Fuwanovel: A "safe space" where VN casualfags gather to circlejerk about otome games and cheap Western knockoffs, decry rational criticism and alternative viewpoints, and "translate" native Japanese-language works using text hookers, Google Translate, and the honed language skills they picked up from reading Heisig's Remembering the Kanji.

Do I need to memorize hiragana to learn japanese?

Hey I Liked Another One So Go Buy This One Kthx Read the review here!

Along the Edge is a visual novel set in the European countryside, where your choices impact the main character's personality and appearance. Story: Daphné is at a dead-end. She's unsatisfied by her personal and professional life. So, when she inherits an old family house in a remote part of the country, she jumps at the opportunity to start anew. Does she decide to embrace her legacy or does she hang on to her old way of life? Along the Edge is developed by a small team located at Bordeaux (France). It's our second narrative project, and our first one for desktop computers. Here's a link to our website: http://alongtheedge-game.com/ Trailer: Progress: Finished.

Where did my torrents go?

Decided to join @DarkZedge on the Innocent Grey love and made my profile pic Yukari because she's great.

It's a Velociraptor.

I finished No, Thank You!!! a bit ago. It was my first BL title, and I liked it enough. The art is very nice, and it's one of those stories that you can tell has been very well planned out in advance, which always makes me happy. There's a lot of replay value, and the addition of new text after finishing portions of the game helps with that, but it does make it very annoying to get 100%. I might move on to Ozmafia, but I'm going to want to read Grisaia no Meikyuu when it comes out as well. Should I wait on Ozmafia and get Grisaia as soon as it comes out, or start Ozmafia now? And is there a recommended route order for Ozmafia?

$11.99USD according to this.

People who like H-scenes are perverts who are failures of evolution and are no more mentally developed than worms

Since they're all I've been reading lately, I'll take a moment to say good things about the last project I edited for and the one I'm currently editing: To Heart 2 is pretty entertaining. It's a straightforward moege with a huge cast of heroines, and to some extent represents the solidification of many of the tropes you see today. One interesting thing about this is that there are some tropes there that didn't end up being popular enough to become super common, but which might be to your taste. And on that note, I'd like to recommend: Tama-nee is the older sister figure you secretly wish you had in your life, but wouldn't admit to it even here. She was my favorite character I encountered in the game, even though her route didn't live up to her character. Also, her H-scene at the end of the route is intense And then there's the twins. They've got the opposite thing going on from Tama-nee - none of the characters on this route are as amazing as she, but the route is way, way better than I anticipated going in. The drama is surprisingly real. I was a little bit leery when I picked it up. I mean... twins? Sounds like an obvious play for whipping up teenage males into a frenzy without putting out too much effort. And, yeah, it is that. But it's also filled with relatable conflict and relationship difficulties that feel less like your typical moege artificial obstacles and more like understandable human problems. And then at the end: So yeah, play the twins' route, too. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't heartily encourage you to play through all the bad ending scenes for the twins (one wrong choice and you'll land there, anyway). That's not just me wanting someone to read the stuff I edited - it's often legitimately hilarious, and one scene is crushingly heartbreaking. I'd find it a tragedy if nobody else ever played the game-within-the-game, Love Love New Heart, and equally tragic if you don't get to have your heart broken the way mine was by some of those scenes. And so, that leaves my current project, MajoKoiNikki: It's good. Like, really good. So far I've only read the prologue (which I've now read most of twice, and first-pass edited half of myself), but I'm very, very excited to keep reading and see what happens next, and I'm basically head over heels for all the characters. When we were divvying up first-pass edit duties for the character routes a couple days ago, I literally couldn't decide which routes I wanted because all the girls are so much fun. Look forward to it!

Nope. It turns out many people on the internet adopt misleading personas. For instance, I am actually neither a sandbag nor a barber.

Sekai Project is a great company

Chinese porn games.

It's really interesting to see the new members form their own groups, it's as if the old members who shaped Fuwanovel are slowly disappearing and starting to not care about the site anymore, i personally am one of those people, and while it's not meant to be a bad thing, a lot of old members who used to be active are starting to realize how much this site has turned, there really is no unity on Fuwanovel at this point, It used to be a site dedicated to finding a common interest and banning together on site projects/ideas, but now it's just a haven for social cliques, Anyways, not trying to be a negative Nancy, Congratulations on 1,000.

The good news is, we have a backup of the forums from a month ago.

no hacker still but yeah I'm still translating lines from time to time

I'd translate like this, "Don't apologize. You're a girl, so you just pretend I'm the one to blame here." I only know this Caprese man from your post, but he seems to me like such a gentle man.

