    How ITH sees furigana (also commonly known as ruby text) depends on how the game sends it. Some games have it alongside the text, some games send it to a different thread, and some games use methods ITH doesn't know how to read. You can try checking the other threads and see if it's there, if not you'll have to try and find it using similar methods to creating H-codes.

    I know that, but the thing is no matter how much I search, nobody else has this problem for Hello Lady. In fact, even found a screenshot where everything works, and no H-code.  But not that much people check this thread (they just ignore it), so I'll try to create a thread when I'll be near the end of Ys VIII.

     

    But thanks for the answer!

    Unfortunately I've still been unable to find it. It might be impossible to find it at this late time so i think i'm giving up. I really wanted to find that disc because it would complete my collection. It's really weird that all of the append disc contents are on sale somewhere except for that one disc...  but oh well. Maybe i'll look around in Akihabara some later time when i'm in Tokyo.

    Thank you everyone for replying and helping me. Btw Riku, that link you shared is only for selling. You can't actually buy it! But thank you anyway!

    Whoops, sorry, didn't look correctly.

    And done. Man, was a pain to create a page and all for the bonus harem story on VNDB.

    Anyway, Fuyu was nice, but like Aki, it could be so much more. And everything ended way too easily (same as Aki). But hey, I thought a little, and considering they're under 10 hours and low costs VNs, that what's would be expected of them. In fact, it's actually rather impressive they're that good compared to longer VNs with far more budget.
    Anyway, story aside Dere Setsuka was amazing because of the gap with her previous self. And this time we get even more event CGs too. o/

    As for the harem story, was the same length as the after after stories. The girls accepting the harem really easily aside, the way everything is presented is rather nice for a change as it shows the things Souichirou has to do to maintain the harmony of the situation.

    Anyway, never have been good to give my opinion, so I'll just say that it was a very nice series you can read easily and quickly, and while it could have been much more it's still better than most of the moege out there (perhaps, not like I played them all :p)

    While I'm at it, heroine ranking: Eris > Setsuka = Satsuki > Aoi.  
    Route ranking: Eris = Setsuka > Satsuki > Aoi.

    So, I did read something before Natsu Uso, but couldn't wait for Eris and did Aki Uso just after.

    So, for Natsu, to be honest I wasn't really in all the Student Council thing, but other than that it was twisted like in Haru, if not more. Aoi was cute, but that's it. Liked the the memories of the past. Also, same problem as Haru with same number of event CGs and HCGs/H-scenes. :/

    Then comes Aki. I'll be honest, I was disappointed, it could have been SO MUCH more, it had so much plot potential. Oh well, was still plenty nice because I just love Eris, and she has the best after story and after after story so far. Same as Natsu, I liked past memories here too. We need to talk about the new character, Shizuku, who was pretty fun too. Loved how she would add things the the end of her sentences desushi osushi. Also this time we actually get 7 event CGs, yeah. o/ (so "only" 17 HCGs and 10 H-scenes)

    So, Fuyu, after after Fuyu, Shizuku SS and Harem Route to go. I know the Harem Route will probably just be a joke route (though considering it's 1gb I still hope for at least a few hours reading), but still happy there is one to see all the girls happy, mainly Eris after knowing more about her. (and I guess Setsuka got it worse if the thing I got unintentionally spoiled about is true...

    My experiences using JPN TL software and web translators to TL JPN VNs

    Also, whether or not the opinion MTL-ing VN > or = learning Japanese  to read JPN Vns is correct or not, you (and many others that replied in this thread) could have disagreed and explained your stance and reasons on why you think MTL-ing VN is very bad. Instead, you (like others here) adopted a very hard line and very condescending attitude towards MTL, which I feel is very over-the-top among other thoughts that I have.

     

    I don't know, I'm pretty sure everyone explained that MTL is bad, because, you know, the translation is wrong. I think you're able to defend MTL that much for now because you basically have almost no Japanese knowledge. As you said you were learning, I wonder what your stance will be in a few months once you'll have enough knowledge to realise how bad MTL is.

