Mugi

Am a good 10 hours or so into Bethly's route, and according to Trip that's not even halfway through the HS portion of her route. Keeping in mind i'm a relatively quick reader this is kind of crazy, i'm assuming it'll take me a little under 30 hours at least to finish this route alone. And it's not even the longest in the game... I'm excited

Lalter for waifu value and buster memes

GOT SUMMER CARMILLA WITH MONTHLY TICKETS AAAH Now the only one i'm missing is Okita For what it's worth, she is about as rare as a seasonal servant since she comes around about as often

Several singles later, summer Lartoria is now NP2 and I finally got cash money pingu Melt. Today was good

Did a few singles for Melt, can't pull rateup 4* to save my life but this is fine too

Perfectly fine MC. I like him about as much as I like Ryou from HoshiOri, and way better than Yuuma from Hatsukoi. Going to have to actually play through at least one route before any feelings are set in stone, but he's got the potential to be the best protag TW has churned out.

Just started playing Gin'iro, Haruka. Enjoying it quite a bit so far, hoping it turns out to be as good as HoshiOri and can't wait for the first route in a couple weeks. Will probably reread something in the meantime after finishing this common route.

Did some singles to try and get Carmilla, ended up joining the NP2 Musashi club instead

90 SQ, 17 tickets, one summer Osaka, and an Enkidu later

Maintenance has begun. Have 17 tickets, 300 quartz, and a dream. Though I think i'll just do tickets for part 1, ended up blowing all my funds on part 1 last year and missed out on B.B and Medb

I decided to throw a ticket at her since I didn't have an SSR rider yet

I'm glad you can understand the greatness that is Shuten Now you just have to wait for the Halloween event that gives her as a welfare servant

Talking less about VN Kickstarters and more about Kickstarters for games in general.

Another kickstarter inevitably bites the dust. Shame, I wanted to try this out pretty badly

The perfect attitude to have when seeking help

Surprised I haven't seen anyone here post about the DGS translation project, but just in case anyone is interested I wanted to let you all know. Scarlet Study has been translating the game for a while now, and after not having any releases for around 10 months they finally dropped episode 3-4 the other day. And on top of that, they made the translation for the Android port of the game as well, so it's much easier to get ahold of it. Apparently the final case shouldn't take nearly as long to release, so the game should be finished soon! Anyone else happen to play this yet? Gonna be picking up the game in a few days on no life-ing it for a week or so.

Abby is nice, but is kinda outclassed by Hokusai. That third skill is just so OP, so much defense reduction.

Coconut is the only choice

So I started the game last night and finished the prologue, and wanted to do all the other routes before Ai's. Was going to follow the walkthrough but I have already entered Ai's route before the walkthrough is even supposed to start? Reloaded the save to pick a different option and it put me on Sae's afterstory. I'm pretty confused, is the walkthrough incorrect or am I missing something? Do I have to go down Ai's route to start the other two? Edit: Figured it out. There are a couple choices before the date where the walkthrough starts that determine which route you go down.

There's just so much to choose from, so i'd love some recommendations. I have a few things i'm looking for Romance - which is going to be in most games so that shouldn't be an issue Length - at least 30-50 hours, the longer the better Routes - would like to have a few, never been a huge fan of linear stuff No BL/otome - just not my thing No nukige - not what i'm looking for at the moment No utsuge - drama is fine, some darker tones are also fine (ex. Grisaia, G-senjou) but i'm not really looking to throw myself into despair That's about it, any recommendations are welcome!

It's a christmas miracle

I heard the Yoake patch was super outdated and far from the final product. Not sure if it's worth reading like that, though it does look like a fun time

I do want to mention that i'm not specifically looking for something like DI. In fact, something different would probably be preferred so I don't get burnt out on the genre.

Thanks for some recommendations, though I've read most of what you listed. Rarely update my VNDB so I guess I should either remove it or put the time in to update it

Finally broke down and finished it, and now i'm ready for a VN binge. The best thing would be something I haven't heard of yet, and I haven't been keeping up with any TL's for the past couple years or so, so I may have missed quite a few things. In terms of what else i'm looking for, no utsuge. It can get sad or depressing at times, but i'd prefer a happy ending if possible . Also a conclusive ending, some of these DI routes have left me craving something with endings that feel complete, having an epilogue expanding on said ending (or a fandisk that's also translated) would be even better. The longer the better, preferably one that's 30-50 hours or so. Going to be scrolling through VNDB in the meantime
