overcomplicating things and having an overly high opinion of what it is we are all doing, which is just a simple fan translation. One other thing I'm also strongly against is having more than one translator work for a given project. As also recommended by Ixrec himself, it is definitely a bad idea to consider having more than one translator for a project, no matter how big it may be. You either do it or you just don't even try to. It is actually because most projects usually tend to have more than one translator that the finished work is generally a really messy mix of different translations styles that most of the time don't constitute what could be called a decent translation. But in the end there really is no need to overcomplicate stuff. A fan translation is exactly what the name implies, so my advice for any beginning translator out there would be to actually attempt to translate something following the points that were listed in this thread, definitely try to get stuff done and improve from experience alone. Also, for anyone out there actually trying you should definitely find yourself a more experienced translator that is willing to help you. It helps you improve so much faster than what you'd actually expect.
