[Sorcery Jokers was released on January 12th]

Just a question, is there actual routes ot choices in this game?

I only just finished the prologue and entered Haruto’s viewpoint and sawthat part when Riku gets you off which made me wonder

[What, one feature in some VN's like you'd like to see more commonly in VN's as a whole?]

the ability to go back to a previous scene with the history log(u know the click to jump to scene thingy) is something i wish more VNs had, its handy

Because everyone are united in hate for 1 mc and likes to argue about loli?

nah mate i meant discussion about the translation quality not the VN itself, the VN is good but Haruto is retarded, along with Asahi

Well I think it should be fine if we have discussion like this, although I admit that the discussion in regard of 'sister enthusiast' was quite out of topic to said it lightly, and not that matter to me but then again it might be matter for some people.

As for the hate for one of MC (Haruto), I rather called Haruto overshadowed because Senri as the MC was bring the fresh breath of air too much compared to usual VN MC, while Haruto was more or less just usual VN MC and his attitude didn't help at all - even though it's sort of justified later. Well, to each of their own.

yeah i agree, Senri was always gonna be the more popular, i doubt many people will like Haruto's dumb sense of justice

 

That Ageha character on Senri's story though, she dresses like she belongs in a nukige (and the collector on Haruto's side i guess)

Just started this, never read a VN where u choose what part of the story u read and where there are 2 male protags lol

 

seems interesting so far and translation is fine, so why is there such a big discussion about it lol

[What VN's Have You Stalled On? Or Outright Dropped?]

Its rare that i 100% a VN, i usually skip routes of characters i hate or the loli routes (not my thing ;c). Examples would be i never did Makina's route in Grisaia, I cntlred through the whole of Chisato's route in Koichoco (seriously most annoying childhood friend ever) and ignored the Kouhai route (forgot the name), I've also stopped SakuSaku after reading 2 routes (kouhai and student president routes) cuz the protagonist stinks and many more which i dont remember lol 

 

About VNs that i got and currently stalled would be Tokyo Babel (Its huuuugeee....but i heard its good, premise seems intriguing) Princess Evangile W Happiness(i started on the presidents route i think but got bored halfway, i still have it installed though). I was also looking to start reading Steins Gate but never finding the right opportunity for it yet, maybe soon!

I'm about halfway through like 10 different VNs. I have a problem.

You gotta finish it Cro's route is so good and she's adorable

seconded, i really enjoyed Chrono Clock, its much better than most Moeges

[In your opinion, do visual novels portray romance realistically]

Hell no

 

who wants to read realistic romance? That'd be aids, there'd probably be a divorce or 3 in every VN

[Sol Press also happened to make a VN licensing survey today]

I always ask for Akatsuki no Goei and White Album 2, there others but i usually dont remember their exact names lol

As for LNs, wouldnt mind seeing Classroom of the Elite localized or maybe even B-Group Shounen, both has those akabeisoft type MCs ;P

[Your experience of "the visual novel entry barrier"]

See an anime---> Ending was shit----> Feel bad for days----> Found out there is a translated version of it as a visual novel--->Tries it out

 

and now i'm hooked, though dont read as much as i did at first but still around 5+ vns each year

@littleshogun

I was about to say the same exact thing. It's not the worst adaptation though. Da Capo 3's is far worse.

man idk what the DC3 adaptation even was, they did 1 and 2 so much better 

 

though DC3 is a boring game, never finished it 

[The Broadcast Club: VN Podcast Episode 9 - Adult Content in Visual Novels]

Not gonna lie, i usually dont fully read any ero-scenes in VNs unless maybe if its a heroine i really really liked but even then if there's more than one per heroine i sometimes just press Ctrl through it altogether since by that point i probably just wanna know where the story is going.

 

Thats why i liked the way Chrono Clock did its H-scenes, its completely separate and the drama in the end wasnt interrupted by a random ero scene and when i finished the game and went and read those it felt a bit more satisfying

As for that, I think you could treat the anime adaptation of Kajitsu as Kajitsu True route, because they managed to show of how Yuuji managed to somehow help five girls. Keep in mind that the story was rushed though, so maybe you wouldn't enjoy that compared to the VN.

Speaking of Anime, adaptations of Meikyuu and Rakuen are pretty good might be one of the best VN adaptations out there even 

 

just forget Kajitsu 

[How do you feel about VN's with Gameplay aspects?]

I have never and will probably never play a VN that has RPG elements in it, like Dergonu says i wanna read and relax

Same

thats ironic since the best route in that game is the true route

 

only Hisoka comes anywhere close to that actually

Based on some reports from someone else on the restoration project, there is a chance they still made slight changes to lines hinting at sex having occured etc, so some dialogue might have been censored as well. (Though to a much smaller extent compared to previous Moenovel releases.) 

If this is the case, we will probably re-translate those lines on top of the H. (For the people who did not know, we are currently working on a restoration patch for this game.) 

I did not know about the restoration project, nice

 

yeah actually now that you mention it there is no 'hints' or any lines that says that the MC and the heroine did it so it was probably cut, but it didnt feel too unnatural atleast liek IMHHW

[A Sky Full of Stars - How is it really?]

I pirated this because fck Moenovel and read 2 routes, its...okay i guess but unless you like Astronomy you'd find it a chore to read, i had to skip a lot of stuff when they were explaining about Stars and shit 

 

as for character routes, the 2 i did were okay...there are too many 'Childhood friends' here for my liking lol instead of Korona why not give that route to the Sensei? Why put that in FD ;c

 

 

The positives are they trimmed down on the censorship to just the ero scenes, so the bath scene kiss scenes are all intact and the translation is not machine done...

 

 

[Where and how do you purchase your visual novels?]

I like to keep my steam library free of VNs because reasons 

[Unrated Eden of Grisaia released at last!]

Just wanted to say i finally finished it, that was a much longer read than i thought, Meikyuu was easily 10-15 hrs Rakuen seemed to be around 20 or maybe even more 

Both stories had a nice balance between serious and comedy, Meikyuu's begining was a pretty harsh read but after Asako got introduced it got a whole lot better

 

Oh yeah i also read the 2 Meikyuu afterstories, funnily enough Yuuji is voiced in Grisaia no Zankou, wish they did the same for Rakuen lol

[grisaia sequel question]

I mean the routes were just him getting intimate with one of the girls and solving their problems, the anime shows how he could solve their issues without getting romantically involved and not really that far-fetched that he was able to do it

Only took them 9 months since the censored version. Good job, Sekai Project... Good job...

But hey, at least the game is out now. For anyone who played the all-ages version, I strongly recommend you play this version as well. The literal ending is cut out of the steam version, kek. (No like, seriously, it is. ) Best part is SP not telling people this anywhere. Good stuff.

Can't wait to read this one again. It's been like, what, 2 years since I read the games for the first time? Phew... I feel old. (/ω＼)

Thats why i waited a year, now i can finally play Meikyuu and Rakuen together 

 

Gonna be gud

So just to summarize what people have said about this TL from MoeNovel: Everything is 100% original to the Japanese version, except the H scenes. No other content gating. Is this accurate? So it seems that the only thing missing is an 18+ patch, otherwise this steam release is on par with how Sekai and Mangagamer do things. Please let me know if this is correct.

i am playing it and yeah, even the bath scene is intact the TL is much better though they are messing with first name and last names for some reason....

If you're ok missing a certain, short scene in Leyline 2, sure.
But if you're going with All ages for Leyline 1, you'll probably be going all ages for Leyline 2 as well, so I guess it wouldn't matter.

it really REALLY does not matter, it does not even add anything to the romance
