Can read and understand japanese, for non-jp speaking there is simply lack of VNs to read.

Apparently Kim Jong-un says he’ll give up nukes if U.S. promises not to attack. I still don't trust him, but if we can get rid of the nukes in a way where we can verify that they are gone, then it can't be a bad thing. Considering what Trump has said about Iran, I don't think he will make a deal with NK without any kind of verification that NK actually do what they are supposed to do according to the agreement.
If Kim smart he wont give up nukes, without nukes its only matter of time before NK invaded by USA.
Also giving up nukes worked out great for Ukraine(Budapest Memorandum), right?
Another example is Libya, Kadafi gave up WMD's for USA's favour, few years later he was killed by rebels backed by the West and USA.

Isekai is nothing but purely escapist wish fulfillment, using the same old tropes over and over again with little originality and basically no story.
I hate this genre with passion.

I have few complaints, the translation is absolutely liberal one too many swear words, I am fairly certain that wasnt in the original version. Also VN could have been a little more serious, MC was sometimes was so annoying with jokes. Otherwise decent read, especially liked the minimal use of clieches from other VNs, no annoying drama filler, though sometimes on a boring side.

Next time try something other than all ages game, I have absolutely zero interest in all ages.

Mahou Shoujo Site seems to be very promising

This VN certainly did overstay its welcome, too long especially for a slice of life stuff, I could barely finish the routes just wanted to be done with already.
Maki's route was especially bad also the art seriously wrong for her, those oversized mellons bordering to disgusting
-
NO
If you are interested in visual novels and dont know japanese language then tough luck...There is barely anything released in english and usually has to wait for months to get anything decent or even years, simply you cant be full time VN fan not knowing jp.

Wait Wait Wait...... SEKAI IS DOING 2 YUZUSOFT TITLES?
Senran Banka and Dracu Riot?!
As far as I am concerned anything from Yuzusoft, insta get, so Sekai doing god's work.
Outside of Yuzusoft...Maitetsu also an excellent pick, such a good sense of art
-
THIS MADE MY DAY.
Denpasoft is spot on, couldnt have wished for a better lineup: Maitetsu, Tenshin Ranman, Senren * Banka.

Seems like Pulltop will be releasing 18+ version of the first Moenovel Love Kami game in Japanese
So West will get the nerfed edition? Thats a rip-off.
Hopefully moenovels focus group in the west --- when asked why they did butchered Konosora- (french 12 year old girls) will make up for the lost sales.
Moenovel to Visual novels what 4Kids was to Anime. Just disappear already

I actually was going to buy Libra of the Vampire Princess on Steam but if I can't get the 18+ patch with it, then I'm not going to bother. If I'm going to pay $40 for a game, I want to be able to enjoy all the content.
Yes West always get the worst deals compared to Asia, VNs without ero, Smartphones with less storage and less RAM

Agreed, never hated MC more than comyu's.

Uh, sorry, but the translation is very badly done. It's not "a few mistakes," it's a constant stream of massive fuckups.
Anyway, the "quantity over quality" argument is one I will vehemently disagree with, though I doubt any debate on the matter would be productive.
Its already confirmed to have uncensored version, thats half success itself. Now if they provide better quality than machine translation and if you can get the general idea what has been written, then I am sold
Beggars cant be choosers, those who dont understand moon runes cant be too picky about quality, I understand that perfectionist or people who spoiled with lot of choice (knowing moon runes) can pass this
-
Everything as expected, such a fate of western VN fans, delays after delays, no problem as long as we get the game.
Today I am quite optimist, so lets say the most we have to wait is about a week

I hate to play devil's advocate here, but if people are so hard-boiled about English translations and are gonna be super picky, why not just learn Japanese so you can read the original content? I know that seems like an asshole thing to say and I'm not trying to be. However, while it is a slight distraction to see some of the bad translations that Decay pointed out, they don't seem to ruin the enjoyment of the VN as it was intended. When you look at VNs that have tens of thousands of lines of text, and you pick maybe 10 out that are bad, isn't that a bit much?
I've played VNs that have bad translations in them and, while distracting, it didn't really ruin the overall enjoyment factor. I think the frustrating part for me is that it takes a LOT of time to get an English translation and games normally don't get a second translation, so the fact that we have English to read at all should be appreciated. However by that same logic, I also appreciate the counter-argument that it should be done right in the first place.
Note I'm not making excuses for bad translations nor am I saying it's acceptable. I guess I'm just saying we should all calm down a little bit and maybe appreciate that the translation is provided in the first place.
Exactly, I dont know about others but I prefer at least getting an english translation than getting nothing. I am willing to tolerate few badly translated line and wont stop me supporting the translators. Sure it could be done better, still I prefer this than complaints "its not perfect, therefore utterly worthless gibberish, not worth to buy" . If not for these projects , the vn community would be subject the pity of fan translators who might perfectly translate a given VN, but only after 6-10 year. Less quality more quantity I would say.
Is there uncensored version?
Yes!
Is the translated product machine quality or very badly done translation?
NO! There are few mistakes for sure, but not enough to destroy the enjoyment and fully edible.
Are char designs good enough(moe) and not typical boring shonen focused plot which west usually get?
Yes!
For me its a buy then.

Well in general in VNs if you want a route the general way is to be nice to that one person and be an asshole to everybody else. Sad but true. Some exceptions include clannad. That shit's impossible, where you have to be kind to some random girl to get a totally different girl's route. Really needed a walkthrough for that one >_>
+1
While the system isnt perfect, its lot better than needing a walkthrough to get the route you want, because figuring out yourself would be huge pain due the absolutely illogical random choices that lead to route.
So Be asshole to everybody except one gets her route > Be nice to everyone, illogical random choices which magically lock you to one girl, you didnt even want.

Announcing Marina kinda proves my hypothesis that Mangagamer isn't really interested in bringing NTR eroge to the west. They are only interested in bringing cuckold nukige (meaning consensual adultery aka the most boring subgenre of NTR) since that is a porn genre already established here and normies are familiar with the concept.
But NTR games with actual drama, meaningful relationship problems, suspense, angst ... you know, all the good stuff? Eh, probably not.100% agreed.
2017, and not one good translated NTR eroge. Sad world we live in.

Too bad the art seems to be quite subpar, damn what a foreheads.

I couldn't see any post of this on the forums or on the main page. So i thought i would at least let everyone know.

Preorder here: https://lvxero.com/product-category/libra-of-the-vampire-princess/
I probably wont buy this because they didnt put in routes for Sakuraka and Kaede.Thanks this one looks really good, cant wait for the release.

What about tv shows like game of thrones? I remember that having some scenes like that i think.
Yes GoT has decent gore contect(in this case more like natural portrayal of some death scene) for a western show, though the plot became really predictable as of late seasons and plot armor feels too strong, neither was case in the beginning.

Ah. I can't stand dark/gore stuff in general. Be it movies OR games. I don't know why, i just can't stand it lol. What VN are you playing currently?
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, as said VNs for me mostly all about moege/charage so we are pretty much on the same page with our taste.
The only difference that I also like gore(it would be better to say guro) Because games or movies described with high ammount "gore" , almost always ends up really disappointing due to lackluster gore, its not enough for me.

Expecting some throwaway quality nukige announcement, if by some miracle something worth getting announced still have to wait years.
