  1. Reading Root Double. I'm near the end of the second, B, route. Jesus fucking christ, it's such a boring drag. I haven't felt so much repulsion when I start reading VN, since I read Girsaia 1, a year ago. It's horribly written. Interesting ideas, nice first route, but other than that... horrible pacing, very boring and bland characters, and a lot of shitty, juvenile to the power of X plot progressions. Moe art only adds to that and not helps me get immersed in story at all. SS system is terrible, and imposible to read without walkthrough. Abundance of boring flashbacks is a really bad story structure. Sometimes bland, and sometimes awfull ost is offputing as well. Sigh. Still half of this VN before me. And everybody says that C/D routes are even more boring. ... argh. I don't want. But I must. I won't drop this title. Lord, have mercy.
  2. Did you wrote anything longer about your look on FataMorgana? Would be intersting to read something negative about it.
  3. You know her, best girl in anime ever. Just look at her. Typical cold, dsitant, silent character right? Well... yes and no. I read quite a few vns now (translated only) and I must say...that I probably never met a character similiar to Rei. What I mean by that: - Silent - Distant - Cold - Uninterested - Replaying with short asnwers - Not engaging in any social activities etc. Seems quite easy to find a girl like that in vns, right? No. The problem is, that when a character have traits as listed above, she is usually also: - With a resting bitchface - Angered - Hidden tsundere - Yearning for some fun - Telling people to 'die', when they approach her etc. Examples of this: Momono Shiori, from 11eyes Sannomiya Louise Yui, from Root Double Komachi Tsugumi, from Ever 17 or even Toudou Makoto, from Hanahira I'm looking for more cold, more distant and more taciturn characters. Closest to what I want are Kiryiu Moeka from Steins;Gate, but she don't have her route and I just don't like her, and Byakuya Rinne from euphoria, but those who read it (I highly recommend!) knows what kind of mindfuckery her route is. Anybody have any ideas? This should be a route having heroine, not some minor character. EDIT: How could I forget about m yfavourite heroine from Muv-Luv Extra, Ayamine Kei? She's almost perfect in the ReiAyanamism.
  4. SSS is one of the worst system I have ever seen in VNs. You never have ANY idea about what characters are going t odo if you raise their meters, it's coplete bullshit. I recommend playing with walkthrough, but then - you need to alt+tab the game once in every few minutes. So yeah, RD is a good VN (I think, I only just sterted), but its system is horrible.
  5. Summer was great. Wish to read more from tht writter. He also wrote Planetarian and it was great as well. But I will not fall as low as to start reading Clannad again for his one route with most airhead and dumb character ever.
  6. Just play it fullscreened, as you should. ;P
  7. Random trivia: In Norse mythology there is a myth about Fenrir, the terrible wolf, who was about to eat the worlds (or somehting like that). Fenrir was bound by Gleipnir, the invincible rope, which was made from: - The beard of a woman - The roots of a mountain - The sinews of a bear - The breath of a fish - The spittle of a bird And finally, to stay on topic: - The sound of cats' paws. And what's why, according to vikings, those things do not exists. So taptaptap as the sound of running paws is a little... strange.
  8. Oh shit, really? Thanks for heads up, gonna change my 'route' to Misuzu then. And rooftoplesbians is far from relaxing, those kindergarden like ''''romances'''' are infuriating in their stupidity.
  9. I'm reading Aoishiro (finished one route and halted) and 11eyes (reading hard - I want to finish this before I can fastread Deardrops for April Club). And while I didn't liked many things about 11eyes at the beginning ('comedic duo' was awfull, cast was meh, etc) I absolutely love this title now. It's not something great, but it's really good and it 'clicked' with me so well, that even really bad ero-jokes are not destrying my mood while reading. Lore is nice, setting is good, story is interesting, and cast...oh my god the cast. Every person is ambiguous, everybody have some interesting backstory that can shed a completly new light on this character (Yukiko FFS! I adroe her! Wven though I usually hate bubbly energetic characters), everybody is in a place that their character development can go completly different places and still be believable. But what this VN really did great, that almost no other VN has EVER did (yeah, trully - give me even one example) Mild spoiler about charatcers ahead, nothing about story, or setting. Just in case, spoiler tag. So yeah, I'm enchanted and lastly spending almost every damn free hour to read that. And it's great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, and Kindred spirits on the roof is utter, frustrating shit, with hollow characters, dumb, kindergarden-level relationships, 'raburabu till the end of their lives' from first sight, even if they do not know each other names and have nothing in common (no interests, completly different personalities, etc. See spoiler above to how it should have been written), and really cringeworthy writting - like that "rock god" poser girl, which is really terrible, it's like it was written by 55yo white guy in a suit, trying to be hip and cool. (It's probably equally the fault of shitty localisation). VN premise is disgusting with that whole interffering with strangers lives. Homosexuality is presented really hollow. Bam, suddenly girl loves a girl, but ... nothing follows that, even if she's surprised. And protag - she's fine, butt obviously her silent, independent, intelligent and responsible character is going to be broken, because how can she be so mature, there must have been some drama in her life, why she's so silent and why she eats alone, we must fix her! We can't have independent, responsible characters in our VNs (Hoshizora no Memoria comes to mind, and this is really not a good sign). So yeah - avoid that shit, Flowers, or Lesbian Nurses are much, much better yuri vns.
