Visual Novel Translation Status (31/12/2023) Welcome to my last VNTS Review for 2023, and for the title since we'll going to have Sakura Succubus 8 release in January 15th later along with Goblin on the March release, I'd just combined both title so we have 'Sakura Goblin'. As for the last week of 2023, to be frank once again it's another plain one, although on the other hand there's some updates from Shiravune with JAST released something. Other than that, there's some updates in regard of Purple Software VNs, which to say are bigger than the release. Let's see what I can write in regard of it. Looks like Nekonyan has some problem with Aoi Tori, especially with the Purple Software mention they'll took away the license if the release is not happening in April 2024, which to say is quite hairy situation for Nekonyan. So obviously Nekonyan has no choice except to cancel their plan to port the VN into Unity and use its original engine, which to say has quite a handful license cost (At least I can be sure there'll be no critic regarding removed feature like in Kunado Kokuki). That said, actually they already has some progress on working in the original engine with the QA work theoretically can be started right now, so maybe April release at the latest may be plausible if all goes well. Speaking of Purple Software, Shiravune announced part 2 of Criminal Border as expected (The link to the Steam store), and they'll release it in Q1 of 2024 (ie March 31st at the latest). Turned out 2023 release for Koichoco is not happening, so obviously the release will happen sometimes in the future. Speaking of release, JAST did release Goblin on the March with the premise the MC is reincarnated as the goblin in the different world, and then he'll do his best to increase his kin by impregnating as much female as possible (Up to five heroines). While admittedly it has good looking graphic and gameplay, I'll just pass on this. Still, have fun if you're already playing it. Forgot to mention we'll going to have Konosuba VN release in 2024 later, although PQube not announced the exact date yet. Shinzou Translation has working on another short VN, Nagi no Koi, with the permission from the developer. From what I can see in Japanese website, it has two male MC with each MC has relationship with each two heroines and has samurai setting. Other than that, they planned the release sometimes in 2024 and they already has some progress, with it currently has the script at 16% translated along with the assets has been 10% worked on (No idea if it mean the UI or picture when it come to assets). Last but not the least, we have Tsui no Sora Remake was fully translated and edited with the translator is moving on doing the QC work before finally release it, which according to the translator 'hopefully only take a couple months'. That's all for my last VNTS Review in 2023, and see you next year.

Here's my very late comment in regard of Getchu 2022 here. Looks like Qruppo did work harder in Hentai Prison so much it has better reception compared to Nukitashi with both are already well received. The setting for the VN is quite ironic, with the MC was imprisoned for being pervert, which obviously contrasting Nukitashi. As for whether we can see this in English, with how successful Nukitashi on Steam is and we'll going to have Nukitashi 2 available in English in the near future, we may have Shiravune localize this sometimes after Nukitashi 2 release. Let's just say that I want Nekonyan to announce Ambitious Mission, although too bad that reality says otherwise because they need to deal with Floral Flowlove engine port and Kakenuke translation progress, so we may still need to wait until they decided to announce it. Ambitious Mission is about the VN with phantom thief heroine, and it has same writer as Kirikoi so of course it has several reference to Kirikoi. Jewelry Heart seems to be interesting VN, especially with the publisher so far only has Amairo Chocolata (ie Nekopara like VN) as their translated VNs. Shiravune is about to localize Amazing Grace from the same company, although it was stuck in slow review processing by Valve so they have no choice but delay the release up to June 30th later. Anyway, it should be obvious Shiravune has better chance to localize Jewelry Heart compared to Sekai. sprite still forgot to add Music Mode in original EXTRA 2, so Nekonyan still need to use their own engine for English version to have Music Mode. That aside, it's definitely one of well received VN in 2022 even as fandisc, and good to see that Nekonyan manage to get this released back in 2022. Content wise, while as expected it's Misaki after story, it also has some Flying Circus scenes so it should be worth to read if one want to see more Flying Circus. I lamented on how Marmalade keep delaying Study Steady 2, although looking on propeller keep delaying their newest VN for two years suddenly Marmalade delay become reasonable, moreso with them manage to fix the engine problem that plagued first Study Steady. That said, I can only say it's more or less like the first game, I hope that Shiravune localize this, and the summer uniform of the school is very sexy lol. Apparently ASa Project want to make the VN with the MC forced to go through two-timing, and thankfully they didn't go School Days for the story and the setting. I just hope that someday Nekonyan license this, although we may need to wait for a while for that to be happen. Looks like Milk Factory know how to write comedy in their big breast VN so at least their VN is always well received, although I still skip it anyway. For Oppai Maid here, with Frontwing localize the first two Milk Factory VNs easy to say they'll probably localize this as well (At least it's better to have Frontwing localize Milk Factory nukige instead of keep struggling with Sharin). Turned out Same Nanokakan has some interesting horror story, which is quite unusual for the company. Then again, some of Cube VN have serious story, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised here. The VN itself is about the MC who live with the girl who claimed to be shark for a week, and along the way the MC will find out much more buried truth beneath the island where he live. Tsui no Stella has unique release history, in which the fans did release it first in July 2023 before Visual Arts release the official version in October 2023, so the fans has two translation to chose. Anyway, it's about the MC Jude who tasked to deliver Philia to a certain place, and from there both will learn about each other while forming the bond as the family (ie father and daughter relationship). Criminal Border is about the loser MC who dragged down into danger because his erotic AMV that can arouse anyone with his childhood friend want to sell it in the underworld. It's been working on by writer and director of Nine series, so in a way it's normal to expect the story development like Nine even though it take time to get used to the arts. Oh yes, it's available in English thanks to Shiravune, which make Purple Software work with four publishers to bring their VNs into English. Currently, we already have first part available in English and Shiravune just announce the second part, while Purple Software themselves just released the third part. That's all for my belated comment on Getchu Awards 2022.

