As someone whos constantly around H scene haters they dont bother me anymore

Now of course it's possible to be part of multiple but I think in the end we have all of our favorites. Feel free to choose any I didn't point out but this is my idea of the various subtypes of the VN community can be divided into: People who mostly read VNs that have any type of story. No Charages, moeges. Conversely, the people who basically mostly stick to charages or even moeges (or just for the waifus) The people who only read in Japanese no matter what People who mostly stick to a very specific genre of series like Mystery ones, or Otome/BL People who mostly read VNs for the H scenes People who mostly stick to Original English Visual Novels/EVNs People who mostly create Visual Novels For example, while I do try to read a variety of VNs, these days I mostly stick to charage/moege, and of course the H stuff...

The secret heroine in Hoshizora no Memoria is this in spades, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

I tried fixing it but I just said fuck it and kept it

He made it double elimination with a Winner's and Loser's Bracket. To determine what entries could got in, it seems like as long as it didn't have a fully released fan TL, or an official TL wasn't announced in some way with consistent TL progress it was allowed. One fan TL (Bishoujo Mangenkyou) got released towards the end of the contest. Here are the results : Winner's http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Winner's Bracket Loser's Bracket Rounds 1-5 http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Loser's II - Rounds 1-5 Part A http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Loser's II - Rounds 1-5 Part B http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Loser's II - Rounds 1-5 Part C http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Loser's II - Rounds 1-5 Part D Loser's Bracket Rounds 6-9 http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=470705&tclass=Loser's II - Rounds 6-9 Loser's Bracket: Top 4 and Grand Finals http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=470705&tclass=True Finals - The Top 4 So since I'm a stats nerd, I decided to extrapolate the relative 'voting strength' of how often people preferred to vote for each visual novel in relation to the winner, White Album 2. I mostly relied on Winner's Bracket since those had more votes, but in cases where weird results happened in Loser's Bracket where a VN over/underperformed or beat a VN that was lower than based on the other VN in the winner's bracket I did some little adjustments. The general mathematical equation I used to determine the proper % was "% in Match A" * "% in Match B" / 50 Rankings: 1) White Album 2 - 50.00% 2) Sakura no Uta - 49.50% 3) Soukou Akki Muramasa - 46.83% 4) Aiyoku no Eustia - 37.30% 5) Gin'iro Haruka - 32.54 6) Mahoutsukai no Yoru - 32.51% 7) Tokyo Necro - 31.56% Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai - 31.54% 9) '&' - Sora no Mukou de Sakimasu you ni - 31.07% 10) Hatsuyuki Sakura - 31.00% 11) Summer Pockets - 30.90% 12) Clover Day's - 30.57% 13)Iwaihime - 30.39% 14) Gunjou no Sora o Koete - 30.12% 15) Amatsutsumi - 30.10% 16) Suisou Ginka no Istoria - 30.06% 17) Ikusa Megami Zero - 30.04% 18) Robotics;Notes - 30.00% 19) Angel Beats! - 29.16% 20) Lovely x Cation - 29.10% 21) Inochi no Spare - 28.93% 22) Irotoridori no Sekai - 28.46% 23) Nora to Oujo to Norenako Heart - 28.21% 24) Sakura no Mori Dreamers - 28.00% 25) Kaijiri Kamui Kagura - 27.48% 26) Baldr Heart - 27.26% 27) Dekinai Watashi ga, Kurikaesu - 27.24% 28) ChronoBox - 27.18% 29) Gekkou no Carnevale - 27.08% 30) Amairo * Islenauts - 26.97% 31) Soushuu Senshinkan Gakuen - 26.57% 32) Ore-tachi no Tsubasa wa Nai - 26.43% 33) Bishoujo Mangekyou -Tsumi to Batsu no Shoujo- - 26.32% 34) Kitto, Sumiwataru Asairo Yori mo - 26.23% 35) Sen no Hatou, Tsukisome no Kouki - 25.99% 36) Hello, world - 25.89% 37) Tsuki ni Yorisou Otome no Sahou - 25.80% 38) Walkure Romanze - 25.77% 39) Pretty x Cation - 25.31% 40) Chaos;Head Noah - 24.21% 41) Reminiscence - 24.11% 42) Fate/Extra CCC - 24.09% 43) Himawari no Kyoukai to Nagai Natsuyasumi - 24.03% 44) Kin'iro Loveriche -23.70% 45) Making*Lovers - 23.37% 46) Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo - 23.34% 47) Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - 23.00% 48) Aoi Tori - 22.31% 49) Parfait ~Chocolat Second Brew~ - 22.83% 50) White Album 1 - 21.99% 51) Yosuga no Sora - 21.93% 52) Baldr Sky "Zero" - 21.56% 53) Bishoujo Magenkyou -Norowareshi- (fan TL released towards the end of the contest) - 21.02% 54) Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!

