Pretty late here I knew, but let me answer Fred's question here right now. Here comes my answers: It's the story here. Yes, I said story even though I knew that for this VN music should be the main aspect here. It might be sounds silly here, but actually Deardrops here was the VN the story that's focused on the music as the theme, while if I talk about musical aspect here it would be BGM and vocal songs because Deardrops here was actually tell the story of how the indie band was tried to survive the entertainment industry here. As for the other aspects, the art was just usual VN here (Serviceable) while the characters was good enough but not as developed as Kira Kira in regard of their backstory. As for the story, this VN was as expected did a good job in regard of telling the story surrounding the music here. Although I did said that it was did a good job, unfortunately one route here was didn't do enough good job here because it didn't even had some connection to the music or even the foreshadowing to Riho's route (I look at you, Rimu). Nevertheless, what done is done and I'd found that Deardrops did a good job to exploring the music theme even though I did said that it's a story of how indie band survive the industry. Well, I did already said it indirectly here. If I might said it directly, it would be Rimu's route because to tell the truth her route had little to none musical element there. Granted, her route did had all-girl band, but it was only tell that there's another band which is not enough. Besides, her route was had her leave the Deardrops causing the band was dissolve because her ridiculous reason which is that she felt in love with Shou and decided to leave Deardrops because she felt that the romance between band member was forbidden (Granted, in Riho's route there's a reason of why romance between band members was forbidden, but still). Also it was the route that the theme of music wasn't explored enough because from what I experienced even Yayoi's route was had some exploration in music, although most of it was in form of guitar reparation though. Other than that, I think it's fine enough to me. Quite hard to chose here to tell the truth, but for now I chose Kanade's producer (Gotou Ryouko) because it's quite interesting that she will did anything to make Kanade to became famous no matter what. Besides she did what she had to do out of concern for Kanade, and it's good to me (To tell the truth, I cheer for Kanade more than Deardrops in her route, although maybe it was because Kanade was deuteragonist alongside Shoichi). I'm pretty much okay with that, and besides it's not that often anyway so it's okay. If anything, I was disappointed that we didn't get autoplay at Kanade's route because I think that she and Riho was quite equal if we talk about talent. Although it might be annoying though if one replaying all routes, because you'll be forced to autoplay at least once. I think that's all for my answer now.

There'll be 6 chapter for each of heroines route so for one route it'll be 13 chapters, although if you ask for the grand total it'll be at 31 chapters. That's all for my answer.

As for my opinion, interesting event there. Anyway, for the votes I voted Symphonic Rain, Kamidori, Chrono Clock, Kanon, and Dies Irae. Some of the choice were admittely hard though to be honest. As for 'Just For Fun', obviously I chose Visual Novel for the first vote, Steins Gate for the 2nd, and Sakura Dungeon for the 4th vote (I admit that it was the best Sakura games and the story was actually quite nice imo).

To tell the truth, I didn't pay attention to the wording (Punctuation and grammar) very much here. What I meant by overwhelming is that Dies Irae was quite wordy here, and it mean that sometimes I need to think it. Other than that, didn't had problem with understanding it so far even though I wasn't native English reader here (Then again, maybe there'll be some understanding problem if one person was reading Dies Irae as his first English VN though).

As for mine, try to juggle between Dies Irae and Everlasting Summer here. Quite hard choice indeed here.

As for my experience, so far the story was once again it's cliche to be blunt (I'm still at the beginning of Chapter 3 by the way). But aside from the story, the narration was overwhelming indeed just as expected. Let's see what Dies Irae will offer later, considering that I didn't met with all of the heroines yet. By the way, I'd found it interesting that all of the villain got their zodiac and the major arcana so I would like to think that Masada was take some reference from Persona 2 and 3 here, although he might be picked it up from somewhere else though. I'll write more about that if my playthrough was entering Chapter 7. By the way I'm going with Kasumi's route from 'New Game', although you could just pick 'Kasumi Route' at the New Game though if you didn't want to bother with choice.

As for my experience so far, it's quite interesting game here especially with the mystery in regard of the Russian summer camp thing, which apparently it was Uni Soviet summer program for the teenage (Before falling obviously). For the characters, there's nothing special so far although we got Hatsune Miku (Any Vocaloid fan should knew her) and Lena (Good thing she didn't had hatchet here). As for the first route, I go with Slavya here first in order to synchronized it with the walkthrough and let's see what I could write about her route here later.

