Hello ! KoaMoa here! I'm new at this page; even though I've read/played VN's for a long time, it's my first time on some VN related forum. So, I don't really know much about this kind of things (actually, never been on forums at all orz ). My english is kind of crappy since I'm a Spanish speaker, but I can perfectly read it and understand it. I'm a Otome trash. And BL too! But I'm just into reading any type of VN as long as it's sad and happy (kind of into KEY's work, hahaha). If you can recommend me any interesting VN, I would really appreciate it! Oh, and! I'm also a Jap-Eng / Jap-Esp translator with experience on both Light Novels and Manga (not much at VN(?)) so, whenever you need any help translation related, feel free to send me a message and I'll help you out!! Hope to get along with everyone!

This is a test post, based on the results of the poll I posted a few weeks back. The win was borderline, so if I don't get a reasonably large response, I won't continue to post about my conventional reading. The Black Jewels Trilogy, by Anne Bishop is one of my favorite book series of all time. It is a dark, sensual fantasy based in a unique universe, where a race of magic aristocrats called the Blood rule three worlds, Tereille, Kaeleer, and Hell. The main characters of the story are a triangle surrounding one young girl whose very existence is their every hope and dream... for she is 'Dreams Made Flesh', Witch, the Queen of the Darkness. Those main characters are: Daemon Sadi, a male pleasure slave that has been twisted by over seventeen hundred years of abuse at the hands of the women of Terreille, protecting himself from madness only by the prophecy given to him seven hundred years before, that Witch was coming; Lucivar Yaslana, a slave and member of the winged Eyrien race, who has lived his entire life being called a half-breed bastard; Saetan SaDiablo, the High Lord of Hell, the High Priest of the Hourglass, who became a half-undead Guardian fifty thousand years before so that he would one day be given the opportunity to serve and protect the 'daughter of his soul'... and the father of Lucivar and Daemon; and last of all, the point around which the three revolve, Jaenalle, dreams made flesh, Witch, a kind-hearted young girl who wanders the Realms and is destined to one day rule from Ebon Askavi. First, I should note that the Blood are matriarchal, forming circles of obligation centered around natural-born Queens (a cast based on a genetic quirk that isn't tied to magical power but rather the nature of the female), who in turn form circles of males who serve to form a court. The highest rank of male are the Warlord Princes, primal individuals who possess sharp, murderous tempers and an intense need to protect. Ideally, the Queens hold their leashes lightly, and the first rule of Blood Protocol is to 'protect', then 'serve', and third to 'obey'. Unfortunately, due to the influence of two ambitious Priestesses from the long-lived Hayllian race, the Blood in Terreille have become twisted and corrupt, the good Queens vanishing over the course of generations, leaving only twisted monstrosities of the human spirit in their place, women who know only how to use and enslave men... resulting in the men in their districts becoming ever more twisted themselves, as their experiences warp their reactions to their instincts, breaking them a little more with each generation. It is into this Terreille that Jaenalle is born and Daemon and Lucivar have lived. Saetan, bound by his personal honor, has not been able to protect his sons, and when the daughter of his soul, already wounded by the corruption in Terreille first appears before him, it is only his long experience and iron will that keep him from crossing the final line he has held to for over fifty thousand years. This series is a story of the trials and travails of the circle of relations that orbit the four points of the triangle, as the outer points try to protect the center, Jaenalle, so that the dream might one day become a salvation to them all. Honestly, Anne Bishop's brilliance lies in her ability to intimately portray the emotional travails of the characters, the subtle and not so subtle dance of Protocol and power, and the unique nature of the Blood make this one of the single richest experiences out there for dark fantasy. In a culture where murder is legal but rape is punishable by death, but where the rules are breaking down, the central characters are a bastion of sanity in a world rapidly heading toward horror and despair beyond imagining. As Anne Bishop says in the forward in the omnibus edition, 'I started this world with Daemon, Jaenalle, and Lucivar, but it was Saetan who brought it to life.' She started out imagining a world where Darkness was, from the beginning to end, the dominant force, and in that darkness were both a vicious edge of violence, a terrible gentleness, and a primal, deep sort of love. The characters in this series are passionate, with deep wells of potential violence and compassion both. Saetan, Lucivar, Daemon, and Jaenalle are all individuals possessing a near-infinite capacity for both love and violence... and above all, they strive to protect.

