(´・ω・`) Hi guys, Whats up, my names Hata-tan short (Hata) and I play visual novels since 2011. I have not amassed a huge number of titles yet (still < 60) and I'm very interested in Denpa- Moe and Story-driven Action Novels. Also I like chuunige for the amount of fancy and nowhere-else-to-be-seen vocabulary. I'm 22 and live in germany. I'm a student of japanese language and economics in Frankfurt. My hobbies are playing games, writing reviews, reading japanese literature, calligraphy and other stuff. I have the dream to bring visual novels to more people in the west, especially in germany so I've made my own site, but also frequent lots of international communities so I got told to sign up here too. I debuted my fuwanovel-history with a review of Fatal Twelve. Go take a look at it if you like, i like to ramble a lot, so you might want to get used to that. My favourite character is Hata-tan/Hatate Himekaidou from Touhou~ Social Media: https://twitter.com/ShinsekaiNoHata https://twitter.com/BishoujoNEWS Discord: https://discord.gg/gtNRnbe vndb: https://vndb.org/u147252

And people say that eroge protagonists don't exist irl.

The "this should be a blog post" feedback is an allusion to the blog feature of Fuwanovel. It's a nice way to collect together your high-content posts in one place. If you feel the topic is of general interest and want to encourage ongoing discussion, you can then create a discussion thread and link to the blog post. It helps to have a summary line to grab readers' interest so they'll read the full article.

Saku Saku: Love Blooms with the Cherry Blossoms Fully Translated Summary Spring is the flowering season, the season of the cherry blossoms. It is the time for first meetings and partings, when the buds start sprouting. Yuma is a second-year student at Mihaya Academy who listens to love problems from girls at the school and gives them thoughtful advice. This has made him quite popular and loved, resulting in a 21,000 yen (taxes included) ‘love bounty’ placed on him. The girls came to him with problems ranging from jealousy to infidelity. Having heard about so many troubles related to love, Yuma lost any desire he had for it. One day, a mysterious girl appeared before him. She had never been in love, but she believed that it was a wonderful thing. She asked him if he would like to be in love, and that as a love fairy, she will help his love come true. A girl who cannot fall in love. A boy who has no interest in love. If they end up falling in love with each other, how will the world change? Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order There are 5 routes. Mio (childhood friend), Konami (blood-related sister), Yuri (Easily embarrassed Disciplinary committee chairman), Ann (Student Council Prez/Senpai) and Tina (Shinigami). Tina's route only unlocks after Ann's route. Walkthrough You probably won't even need this Walkthrough, since the choices are so straightforward. Nevertheless, here you have it. If you find you are missing certain choices, they may be choices tied to the adult content. If your version of the game does not include these, do not worry. Should you be missing any CGs, consider selecting both choices during the adult sections. Konami Route Mio Route Ann Route Yuri Route Tina Route How Flags Work and Other Useless Notes Attribution This walkthrough is based on info attained by playing the game over 20 times, trying pretty much all relevant combinations of choices. Summary stolen from Hau Omochikaeri (according to VNDB) Thanks to CalneCA for telling me how Tina's route works! [Current Tasks: -Make sure the choices remain accurate after official release. -Make sure there are no further choices during the H-Scenes]

I doubt you'll be disappointed. The anime does have a fun/affable cast of characters and the comedy is good. I'm especially fond of Anzu, she's great.

I've found it to be really good. A comedy with a large cast and plot progression!

Sisterly Bliss has a cool choice system based on the heroine's feelings, that isn't overly complex. It's one of my favorite choice systems, actually. So yeah, look forward to that!

Good point. However I will hesitate a bit in calling Musumaker a raising sim. I view raising sims as something different than VNs and they tend to be hybrid games. When mentioning a hybrid game, people tend to think of something like Sengoku Rance where the VN parts exist, but it wouldn't be a great VN without the other parts. Musumaker is different than that. It is by far primarily a VN. You need to go through 3k lines before even reach anything, which isn't pure VN and it takes almost another 1k lines before it has unlocked all the raising sim features. Cutting non-VN contents would result in a VN, which works as a VN. In fact it would still be a good VN. This is despite the fact that the VN and non-VN elements work well together. In other words I feel that calling Musumaker a raising sim is the same as claiming worse VN quality than it really is. Because of this, I don't think Musumaker as a raising sim, more like a VN, which happens to have some raising sim elements.

And you thought those porn plots were fake?

Couldn't find anything with various combinations of these tags on VNDB: Violet Hair, Violet Eyes, Subject of Death, Subject of Homicide, Clothes Suit

This one maybe? Your best bet might be searching for the same company or artist.

Game is good. Better than 2 but I haven't really played much of it. Its the Undertale effect. Game is good, fanbase ruins it by being insufferable much like me.

Deja vu I've just been in this place before Higher on the street And I know it's my time to go Calling you, and the search is a mystery Standing on my feet It's so hard when I try to be me, woah Go on then, degenerates. I challenge all of you to do you worst!

Looked at the future event release in the wikia and apparently, the next event in the NA server rewards you with a Sakata Kintoki(Rider). Now I feel so stupid for wasting my 3M DL ticket on Marie (should have went for Emiya or Elizabeth).

The tags are not giving you an accurate picture. While there is certainly dark content, there is specifically no "girls raped by zombies" content, for one thing. The game is certainly very H-heavy, and I won't really try to defend it on that front; it is what it is. But at the same time, the game takes itself very seriously as a zombie survival story, and that's what I ended up finding interesting about it (in between editing pages and pages of H). I will say, I've recently realized that every single time I've tried to figure out whether I'll like a VN based on people's descriptions, I've found the experience of actually playing the game to be utterly different from my expectations, to the point that I almost think it isn't worth seeing what people are saying about a game, beyond the basics of who liked it and who didn't. It's also entirely possible that I just don't know my own preferences very well, or that they're always evolving, though. Not really sure where I'm going with this, except maybe "don't judge a book by its cover"? And that probably goes double for me saying positive things about it, heh, since I obviously have a vested interest in it!

I'm sorry, but we haven't yet reached a golden age of VNs. Everything currently released is bad. No exceptions. Visual Novels are far too young a medium to have reached the maturity required to produce something of actual quality. What we have now can be likened to amateurish cave paintings: probably impressive in their time, but ultimately of little consequence. Wait a hundred years or so and you might see the first good Visual Novel made; until then, we're stuck with garbage. Entertaining garbage, but garbage nonetheless.

Not exactly on topic, but if I've learnt something about "golden ages", be in literature, cinematography, videogames, even life itself ffs... is that people tend to idealize the past and consider the current state to be on decline. Most often that not it's just a biased perception. Not to say that it's not possible to talk of some golden age in some way, but experience tells me to not pay much heed to those doomsayers that babble about how brilliant the past was and how bleak a future awaits us.
