You know what I did when I got tired of how mediocre the English scene was getting? I started learning Japanese in order to avoid it. You can too instead of complaining about it on here.

Rip NoraToto. Kiri must be devastated (or really happy, I dunno).

I want a petition to rename this to Reading Endless SoL Very Slowly. www

I really liked all 4 routes, but it starts to get truly great by Marie's route. Kasumi and Kei have damn good routes, but Marie and Rea have some of the best routes I've ever read.

Overambition has been their downfall. They tried getting as many licenses as they could from their genesis until around 2017 without any preparation on how to get those licenses translated and out in a reasonable period of time.

Here are my top 5 VNs I read this year. It's a mix of English and JP releases because I started reading in JP starting in August. 1. Dies Irae - possibly the best chuunige I'll ever read (until maybe Muramasa or KKK). Epic battles that manage to be over-the-top and investing as hell at the same time, a great cast of characters, beautiful writing, and have I mentioned the battles yet, because they're amazing. Overall the best game I've read this year. 2. Chaos;Child - easily one of the most gripping reads I've experienced in a long time. An intriguing mystery filled with so many mind-boggling twists and turns, a good cast, entertaining humour, and a weird, but interesting route setup. 3. Kusarihime Euthanasia - a fantastic mystery VN from Liarsoft and easily their best title I've read so far. Simple, but brilliant writing, a good cast of characters (especially Kurame), a setting that has an oppressive atmosphere to it, great twists, and ridiculously engaging final chapters that'll confuse and entertain at the same time. 4. Himawari Aqua After - the fandisc to my favourite VN of all time and it continues the original story brilliantly. The cast is as funny and play off each other just as well as the original, the themes it explores are relatable and provide for very emotional moments, and the ending...well, it made me cry for the first time in a VN since the original Himawari. Would be higher if the first part were more developed, but it was still quite good. 5. Hotel - a really good Sol-drama set in a Hotel throughout its entire runtime. The second best new cast of characters I came across this year, all with relatable issues and interesting backstories, great drama that had me at the edge of my seat, a ladder structure that works with the pacing of the VN, an emotional ending. Definitely the best underrated VN I read this year. Honorable mentions Fata Morgana FD Sorcery Jokers Grisaia no Rakuen Soundless UmiKara I/O Karenai Sekai to Owaru Hana

Here's my list of must-haves for VNs. 1. Must have honorifics, no matter what language it is in. I need my chans and sans or else I will kill myself. 2. Must stick thoroughly to Japanese sentence structures. Must have concepts like "Despite this," "Even though," "Is that so?" "Pregnant with," and "Ittadakimasu" or else I will kill myself. 3. Must be edited by an ESL with no proper understanding of English for a genuine experience. Must be overwritten and underwritten at the same time, circa HoshiMemo localization or else I will kill myself. And by kill myself, I mean bitch about it on r/vns.

Beautiful creation, but very confused. How can I know how many reviews you stole these opinions from if you don't cite your sources?

Conjueror gave it a bad review, so no thank you.

My pick is Chaos;Child as the TL was released for PC this year. For non-ports, I'd have to go with Fata Morgana's Fandisc for translated and none for unTLed since I didn't read anything that came out in JP this year.

My personal creation.

Can we make a thread for people bitching about SakuraGame and their newest licenses called "SakuraGame: Epic Destroyer of EOP hopes and dreams" please?

Lol machine TL

well.. after a long time of being silent finally I decided to post on Fuwanovel again and I think I should introduce myself to you. I'm Virgin Smasher and I'm the gatekeeper to these here forums. 1. Anime is bad. Don't make a MAL account 2. Make a VNDB account so everybody can make fun of your ratings I can only recommend JOP moege since a couple of them are actually good, unlike the translated ones. However, you should definitely read SakuraGame's translations as they are works of art and nothing else even comes close.

Sekai Press (Sol Press) Lol Chuee got cucked (NekoNyan) Nukige...just nukige (Cherry Kiss) Why is Blick TLing Lamunation instead of Nukitashi? (Love Lab) And finally, the fan TL wasteland, where quality mostly goes to die.

Eroge smell bad just like the people who read them.

>preferring no mosaics over TL quality

Subahibi, but in Japanese.

Episodic releases are pretty garbage based off of the fact that you know how all of them are gonna end. With a wink and a "see you next year for the continuation" which 1. Would completely ruin any pacing the original had in a sense and possibly ruin investment as well 2. If your VN is forgettable, people aren't gonna give a shit about any other episodes 3. It makes the ending completely predictable and therefore pointless to read until the series is finished Basically, it feels like you just wasted your time. In comparison to manga, which come out weekly, there's still quite a bit of investment there. If you have to wait a whole year between releases, your series is gonna most likely be forgotten in that time period with all sorts of other eroge coming out. I just don't see the point of reading until the whole thing is actually finished, which makes the company less money if more people feel this way.

They're honestly quite terrible. I know that most people were drawn to VNs because they almost always got a complete package in one single game and now that companies feel the need to split up releases to make more money, people only get to read a single route per episode and usually have to wait a long time for the next episode. It's a concept that's gonna end up ruining why I and many others love the medium and changing it to be more like manga and LNs except with a lot longer wait time.

Changing to JP locale won't screw up anything on your computer, so I always have it like that.
