It was today that @Kiriririri decided that it was time to ruin me and henceforth destroy my image. It was nice knowing you Fuwans.

The only choices Neko Para needs if it ever gets any are come inside / come outside.

The only advice you need is to not get into a relationship in the first place.

Hello there, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Illusion, I have been reading visual novel for a long time. As I said at "What was your first VN and how was it?", my first visual novel was Little Busters and I turned into an avid reader. It is not my first time here on Fuwanovel, I really value your efforts to make VNs popular here in the west. I do not know what to say... I have read some light novels as well, I do not like manga though. I read mostly untranslated ones, my favourite works are plot-based, despite this I still enjoy some moeges. I apologise for my bad writing, I am not a native speaker but I hope we get along. Regards.

Craigslist.

This is the only reason I am here so yeah. It's a pretty big factor for me.

Funny, I did exactly the same in the last weeks. Finished the game yesterday. I don't know what to think about Ar nosurge. It's by far the best exa_pico game in terms of romance. Cass and Delta are probably the most awesome couple I saw in the last few years in a JRPG. They are so lovely-dovey with each other, it makes my heart going fuwa very strong. I usually don't like tsundere characters but Cass is so adorable honest and fragile with her personality. And Delta is a really good-hearted guy without being boring or lame. I love how the game has nearly no harem vibe (aside from stupid side-stories which really were unnecessary) and two predetermined couples, so we get to see relationship building without the boring who gets whom part. That said, I have to say that Earthes is sadly the worst character of all and kinda brings the whole game down. Ironically, when I started the game I thought he would be the character and his relationship with Ion would be the one I will like the most. That's because the Anata-concept in Ciel nosurge was executed flawlessly and I think Ciel is one of the best selfinserting "dating sims" ever made. Earthes execution in Ar nosurge however is ... horrible. He is the worst character of the cast and that's because he is supposed to be "me", but I never felt that this would be the case. Instead, everything Earthes did, I didn't want him to do. But the game forces me to do this stuff! And the games also want me to want to do it. But this doesn't work at all. When I want to be empathetic, the game forces me to be a smartass. When I want to act, the game forces me to be an hetare. When I want to be raburabu with Ion, the game forces me to flirt with other characters. WTF. Epic fail. The ending is the worst of all. Having no "Shut the fuck up, bitch"-choice ruined my immersion completely.

...You've done it? I mean, I know Ren has. But you have? Yes, I actually have. But that's not the real deal. I tried groping on a real, natural, and a lively one at that, and payed the price. But man oh man, it was soft. No regrets! That's at least one fuwan with a restraining order

Except that Commies not the only team working on an English translation of Mahoyo, a team over at beast lair is and they already released a 5 chapter partial. Anyways, I am not upset about it going official, its great news because it means we might have a shot at an official Sakura no Uta Localization plus Subahibi is worth buying and the fact that I dont have to throw money at another annoying kickstarter campaign all the better.

its chaos;grandpa until jast gets around releasing it, provided this is no troll post & even then.....so yo calm down everbody

I still believe in the Shigure route dream.

I am upset about lack of confidence in people words. And I am upset is that old fansub scene is dead, everyone went from hobby to salary. I am not upset about going official, I am just do not want to get hyped before getting official KeroQ announcement. And I really do not want any mosaics, that's a most important thing for me when anyone speak about western release. If this all would be true and no mosaics - I would be happy. It is not like I am against any official release, I just want to have all done in good way (yeah, I have an examples done in bad way, that's why I am so skeptic). So in essence you are upset because people want to be paid for their work?

I bring you Moe ^^, hope it's to your liking

Ahhh, years you said? Gah, I guess I wouldn't mind devoting about 5 years to learning Japanese if I could no longer have the need to rely on translations to read visual novels anymore. I just hope that it's possible to have an end-goal in sight rather than finding out later that you need a whole lifetime of Japanese-learning to truly enjoy visual novels. lol Well, although it will most likely take a few years to be able to read without any programs at all, during the learning period you can still read things untranslated with the aid of programs, such as text hookers and parsers. And let me tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than actually being able to understand lines in the VN, completely without the help of the programs; actually noticing your improvement. It's a long ride, but it will be worth it in the long run if you are actually serious about it and want to do it. I'm sure some of the other members who have actually know Japanese can give a little more info on this topic. Anyways, I've ranted long enough. Again, welcome to the forum!