Problem solved. I'm glad to have been of assistance

I don't actually hate Sekai Project, I like Looseboy's writing, and found F/SN's h-scenes hot. fightme.gif

Only normies are bothered by mosaics.

Some Kazuna love

Yuri does indeed offer quite a different type of story to normal eroge. First off, you have a female protagonist, which makes things quite different right off the bat. You can get a bit of a fresh and new protagonist, without the totally overused traits you see in every male protagonist ever. They also usually have voice acting, which is very nice. The games have a new type of humor opened up to them with a pure female cast, which is a breath of fresh air as well. In my opinoin, the romance tends to be better, yes. (Now, this part really is just pure subjective opinion.) I feel like yuri romance is a lot sweeter, and a lot deeper most of the time. (Sadly, a lot of the translated yuri titles tends to be nukige, or short, plotless stories. But even in these cases, I really like the romance more often than not. If you want more lengthy stories with more depth, you have to move into the untranslated side of things.) A lot of the time, yuri stories will be pure love stories, and not a plot driven story with romance on the side. This can be both a negative and a positive point, depending who you ask. It opens for a lot more time to develop the romance, and a lot more character development/ growth, but at the same time, it can get boring as there is usually nothing but slice of life moments, which can get tedious if you aren't a fan of that. My favorite part about yuri love stories tends to be the, "when do they move from friends to lovers" stage. It's usually really sweet and enjoyable, and much better than standard boy x girl romance. Also, lastly... although it's a really shallow reason, yuri H-scenes tends to be great. (If you are like me, you are tired of the "please, if it hurts too much, please tell me. No, it's okay protagonist-kun, I want to become one with you." Blergh ...) It really does come down to prefrences though. If you don't really have an interest in girl x girl romance, then you probably wont enjoy yuri, (obviously.)

Euphoria. The UI felt really smooth and there was a lot of control in terms of customising to fit your preferences, not to mention the panic button.

Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai. or And options - you can set any wallpaper Most customizable UI that i seen. Can be played on gamepad. It may be perfect if they give option to change font size and colors...And fast skip to choices.

So when is Aaeru bringing torrents back?

Your MAL says you haven't watched Wagnaria yet. You should get on that, ASAP.

muv luv alt, why? because it doesn't have one

subarashikihibi is a pretentious piece of shit

This isn't really a Skype quote, or even a quote for that matter, but it was too funny to not post.

Gravity Green was absolute eye cancer.

So VN's are just porn game's right?

Where's the new homepage?

I see no problem with cheating in singleplayer. Back in the days where I figured out hex editing, I invented a new game for myself: how many games can I gain 99 lives in? That actually turned out to be more fun than some of the games themselves and fun is the keyword here. Sometimes a game is good in general, but there is just one tiny bit in it, which you absolutely hate and why not use a patch to make you always win or skip that silly unbeatable minigame? I'm seriously considering cheating in Kamidori to get Devil Beads. You can only get one in each playthrough (unless you use certain rare magic items, in which case you can get up to 3-4). Even worse you need kill a high level boss in one blow while he has more than 50% hits left when you hit him, meaning there is a high risk you will not get any at all (which is the case for me). After something like 300 hours I still haven't managed to get even a single one and a minimum of 4 will be required to unlock all H scenes. I get the idea of hard to get resources, but this is just ridicules.

Little Busters had a much more well written story than all those shitty Chuunige. Oh you sweet, sweet child...

Ur all filthy hippocrates.

If you want something slow, calm and soulful. Check this band out. Loveit!

Well, I finished Chihayafuru yesterday. Everything about that show was simply amazing. From the smack on the tatami mat to the opening and ending theme songs, anything involving sound and Chihayafuru was sweet love to my ears. Just thinking about it makes me happy! Then when it came to romance, I felt like it was handled more than fairly well. After watching Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu I was looking for a "josei" title, which is how I found Chihayafuru. While the anime unfortunately didn't get to the point where any direct romance occurred, I was able to feel the emotions of Mashima, Oe, Arata, Chihaya, Hanano, and the whole cast. The poems also helped a great deal at getting me to feel more than they were letting on. The art style and animation were superb. I can't say it was on the level of UBW, but it doesn't have to be. Don't really have anything to say more about this category, it was a lot of fun to watch and that's what matters. Now if only karuta was a thing in the US... Side rant - God everything was so damn amazing! Chihaya so cute!!! Fucking love this show so much I need another anime to watch after Chihaya, any recommendations?

