+StrikeR+

I'm pretty sure it is unlocked from the beginning... if I recall correctly, it is actually a selection in the config menu where you can automatically win the battles, though it has been two or three years, so I might be wrong.

I'm not sure if it's the same way in all three parts. I think it should work always in Ryuuki no Taimou which is the one I'm currently playing, but I'm not sure about Son Go no Ketsumyaku anymore and I haven't even played Souten no Haou yet.

I think the battles can be skipped if you don't want to play them. But they also shouldn't be too difficult - at least for the first half of each part. I also had the impression that the 'blue ball' formation (I think it enhances your special abilities) seemed pretty strong - at least in Ryuuki no Taimou.

i guess you should tell them it's kirikiriz... a naughty looking one, probably a custom encryption in a tpm

Unfortunately it doesn't really mean much to me, it's one side of a paulownia (tree) or something like that. The only thing I can say about this name is that it just happens to be the name of a heroine in Nukitashi as well.

It helps if you show us how it's written. The meaning is often altered according to the kanji chosen, and even then it doesn't always have a clear meaning.

With my limited knowledge of Japanese, I might not be giving an accurate answer. I typed katagiri and used a couple suggestions from IME to fill in the kanji in Jisho.
This is what I got. https://jisho.org/search/片桐 https://jisho.org/search/片切
Someone might be able to give a better answer, though.

Like Hanako from Kawata Shoujo?

Hello,

Thank you for your encouragement ^^.

As for the image editor, I guess the most important task is changing the Japanese text in the images to English. There are a lot of images with text in this game such as the tutorials, the God Medals (skills), the stages, etc.
While ZAP has already released an interface patch for the game with most of the images translated, there are some mistakes in there. I want to fix those mistakes and have the remaining images translated for my patch.

Hello,
As mentioned in the update post above, I've finished with the game on Lavirie's route. With that said, there are still a lot of other untranslated I have to work on.
As for whether or not the patch will be released within this year, well... I hope so? I'll try my best to have the full patch ready within this year.
As for the images, I'm not very well-versed in image editing so I can't say if it's going to simple or not XD. But well, from what I've seen, some of the texts in the images have their own text boxes so they should be quite simple? As for the other, they may require some redraw since they're right on top of the images? I can't say for sure though.
If you want, I can send you some images for you to look at?

Hello everyone,
I'm here with the first update of this year .
I've finished my first playthrough of Kami no Rhapsody. And that also means I've finished translating the game on Lavirie's route (Yay!)
Now, I'll go through my second playthrough for Mistoria's route, the appends and the New Game+ contents. I'll take this chance to translate the information screen and some other side texts as well.
On a different note, I can't believe I've been doing this for a year already lol. At first, it was just a small project I started to improve my Japanese. But now, it has become a full project aiming to release a full patch for the game XD. Well, I'm having fun so I guess it all worked out ?
In any case, I'm very grateful that there are so many people supporting this project. I'll try my best to give you the patch you've all been waiting for (hopefully, within this year )

That's about it this time.
Thank you very much for reading and for your support over the last year. Though it's a bit late, Happy New Year everyone ^^.

You've already done what could be considered the 'best' route because in Tsukishima's one, minor spoilers-
 
Also since you mention childhood friend, the one in "If you love me then say so" is one of the best i've read 
 
 
seems so, even in Giniro Haruka from what i've read, they've learnt from their mistakes in Hatsukoi (although MC in that is apparently too flawless) 

Unfortunately you can't, because it'll broke your PC/laptop. That said, I think Yukino's after story here did sort of redeem the route here, although obviously you can only enjoy that after all the route thing is over. Also apparently Tone Work's did REALLY get the note on HatsuKoi's bad reception, so they decided to improve childhood friend as hard as possible and I think you can see their effort in Marika's route at Hoshiori later if you compared it with Yukino's route.

Another Eushully Fan here, thank you very much for your effort into this VN i'm really looking forward to it, best of luck!
 
PS: Out of curiosity what does the image editor exactly have to do ?

Hello everyone,
Here's an update on how things are going.

For the translation, I've finished with chapter 8 and is now working on chapter 9. I think about 40-50% of chapter 9 has been translated.
For the translation check, Danywar is still working on chapter 1. The progress has been a bit slow since he's quite busy irl.
Other than that, we've finally found an editor for the project! Danywar has asked his friend, a writer, to help us with editing the script.
Now, we only need to find an image editor and the team will be complete.

That's about it for this update.
Thank you for reading and see you next time ^^.

Hello everyone,
I'm back with another progress update.

The translation for chapter 8 is now under way. Currently, about 10-15% of the script has been translated.
As for the translation check, Danywar is continuing with his work on chapter 1.

We've been quite busy so there hasn't been much progress, but I'll try my best to work on it whenever I can get some free time.

I think that's about it this time.
Thank you for reading and see you next time ^^.

Hello everyone,
I'm back with another progress update.
About the translation, I've finished with the translation of chapter 7, just in time for it to still be within this month XD. I'll start working on chapter 8 soon.
As for the translation check, Danywar has already gone through the prologue. He's currently working on chapter 1, with about 10-15% of it already done.
After all the good news, there's the bad news. We still haven't been able to find an Editor or Image Editor yet. I'll try my best to assemble the whole team as soon as possible. For now, please wait a little longer.
Of course, whether or not the team is fully assembled, we'll continue working on our own parts. Worst case scenario, we'll put some kind of edit in ourselves and release the patch XD. But well, let's hope it won't come to that.
I think that's about it for this update.
Thank you for reading and see you next time ^^.

Hello everyone,
I'm back with another small update.
First of all, about the translation, I'm about half-way through chapter 7. If things go well, I may be able to finish chapter 7 within this month.
Secondly, and probably the more important news of the two, Danywar has joined the team as the Translation Checker. Since my Japanese is still not very good yet, his addition will surely improve the quality of the translation.
I think that's about it for this update.
See you ^^.

Well, you don't have to join the team to help me. Seeing you coming here, encouraging me like this is plenty of support already. Knowing that there are people looking forward to the completion of the project is what motivates me to continue working on it ^^.
So, thank you very much for your encouragement. I don't know when I'll update the patch, but I'll make sure it's worth the wait once I do update it. Please look forward to it ^^.

Yes. I've already translated the prologue and chapter 1-6. With that said, they aren't fully translated yet. Since I'm playing the game as well, I don't want to get too much spoilers. Because of that, I only translated the route that I chose, which at the moment is Lavirie. When I start New Game +, I'll translate Mistoria's route while going over all of my translation once more. While I do try to get everything, there may also be texts that I've missed.
The append is also not yet available for me since I'm only on my first playthrough, so most of them aren't translated. Iirc, the only part of the Append that is translated is the Loser's Maze.
As for the total amount of chapters, based on the scripts, there is a total of 10 chapters, 11 if we count the prologue as well.

Hello everyone.

Before going into the project, here's some information regarding the game:
- Kami no Rhapsody (https://vndb.org/v16341) is a VN/SRPG hybrid by the company Eushully, the same company that made Kamidori Alchemy Meister.

Finally, here's the link to the full patch:
MEGA link: https://mega.nz/#F!MstRHI6S!bQVaRTSLnwQPNjYuCJKfpw
The full patch has been released. However, there are still some minor texts that I couldn't find, so they're still untranslated. With that said, they're just some minor texts and won't impact your experience with the game.
Do note that our patch does not include any of the game updates, so you'll have to update them separately. All of the game's updates and appends are translated in our patch though.
Now, with the release of this patch, we won't be focusing on KnR anymore. The patch also won't get update unless there are some game-breaking bugs. Instead, we'll now focus on our other projects.
With that said, please contact us if you encounter crash or any other problem. We'll try to fix it as soon as possible (and if it's related to our patch XD).

This is everything from me for now. If you took your time to read that wall of text, thank you very much. Even if you didn't, thank you for showing enough interest to click on the thread.

See you!

In my case I gravitated towards Erika because she was most in line with the way I thought and felt about things. Also yes, you were the only one that liked that ending, but don't worry Shou's winter will come at some point, be sure to check back in the next three years.
I go for a certain type of character I guess you can say, and if they are in whatever weird parameters I set for myself I'll probably always have intense thoughts and feelings associated with them. The characters I'm most interested in remind me of someone I'll probably always hold close to my heart. In the end I'm a bit sad when their story ends like I would after having finished a really good book.
I think it would be more interesting to think of taking over the mind of a protag and living out their ambitions rather than just bringing said waifu to your world. But for that it's less out of my intense love of a character but my intense hate or apathy for the dense and stupid protag. I just know I could do it better. Watch out which one you choose though cuz those dense fuckers have no idea what birth control is.

My favorite characters ? Hmm... i like the fighter, or underworld type that's generally feared and aggressive, but actually has quite a dere side to her (i guess Ai from Tsujidou-san Jun'Ai road falls right into this one). Another one i like is one with yandere vibes, but not over the top bat shit crazy like Nishi Mayuko i actually disliked her, more like Akane from Renai Bokun:
 
Other ones i'm really fond are characters like Margit, Tatsuko, Tsubame, Seiso (in her emperor mode) and Lin/Rin, all from the Majikoi series or girls like Nagamitsu Maya From Noble Works, she was my favorite in that VN. The ones that i really loved but don't fit into that bad/fighter girl type are Mayuzumi, from Majikoi, or Kotori and Nanaka from D.C.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!