    The point is that GT, while sometimes correct for simple sentences, is wrong most of the time. So if you're fine with that, that means you don't care about the VN in itself, you just want to know the story. And in that case, like they said, might as well read a summary from someone.

     

    Also, yes, Japanese isn't difficult. It just takes time to learn like other languages. And if kanji are your only problem, know that in a few months (or even less if you're diligent) you can just read with chiitrans or Yomichan thanks to the grammar you learnt.

    So I thought it was finally time to read VNs in Japanese again (only read a few VNs in English recently).

    But I decided to do that slowly so I'm starting with the Uso series. That way I can do one, then read a LN, then VN, then LN, etc...

    Anyway, started with Haru Uso (because, well, it's the first one) and I'll say my biggest complaint that will most likely be true for the rest of the series too: we have gorgeous 1080p art, but there is only 4 FREAKING EVENT CGs FOR 20 HCGs counting 13 H-scenes, and it's a <10 hours VN. (my inner pervert is still happy about the 5 BJ scenes because Shimizu Ai did a perfect job :yumiko:)

    Anyway, as for the story itself is pretty nice. It's a short VN so you don't have the time to find it boring, and the principle of seeing lies is pretty cool.

    Characters are nice too, protagonist, Souichirou, is cool and straightforward (but with the usual denseness). Satsuki (Haru's Heroine) is nice and the twist of being a big liar gives her a certain charm. Eris, is well, let's be honest, she's a complete strike for me (Vampire + (future) neet + ponkotsu + best pal) and I'm hyped as hell to do her route. Aoi is intriguing with her past with Souichirou and you can't help wanting to know more. Then Setsuka is intriguing, but you still basically know nothing about her for now. Based on what @Clephas said I'm really hyped to play her route too.

    So yeah, I think I'm going to greatly enjoy this series.

    As a side note, while I think the VN was a pretty easy read objectively, subjectively I found it easier than usual. Being accustomed to read LN narration for the past few months, a VN made mostly of dialogues is a walk in the park. I'm pretty sure I upped my reading speed by at least 0.5. o/

    Anyway, back to LN/WN before Natsu Uso.

     

    EDIT: Going to do Satsuki's After After Story first, I think it'll be better than wait to have done everthing first. Will do each of after each route/VN.

    What Anime are you watching now?

    in Anime/Manga Talk

    Posted · Edited by Riku

    Exactly. I didn't understand why Gintama was so popular when I watched the first two episodes. But I didn't really had something else to do at that time and decided I might as well continue. Didn't regret it one bit. One of the funniest anime I've seen, and serious moments and battles are really good too.

    Though I would understand that some people don't like the humour as sometimes it's really "Japanese" and we can't relate to it.

    Okay boys, found the problem!

    I used this guide: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

    Then after rebooting my PC many times, I found out that when the program Nahimic Audio Driver is open ITHVNR doesn't work. Thankfully even if the program is closed it seems like the parameters are saved and the sound stay the same, so I just have to close Nahimic Audio Driver and everything works (perfect sound included)

    It's weird, but heh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Thanks for the help anyway.

    Instead of creating a new topic, allow me to use yours to ask something.

    So, after months without playing VNs in Japanese, decided it was time to play one, but here is the problem: ITH or even ITHVNR doesn't open. It shows up in task manager, but that's it.

    Any idea? (Windows 7, net framework is under 4.7, tried admin, disabling antivirus, but nothing works)

    It worked perfectly on my old PC, so I really don't know why it would not on this one...

    Your opinion on the Isekai genre?

    in Anime/Manga Talk

    Posted · Edited by Riku

    If Narou was in English too you guys would drown in Isekai WNs. :wahaha:

    Anyway, my stance is simple: It's like everything, if written badly it's bad, if it's well written it's good. Add a little spice called "taste", and voilà!

    The problem is that the genre is so popular that many wannabe write bad "novels" and because of that there are more bad isekai novels than good ones.

     

    Also, the best VRMMO ever is Infinite Dendrogram. :wafuu:
