This was made solely by @Okiyuu on the MajiKoi/Tsujidou fan discord: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17TIlvDV8Sb9cHXvfs_RQP9ql8DIceV1C/view?usp=sharing The premise is you're a protagonist who's joining the Class of MajiKoi/Tsujidou and figuring out what the culture is like there. This VN gets quotes and common scenarios from the discord to get an idea of what it's like in there as well as mixing in some fun VN elements. There are some inside jokes and language that can be a bit... strong so just keep that in mind if you want to check this out.

I attempted to make my recording volume a lot louder so hopefully you guys don't have to turn it up as much. A video series to highlight Visual Novel related news that has to do with Releases, Announcements, Major Project Updates, and the Community. This video covers February 2020 News.

This can be from whatever angle you want: Physical Traits, Body Type, Personality, etc. Just whatever just the character(s) that specifically appeal to your personal tastes and why. There are a lot of characters I like but if I had to narrow it down to my type I'd say Kotori from Rewrite, Naruko from Bokuten, and Rina from Fureraba. Some traits between the three I like are: * All are generally energetic carefree characters and know how to give and take jokes pretty well. * At the same time, they're clearly are smarter/down to earth than they seem and know when to be serious when needed. (Many energetic characters end up being too immature, dumb, or loony) * All 3 are childhood friends or some kind of childhood friend equivalent. While Himari was the true childhood friend of Fureraba, Rina eventually took her place and knew the MC well before the story started. In all 3 cases, I liked the bond the characters were able to create and show before the story starts. Kotori and Naruko in particular have very deep relationships that are more interesting the more you learn about it. * I like their casual clothes/general fashion sense is fairly simple but still looks pretty/cute. * Outside Kotori and Naruko being brunettes none of the 3 are that similar in terms of physical traits. One of the main reasons I liked Kotori a lot from the start cuz... basically all her physical traits are stuff I really like. Naruko and Rina still look nice but Naruko is maybe a bit too smol and Rina a little too thicc.

Hundreds of H-scenes/eroge later and I still prefer these by far, mostly for this reason (besides the typical stuff like art and positions and stuff I like)

I'm interested in other people who actually like H-scenes (and not just for their literary/story value) but rarely/never talk about what they like. Visual Novels/Eroge are a weird genre that mixes story and H/Sex scenes, though sometimes they are esentially fully separated. Sometimes H-scenes are so long that the length can be equivalent to an average non-H scene in a VN and almost feel like it's part of the story. I've seen various reception to the existence of H-scenes. Some people are just very much against the idea of them existing and only want to read purely all ages content in visual novels which makes sense. There are people who say they don't like H-scenes but then when certain 18+/H content is taken out they don't like that the stuff is being "censored". There are people who say they only like H-scenes if they have some kind of literary/story value besides "pleasing" the reader. Usually when I see people admit to liking H-scenes it's usually just a small comment about them, they keep discussion in like friend groups, or just post pics in some kind of NSFW friendly chat or something. Sexual Content in basically anything tends to have a stigma in certain areas and communities, especially when anime-style characters are involved. The fact that 18+ H-Scenes integrate them in the story means anyone who reads visual novels at some point will eventually come across a VN with them. This isn't like porn or plain hentai or chaturbate where you can more easily hide your preferences, the topic of 18+ H scenes in visual novels will come in at some point. So this brings me to my main point. In relation to those who do legit like H-scenes: Are they just too shy to talk about what they like? Do they have to use excuses to not seem like a weirdo/pervert for admitting to liking them them? Or do they just not really know what to say about them? What are you guys' thoughts on this whole topic?

Nothing I see at the moment. The FanTLer group didnt like original Tsujidou VN that much and moved onto more toneworks VNs after they finished. I haven't seen anyone interested in picking Virgin atm.

I'd probably expect at least another week for it to be fully calmed down. Especially now that the mod team just got fully replaced. From what I gather about Nai, it seems he (and the other mods?) didn't want users to not just post about 18+ Loli pictures but also to make lewd comments about their... preference to lolis. I dont have time to run multiple VN subreddits (I already have another mid size sub and some discords and a full time job) but if he wants a more EVN friendly one I'd be more than happy to advertise it.

Visual Novel: If My Heart Had Wings/Konosora- Helps I was part of the Retranslation project as QC/testing but it's one of the best uplifting, wholesome stories I've ever read. Anime: Dragon Ball Super- Seems like a kinda mixed reception but I loved almost everything about it and it was almost everything I wanted in a true Dragon Ball Z sequel. Manga: My Love Story/Ore Monogatari - Kinda ties in with the anime but it was a very wholesome/funny story. Unlike anime actually had an ending. Game: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Smash Bros is my favorite series, every game is an improvement somehow, and theres just too much good stuff.

I have a friend who wants to read Amagami on PCSX2 with Textractor or some equivalent but it's not working.

https://sites.google.com/view/r-visualnovels-recs/ I did writeups for: Katawa Shoujo, Phoenix Wright, DanganRonpa, Fate/Stay, Ever17, Hoshizora, Symphonic, Majikoi, Sankaku Renai, Tsujidou, Sharin no Kuni, Swan Song, Miagete Goran/Sky Full of Stars, Rewrite, Kikougai, Remember11, and Fashioning Lonesome.

Cool, added these plus some other series I missed in the opening post.