I guess it has to do being the years end, so obviously the VN developer do their best to deliver the product on Christmas. Anyway, let me try to comment on the title here. One Remake - It's more or less redundant to me because the script is mainly the same as old version, and the old version has the sex scenes in case someone somehow desperate for it. That said, this technically has quite high production value with newer anime VAs and newer art, so someone may pick the remake if the old version graphic is too old school (Both version are available in English anyway). Forgot to mention the remake still has too much choice, but from what I'd read somewhere at least the staffs alleviate the problem by adding the hint. Eiyuutan Gaiden - Honestly BaseSon has been released too much Koihime Musou so much I'd become tuned out of it, but at least good for them they still have enough capital to keep milking the franchise by making the spin off again and again. Also good for the fans they can still get new Koihime Musou game, although I can only wonder when we'll going to have full translation patch for Shin Koihime Musou finally released. Amase-Jima - I see the company is another branch of Visual Arts, and I can say the art is looking good. Although in the end, looks like it's just usual moege with something more beneath it and good production value. Yuzuriha no Uta - If 2022 has Study Steady 2 as the most delayed release, then in 2023 we have Yuzuriha no Uta as the most delayed release, in which it reached up to more than two years. While the delay is supposed understandable seeing this is the first time propeller developed new VN after Sougeki no Jaeger in 2014, I'm not really sure if it can repeat propeller's old success, especially seeing all of the heroines have big breast. At least the MC seems to be an adult one, unlike Sougeki no Jaeger MC. Imouto to Kanojo - While the title seemingly simple with the game is looks like to be nukige with it's lengthy sex scenes, turned out there's much more emotion inside the game, especially with NTR moment. That said, the main story is not really the NTR or the incest, but rather the relationship between three main characters, namely the MC with psychological problem, his little sister, and the hostess who resemble MC's little sister. Safe to say, the relationship and feeling between those three are quite complex. By the way, it's quite ironic that I find the design for nukige like VN is more reasonable compared to Yuzuriha no Uta (ie has more reasonable breast size). For VN of the month, well out of all VNs only Imouto to Kanojo that can be qualified if we count the new VN (One Remake is more or less redundant while Eiyuutan Gaiden is another spin off), although I understand that VN is not for everyone. That's all for what I can comment in regard of December 2023 release.

