    Finished Koichoco AT LAST. It took me a really long time. Pretty enjoyable, Satsuki's the best girl.

    After finishing Chisato's route, I couldn't really get myself to read the other routes. I enjoyed it (a bit too much) and I couldn't imagine going for another route because

    Chisato makes it blatantly obvious that she likes the MC in the common route (If I remember correctly) and I would feel pretty bad if I were to go for another girl :komari:

    Hello, I began to study english for reading VNs translated into English and still know it not good enough. Which VNs of this list have the easiest and easier English than others ? Thanks in advance.

    Maybe you can try Narcissu. I think the level of English for ef may be a little difficult for someone someone who is learning though (if memory serves).

    Pretty true, I guess. I know a bit about it but I'm not following it in detail. Both Keemstar and leafy doesn't seem to have the best of reputations though. 

    Bit of a digress, but next person sleeps less than 6 hours a day.

    and thanks for the advices,encouragements and also discouragements.

    It's nice to see you take everything so positively :sachi:. 

    It's true that your current standard of English may not be good enough to provide a good translation, but if you work hard enough it would definitely improve over time.

    Good luck! 

    What's your opinion about VNs where the main heroine dies at the end?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    I think it really depends on the VN. The only VNs I've read where the heroines die in the end are: 

    Spoiler

    Narcissu 1 and 2, Eden, and Planetarian (Is that even considered death?) 

    I think for those VNs (especially the first 2), it's fine because we know that they're going to die since it's more or less told to us at the beginning of the story. It also serves to progress the story since we know why they do the things they're doing. Even though I went in with the knowledge that the main heroine's going to die, I still enjoyed every minute of it. 

    However, I don't think it's a good idea if a VN were to abruptly kill a heroine for no apparent reason (other than creating an emotional impact, as mentioned above).

    It's a nice read ^_^

    I think the setting was well written. 

    My English isn't fantastic, but was there perhaps a typo over here? Pouring a large...?

    pouring a large around herself

    I don't really know why but this part sounds a bit weird. I'm not 100% sure if there's anything wrong though.

    She arrived at the black charred gate that led to the back yard of her house which she had lived in two years before, the house was now a pile of ashes.

    Overall I think it's pretty good (at least for an amateur such as myself :sachi:)

    i honestly prefer this VN to be normal highscool mystery without involving the whole world.

    Most of the other routes won't be like that though. Lucia's route was really unique and different from most of the routes as they tried to combine many genres of story-telling. 

    Spoiler

    I can't really remember that much since I read it last year, but most of the plot has to do with Kotarou and main girl dealing with their organisation and how they face the threat of the end of the world and how they deal with the opposing organisations. Maybe except Kotori's route, which I really enjoyed.

    i was really dissapointed. Is this going to be the same with the rest of the route

    Not... really? It's difficult to explain without spoiling, but Lucia's route is very different from most of the other routes as it has way more romance and it feels like it focuses more on her personal complexes rather than what's happening around them.

    Learning a new musical instrument

    I've heard good things about the Admira Alba and Yamaha classical guitars, but I don't know how much you're looking to spend (both are around ~£100/$180 I believe).

    I see... There's a Yamaha shop nearby so maybe I'll check it out one of these days. I didn't know you could get a guitar for $40 though :o

    Given that 2-3 months I suggest you go for guitar, yes.

    Yeah, piano seemed a bit too difficult.

    I don't know, 3 months seems like a short period of time to learn from scratch, but you can probably manage the basics.

    I was also contemplating my decision, but since I've always wanted to learn an instrument and I won't have this amount of free time again I figured I should just go for it.

    Thanks so much for the advice!

    (which is one of the reasons it's best to start of with a nylon-stringed or classical guitar,

    Google had also advised me to start off with a classical guitar. For a complete beginner like me, is there any specific model or price range I should be looking at?

    Learning a new musical instrument

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So in about 2 more months I'll be taking a pretty big national exam that I've been studying the past few years for. After which, I would have about 2-3 months of completely free time (I would literally have nothing to do), so I was hoping to pick up a musical instrument in this long period of time. However, the problem is that I've had no experience in the fields of music. I never learnt any instrument as a kid, so I'll be starting completely from scratch. I'm mainly interested in learning either guitar or piano, but since piano seems to be the more difficult option (due to pricing and technical ability), I'm currently leaning towards guitar. 

    Of course, I still plan on practising (if I were to take up either instrument) after this 3 months, as I won't be busy to the point of not having time for leisure. I've also read that both instruments require a lot of time and dedication. I'm not expecting myself to master the instrument in a matter of months, but I'm hoping to at least be able to play relatively simple pieces. 

    I was wondering if I could get any advice and maybe a couple of tips from anyone who plays either instrument (or who plays any instrument). Thank you. :sachi:
