The House in Fata Morgana is a recent favourite of mine, and I think it can offer a lot of content to talk about. There are choices, but it doesn't split into routes like most VNs do, being closer to a kinetic novel.

I think Clephas has pretty much mentioned everything that's worth mentioning. Just chiming in to say that I can personally vouch for VA-11 Hall-A and Kikokugai. VA-11 Hall-A is more of a laidback experience, putting you in the role of a bartender interacting with clientele, and it's actually surprisingly enjoyable—probably my favourite EVN so far. Kikokugai is much more story-heavy and action-packed, and it also gives you a better look at the cyberpunk world it's built around.

Fata morgana

Technically one at a time, but I do have the tendency to play one VN for a while, get bored, and switch to a different VN. If that were to count as playing two VNs at a time, then I would be playing somewhere between 11-24 VNs at the moment.

One Kitsu is AniList in disguise.

It's been a while, but I remember I really enjoyed it in the beginning due to the characters and the comedy. Story-wise, however, I felt that it got bit stale. I couldn't get very invested into the various routes and I never got much of an emotional impact out of them either. As a result, it wasn't very memorable, as I struggle to remember most of the events that transpired throughout the story. I think it is one of the few VNs―if not the only one―where I actually enjoyed the common route and the shenanigans more than actual routes or the more serious aspects. If you enjoyed most of the VNs you've read so far, I think it might still be worthwhile to pick it up. What some of us didn't like about the VN may still end up being enjoyable for you. Even if it's not among the best Key VNs, it's a Key VN nonetheless, and you can still expect a certain degree of quality out of it.

Gotta say default as well. I do like some of the other themes better, such as Fate, Tsukihime and Ever17, but the Angelic Serenade skin simply has the best contrast and colour combination. Easy on the eyes.

I've been trying to find some fun scenes from Comyu, especially those involving Kagome, but there's a severe lack of clips or screenshots out there. Does anyone have anything of the sort that's worth sharing?

Not only is incest sacred, as it keeps the bloodline pure and your children won't receive any terrible genes such as the dreaded triple-chin syndrome, but it is also an important political move that ensures the titles stay within the family. The Habsburgs are an inspiration to us all. Praise Xwedodah!

So what's going to happen if, in a very optimistic scenario, both this and izzeybee's translation actually reach completion status? Will the two be compared mercilessly until it is decided that one of them is the better translation, leaving all the effort put into the worse translation go to waste? To be fair, I doubt we would even reach this scenario, but I think the possibility is there. On one hand, it might be good to have multiple translation projects just to have higher chances for one of them to reach completion. On the other hand, perhaps it might be wiser to merge any ongoing projects, just to avoid any work going to waste? I recall that @izzeybee intends to work alone on the translation. Perhaps they'd be willing to reconsider, depending on who and how many people are willing to work on this? Edit: What's going to happen with partial translations such as this? Are we going to start from scratch over and over again? I worry that the translation is never going to go anywhere at this rate. Wouldn't it be wiser, perhaps, to continue from where others left off?

I used to have a netbook that I mainly installed visual novels on, and I often took the opportunity to relax on a couch or bed while reading. However, since my netbook hasn't been an option since 2016, I've been simply using my desktop PC instead. I do tend to read VNs a lot less often due to this, unfortunately.

Yeah, I was thinking the same, which was part of the reason why I bothered doing it in the first place. Then again, I have the feeling no one here would actually buy the game, truth be told.

Haha, I can see where you're both coming from, yeah. I'll make a mental note to leave it be next time something like this happens, but I'll leave my post there for now. Hint, hint, I wonder if the OP can at least do the tremendous effort to just copy-paste the contents from there to the original post without somehow butchering it up?

For anyone still interested in reading about this properly, even despite the OP's lack of effort to make it presentable, here's a more readable version: By the way, the guy also failed to provide any links to actually buying the game, haha.

i think waifu me no but many out makina akane special no else other but ok there solution chewy say good is you try little buster and g-semjou no naou and sharin no kuni (is all did but rest also maybe good) edit: think maybe clannad and comyu yes too for me was it edit: edit: also majikoi and ayakashibito not me really but maybe you yes

This sounds like fun! I realize that everyone should know me pretty well by now, what with my 20-something posts, but nonetheless: you may depict me, if you wish, as a giant, bearded man in victorian garments, and a rather oversized sledgehammer as my weapon of choice. The personality you might imagine from this is likely the appropriate one.

Here's his VNDB profile. Once again, you might want to fix this, @Silvz. You need to change "ID 70429" to "70429". Also, keep in mind it's not up-to-date, as he previously stated. It should give a rough idea on most of what he's read so far, though.

This update makes me really happy. My postcount increased from 15 posts to a whopping 20 posts!

Space Engine! I love exploring the stars in that game. I'll take the boring old temperate terra with life.

I'm surprised you'd go for SonoHana out of all things, considering you're looking for something more emotional. Did you perhaps confuse the "nukige" term with "nakige"? I had a look at your VNDB list (you might want to fix the link in your profile, by the way), and I have to say you've already read a good portion of the more emotional VNs I've also read. From what you haven't, though, you might find the following noteworthy: Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, Grisaia no Kajitsu (if you can get past the large doses of comedy content) and Hoshizora no Memoria. Unfortunately, none of these might be what you're looking for (although I would recommend Sharin no Kuni nonetheless), so you might want to consider replies from other users first. That aside, here are a few more VNs I've heard good things about and are currently in my wishlist: ef - a fairy tale of the two. Muv-Luv Alternative Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO Negai no Kakera to Hakugin no Agreement Fata morgana no Yakata Himawari I cannot really vouch for these since I haven't played them yet, and I only vaguely know they might get more emotional. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help, especially since you probably already heard of most of these by now, but I hope there's at least one VN to catch your interest among these.

Fate/stay night was definitely the most life-changing for me, then! It all went downhill from there.

Every answer to this kind of question is likely going to be subjective. Some of them may be the right answer of you. Some may not. The safest choice and the closest you'll get to the answer you're looking for is probably one of the various classics out there (some of which have already been mentioned before), as they are considered by most to be the best visual novels out there. Personally, I would mainly vouch for Fate/stay night, Steins;Gate or G-Senjou no Maou, somewhat in that order. Fate/stay night happened to be my first VN, one that I went through while being in just the right psychological state, and I likely would have not enjoyed it nearly as much if I read it for the first time today—hence why it is an awfully subjective answer. In the end though, you're the only one who can really answer your own question. Try out one of the most recommended VNs in this thread that you think might appeal to you the most, don't raise your expectations too high, and report back if you think you found it! Edit: Just realized you aren't exactly looking for a recommendation here, but I guess my answer still counts, haha.