Kemono Friend - The anime staffs working very hard on this with very limited staffs (10 staffs) and deadline (Only 500 days) on top the marketed gacha game is already shut down, so normally no one expect this to be successful, especially with the staffs resorted to bad 3D animation to allocate the budget. Little did everyone know back then the director prove himself to be able to write interesting story even with very limited resources, and as the result it become quite successful. So much that it invite some people who want to milk it as much as possible by making second season, with the higher up firing the hard worker director for vague reasons (Involving copyright stuffs) and search for the new one. Needless to say, fans were very angry and review bombing of the second season so there's no chance for the third season. Suka Suka - It has the MC being teacher figure to the younger human weapon, and the setting is very bleak with the scary Beast roaming around. It should be noted that it has the fame as the most tragic light novel, especially with the way it tell us that not every overpowered MC can solve the world problem when said problem is very bleak. Oh yes, it also introduce the folk song Scarborough Fair to the Japanese anime audience, although I don't really know on if the song is already known in Japan before Suka Suka or not. Eromanga-sensei - I did a bit research, and I find out that most people are very angry because it has incest despite the author already make the premise that both sibling are actually step siblings, as in different birth parents. To be honest I think the hate is overblown, although I can't exactly fault the people for have the problem with incest in the anime because several good reasons. That said, I still find anyone who keep inserting anti-incest opinion into TV Trope is very annoying. My ramble aside, it's from the same author as Oreimo, except turned out that the relationship is still limited to be family like even though both sibling like each other, so at least there shouldn't be any sibling romance to worry about yet. Boruto - While it didn't have incest to be controversial, this anime easily gather controversy simply because it made as the way to keep milking Naruto which should already ended. Also compared to the father who has losing his parents and shunned by the villager, having the son of previous MC who is the prodigy with daddy issue because his father has been too busy is definitely not make good first impression, even though it make sense for the character himself. While admittedly the story is starting to getting better slowly, obviously it's never reach what Naruto achieved, which is really something that it need the original author come back and then wrote the questionable plot twist at the end just to make the reception slightly better. That's all for what I can comment in regard of Spring 2017 anime.

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting, @Tired Protagonist. If you need some more VN recommendations, maybe you can try something like Summer Pockets (Same developer as Clannad and get the Reflection Blue one if you want to play all routes), Tsui no Stella (Same developer as Clannad), Rose Guns Days (From When They Cry series), and Aojashin (Has superficial similarities with Fata Morgana). For the info, all of those are all age except for Aojashin, and even then if you didn't want sex scenes you can just get the Steam version as it is. Lastly, I hope you'll have fun in here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting, @florezx2. Feel free to ask for the VN recommendations if you need it even though I will not be able to comment the VN together with you, and I hope you'll enjoy yourself in here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting, @work12. I see that you're writing visual novel as of now, so good luck with that. I hope that you'll have fun in here.

Merry belated Christmas to everyone here.

Visual Novel Translation Status (24/12/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review. For the title, because we have Animal Trail 2 release along with One Remake, I decided to make another parody of Trails game by combining 'Trails' from Animal Trail 2 along with 'Radiant Season' from translated subtitle of original One (To the Radiant Season), so we have 'Trails to Radiant Season' as the title. As for this week, honestly to be blunt it's quite plain, especially compared to the last weeks. That said, with several companies have some announcements in the last week, perhaps they took some times to rest. Anyway, let's see what I can write in this Christmas week. Unlike few last weeks when Shiravune has more than one updates, this time they only has exactly one update, namely One Remake release. Admittedly it has upgraded graphic that's up to par with newer VN along with new VAs and nice opening song, so at the first glance it's worth to pick up. That said, like YU-NO story wise it's the same, so obviously the story may not up to what we consume nowadays, especially if we compared it to modern KEY VN (I mention KEY because One is the predecessor of Kanon with Kanon itself is the very successful KEY VN). If anything else, the artist (Itaru Hinoue) drawing is far better compared to when she drew Koropukkur. Oh yes, there's no sex scenes in there, so if you prefer the older art and somehow want to see the sex scene then obviously the remake is redundant one. For the premise, it's about Kouhei who grieve from his older sister death start visiting the Eternal World with the people around him start to forget him, and in order to escape the Eternal World Kouhei must have strong bond with someone else. Go get One Remake if you're curious about old VN by KEY main staffs and prefer the newer graphic, and have fun. Sekai did release Animal Trail 2, and at least the VN has good looking graphic. For the premise, it's about Taiga became the manager of his favorite underground idol group who secretly magical girl, and in Animal Trail 2 Taiga will get close with the remaining girls who back in the prequel are just supporting characters. Go get Animal Trails 2 if you want to see more magical girl VN. Sekai also has Sheol trial released back in yesterday, and they already edited a quarter of the full game. JAST has new release on 29th later, and said release is Goblin on the March that they've announced at AX 2023. From fan translation, we have Kusarihime is fully edited and ChuSingura is at 35.8% translated with the translator is already finished a little more than half of second route (Horiibe Yasube chapter). Lastly, we have Tsuma Netori full translation patch released, and for the VN itself it's about the female teacher Makoto who keep suffering the sexual assault in her school. Makoto tried her best to protect her family by keep silent about the assault, although it only matter of time before Makoto enjoying the sexual assault and betray her husband. Go get Tsuma Netori if you want some NTR VN, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of it, and Merry Christmas. See you next week, or maybe in the next year.

Welcome to Fuwanovel @Xesturgy, and if you want you can ask for VN recommendations in this forum. I hope that you'll have fun in here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting. I see that you're the one who making Cafe Mysteria, so good luck with the project. I hope that you'll have fun in here.

Well boobjob is actually quite common, albeit not as much as blowjob. Anyway, if you need VNs with boobjob, then I can suggest you Lupercalia, Walkure Romanze, Kunado Kokuki, and Clover Day's. I don't know if you're already playing those or not, but I hope my recommendations can be helpful to you.

Well your request is definitely quite vague, especially with no exact specific genre. That said, if you're want very general recommendation, than I can give you my list of best rated translated VNs from both 2021 and 2022 (Mahoyo and Chaos Head Noah is not eroge though). Also if you want some recently translated VNs, then I can recommend Lupercalia, Kunado Kokuki, and Clover Day's. I don't know if you already read those VNs or not, but regardless I hope my recommendations can be helpful to you. PS - There's also Eustia which still not QA-ed yet, but at least it's fully translated and edited.

Scum's Wish - I only understand there's a lot of unfaithful stuff in the anime, so it should be obvious that anime is not for everyone. KKPC - With MGPC success on combat with no much of physical fight, Toei decided to one step further by removing physical fight altogether. Unfortunately majority of Precure fans understandably not on board with it, because Precure has been known for magical girl with physical fight for years. I still remember on how KKPC indirectly break the community, and let's just say that I learnt the lesson that moderator action is not always be objective and right (Which sort of help when I see some worse mod out there). Oh yes, KKPC has food theme (Sweets) and it has GL pair with Toei decided to copy the success of Haruka x Michiru from Sailor Moon (Personally I'm not fond of the GL couple in KKPC, but to each of their own). Tanya - It's about very oppressive manager from Japanese company who was killed by his subordinate and then reincarnated as cute young girl (The titular Tanya) in the world with constant war as the punishment from God because the manager is very brave for challenging Him. Rather than realize his own mistake and then atone for his sin, the manager instead decided to just use his talent ruthlessly in the war zone anyway with the girl soon known and dreaded in the war. Also it's understandable if you remember Izetta, because both Tanya and Izetta world based on World War in the real life (Izetta from WW2 while Tana is from WW1). Chaos Child - From what I see, the anime only adapt the common route and the true route, which is understandable seeing the common route is complete enough and the true route is the continuation of it. As for how the reception of the anime goes, let's just say that it's still not quite satisfying according to MAL, moreso with the anime staffs didn't adapt the routes that add the info to the story and the setting. Masamune - It's about the fat boy (Masamune) who was rejected and insulted by his crush (Aki), so Masamune decided to work very hard to make himself become handsome and then make Aki fall in love before coldly reject her. Easy to say it's not really working well, considering Masamune find himself gradually fall in love with Aki, which to say may be for the best considering that turned out there's something more in regard of Masamune's childhood incident. That's all for what I can comment in regard of Winter 2017 anime here.

Yuzuki's patch is exactly what you say as final full patch, and if you remember Trip he always release the patch route by route with the last route patch contain all previously translated routes. So yeah, Yuzuki's patch includes all of the translated route beforehand. PS - For trivia initially the final patch would be called as Mizuha's patch, but because Trip quit the project and the new translator work on Mizuha's route first before decided to work on Yuzuki's route, the final patch is now called as Yuzuki's patch.

