Imai Asami aka Makise Kurisu from Steins Gate. A very long number of eroge with her VA: https://vndb.org/s240 Also, she played a part in hentai OVAs: https://myanimelist.net/anime/3050/Panchira_Teacher But usually popular seyus don't involve themselves in eroge business at all. Too bad, otherwise Tokyo Babel would have become a masterpiece

Bad TL can easily ruin "the ability to craft a story, to build a world, to pace events". Also, I appeal to the statement "Ryushiki shows his skill as a writer unlike the other hacks". I need to know what so special about his writing skills. Because I'm professional writer and I don't see anything extraordinary. He's good for VN standard but that's all. I was just joking around because clearly the OP doesn't want to express the opinion but to target people who like Rewrite. And you can compare VN to books when you talk about "the ability to craft a story, to build a world, to pace events". But I agree about stupid textboxes.

Do you read Japanese? If not, then you can't really judge the writer's skill with Fun-TL. It's not EA and visual novels aren't AAA titles. You know, there're many other great VN's writers. Romeo f.e. Wait, he's done one of the Rewrite route. Oh, no... Please don't ever read any book. Because, suprise, no pictures there! LOL, that is most hilarious thing I've ever read. Much funnier than Summer Days.

It's up to person to decide what is boring or lazy. But you can't build your statement on the technical details and general impressions only. Well, you can but it doesn't make it 100% valid. The House in Fata Morgana has one of the lowest production values I've ever seen but it's considered as masterpiece. I know, it's doujin but even I can make better backgrounds in Gimp. Were the authors lazy or maybe it's because of a tight budget? You know there's a rumor, that "Grisaia no Kajitsu" was the "Final Fantasy project" for FW and basically saved them from the bankruptcy. Even if it's a lie, most of the VN's companies live in constant fear of failure. Key is no exception. Their engine is so old that Rewrite was lagging on my high-end laptop. But still the stories they create are engaging and colorfull most of the time. And the last example. I'm currently playing Dracu-riot and can confirm the lack of CG. They reuse one scene again and again and have no sprites for supporting cast at all. Does it make the game mediocre? Or less funny? Bait or not, I still believe the good game doesn't deserve such treatment. If someone has different opinion, he or she better shows us the real arguments.

By whom? For the record, it's Clannad. Actually, SoL part with occult club buisness is the most funny part of the VN. In other words you simply hate all writers except Ryushika. Yeah,I like Stephen King but I despise Richard Bahman. It's a usual story with Key's games. And most of us play VN for the plot not the sprites. Yeah, I afraid what you can say about Steins Gate with its primitive special effects... You mean oyakodon and twincest scenes? Definitely, the right way to make life festive. Bad trolling, mate. Try harder next time.

Almost every moege has one loli route nowadays. You need to be more specific other then "cute". Saya from https://vndb.org/v97 is cute but also frightening. Sion from https://vndb.org/v1286 is cute and genius. You can find loli heroines in https://vndb.org/v1474 and https://vndb.org/v8213 and https://vndb.org/v5652 and of course https://vndb.org/v6245 Are you searching for looks or loli-character's quirks? Or for something like that https://vndb.org/v8435 ? Use the term lolicon. It's safer No ones gonna judge you. Everyone here is guilty of something

Nikola Tesla is real badass character from https://vndb.org/v11033. He's practically invincible and one of the main reason I've read the VN to the very end. Though he's not the main hero of the story, he's a part of duet.

https://vndb.org/v38 maybe. It's music-themed VN with nice art. You even get to play real music as a part of the gameplay mechanic.

This. We're part of the visual novel community. We buy VNs because we like the genre. The magical "steam crowd" buys anything that is cheap or meme.

We're not their target audience. Steam's crowd is. As much as I hate to admit it, our opinion doesn't matter much. In such niche medium the company's evil deeds are pretty evident, but to influence their decision to cut or not cut the content is more difficult because of too small community power. Because they know we have no other legal choice not to buy it. If it's really good title, we will "grit our teeth and read it anyway" as our fellow member said.