"Hello everyone, I come with a translation project And it is the visual novel "Otome Domain" Vndb: https://vndb.org/v18149 Description from VNDB: thinks about how he was blessed to have family, but dryly laughs about how he’ll need to take care of himself now. However, during the funeral of his grandmother, someone named Kazari approaches him and offers to admit him into a prestigious school, in addition to providing him a place to reside. Minato immediately and thankfully takes up on this offer, but soon realizes that the Suzu Academy is an all-girl’s school, and the "ojou-sama" that he’ll be residing with has flaws of their own which really shattered his expectation for a high-class lady.

Confession: I arrived on a tropical island about three hours ago. I got to my room and promptly started unpacking. At some point that involved getting out my computer so I could charge my kindle, because it's almost out of battery. And then before I knew it I was posting on Fuwa. I-It's not like I wanted to talk to you guys or anything.

Okay, at least now I'll have two followers! XD I can start mmmmmm probably next month? After putting my life back on track... And don't need to apologize, girl! *protects KoaMoa*

She really is.

I've seen plenty of people change their opinion due to Internet discussions. It's certainly waaaaay more rare than just sticking to what you believe because "my balls say so", but it does happen. Ofc, it's conditioned on people being both able and ready to challenge their ideas and facing the possibility of being wrong, which helps make it so odd to see in real life. Kinda like politics, with how candidates spend more time trying to ingrate themselves to the people through shallow gestures and words rather than state how their plans will benefit them.

Speak for yourself. I use to lean conservative until someone on the internet convinced me otherwise.

Haro- SOoooo we had little talk with Hymen and decided that I wouldo do an amazing ASDK ME ANYTGINGU thread so ---------> H(ere <--------- it is!! So ask this cute pedololi anything you want. Answers might be real or not, only Shinku God knows~~~ Obligatoru: Also me irl:

Thank you For the advice and dont worry I dont get traumatized that easily

Oh shit! Didn't realize that, so sorry D: ! Gotta change that omggggg, so sorry DD: !!!

Welcome! Then this is probably a mistake.

Hahaha don't worry about it, feel free to talk whatever you feel like it on the post xD And also, I would really love to read both of your blogs ! Let the world know about more BL <3!!! D:< !

It was nice reading them all~

I just finished season 1 and am convinced that Akatsuki-chan is the cutest thing ever.

I don't know what in the actual f**** is happening to the Members' Lounge right now, but I still have an announcement of sorts. I've written first two reviews for the blog, so next Friday, 1st of December, I'll start posting stuff. I'll do it on weekly basis (always on Fridays) whenever I have enough material and once every two weeks whenever I'm hopelessly busy or out of ideas. Actually, writing those two pieces consumed two full evenings from me somehow, I need some time to actually read VNs too. Also, as I go with strictly spoiler-free approach, my blog could've been named "Plk_Lesiak's Obnoxiously Vague Reviews", but in the end I've went with even more questionable "Pride of the West". Actual content coming soonTM.

konnichiwharro since Kiri actually made an AMA thread, I have to do one myself and stuff now so どうぞよろしくお願いいたします～ now here's the part where I spam smug faces:

「人生は選択の連続だ」なんていうのは、失敗してから振り返って思う、後悔の絞りかすみたいなものだ。過去の少し先にある、当たり前の明日へ。

I am steins;gate trash.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and there's some quite interesting taste that you got there. For the recommendation, maybe Second Reproduction if you didn't play that yet. Hope you had fun here.