Visual Novel Translation Status (17/12/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have Mahoyo available on PC with the title 'Witch of the Holy Night' and Destiny Star Girlfriend release, I decided to parodied the latter by changing 'Star' into 'Witch', so we have 'Destiny Witch Girlfriend', although ironically Aoko didn't really become Soujuurou girlfriend at the end of Mahoyo (For now). That aside, there's quite a number of the updates on this week, with two interesting updates to note (Mahoyo PC release and Ever Maiden announcement). Other than that, Shiravune being active again with two releases and one new title (Albeit all of those are smaller one, and Sekai also finally has some updates with they released Gakkou no Seiiki. Overall, this week is slightly above average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. After a year since console release, Aniplex decided to try released Mahoyo on PC, which is good news seeing that not everyone else willingly buy console to just play it. The premise is still the same, with Soujuurou stumbled upon Aoko and Alice when both of them using magic, and once again Nasu did write those three characters based on Evangelion main trio. While it's too bad that apparently the initial translation has a lot of mistakes so much Aniplex announced the update to fix the mistakes, it definitely far better to just play Steam version compared to wait for the fan translation team to finally gain the will to finishing the remaining work that they didn't working on it ever since the official release announcement. Also while it has some inconvenience, at least Aniplex still know how to adjust the screen for lower PC resolution compared to Success with their 'brilliant' screen programming on Aoishiro and Akai Ito. Go get Mahoyo if you've been waiting to play it on PC, and have fun. Sekai did release Gakkou no Seiiki, and the VN is part of Seiiki trilogy with the MC has two love interests (His older sister and his classmate), so in a way Seiiki trilogy is like Uchikano trilogy although turned out Gakkou no Seiiki didn't have threesome route. Sekai also has Nie no Hakoniwa update, with them fully edited it and currently finished 20% of the QA work. Shiravune did announce new title, Kiss kara Hajimeru Egoism, and I only know that it'll be released on March 31st at the latest on top has single robot heroine. After one time delay, finally Shukusei no Girlfriend was released, and the first entry is focused on Yuuri (I hope Shiravune will announce the remaining of the trilogy). They also released My Slow Life with the Princess Knight and Her Devoted Handmaiden, and unlike Shukusei it was released without too much issue (Which mean the review process for this is goes smoothly). Cherry Kiss has new nukige release, Ara Ara Auntie Incest, and they'll release it on January 12th later. From fan translation, we have Tsuma Netori is fully edited along with the proofreading work is 80% done, 206 out of 253 script files for Kusarihime are edited, ChuSingura is at 35.05% translated, and Akagoei 3 is at 80.25% edited. Tsui no Sora Remake has both translation and editing work are almost complete (94% and 91% done respectively) with Takuji's route is fully translated, although it didn't mean that it's close to the release because the translator still want to do some remaining work (QC pass) after the editing work is done, and if anything else at least it's almost completed. Last but not the least, we have Ever Maiden will be available in English on the next year. Yes, Ever Maiden as in the newest GL VN from Liar Soft that has very unique graphic. Surprisingly, the publisher for it is not either Mangagamer or Shiravune, but instead it's Love Lab with their last big title is Sugar Sweet Temptation. I did mention that Ever Maiden is like Flowers with all girl school, and turned out there's a reason for it. While I also did mention this is the second time Liarsoft wrote GL story in all girl school like Yurirei, turned out Ever Maiden contents are more heavy compared to two ghost girls ask the MC help to establish Yuritopia, especially with the setting is the school hidden in the fog and thorns. For the premise, we have the mysterious girl Alouette who stumbled upon the isolated school Puellarium, and she need to pass a test in order for her to stay in the school with she manage to pass. Oh yes, there's no route with each girls are paired like in Yurirei, although with only three couple. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

I'm very late to make the tier for more than half a year, so let me try to make it even though there's no much interesting title compared to 2022. Good Yomegami Ixseal Yamizome Liberator Yeah I know two of those are more like nukige, but it is what it is, especially with Liberator in which I'd look forward to eventual English translation ever since I saw the announcement of it way back when Dohna Dohna is still not localized by Shiravune so there's no reason for JAST to rushed Revenger release. I also look forward to Ixseal eventual announcement, although I didn't really believe that it could be possible when I wrote the suggestion. For Yomegami, honestly the only Alcot VN that I think interesting beside Clover Day's (Which already released by Nekonyan) is Shogun-sama, but regardless good for JAST to get Yomegami and hopefully we'll see them get Shogun-sama license. Average Hana Awase Dead Days Mojika Djibril Sex Open Worlds Nekonin Spin Tsukihime Remake 1 Hana Awase may be interesting with card game and lengthy story even though it's otome VN. Both Sex Open Worlds and Nekonin Spin has good looking graphic, although the latter is definitely far below what Sekai used to announced in AX. Dead Days may have interesting writing beneath the disturbing contents, although it would be hard to recommend to anyone else. Mojika actually is like Kimikoi with the seemingly unrelated premise, but again it could be hard to recommend considering the layer of disturbing contents. Djibril is magical girl serial VN that Frontwing published, although like serial VN I prefer to wait until JAST (Or maybe Frontwing if they decided to change their mind) announce all of its parts. Tsukihime Remake is obviously interesting despite the blatant attempt of milking, although it only available for Switch and obviously redundant seeing there's fan patch (Then again, we may see eventual PC version just like Mahoyo). Take Your Time All BL announcements (Hell Academy, Paradise) sisters Shingun Goblin Shingun Goblin may have interesting premise, although I'm not particularly interested with it for now. For BL VNs that JAST worked hard to license, well I guess good to anyone who hope to see those two available in English. I only know sisters is the nukige with very good looking graphic, and at least it has 2D anime graphic. Long story short, I'll just pass all those title. That's all for my belated tier list, and hopefully we may see interesting announcements in next year AX.

