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. Available on itch.io: https://nova-box.itch.io/alongtheedge Now available on Steam : http://store.steampowered.com/app/504390/

Where did my torrents go?

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.

"Today we reviewed X VN. Click the link to find out why our objective opinion matters more than yours!"

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.

Wait....YOU'RE NOT A SANDBAG THAT CAN TYPE THINGS ON THE INTERNET

How has Quartett!'s GUI not been mentioned yet. That was the only VN I played where I was actually impressed by all the effort that went into the GUI.

So when is Aaeru bringing torrents back?

I will never understand why decided to "translate" the title "Working!!" to "Wagnaria!!". It's like, you already have an English title as the original, you don't meed to change anything... but let's make it sound Japanese anyway! (And yes, I'm aware Wagnaria is the place they work at, but that still doesn't make the decision to localize it like that any less silly.) Nonetheless, you definitely should watch Working, it's SOL done properly. By the end you'll wish there was another season. Luckily the mangaka released a one volume sequel, but that still didn't quench my thirst!

I am @suikashoujo's dakimakura. More details starting from here:

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

subarashikihibi is a pretentious piece of shit

Consent is overrated.

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

I don't recommend doing that, it's a nightmare to clean the screen afterwards.

okay, now that's just going too far.

you guys are lonely losers and weebs

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

Can you translate this Vn.

Ur all filthy hippocrates.

This hear very fun out, I'm going to give it a try. Fuwanovel are pice of shit

なんでFuwanovelのクソ人間は日本語を勉強しません？

Amazing song, the ending has so much power! I reckon most of you'll love this song.

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?

What? I like these pictures.

purino party to come out in 5days. steam page is up. my life is going to be wasted (again). heil! http://store.steampowered.com/app/483960/ edit. believes them heroines arent visibly fuckable in said version (who would have thought, eh?), but a patch should help you get into their panties.

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).

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.)
