Welcome to our TLC @Botja and 2nd editor @DemonSabre. Good work team xD.

think that one in particular is one of the very worst examples of thrilling and believable netorare. heck i even felt relieved when this most annoying piece of a wimp got his chicks screwed by others, btw. i couldnt care less. oyako rankan is pretty much on a same non-existing emotional level as dasaku & its fd, totally not possible to emphatize with anyone there, except for some of the formers heroines, maybee. not wanting to sound like an ass here, but the way it´s presented in a distant manner somehow reminds me at those short 2-3line-ish news about indian women got gangraped and killed, like you read it, you comprehend it, you forget it shortly after. always been under the impression netorare/netori is meant to hurt/feel great on an emotional level whilst reading, because you (reader) selfinsert into the protag aka the more believable and sympatic/asshole-ish he is to you, the better.

this is the personal opinion of a dude who even faps to mecha, so take his words with a grain of salt.

edit: good ones for example are the original "maro" from elf, some stuff by lune bitters, anim mm, or lilim. heck even "tsuma shibori" & "i can" had its moments, but the very vast majority of said genre is simply put uninspired trash which follows no logic and has no value to it, literary dick-cheese so to speak (apologizes for badmouthing dick-cheese)

As the title suggests, after what feels like an era of ruthless opression through the modern and cute, studio Gainax in comradeship with the korean publisher CFK finally decided on maning up against todays filth, bringing over the horrendously adorable "Princess Maker 2 Refine" for a mere sum of 19,99$, even willing to offer a 20 percentual discount to the fast and utmost longing. Rejoice!

Finally got a long weekend off and Dead End Junction just happened to conveniently release at the same time for me to read it.
It's was pretty good. The setting is cool take on Wild West with some fantasy elements and story is very classic "journey of a hero". Naive girl with big dreams and some unsettled business with his missing dad traveling through the wild, meeting new friends, getting tangled up with fate and learning the ways of the world. Simple and traditional maybe, but well executed. The episode format works pretty well as well, each have their own theme and all being pretty consistent in quality. 3rd is probably the best of the bunch and the finale being quite different from the rest.
Colorful cast is one of the strong points of the DEJ. The protagonist Josette is not only very talkative, but also somewhat klutzy and simple; a rather endearing a hilarious combination. Other characters like the smart and sharp Inaho are great counterparts to her, the constant bickering and banter between the characters is joy to read. If there's some kind of Wild West stereotype you happen to like, I'm almost certain you'll find an interesting Japanese take on it.
Big part the charm is also thanks to the fantastic localization. I could almost claim that the English version is better, since the characters speak in Wild West accent and use sayings common to that period. But I haven't (yet) read it in Japanese so I won't, but nonetheless, the translation is great.  
So yeah, Dead End Junction is pretty cool and well worth the few bucks it's going for. The presentation is real nice and the story is solid good that leaves you of with a pleasant feeling. 

I'm sure MG is feeling pretty good about their decision to dump these guys right about now.

The decision point in the OP doesn't make much sense, but I take it this in an attempt by Winged Cloud to gain more Patreon subscribers?  So the game is probably distributed for free with nag messages to subscribe for extra content (probably H-scenes)?
I'm not fundamentally opposed to this model if you can assess at a glance, before you download the game, how much you'll need to pay to get the experience you expect.  In this case, if that's a straight $30, that's much more than I'd be willing to pay for a short throwaway indie title from the likes of Winged Cloud.  But as long as I don't feel "entrapped" into sinking more money than I expected, the payment model doesn't particularly bother me.  If it encourages people to pay rather than freeload and doesn't disrupt the gameplay (e.g., by offering gameplay incentives), then have at it.
Edit 1: I checked Denpasoft's store page and while the game is distributed for free, they don't even mention that there's in-app purchases.  Sasuga Sekai Project.  Way to blindside your users.  Seriously?  Looks like they're taking pointers from Nutaku!
Edit 2: And here's what comes up when I click the 'download' link on the Denpasoft store page.

 
Seriously, Sekai Project?  Seriously?  You're really letting Winged Cloud do this to you?  Are you out of your minds?

Dead End Junction has been released. Grab it either from MG's website with a 15% off discount or wait till tommorow for a Steam version.
Played the trial. Game's great, you should get it.

This is exactly what you do in business if you're only interested in money it brings.
People are fucking sheep.

It's one of the classic 'raising sims' the West never got. I'll be picking this up, for sure.

That's just ... sad I mean, I kind of expected that and even knew it from earlier info I got but it still makes me sad that fans are supporting this kind of butchering of the medium and giving bad name to OELVNs in general, and then it's no wonder people look down on it. One can only hope for the best, I guess.

A partial patch that translates the main heroine's route exists. The project is discontinued and the site hosting it is down, but thanks to this splendid thread dedicated to partial patches you can find a link to the patch here, and the h-scene restoration patch here.

If you think Fuwanovel is not giving attention to EVN devs, you are simply mistaken. Feel free to browse our reviews. 

nah i did not mean oelvns are bad, as stated in my very first sentence above, but it makes me rage that most promising, or good works i´ve read are basically buried under a mountain of trash, hard to find and possibly even to read, in case someone new to the medium itself happened to first come across a 10-15$ cashgrab, consisting of 3-4h of literary nothingness and giving off the impression all oelvns are the same ergo not wanting to try going for other works as the result. this is what gets me angry the most, because those, who spam the oelvn market with trash, partly backed by the industry itself, do actually hurt the ones who keep doing things right.

edit: and yes, the vast amount of titles available are of no good literary quality. to me galge are a form of animated books and therefore having talent as a writer should definitely be a requirement. galge are no anime, or manga (even those require some sort of talent) but basically books, so if one cant write he/she is better off changing profession.

edit2: and i did no mention japanese media being the superior one by default, because a good story is a good story regardless of being written by whom.