In the end, the word that say 'comedy is subjective' is always proven true no matter the circumstance. Anyway, one of the arguably strong example of Comedy VN would be Ren'ai Royale which coincidentally another VN from Sankaku Ren'ai (Sukiren) developer. For Royale itself, the staff put more focus on the jokes for the four main heroines while stacking the romance element on one side heroine, resulting some of the player declare the side route is the best simply it because has romance development more than the four main heroines. While it may caught off-guard some who expect usual romance from the Royale, once again the 'comedy is subjective' is still apply because Royale humor may be not the best even if one approach the VN with comedy in mind. There's also Yuzusoft VN in which while it not really full comedy VN, it still has the element 'comedy fatigue' across all of their VNs, with the joke is usually calling the MC virgin. Granted, the staff may have their own comedy taste with them indirectly calling out the player who play Yuzusoft VNs as virgin which may be work if the player took it as self-depreciating joke instead of being offended by it, but regardless the joke can still be quite tiresome, especially if one is not fond of the that kind of comedy in the first place (Moreso if someone has brilliant idea to play all translated Yuzusoft VNs (Up to 8 if Tenshi Reboot released later) in one sitting). I guess that's all for what I can say about comedy VNs here, and by the way so far I didn't recall the comedy VN similar to Lamunation (Although there's Gintama and 100 Girlfriends if one want anime example).

Interesting to note Fall 2016 has quite a number of magical girl series here. Pop in Q - Toei 60th anniversary project with them make the movie revolving magical girl in another world, which in practice make it no much different compared to what they did every year until now (ie Precure). Apparently there's a plan to make the sequel looking from the ending, although so far there's no much info about it until now (Which may or may not because Toei decided that it's far more practical to keep making Precure anyway). Magical Girl Rising Project - Out of all magical girl, only two main casts (Koyuki and Kano) got the transformation scene. As for the series itself, well it's more like battle royale with the goal has one winner remaining, so it's natural to expect a number of battle scenes and people dying. While Madoka comparison is quite appropriate, with 16 characters and the mascot has color scheme like Monokuma, it would be appropriate to compare this with Danganronpa (Minus investigation and trial). Keijo - Honestly I'm kind of stunned when I see the manga of this, although from what I'd hear apparently they treat the sport seriously despite with the rule the player must use boob and butt to ring out enemy to the pool. Well, at least you'll definitely got the eye candy if you watch this, and of course all of the athletes here are female for obvious reasons. Flip Flappers - It's more like usual magical girl series instead of Madoka-like one. I didn't watch this yet, so I can only say that it's interesting the pair is switch their hair color whenever transformed, and the story has some plot twists. Izetta the Last Witch - The GL story between the titular last witch and the princess in the midst of not World War 2. Kuma no Miko - Late to comment on this. The series itself has the premise with the talking bear met a shrine maiden, although the series is more (in)famous thanks to the staff's creativity to make the original ending because the manga is still ongoing back then. The ending is very unpleasant so much so the author express the disappointment in the most polite way, and it definitely very different compared to the manga. Granted the staffs probably tried to give the conclusion to the series, but in the end the backlash is quite severe because of the choice. That's all for what I can write in regard of Fall 2016 anime here.

