    It is as bad as I said it was in my post in the untranslated vn thread... and yes, everyone who liked it should be ashamed of himself. It is really that bad.

    yes i do indeed mean romeo, a former man of great, now corrupted by the likes of takahiro and having his name/fame abused as a means of drawing naive fellows in. truly an evil scheme. would´ve probably ended up laughing if it werent for its ridiculous shortness, yet somehow inappropriate pricing. honestly stick with the anime.

    Description
    In the middle of the mountains stands an isolated, rural hot springs inn.
    There works the beautiful waitress, Haru Inamori.
    Souta Kamijou, the lover of Haru, secretly pays a visit to the inn in order to surprise her…
    When the idiot couple of adults interlock, a steaming hot night of love ensues…

    Legend
    After BiMan -1-, I wanted to something from the same series as well, and came to this conclusion, as my first full-on Japanese translation. That’s all there really is to this, hope you’ll enjoy it when it finishes.

    I'll leave praising and insulting Sharin no Kuni to everyone else here... I only felt the need to mention Tsukihime because people tend to overlook it, despite the fact that it is still some of the best fantasy narrative out there (even if the visuals are as dated as 1980's anime), and I only mentioned Aselia because I was fairly sure it would be left behind due to the somewhat needlessly high difficulty of the battle system.  Normally, I don't bother mentioning anything that's been translated, hahaha

    XReaper got a reaction from Onodera Punpun in Is MYTH worth it?   
    to me it´s been definitively worth reading the jp version, despite all the clumsy prose and partly childlike wording. think it´s almost the same as in hapymaher´s case, where an english localisation of its may improve the overall experience, if skillfully done. overall saying myth´s plot has a somewhat unique and creative touch to it, without falling prey to common tropes and such + also consists of quite the likeable cast/intriguing setting. cant see mangagamer setting up an unreasonable high pricing there, so i´d say go for it upon release, and be it only for them to hopefully start working on other more recent titles of theirs, such as w-standart wonderland, which has been a pretty enjoyable read as well (the authors did improve in terms of writing)

    XReaper reacted to Fred the Barber in Majo Koi Nikki Translation Project   
    @Sanzy_Bones and the frog had a little friendly competition this week, especially over the last ~4 days, resulting in quite a lot of steady translation progress. Editing and TLC couldn't withstand firepower of that magnitude, though both of them made good progress as well. We're also onboarding another translator and another TLC this week, and hoping for them to read current stuff and get started on new stuff within the next week or two.
    At a high level, three whole sections of the game are entirely translated at this point, and three more are extremely close. That still leaves seven sections to be finished, some long, some short, some with progress already, some without. As always, a full breakdown of the gory details is available here, and it will be moving to a much prettier website as soon as I get the ability to update said prettier website: https://lunatranslationstestsite.wordpress.com/projects-2/projects/progress/.

    XReaper got a reaction from SaintOfVoid in Info on Natsu no Kusari (Clockup)   
    rather unlikely, since the staff of theirs views it as nothing but an arkward nukige, btw partly trashtalked the title itself.

    edit: guess people who are reading natsu no kusari only for the porn are equivalent to those going for kawarazaki-ke2´s netorare. rip world, where have we gone wrong....

    edit2: them picking up natsu no kusari would require having some balls since it´s a more realistic take on the matter, which i cant see happening as things stand for now - call me a pessimistic piece of crap, i know i know... but in a way it´s abit comparable to yabai!, a title i can´t see them doing either. potential social outcries are more easy to handle/avoid when sticking to fantasy, or settings that are strongly giving off a fictional vibe than their opposites, regrettably so. doesnt help that some readers seemingly can´t comprehend such matter, or refuse doing so by default.

    "Unlike Euphoria, there really isn't a grand plot here, it's just a rape game. Albeit a high quality rape game, but still a rape game."
    You didnt just say it was a rape game you said there wasnt a grand plot either.
    Here is part of the conversation I had with Tyr

    SPOILERS
    I included my points of why I didn't enjoy it so much (also because you need some context to understand why the conversation headed that way) which is also something that some people might confuse with what the plot is really about thus not giving the novel a proper chance to begin with, at a first glance it does look like a rape game and nothing more. 
    The important stuff is what he writes, I wont cut anything out because I think this is probably one of the most in-depth "reviews" out there, he grasped some concepts that I missed the first time or I wasnt very sure about them.

    You are wrong...very wrong, yes there is a lot of sick shit going on in this vn(rape, torture, etc) but it's not just a "rape game" there is much more than that, specially with the plot, @Tyrosyn probably can explain it much better than I do (maybe if he doesn't feel like writing a whole lot I can just copy his explanation, I will ask him)

    Yes.
    Hi no Tori, Budda, Black Jack, Ayako, Metropolis among other things (I'm just listing things off the top of my head here) are pretty much timeless classics now. I have no idea what you like and what you have already read so I can't tell you that you're gonna like them but they're not cornerstones of the history of manga for no reason.

    ayo it´s not like i´m against yuri by default, as there have been works i´ve enjoyed, but them all artificially hyping up the genre, making it seem like each and every work is a masterpiece thats stand way above others, is what sullies my mood. feels like somehow getting re-educated/brainwashed by the industry itself into non liking different types of stuff anymore.

    edit. granted, those are still semi-paranoidal future shenanigans, but i cant help but being reminded at the time when moe first started emerging the oceans of evilness.

    I have yet to come across a translated visual novel I'd regard as a 'kamige', even with the budgets Japanese studios have behind them. The games don't translate well because Western and Japanese value different things in their stories, and there's always problems with storytelling or whatnot. Even disregarding F/SN obviously questionable translation, you have storytelling issues like massive bloat which detracts from the plot and causes pacing issues. The most talked about cases being the horribly inserted sex scenes.
    In fact I wish people would drop the term, it just creates unrealistic expectations in the community that can never be met.