This is impossible! It's a commom knowledge that the protagonist can't be smarter then the average otaku Anyway, I also suggest you Dracu-riot. It's from the Yuzusoft, the creators of Nobel Works. It's practically the same game, only a thousand times more fun. And the MC is much more tolerable.

"Cartagra" and "Kara no Shoujo - The Second Episode" both have brother/sister incest and even more. They provide dark and disturbing experience, so you need to be prepared for the gruesome staff.

Allright, got it.

I know that. I was being sarcastic. Apparently, I failed. I'm waiting for Island. So, every lowcost FrontWing's VN makes the waiting harder. And Denpa I hope.

Why not https://vndb.org/v759 ? Ah... Steam doesn't allow lolicon, but it's ok with horrible 3D. I wish, Frontwing just stop doing this.

Firstly, you need to understand why a person need to learn another language. If it is necessary for his buisness, travel or exploring the foreign culture and traditions, it is useful exercise. But to learn the language just for the game, I don't think it's incredibly reasonable move. Just how many kamiges left untranslated for us to sacrifice our minds for moonrunes? I've been learning English for nearly two decades and have no problem with books, novels or movies, but still it's hard for me to write and formulate my thoughts. That's because I have no experience with native English speakers in real life. You just can't call yourself a polyglot without spending time in another country. Secondly, it's not the matter of how someone spends their free time. The most important thing is how you treat your activity. If you learn the language just for the praise, it will lead you nowhere. All efforts will be in vain. And such person will be perceived as a hypocrite. Do not treat your lifetime so lightly. Whatever it is, everyone has a choice. And everyone is master of their time. Just think ahead before doing something.

Ar Nosuruge? It's console only and I don't have any (sigh). Analoge Story is good but it doesn't count or every western RPG with character's creating would suffice. As for VR, I don't think there is any porno game for it yet. And the price... my God. My girlfriend would kill me if I buy it just for porn Besides I like visual novels. I prefer my porn with decent story. Sometimes story is cooler then porn. Is this a hint? Because there are only three of them in English. It's new one from MG, right? I'll take a note. Thank you! Thanks everyone. I think I need to add something to make things a little bit clearly. When I was playing eroge some time ago, suddenly the idea came to me, why developers put so much efforts in girls and so little in MC. Do I need this shallow protagonist to be my alter-ego? Maybe, there's visual novel where I can be not the silent reader but also a participant. So I looked and I didn't find anything... The vast sea of VN's themes, tropes and traits has never let me down before.

So, it's I tried to start the game a dozen times and each time lost interest. Don't know why. MAybe now that I got another reason I'll finish it. There was some and yeah, not the thing I need. Thanks anyway.

You can say the name. I will figure out by myself. VNDB has tag "Breaking the Fourth Wall" and it is not considered as spoiler. Or give me some hints. F.e. developer's name. Come on

I remember now. Time for reread As I said in the OP, it's not exactly what I am searching. I often meet such passages in eroges, but never I've experienced complete breaking of the forth wall, I wonder why.

Hmm... I've played it and don't remember this. I find it strange to the genre, which includes all possible fetishes invented by human. Thank you for your help!

I know, you can use VNDB for that but what I am actually asking, are there games where characters not just say "it's eroge or something" but acknowledge the existence of readers, speak to them like they do to each other. It's ok if it's japanese, I'm use to VNR. And it would be great if it's nukige. Yeah, I can't believe myself how rotten I've become... Thank you in advance!

Don't know about the partial patch, but you can use Google TL on this one http://seiya-saiga.com/game/august/daitosho.html

Maybe, but you have to wait a couple of decades

Oh, then I have to be more specific. Majikoi is the short name for "Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai!" For now it has three games in English. Original https://vndb.org/v1143 Sequel https://vndb.org/v6245 Fan-Disc for Sequel (only A-1) https://vndb.org/v10361 If you're into erotic comedy and hate too much drama, it's the best game to start. Grisaia no Kajitsu has more depth and big emotional ups and downs. But it also funny in the beginning. You can try anything but I have to say, that there's no official english release for Majikoi. And I dought there will be ever. So you best chance is FanTL and import. Good Luck and may the Power of Eroge be with you.