Visual Novel Translation Status (10/12/2023) Because we have both Sona-Nyl and Fate/Extra CCC released with the latter opening song title is Sakura Labyrinth, I make the parody of it by changing 'Sakura' into 'Wisteria' with Wisteria is Sona-Nyl ending song title, so we have 'Wisteria Labyrinth' as the title. As for this week, first of all it has some new releases that people has been looking forward to, so theoretically this week should be interesting. That said, I'm not exactly looking forward into Fate/Extra CCC seeing that it's one of the spin-off (Read: milking) for Fate series, and turned out Sona-Nyl has the problem as the result of the porting. Other than the releases, we have Shiravune being active on this week again even with Amazing Grace release is delayed. Overall, this week is an average one to me, and let's see what I can write about it. After waiting for seven years ever since Mangagamer announced it, finally we have them released Sona-Nyl. The reason of why it took very long time to release is because they decided to go all out by combining the PC version and console version contents while also adapted additional webnovel into the VN. Unfortunately, there's some problem with the release, because Mangagamer did port this to the other engine and we know that any VNs that has porting work tend to be buggy. Problematic release aside, in Sona-Nyl we have two women, Elysia and Lily, stumbled upon 1907 New York with it is the Ground Zero for the disaster five years ago, and then both of them tried to survive the abandoned New York which turned out is infested with monster. Forgot to mention Sona-Nyl is part of Steampunk series, which mean the setting is the alternative New York with the underground realm that has eternal purple sky. Go get Sona-Nyl if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. This week we have Shiravune announced two new title, with one of those is the original Dungeon Travelers with the same gameplay as the sequel but instead the female are based on To Heart 2 heroines that Ittaku translated. No idea if we may see Shiravune get the license for To Heart 2 in the future or not, but I know that Shiravune will release Dungeon Travelers on next Valentine (February 14th later). The second announcement is a redundant NTR VN that has been available in English since 2021 with the fan translation, although in this case actually you'll do NTR in order to save the heroine who is the victim of domestic abuse. Said VN will be available sometimes on 2024 with Shiravune use the new translation. We also have Shiravune finally announced the new exact release date for Shukusei no Girlfriend, with the new date is on 14th later. Speaking of release date, turned out SukeraSomero has the plan to release their newest GL VN, Lip Trip, simultaneously in four languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English), and said date will be on February 22nd later. In regard of Fate/Extra CCC, I only understand that it's the sequel of Fate/Extra with the gameplay is RPG instead of VN, and we have new story with the MC is basically self-insert with you can chose the gender just like in Pokemon. That, and Sakura play a big role in the game along with it's only for PSP and PSV. Well go try the game if you're being Fate franchise fan, and have fun. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have Kusarihime update with the current progress is 122 out of 253 script files are edited, ChuSingura s at 34.40% translated, Tsuma Netori is almost fully edited at 95% done, and Akagoei 3 is past three quarter (76.77%) translated. Turned out Sekai also has update for ReLord 3, and currently they're scheduling it so it may be their next release after Animal Trail 2. Last but not least, we have Nekonyan open the Steam store for Tenshi Reboot, and we also has the release month listed in there, which will be in next month (January 2024). That said, it may be just the placeholder for now, so keep in mind the release time may be change, especially with how long Valve review process can be. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Well it's been seven years since I tried the translation and looks like the patch has already deleted, so there's no way to get the patch. That said if you're want Favorite VN, in the near future Nekonyan will release Irotoridori in English so perhaps you may try that later.

Berserk 2016 - At least the story itself can make up for the infamy of the visual, which is the major disappointment for the fans. Then again if you can get past the art, I guess the 2016 Berserk is good on it's own. Mob 100 - Just want to mention that the original artist is the one who draw One Man Punch, so the MC has similar looks to Saitama. Danganronpa 3 - The epilogue of Danganronpa duology (V3 is the new continuation), and let's just say that it's quite divisive to the fans. New Game - CGDCT based on game company, although it also has serious plot about making the game. Koe no Katachi - What I can say that even the premise is quite dramatic, especially with the movie (And the manga) deal with the bullying of the deaf which is major concern in Japan, so it's quite inevitable there's some soap drama moments mixed in there, moreso in regard of the male MC who has the deep regret doing the bullying to her deaf female classmate. Kimi no Na Wa - As for why the audience like it, it would be simply because of the art thanks to Makoto Shinkai effort. That said even though usually Shinkai's work has bittersweet ending (Especially ef and eden if we count Shinkai work on the opening for those two VNs), at least this movie has relatively happy ending even after several dramatic moments. Amanchu - The first part has all female casts while the second season has additional male cast, and let's just say that the additional male cast along with the manga ending didn't bring good opinion to GL community. That aside, it has good scenery drawing, just like the previous author's work (Aria). Tales of Zetstria - I only knew that the lore of the game was expanded in Berseria (The prequel), and it has controversy with the initial heroine (Alisha) was turned out to be the only guest character (ie decoy heroine) with she was replaced after some times, which make sense the anime tried to fixed the issue by giving more spotlight to Alisha throughout the series. Fate Ilya 3 - Being Fate franchise it's inevitable that the author is required to write dark story with epic combat even though the series is just started as the magical girl parody featuring Ilya, and it really show in this season with alternative timeline stuff. Love Live Sunshine - It's about the nine student who live in countryside need to face their school is about to be closed down, and after see Muse (The name of the group from previous Love Live) manage to save the school they decided to do the same with they call themselves as Aquors. While at first people see Aquors under Muse's shadow, eventually Aquors manage to prove their own identity. It should be noted that compared to Muse, Aquours is still around with they recently have the anime about one of it's member (Yohane) in alternative world with Muse themselves was disbanded in 2016. That's all for what I can comment in regard of Summer 2016 release.