The Sandman, Neil Gaiman

I give it 5 adorbs out of 5. Would watch those legs for days.

Sorry it took so long to respond. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I think your point about Ayu never having met Makoto and Mai, was very interesting. I always assumed that because both Mai and Makoto possess miraculous powers of their own, that Ayu's was not needed. But the fact that they never even met Ayu is another good reason why her miracle wasn't used on them. And I think this is an interesting deviation that the VN has from the 2006 anime. The 2006 anime seems to imply that Ayu's last wish, was Yuuichi's last wish. So what ever he wished for, is what would happen. But in the VN, the wish is more clearly based on Ayu's desire. Hence why it only happens to people she met. As you seemed to conclude, Yuuichi really is the catalyst for all the miracles in Kanon. And what makes this so significant, is that he is unaware of this. Not only is he unaware, but he is very much presented to the reader as a normal guy (almost a self-insert). But if we take Mai's words to heart, there is something special about Yuuichi. But it seems that only the Heroines are able to see this. And because the story is in first person, we, much like Yuuichi himself, do not see what is so special about him. To us, it seems that these miraculous things happen around him. But perhaps there is something miraculous about him. In fact, the miracle of Ayu's ghost did not manifest until Yuuichi returned to the town. Ayu may have been desperately waiting for Yuuichi for years, but it was not until Yuuichi physically returned to the town that her ghost appeared. Theoretically, if the power for her to create a ghost of herself sub-consciously was all hers, then she could have done so at anytime. She could have had the ghost manifest and wander around the town for years, waiting for Yuuichi in the real world. But it is only when Yuuichi returns, that she is able to create this ghost. There are only two possible explanations. The most common interpretation (the one the anime implies), is that her desire to meet Yuuichi again was so strong, that she could sense his presence. Thus subconsciously she knew that Yuuichi was not in the town, so she didn't put the effort to create a manifestation of herself to search for him. That is, until she sensed his return. But the other possibility, is that she was unable to create a manifestation of herself to search for Yuuichi, until he returned. This reading suggests that Yuuichi carries some sort of miraculous aura around him, that gives birth for the opportunity for these miracles. Or if I were to further define what I mean, I think Yuuichi is like a conductor (like an electronic conductor) for miracles. He is incapable of creating any himself, but he has the ability to enhance the power of those who are capable. In the case of Ayu, she clearly holds the power of the miracles that relate to her. The Ayu that everybody sees is clearly a projection of her subconscious. But the ability to project such a realistic version of herself, may have to do with Yuuichi's presence enhancing her power to do so. In Mai's case, it is established that she has the power to save life, and to even create demons. But she is only able to unlock the ability to use her power to save herself through Yuuichi's presence. And lastly, regarding Makoto. Makoto's power was to create a temporary human form. But through her own raw power, she could only create a form of herself that would get weaker, die, and disappear. But because of Yuuichi's presence, her power is made strong enough where she can be reborn. So to conclude, I think there is something miraculous about Yuuichi. And I think this subtly is overlooked in the 2006 anime adaptation. Once again, I am so sorry that it took this long to respond. Simply put, I did not have the mental energy until now to write a thought out and articulate response to your response. I hope that the wait has not been in vain. PS: Code Geass is a really fun ride, hope you enjoyed it ( you have probably finished it by now).

Why all of those tapestries always look the same...

If they did, literature wouldn't sell as poorly as it does. Or romance/smut novels wouldn't be the largest selling genre (by miles and miles, over fantasy/sci-fi ... I think.) Also, I grew up in the 90s when geeks were DnDing all over the place, making their own campaigns and constructing user defined stories. Comic books and the like. Living in the library, devouring fantasy. Dunno how it is in modern times. I think this is a really big issue and simplifying it down to a single point is a good way to completely overlook the problems. Many people view gaming as a social exercise where they play together in groups, and in fact it's become one of the most popular social activities for friends - MMOs or together IRL. Not to mention twitch and streaming in real time with people watching and commentating on social media. Reading would dampen this experience. Gaming has advanced well past the days where there used to be 1 guy in a darkened room. Some people also use it to relieve stress with simulated violence, reading would also hamper this experience. Lastly many people don't really feel comfortable reading at a computer or on a console (I like to lie down and read, for instance - it's nicer on my back.) To say people don't like to read because they don't like to read 'while gaming' involves a pretty big leap of faith. Anyway, imo it's not that the West doesn't like to read it's because VNs don't appeal to those who like to read (while those who want games will complain about the lack of gameplay.)

This is starting to sound like an OELVN. Next you're going to say it won't be voiced.