Since Tsurezure themselves didn't had much to talk here other than 10% milestone translated thing, let me to just post the update here: Common Route Part 1: 86.01% Common Route Part 2: 0.0% Ai: 0.0% Renna: 0.0% Maki: 0.0% Saeko: 0.0% Total: 11.22% That's all for this week update. PS - By the way, there's some sort of Translator Corner in regard of Tsujidou. It might be good read if some of you here curious, so enjoy.

Visual Novel Translation Status (06/03/2017) As for the title, since I did promised in regard of 'Day of Wrath' when Dies Irae release, of course I used that title as it show. Although I decided to add 'Inutilis Dea' here as well though, in which it was the latin for 'The Useless Goddess' (Another released VN here) because Dies Irae here also had some latin words for the subtitle here. Back to business here, welcome to my VNTS Review for this week and sorry for being late here. As for this week, the most obviously big release here was Dies Irae in which it was quite hyped there. Big release aside, this week progress was just usual fan translation mostly. Let's see what this week updates will offer here. This week, there's no much update that we could expect from official localization such as Sekai and Mangagamer. Although by 'no much' I mean that they had some update here of course. As for the updates, since it's only a few here I'll just round up all of the updates here. From Sekai there's Bell Chime for Gold (An otome VN apparently) which at 62% translated right now, and right now Konosora Kickstarter was gathered around 55,000 out of 75,000 for Eternal Heart localization. Other than those two, there's no update from them this week, so whatever. At one of their tweet, JAST said that right now they currently at halfway (Around 50% or so) translating Flowers, which should be Summer arc (Or Le Volume sur Ete for original title) if we look from JAST release plan. Which mean at this rate it looks like it'll be impossible if they talk about 2017 release plan, but then again it may change in the future though. Mangagamer announced that they release Dal Segno for both Steam and 18+ version at June 30th. Interestingly, Mangagamer said that they'll prepare free restoration patch for Steam version so obviously it'll allow any Steam player to play 18+ version as well (Steam version for Mangagamer VN was usually cheaper, so obviously many people would be probably buy Mangagamer VNs from Steam). By the way, apparently this is the first time Mangagamer tried something like this, so maybe there'll be more in the future (Steam VN using free 18+ patch) That's all for the roundup from official localization company here. Fan Translation This week, there's only some usual updates here so not much that I could write later. But apparently a project from this section was dropped, and it was Shibukuzu in which it was Dergonu's project. Let's just hope that someday it'll be picked up again, although apparently it was already getting another translator though. Also there's one more update from Konosora Restoration project in which there was one script left to be translated (Pabloc complained it was a sex scene though), and then all that was left is the editing (It's almost catch up with the current retranslation) and QC before finally making a patch. Good luck once again there to Konosora Restoration project. For the rest of the updates we had Eustia was at finally reaching 15% mark translated (15.15%, and Fione's arc was at 20.33% translated), 9.24% edited (Common was at 96.70% edited), and 7.64% TLC-ed (Eris's arc was at 4.5% TLC-ed). For more updates from fan translation here, we had Majokoi was at 86.6% translated and 84.66% edited, Koiken Otome fandisc was had 1,403 lines of it translated (Shiho's route was at 29% translated), Witch Garden was at a quarter translated, and Loverable was at 71.56% translated (Also was at 42.63% TLC-ed and one fifth (20.08%) edited). That's all for fan translation right now, and I'll add Tsujidou progress here later. Other For the first news here, finally Chuusotsu Kickstarter was success with the fund gathered was at 24,104. To tell the truth, I was kind of afraid that the Kickstarter was failed after seeing of how much effort that Fruitbat was put in order to bring Chuusotsu localized there, especially when it's still at around 18,000 or so with three days left back then. Well, in the end it was successful though but it's still not enough for the additional reward though (In which Fruitbat will try to raise it using Backerkit or something like that). Forgot to said this beforehand, but let me said congratulations for the successful Chuusotsu Kickstarter there to Fruitbat Factory. Once again from this section we had big release for this month, in which it's not Useless Goddess obviously (Apparently it's just another fanservicy VN from MoeNovel there). It's obviously Dies Irae oce again, in which it was quite famous as one of very good chuunige. As for the VN itself, apparently the premise was back at the aftermath of WW2 in which what apparently happened is that some of Germany did some ritual for some reason and as the result the Germany were disappeared to Japan at 2006. From there, the Germany started to cause some havoc and it's up to the protagonist to counter it. While the story might sounds quite cliche there, there's another aspect that make it famous namely that apparently the writing was quite good there compared to other VNs, and also the infamy of it for being hard to translated (According to Moogy). This VN was also established Masada as very good chuunige writer and of course bring money to light (The company behind Dies Irae), so much that they started to churn out some chuunige that was written by Masada and some of his apprentice (I mean as Cash Cow Franchise thing, although it's understandable though). Well, have fun playing Dies Irae though although it's still didn't had 18+ content though (It'll be added later at July in form of patch). That's all for this week VNTS Review, and see you next week. PS - As promised, right now we had Tsujidou first common route was at 86.01% translated (11.22% translated overall) which meant that it's possible that it'll be fully translated by next week (I meant the first part of common route). That's all for Tsujidou update here, and by the way there's still no plan of releasing partial patch for now.