It's been a while since I post the update, although I'm very late to post it on this thread because it already available for few days. Anyway, as for the current progress Yuzuki's route has been finished it's QA work, which mean all of Ginharu has been done with QA work. It's still not done yet though, because there's remaining progress that Daybreak currently working on, namely preparing for the final build which involving fixing the remaining bugs (Line breaks and date system) before finally release Yuzuki's patch. That's all for the update, and I hope the next update is in regard of Yuzuki's patch release even though it's still up in the air because the circumstance can be change.

Visual Novel Translation Status (03/12/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for the title since we have Mamiya Mami I decided to make reference to Uchikano (Another trilogy from Moonstone) by adding 'succubus' from 'Succubus Session' (The English name of trilogy with Mamiya Mami is the first part) in Uchikano English title, so we have 'Uchikano: Living with the Succubus' as the title, which to say is still fitting to a degree seeing the MC and Mami live in the dormitory. Anyway as for this week, the interesting news are come from Shiravune with the most , release is Mamiya Mami. Other than that, there's also some updates from Daybreak and also Kiminozo Remake release plan. Overall, I guess this week is a an average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Cherry Kiss did release their nukige, and for the premise it's about the MC who was sent to another world with his overpowered ability is only to make magical item, which is very useless in battle for the obvious reason. Obviously not cut out for the battle, the MC decided to make full use of his ability, although rather than making very useful item for the adventurers and the people in the other world, the MC instead make sex magical toys and make full use of it (Well it's nukige after all). Go get the VN if you want more short isekai nukige, and have fun. We also have Bakarina Pirate in which it's only available on Switch, and once again there's no GL route in case you're really hoping on it because the staffs decided to make it as full otome VN. Anyway the premise is about Bakarina who is lucky to avoid bad ending go into a cruise, and unfortunately she suddenly need to face new storyline that may give her the dreaded bad ending, so she decided to do her best to navigate the story while unknowingly attracted the new heroes at it. Go get Bakarina Pirate if you want more of her and have Switch, and have fun. There's a fan who decided to translate a nukige called Oku-sama wa Moto Yariman 2022, although I didn't interested with it so I'll pass (Congratulation on the release though). We also have Tsuma Netori is at 85% edited and ChuSigura is at 33.88% translated. For Daybreak Translation, the most obvious update is obvious Akagoei 3 regular updates, in which currently it's at 72.63% translated. We also finally had Akagoei 2 progress resuming, with the current progress is at 60.92% in QA. Lastly, we have Ginharu update in which currently has Yuzuki's route finished its QA work, so currently the team preparing the final build while resolving the remaining problem (Date system bugs and linebreak problem) before finally manage to finally release Yuzuki's patch. Unfortunately Amazing Grace release was delayed for some reason, which if we knew on how Usonatsu face the delay related to Steam it may be the same case. As for the new estimation release, it'll be in Q2 of 2024 (Between April to June later) although it's more likely a placeholder so we may see the release before June 30th. Speaking of release estimation, Shiravune just announce they'll release Nukitashi 2 in Q1 of 2024 (Between January to March), and they already open the Steam store for it. After several delay, we finally have the first part of Succubus Session Mamiya Mami release. I did mention that it's similar to Uchikano trilogy, although Succubus Session trilogy is like serial VN instead of alternative continuity like in Uchikano. For the whole trilogy, it's about the unlucky MC who has been picked to become the single male in order to allow succubus give birth, so naturally there'll be many sex, which in the first part will be with Mami. Shiravune also accidentally leaked they'll localize the second part, so we may have them reveal it in the future. Go get Mamiya Mami if you want succubus nukige with good looking graphic, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Little Princess Go premise looks like Amagi Brilliant Park, Amairo Chocolata 3 is shorter than Amairo Chocolata 2, and Geminism apparently has interesting narration that beneath the disturbing element (I only care that turned out it didn't have English simultaneous release). So yeah, the only choice for VN of the Month in November 2023 is Hirahira Hihiru, which is very underrated even though it has simultaneous release, and to be frank I pay attention to more known Lupercalia full translation patch when it was released. That's all for my comment in regard of November 2023 release here.
