MOJITO (and a belgian beer) !

N°8 please

I am a curious man (sometimes I paid the price ) and female protagonists are not a problem for me (I venerate Estelle, heroine of Trails in the Sky 1 & 2 ). And so i read half a dozen of Otomes. One was really great (Mystic Messenger), three were very good (Amnesia: Memories, Enigma: & Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome), one wasn't perfect but has very cool elements (Collar x Malice), one has a lot of potential but was a bit too boring (Code:Realize) and one was...a major disillusion (Norn9: Var Commons) Edit : I forgot The excellent Will: A wonderful World (just like Enigma: It’s a a borderline Otome)

For VNs with romance, I prefer to choose my own true end (my waifu(s)). Definitely, with a few exceptions (G-senjou no Maou), I am often disappointed when it is imposed (Kira☆Kira, Clannad, Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road, Da Capo 3, Ayakashibito...).

Saki's route was cool For the rest of the VN, it was not bad or uninteresting...but it was not great either (apart from saki, the heroines were not very endearing or memorable). Edit : I forgot this, this and that.

To stay on a sad note, I propose Steins;Gate 0 (a good part of the game seems to be in December) OR (to return to something more joyful) maybe...Snow Sakura.

For me It's... 10 : Phoenix Wright 3 is my one and only 10. Perfection does not exist but every rating system needs a sort of "standard meter". Therefore PW3 is MY reference for enjoyement and emotion in a (hybrid) VN. Between 9 & 9.75 : Masterpiece/Unmissable (ex : G-senjou no maou) 8,5 & 8,75 : Excellent...except one or two minor flaws. (ex : Ever17) 8 & 8,25 : Excellent...if you forget one or two major flaws. (ex : Chaos;Head) 7,5 & 7,75 : Very good. One or two great ideas. (ex : Family Project) 7 & 7,25 : Enjoyable reading. Nothing outstandish though. (ex : Chrono Clock) 6,75 : Good potential. Unfortunately there are one or two fatal errors somewhere. (ex : Muv-Luv) Between 6 and 6,5 : Not bad but forgettable. (ex : Da Capo) Between 5 and 5,75 : Barely readable/considerable disappointment/Not for me (ex : Ikinari Anata ni Koishiteiru) Bellow 5 : Different degrees of mediocrity/Unreadable (ex: X-Change)

Smart, funny, badass archer, loyal : Vote for Miyako, #1 in my heart (but Wanko and Tsubame are not far).

I can read or play almost anything. Except nukiges or Extreme Gore (ex : Maggot Baits is not for me). And I'm not very interested by Girls/Boys Love only VNs If I have to choose one communiy...it would be "People who mostly read VNs that have any type of story" (EVEN Charages or Moeges)

My problem : I love controversial games/VNs (for example, I own a collection of shitty RPGs. Like Legend of Foresia or Eternal Quest). One day my curiosity will kill me

Confession : YES, I'm a Hardcore collector (same problem with the RPGs). I swear on my honor: everything was obtained (bought, most of the times) legally = Gift/Bundle Physical (Mostly EU/PAL) DMM/DLSite/Japanese Only Digital MangaGamer (Digital) Jast USA (Digital) DenpaSoft (Digital) Nutaku FAKKU NekoNyan Steam GOG Nintendo eShop (EU Only) PlayStation Store (EU Only) iOS/Android

Finished Chuusotsu. A nice suprise. The dystopian setting is solid, enthralling. And Arara is really a cool, crazy/funny, and cute character 8/10 NOT A TRUE SPOILER : Screenshots TRUE SPOILER ALERT

True Love : My very first VN A cool and old-school Date-Sim with light elements of RPG (stats). Kana imouto : When I discovered that porn games can have a solid (and depressing) story Steins;Gate : the visual novel that made me addicted G-senjou no Maou : My favorite (pure) VN I will remain forever haunted by its sublime conclusion (true route) ^^

Finished Fureraba. It's not perfect (Character Design, overlong routes...) but still, it was a funny and heartwarming experience (with an endearing cast of secondary characters) Since True Love, I was waiting for a Date-Sim as memorable as this Girl Ranking : Rina = Misaki = (Mahiro) > (Mako) > Himari = (Tomomi) > Yuzuyu Route Ranking : Himari (cool Childhood friend route) = Rina (smells like a good true route) = Misaki (SOOOO CUUUUTTTEEEE ) >> Yuzuyu (an unbalanced Tsundere : Too much dere, her change of behavior is too sudden, her backstory is a bit weak)

Yes, Fureraba is a great moege

edit : I finished three routes (Himari = Misaki > Yuzuyu) and just completed the third "checkpoint" of Rina. This girl is so cute and I like her interactions with the MC

Three wonders come to my mind 1/Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 2/ ef - a fairy tale of the two. (OR minori, for all of its work) 3/ Kara no Shoujo 2

https://vndb.org/c33531 YES, I want to be cool, sly and a bit mysterious It also works with https://vndb.org/c1383 or https://vndb.org/c305

Shame on me but i'm going to copy VirginSmasher 1/ Gyakuten Saiban 3 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations) 2/ G-senjou no Maou 3/ Kara no Shoujo 4/ Steins;Gate 5/ I/O 6/ Fate/stay night 7/ DanganRonpa : Trigger Happy Havoc 8/ Eden* They Were Only Two, On The Planet 9/ Kono yo no hate de koi o utau Shoujo YU-NO 10/ Kara no Shoujo 2

When I think I would get nothing better with another route (ex: Snow Sakura or Ayakashibito, after three routes). Or a rare case : When an ending leaves me fully satisfied (ex : Kira☆Kira after Chie's route)

I'm not sure about the right order (more than 10 years ago) but I think my first five VNs are among those : True Love ~Jun'ai Monogatari~ : I was young and, honestly, I was just looking for porn XD But but the game was so good, that I finished it 4-5 times Season of the Sakura : One of the girls looked like Asuka (Evangelion) Runaway City Three Sisters' Story May Club : At the time, I liked it a lot Nocturnal Illusion Fatal Relations X-Change : Bullshit. Ring Out!! : Bullshit. (Yeah, you can say it : I'm an old-timer ) Important : At the time, I did not know what a Visual Novel was

Still reading Grisaia no Meikyuu/The Labyrinth of Grisaia. I finished everything (as I thought, so far, the two after Stories written by Fujisaki Ryuuta were the best moments of the VN...Makina )...except Yuuji's Past. On the same subject,, I was asking myself a question about this grand route (HEAVY SPOILER). P.S. : I'm so sad for Sachi. Such a wonderful character...with two mediocre/botched routes (Meikyuu and Kajitsu)

Old-school and minimalist but still fascinating and haunting