  10. Yup. But assumed that's just his name. Silly me.
  11. Okay, where is the typo? : | Is it in inproper grammar "you'll" isntead on some kind of "you'd"?
  12. Did we read the same VN? In common route there was literally 6 people including protagonist + 2 characters that appear very occasionally. I would even say that it was a very small cast.
  13. Considering that IRL in many cases blood doesn't not appear at all, I'm glad that they didn't went that way. Sometimes blood amout is just... overflowing, it's terrible. People who had suffer from such a big wound inside their sensitive body parts, wouldn't be enjoying their first time at all. And as we all know - female orgasm at first time is mandatory. So a bit of an contradiction here. But I know, I know, VNs aren't about logic, or cohesiveness.
  14. As Mitch said. Story was too good to be ruined by sex scenes.
  15. ...that was an...unexpectedly good story. Shame that h-scenes and typical for vn complete 'whatever' about sex and it's implications, really downgraded the second part of the story (I only read mitchs' post, but I can imagine how it looked like in the vn... especially that But overall - I'm surprised. Ca't wait for BM titles to be transalted, they look georgeous. Especially that vampire one, and THIS ONE.
  16. So how long it actually is? And be detailed, please. (like 5h of common and 4 routes for 4-5h each) I just need to know if one weeknd is enough, or if I should prepare two weekends tostart and finish this.
  17. Wrong. I hated common, Amane and Sachi routes. Really liked Michiru route.
  18. Oh yeah, his relation with Mizusus' mother was great!
  19. Yeah, I had that on the beginning of my 'VN journey'. I was engrossed with romance and then BAM, sudden h scene destroyed everything. It's typical for shitty charage. It was jarring first few times, then I stopped reading those. But still - it's ridiculous, stupid, off putting, immersion breaking, cringe worthy and lazy writting. I could count good written romances with believable buildups for sex scenes in VNs that I read on my fingers. Of one hand. Visual Novels are really an awesome medium to tell stories and/or romances, but this medium is criminally underused. But well, who cares about believability and good writting, when you have moe/cute/tsundere/fap-fodder/great prose-no substance/unfunny comedies/pissing lolis/head pats/retarded and-or mentally deranged characters posing as cute and list of what people tend to like in VNs goes on and on. Sigh.
  20. Come on, that wasn't even a bait, just facts. :v Okay, what about this: "typical Moe-Loli-Porn". Satisfied? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't get the hype for Trinoline. It's not like it's from well known writters and art creators of previous Minori titles. Everybody in this project is fairly new, we don't know nothing about it's quality. Except, of course, that it will have typical for Minori, stunning visual effects and presentations (with ugly moe artstyle of sprites, cgs, etc). But is it enough?
  21. So, moe-overdose (screw you minori, even Supipara didn't looked that bad) with awful synopsis, visually interesting looking BL title, with very intriguing looking plot, and typical moe-pedo-porn. So... yeah, I'm kinda interested in that BL title, but I'll have to see if I'm able to go through Dramatical Murder first.
  22. Nice revies, despite final grade, it got me interested and I'll definitely read this.
  23. Well, scars of bad VNs runs deep. Probably will shut up about H, as I did with Sharin no Kuni, and later Grisaia, when I found a new 'great enemy'. CrossChannel seems to be one of the worst shits ever, so maybe I wil lstart babling about that. ;d
  24. I would like to say the same thing, but Himawari broke me and I will no longer trust anything 'moe'. But I'm mildly interested in this, will wait for more non Moogy, non Conjueror and non Hader opinions.
