Welcome to Fuwanovel, and if you want to say something in regard of VN just say it here. Of course you could get involved in here as well, and hope you enjoy yourself.
Devs have all the right in the world to hate fantranslations or try to block them, no matter how unfair it looks from our point of view or how wrong he is about it affecting his bottom line.
It's better to focus on the one thing he's definitely not wrong about and that's SakuraGame being cancer, when it goes to their business practices and the quality of their publishing. It's not that VNs have any prestige to lose in the West, but what they do definitely doesn't help. :s
Hey,
I'm a bit of a newbie when it goes to visual novels, but recently I've got sucked in in major way and started exploring the genre with basically all my free time (shared mostly with watching anime). I'm a huge fan of western-made and indie VNs, especially those made by small teams or being personal passion projects. While obviously main-stream Japanese novels are in different league when it goes to quality and scale, I love experiencing those smaller projects, with all their clunkiness and quirks connected to the specific author. Also, there are quite a few hidden gems among those VNs, that people often reject as "cheap imitations" without giving them a proper chance.
I'm also a huge fan of yuri and a bit of a graphomaniac, compulsively writing VN reviews on Steam. And a dirty casual, who just recently started learning Japanese and trying to learn a bit more from his Otaku hobbies. I also have a weird ambition to become a contributor to the main site, but somehow no one returns my e-mails. :C
I hope I won't be very annoying and I'm looking forward to get a bit more involved on this forum, after my time of silent lurking.