Spanish crap: Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy your stay

hi otome trash i am trash if you ever want to chat with some kuuru guys check here https://discord.gg/9QVpYBb

B-b-but I so wanted to test out my new sword... Jokes aside, you're right! RIGHT! Maybe I should make a topic or a blog in the future about otome and BL news and discussions (if anyone is willing to read my messy writing that is, teach me how to make a proper blog senpaaaaaaaaai)

A peaceful revolution is always an option. Don't give up the fight so easily, both of You. Getting that part of the VN community more active here would be fun.

On the one hand it sounds really interesting, on the other hand I'm shuddering from the thought of what a VN a company like Black Lillith would make out of this story. But the books seem rather popular - I could get them even in my own language.

1990s are over. And to commemorate that I've made a video playlist of all the openings/demo/endings with singing/energetic instrumental from 1990s here I'll be making such playlists for each new year starting with 2000 since each year is going to have over 100 such opening/ending/demo themes. Second Windows era year is behind. It failed to bring such a game that I'd announce Vn of the year 1999 right away. Instead, it brought a number of quality galge and some quirky cryptic games that I personally had a good time unwinding. Let's prolong the chart. VN per year Year Total Listed Blocked 1991 75 40 (53%) 35 (47%) 1992 80 49 (61%) 31 (39%) 1993 121 46 (38%) 75 (62%) 1994 155 61 (39%) 94 (61%) 1995 180 58 (32%) 122 (68%) 1996 183 83 (46%) 100 (54%) 1997 202 91 (45%) 111 (55%) 1998 303 133 (44%) 170 (56%) 1999 441 164 (37%) 277 (63%) Windows years show a rapid increase in number of games, almost 50% total growth overall compared to 1998. In 1999 there's a shift towards blocked games, mostly because of nukige number increase. Let's look at year 1999 highlights: It becomes a habit to issue first press edition with some omake inside and then regular edition. Doujin fan games make an appearance. Notably there is one doujin game for "One" and as many as three doujin games for "Kanon" in 1999. And Comic Party is notable for this movement. There was a short momentum of console games transition to PC with H scenes added (Kiss yori...), but it did not gain much continuation. In 1999 child pornography law came into force in Japan and from that time every single heroine in the games suddenly turned 18 years old. But appearance might suggest otherwise - such heroines started to be called loli. Year 1998 was notable mostly for graphic advances (thus the small number of masterpieces), but it hit the limit and in 1999 there is much more attention to the scenario. Nakige as class did not exist till 1999. But throughout the year it gained a universal spread and multiple magazines were making the list of the best nakige of 1999. Command selection ADV is almost extinct this year. Even Adam:The Doublefactor went for point-and-click instead. To choose the game of the year 1999 let's observe the masterpieces presented: Captain Love Comic party Elemental Arts Green Kanon Kazeoto, Chirin L no Kisetsu: A piece of memories Mamatoto ~a record of war~ Memories Off Refrain Love 2 Silver Jiken Spark! Tokimeki Memorial 2 So, thirteen. A very solid selection. I don't really have a personal favorite here. And there is no such work that I'd say - yes - it' perfect. Taking out cryptic, simulation, rpg, bakage and ero-centered works we basically left only with Captain Love, Kanon, L no Kisetsu, Memories Off, Refrain Love 2 - a bunch of pretty normal galge. And among those Kanon quality level is significantly higher and thus Kanon is the Vn of the Year 1999.

Welcoooooome!!! *cries* I get emotional every time a new Otome and BL trash fellow appears here... you know what, we should start a revolution to change things around here... (Disclaimer: this is a joke, mods, don't ban me, i'm not trying to overthrow you guys)

QAQ I was searching around and yeah, couldn’t really find much of Otome nor BL, but well, at least I got some interesting Eroge titles xD ! Thanks for your message!

Simple yet elegant, I have the same wallpaper on both my screens and I think it looks pretty good even if it's simple. I like having it clean and in order too :3

My Fuwaspeak of Incoherence only happens on Fuwa, it's a phenomena that intrigues even me Like if you saw Kurigohan and Kamehameha posting like that levels of intriguing

No no, keep going with Kara no Shoujo, one of its bad ends made me alt-f4 on the spot in utter devastation

Also, the jokes are kinda lame and really repetitive. But it's easy to forgive from an otherwise excellent show.