Interest in shilling a visual novel you really like for 2-3 minutes for our podcast, the Broadcast Club? So as some people know, I (along with Rallina and Nakenashi) co-host about visual novels podcast monthly-ish. We have a segment towards the end where a user can "shill" a VN you like for 2-3 minutes. Basically at the bare minimum you just briefly talk about what the visual novel is and why you like it. We're interested in getting some more shills lined up and ready. Other things to take note off if you want to contribute your own shill: * Leave a 3-5 seconds of silence at the beginning and/or the end of the recording* Please have the recording be a .wav file* Make sure there's no background noise as you record* It doesn't have to have an English Translation. But if it doesn't make sure you note that one doesn't exist (yet).* You can't shill a VN that's already been done before which includes: -The House in Fata Morgana -MajiKoi -Yumina the Ethereal -Princess Evangile -Root Double -Tomoyo After -Little Busters -Sunrider -Umineko series -Symphonic Rain -Kindred Spirits on the Roof If you're interested PM me a 2-3 minute-ish .wav file and we can work with it. If you want an idea of how previous shill segments work you can go to our YouTube channel. Each video has one shill each and I put a timestamp in the description. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsAcGboxM5tSyYcU6Fu4nDw/videos ---- In addition if you're interested in being a guest for any of the following topics: * VNs catered to Females (Otome/BL) * Art * Length * Settings * Endings * Overall Presentation * Any other interesting topic you can think of Feel free to PM one of us and lets know and we'll consider you as a guest for a future ep!

Hey, folks! This time we invited the president of SolPress, Xeviax, to talk about Visual Novel Romance! Big thanks to him for taking the time to chat with us! There may or may not be an exclusive announcement from Sol Press in this episode... http://thebroadcast.club/2018/09/19/episode-12-romance/ If you prefer to watch/listen on YouTube, we have a channel now! Make sure to follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/VNBroadcastClub ----------------------------- Discussion Topics How well do you think VNs portray romance? Is the quality of the romance important to you in VNs that have it as a focal point? What VNs have you read do you feel could have benefited from either stronger romance, or no romantic focus at all?

I voted for Korono since shes the girl I'm most interested in looks/personality wise but I'd be cool with any of them.

Oh cool! Glad someone is taking the opportunity to do this.

If you don't know what each tends to mean: moege - A general cutesty/light-hearted feel character oriented VN charage - Character oriented VN that is (much) less light hearted but while still generally avoiding darker themes nakige - A visual novel with the intention of making you cry nukige - A visual novel made for the sex. Usually lots of H-scenes and/or lots of little things made around the H-scenes So while with most VNs it seems to be generally agreed upon what kind of VN it is... I've noticed there are some oddballs that can have mixes of the above 4 types of genres while moege and charage in particular can be so similar that it can be hard to choose if it's one or the other. For example: Something like Wanko to Kurasou is probably a particularly weird case. It has a LOT of H-scenes but there are some very notable scenes that can make it nakige-ish but then there is a lot of light hearted character oriented moments that can make it seem like a moege. MajiKoi S is another kinda weird case since it also has a lot of H scenes to the point of some people claiming it is basically a nukige. But there's no denying stuff like the common routes are long enough to be moeges and the longer routes can be charage-ish. I would say even the original MajiKoi could be a moege or charage depending on what level of seriousness a VN needs to be considered a charage. Some ones that I feel like could also be considered a moege or charage depending on how serious/character development oriented a VN needs to be considered a charage: Edelweiss, Kira Kira, Deardrops, If My Heart Had Wings, Hoshimemo, apparently Koichoco or even Princess Evangile Hell even with stuff like KEY, especially the later titles, while they're generally considered nakige, they do have some really long light hearted content. And then of course there's the whole subjectivity of what KEY stuff doesn't make you cry but something else does? So in your guys' mind what criteria does it take to really differentiate between these 4 types of VNs (besides just going off what other people say)?

Youre a fellow comrade in my eyes at least

Both are important to overall fappability Writing doesnt necessarily relate to like how romantic/development heavy it is Just how hot it was written and how long it was, etc