Last year I linked a list of the known Visual Novel related discords I knew about. There were a handful I found throughout the year that I added. Enough that I felt it would be good to post this list again for people to find an updated list of discords of series they've read in the last year or didn't know exist. Not including things like DanganRonpa/Ace Attorney discords since those games are so popular they're not really VN community based as much and are super easy to find. Most of these should be welcome to all readers. Whether you want to read the series for the first time, or have already and just want to discuss the VNs. Just make sure to respect spoilers and any other rules the discord has. If there are any notable Visual Novel related discords you want me to add to this list that I forgot or you feel should be put on here, or one of the links doesn't work, let me know. -------- **List of Discords for official licensing companies, TL groups, developers and major websites** * MangaGamer- https://discord.gg/a7zuFfZ * JAST USA - https://discord.gg/rMGjzQE * JAST BLUE (yaoi aka Guy x Guy Visual Novels) - https://discordapp.com/invite/pzbxfuV * Sekai Project - https://discordapp.com/invite/sekai-project * Sol Press - http://discord.gg/hrcAzxq * Nekonyan - https://discord.gg/BK4dFsG * Fruitbat Factory- https://discord.gg/fruitbatfactory * Nexton- https://discord.gg/GcyDtUt * Cherry Kiss Games - https://discord.gg/3hTEeBC * ALICE IN DISSONANCE (Fault Milestone developers) - http://discord.gg/faultseries * Todokanai (White Album 2 Fan TL group) - https://discord.gg/5rrxEUN * Torishirojima Island (Summer Pockets FanTL Group) - https://discord.gg/XHtsCs7 * Tsurezure Scans (Hatsukoi/Tsujidou/Hoshiori/Gin'iro Haruka FanTL group)- https://discordapp.com/invite/nfwUnp4 * Committee of Zero (Chaos Head Noah FanTL + SciADV patch improvements) - https://discord.gg/53cj5xs * ShiraVN (Magister Magistrate, Your Diary+ retranslation, and Meteor World Actor.) - https://discord.gg/qBmrqDy * /r/visualnovels - https://discord.gg/Z6skErt * DevTalk+ (Visual Novel Development Community)- https://discord.gg/VzM6DeQ * Fuwanovel - https://discord.gg/F79q4dp * Visual-novel.info - https://discordapp.com/invite/gtNRnbe * Kazamatsuri - https://discord.gg/RdjQsV2 (Kazamatsuri also requires user to fill out a form to confirm you) - https://goo.gl/forms/8U2gO2NDUkcxhdoB3) ----- **List of fanmade discords for VN series** * Air - https://discord.gg/N8wTXEK * Aokana / Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm - https://discord.gg/WaVm5cm * Ar Tonelico Surge Concerto series https://discord.gg/2xMZbZs * Baldr series - https://discord.gg/CRP4Sp * Chaos;Head/Child playthrough and discussion server: https://discord.gg/aqcsPWY * Dies Irae - https://discordapp.com/invite/fVgRb7T * Doki Doki Literature Club - https://discord.gg/6cKj8cq * Fata Morgana - https://discord.gg/3vVkkH2 * Flowers - https://discord.gg/bwdCm88 * Grisaia - https://discord.gg/0vIZSb9oQQcDDPTX * If My Heart Had Wings/Kono Oozora + Sky Full of Stars/Miazora - https://discord.gg/pjWQw57 * Island/Himawari - https://discord.gg/nx6whn3 * Kanon - https://discord.gg/dEEbycx * KEY/VisualArts (Kanon, Air, Clannad, Planetarian, Little Busters, Rewrite, Angel Beats, Harmonia, Summer Pockets) - https://discord.gg/Wd4DrgN * Katawa Shoujo https://discord.gg/S2EHXbA * Little Busters - https://discord.gg/PPz6xRa * MajiKoi/Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai + Tsujidou-san - https://discord.gg/wqAcmHp * Muv-Luv - https://discord.gg/0wXwnqY9lQcO0u0E * Narcissu and other stage-nana VNs - https://discord.gg/8s9VmS9 * NekoPara - https://discord.gg/xGY7Hec * Otome Games - https://discord.gg/gYFY5yF * Overdrive (Edelweiss, KiraKira, Deardrops, Dengeki Stryker, Go Go Nippon, Bokuten) - https://discord.gg/m8sGK4u * Rewrite - https://discord.gg/FCBb8M4 * Root Double / Infinity Series (Never7, Ever17, Remember11) / IO - https://discord.gg/7fy6A6n * Saya no Uta - https://discord.gg/UMWvCMW * Steins Gate + Science Adventure VNs (Chaos;Head, Robotics;Notes, Chaos;Child, etc) - https://discord.gg/YBmZzfA * Subahibi/Subarashiki Hibi/Wonderful Everyday - https://discord.gg/x9uenG * Symphonic Rain - https://discord.gg/DtmxqSY * Tactics (One and Moon) - https://discord.gg/XUfvN2p * Type Moon - https://discord.gg/fate * Umineko (/r/umineko) - https://discord.gg/mV9jM9G * Utawarerumono - https://discord.gg/bgJ9rAF * VA11-HallA - https://discord.gg/B4cBVaC * YU-NO - https://discord.gg/7ZNK8TT * Yuri (Girl x Girl) Visual Novels - https://discord.gg/MykW77j