Well, right now I'm about to read this. Let's see what kind of narration that was hyped here, and by the way congratulations to Light in regard of Dies Irae release.

As for the number of the route, I think it'll be one for each heroine (All girls in the cover were had routes) so there'll be five route for Dal Segno here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and I see you're from Indonesia as well there. Of course you could came anytime if you want to talk more about VN here, and good luck on your exam. Hope you had fun here. PS - Quite cute Riho's (From Koiresort) avatar there.

Happy 23rd to @Infernoplex out there (Very late I knew), and hope you had good year ahead.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and likewise hope we could had some VN Discussion (Or hearing your opinion in regard of that) later. Also hope that you'll enjoy yourself here.

I don't know if my recommendations will make you burst in tears, but let me try here. As for my recommendations, I would recommend AIR, Planetarian, Rewrite, Kana Little Sister, and Kara no Shoujo (Along with the sequel). Hope those'll be help, because I'd heard that those VNs managed to made some people cried.

Well, hope you like pizza then because it'll be featured. A lot.

That's some interesting research there, and I'd found many interesting thing there. By the way, I think 'pubic hair' thing was quite rare so it might be no need to analyze it imo (Also the fact that it's mostly appear in nukige).

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and looking forward to any reviews that you'll write later. Hope you had fun here.

Only two people according to the vote. Also to tell the truth, I want to ask if there is a vote for 'Wait and see' earlier but apparently it's no needed anymore because it's just very short delay. As for the release format, it's interesting I guess in which it was reminded me of ChuSingura 46+1 in which it was had first chapter as free content while the rest of the parts was sold as DLC (In here, common route was free and heroines route was available as DLC). Looking forward to the release here, especially in regard of the writing in which apparently people hype for it so much (I'll still keep my expectation in average though in regard of the story). PS - By the way, here's the video from Steam which contained some translation. Just look at these by yourselves to judge if the translation was good enough or not. 1st Video 2nd Video 3rd Video 4th Video By the way, the soundtrack was quite good.

Okay, I voted for underrated ones like Beat Blade Haruka and Koiresort. Also for the old one that was the best at the time of release like Princess Waltz and Snow Sakura. I was also vote for Prosecutor Path (A spin off for Ace Attorney), because the translator choice was impressed me (I mean to came up with the localized name just like the official translation, and also made original voice clip). I think that's all for now.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and by the way your avatar was quite good imo (Cute rabbit there). By the way, if you need new VN to play you could ask us and hope you have fun here.

Finished Riho's route, and let's just said that it was right that people call it as the main route of Deardrops because the focus was not only to Riho herself, but to the band as well. It's quite long as well by the way and it's definitely had the most epic moments here, although there's some down though. As for my overall impression, I think for now I favored Deardrops over Kira Kira although just slightly here. The reason was because the main route itselves, which back at Kira Kira I'd found that it was quite lacking in regard of relationship between Kirari and Shikanosuke (By the way, Kirari made a cameo here). Other than that, I think both of those two were good music VNs.

Since apparently the vote for VN Reading Club was ended in tie, I decided to play both of Chrono Clock (Or maybe I should said continuing it) and Everlasting Summer later.

Since this VN was apparently took many interest here in regard of vote, I'll try this VN later.

I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding here, and have fun in regard of Chrono Clock.