Quote is part of a piece of poetry that I've had published. Waifu - Kazuna from Cartagra. ^^ yours 7.5/10 simply because not centered and it makes my ocd twitch. Though the girl is cute.

Hey, welcome to the forum! To answer your question, reading visual novels untranslated is possible even without knowing the language completely, with the use of text hookers and translation programs. Personally, I have been learning Japanese on my own for about 6 months, and I am capable of reading fairly normal moege titles with ease. That being said, a lot of VNs in the mystery, horror genre and also other VNs with plot that would naturally introdouce difficult words and phrases are difficult to read, even with these programs, and it would probably take years of learning to truly have a pleasant reading experience with such titles. Clephas has a fairly in depth thread on this, though I don't have the link for it at the moment. Let me edit the post once I find it. EDIT: Here it is

*hands Kiri the staple gun* Ruin things. Ruin them all.

there is clearly an agreement not being fulfilled here.

Practically my only two complaints with this game are 1) too short and 2) the mom's breasts are a bit too big for my taste

It's obvious that Nekopara being kinetic hasn't hurt it any. The moe is too strong.

awesome avatar! Also welcome! I hope youll enjoy the "mostly nice" people here

For the most part, yeah, I'd agree that kinetic novels have less replay value. But there are exceptions, Nekopara being one But I disagree about the captivation. A longer visual novel (with choices) doesn't necessarily mean I would be more engrossed in it.

Confession: We're getting the snowstorm of the decade tonight

Welcome to fuwa .

Doesn't that make it difficult to get rid of the fake snow?

so far not dissappointed by izumo4, getting some pretty neat oldschool vibes from it, but for those still beeing sceptical because of debonosus former works partly questionable quality, its dialogues & writing in general appear way more refined than in those, which is mostly due to light´s staff (though kurashiki also worked for clockup etc) having handled all the scenario & music to try doing the series justice by creating something that feels epic to the reader himself. like tyrosin mentioned, there´s a reason to it, why they decided on releasing it under studio e-go & not debonosu, but best see for yourself... edit. lots of battle mikos everywhere catering towards the strong miko fetish of mine.

Aaron. They better be crunchy. Does socializing in real life interest you? If so, in what way?

FUCK Not even Virtue's Last Reward made me cry FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

...You've done it? I mean, I know Ren has. But you have? Yes, I actually have. But that's not the real deal. I tried groping on a real, natural, and a lively one at that, and payed the price. But man oh man, it was soft. No regrets! That's at least one fuwan with a restraining order If they say "NOOooo!". It just means they are shy. -Eroge experience.

RIP Lemmy

Confession: sometimes you need a bad thing to happen to you in life to be like a bitch slap to show you what you have been doing wrong...

Welcome to the community, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Comyu is great - definitely read it, but given what you said you're looking for, maybe not right now. If you're looking for light and fun, I'm betting KoiChoco is the right choice for you. But you know, maybe you're actually looking for something really great and only think you're looking for something light and fun. And if that's the case, Comyu. Definitely.

Spoiler:

Who knows Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai. Thank you two.

You ever had an account before? Would be super cool if you were an old comrade back to life~ Anyway, welcome. Hope you enjoy fuwa. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask.

Welcome.

Hello Illusion and welcome to the forum. I guess this is a start for you to get other Fuwa members to know you better. You just registered and you've become a Backer, I'm suprised .

welcome to the forum! Enjoy your stay!

Okay, pack it up, guys. This is getting ridiculous. Locked. If you want to keep arguing, do it over PMs.

indisputably false. I really have no clue what /a/ sings is even. Next person has a penchant for cat petting.

The release will be a complete game, suitable for Steam and general audience. A FREE patch will be hosted by MiKandi USA that patches in the 18+ content. An "erotic" expansion if you will. Thanks for asking and your support ;-)

Thanks, guys! Some great ideas here already, keep em coming. Babiker, if it does happen (I'll definitely submit the panel, but of course it might not get accepted...), I'll try to at least do an audio recording and post that along with slides. I... probably don't have the self-confidence to post a video recording of myself to the internet.

You can try the murder mystery detective Cartagra + Kara no Shoujo + Kara no Shoujo: The Second Episode. The MCs are detectives, there's romance, and people die

watching twin peaks again what a good show, crazy as fuck xD

That's very cool but what about the last 12 or so year