I think you might be interested in Youko Hasekura from Cross Channel then since she is definitely devoted

She's there! https://vndb.org/c16800 But she's MC sister, I hope you don't mind incest. And you didn't find your ultimate yandere waifu yet, hun?

I still hadn't confessed to the girl i like. el psy kangeroo It's El, Psy, Kongroo, stop the alcohol Eclipsed, it doesn't work.

Aren't you like, 14, Oh wait it's been like 3 years since we've been on Fuwa so you're more like 18ish Too old for midlife crisis mang! But Make sure to take care of the ol' health first, das most important School idk how it works and the necessities of college in other places but in 'Murica you always want that door open, so don't just outright bomb it, esp. at 18, and ESP not because of emotionals sappiness or no motivational laziness BS. Cuz when you're 25 you'll look back and be super ashamed and embarrassed at how you could've just sucked it up, manned up, and done it ez pz but nope you were boo-hoo qq life sucks and that'll cost you big time Friends are interesting, my facebook was loaded daily with 100+ pictures spams of all the good fun times for a year or two during colleges partyyy!@# alcoholll!@#!@ PUBGG!!! making it look like i was da super outgoing popularz goodlyfe but at the end of the day nowadays fk it, rather stay home and maybe get together for birthdays and christmas secret santas and thats all. Hopefully you have a handful of trusted lifelong buddies by now, those are the ones that really matter, if those are the ones you got beef with currently then fix asap. if you don't then i have no idea, my besties atm were with me since mid skoo so ya that's alotta histories gl mang, el psy kangeroo, upupu, delta

I don't hold new companies to the same standards I hold MangaGamer or Sekai Project. New companies get slack. But they don't get a get-out-of-jail-free card. Some companies deserve second chances. MiKandi screwed up Libra big time, but I hope they get up, dust themselves off from this, and move on. And like you said, MangaGamer did the same thing with their first releases. Hell, so did Atlus! (Seriously, just read up on how screwed up the release of the first Persona was.) Other companies behave in ways that make them seem like parasites, pushing the market in ways that are harmful for its long-term survival, or pushing it toward long-term changes that I don't want to see. SakuraGame is just burning down everything to make a quick buck off the ashes. Without them, I'm pretty sure Steam's new ban on discussing patches would either have never happened, or it would have taken a lot longer. As for MoeNovel, well, it's interesting that you should mention them. Because, I'm sorry, but you can't just say 'putting aside your stance on all-ages titles'. It's relevant. If MoeNovel had moved on and started putting out real releases, I would be interested in supporting them. (After all, the reason IMHHW pissed me off so much is I like Pulltop; I liked Princess Waltz.) But they didn't really change their plan. Now, instead of openly announcing they're censoring releases, instead they're trying to dodge the bad PR by tricking people into not noticing it's censored. MoeNovel wants to push the VN industry towards a direction I really don't want it to go in. IMMHW sent very strong signals that was a key part of their plan. Subsequent events simply confirmed it to be true. So yes, it is true that it is because of IMHHW that MoeNovel has been able to bowdlerize more titles. I just think this is a bad thing. In that sense, not buying IMHHW was clearly the correct move, as I really do want MoeNovel to take their ball and go home. It's good to hear that you brought on more experienced translators. That's a very good sign (especially since you did it before the game came out). Too many companies release first games with questionable translations. I think other people commented on the honorific toggle thing. I might just be reiterating what someone else already said, but this is likely going to turn out to be close to translating the game twice. You can't just have the honorific appear / not appear. Very often the lines will need to be significantly rephrased, or else the honorific-free version will sound kind of robotic. It might even introduce plot holes if someone (say) changes from using -chan to using -san.

Even though I only recently had posted that one, the reality is that I had it for a long while and I decided to change my whole desktop around this time, because why not ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Finding this amazing Megumin wallpaper helped me make up my mind about it.
