Fureraba for the over dose of lovey dovey feelings.
Katawa Shoujo for you'll fall in love with them together with the mc. A handful of the characters will definitely stay with you for a long time and you'll learn something for life!
Don't know if you have read em or not. Hope these helps!
Did Katawa Shoujo a million years ago and enjoyed it greatly.
I think I'll go ahead and add fureraba to the list.
Someone else elsewhere suggest Tokyo School Life as short, simple, with love feels. -
Looking for a recommendation of a VN/VN Route that makes you feel loved. Don't care if it's got H-scenes, plot, breaks the 4th wall, or not. I want a heroine that loves you to death and makes you feel warm and fuzzy across the screen. That's just the kinda mood I'm in.
Nekopara and Maitetsu come to mind. Those games are mostly cute girls smiling at you and wanting to get closer to you. The drama is secondary, noone is tsundere-kicking you or treating you like a perv for your interest in...varied young ladies. Decently self-inserty, even though both Soutetsu and Kashou are their own cool enough characters. Something like that. Or like if DDLC just kept going at the end, perhaps. Or if Love Plus didn't require months to play.
English translated preferably. -
Or maybe anything that takes on a DDLG/fatherly protect vibe in general. I don't mean that the MC is the heroine's biological or adoptive father, but I wouldn't be opposed to that either. Perhaps some big brother vibes are similar and I'd appreciate whatever suggestions to think about.
Examples of what I mean and the only two times someone calls MC Papa that I know of:
Grisaia's Makina
Da Capo's SakuraThank you

Okay then, and I'll take a note on that later.
Currently already finished with common route, although right now I wonder whose route that I should take. And unfortunately there's no side routes opinion because we can only took that after finished the main route.
One of my fav VNs, I'll curious who you'll pick first and who you'll like the most.
For me, Hachi's route was the first pick, no brainer; I love AI/Servant heroines.
All my compatriots that played the game went Hibiki first. Makes sense; she's the most strongly advertised in the common route. -
I almost never watch anime, but recently loved Goblin Slayer (Priestess <3) and now somehow got sucked into Nakaimo.
I feel like a trash weeb for enjoying it so much, but I was definitely in the mood for "jealous imoutos". -

If that actually happens, H-scenes would be hell to go through unless it's some godlike VN that makes you love the heroine even if she's ugly.
Face > Pillow
Even if they did communicate ugliness via face, they would probably still have anime-perfect skin and bodies.
I would hope it wouldn't take a God-like intervention for an ugly person to be loved.
That said, I've love to see it. It's really amusing to see a cast respond to an unusual choice by the protag (if he chooses a loli, or those scenes in Grisaia)
I'd love to choose the ugly heroine with the good personality and see it reflected in dialogue in the rest of the game.Probably not going to happen. We have other types of pity-choices already, and there's no reason to make anyone in an anime/vn world anything less than beautiful (unless it's representing otaku-type people/the reader, apparently.)

If only they were actually ugly. That would be super interesting.

> then talks about DDLC
I usually tend to avoid things that are overhyped
My inner hipster tries to rebel and avoid things that are really popular. But I've learned my lesson...they're almost always overly popular for a reason. Now I just want to get carried away in the hype.

Not sure what to call this (memes?). I love when a work has a large following of quality fan created content that really gives you some aftercare after finishing the game.
My prime example is stuff like this video for DDLC:
SpoilerIt increases my enjoyment of that game because this exists, and I can always go back and listen to it to feel some of those feels I felt the first time I played the game, again.
Another example would be Undertale; not a VN, but a game with tons and tons of awesome fan created content that helps you get some closure after playing it and you can use to just celebrate the existence of the game in general.
I'm sure plenty of anime have lots of content like this since they're seen and enjoyed by more people than VNs in general. Are there any VNs that come to mind that have the right kind of popularity to inspire people to create lots of enjoyable content? I'm currently reading through the Fate series and I have a feeling that's gonna be one, but of course I don't dare google it ahead of time for real of spoilers.
Thank you ~ -

The Neptunia series, not quite a VN but rather a hybrid between game and VN. Does have a decent amount of VN style storytelling and lots of 4th wallbreaks.
I enjoyed the heck out of Eiyuu Senki, one of my fav "VNs" ever right now, with its 75+ girl happy harem.
Little Witch Romanesque and Evenicle were also pretty great to me. I shan't be turned off from a VN because of game elements, no sir. -

It's kind of hard to answer this question without spoiling major twists. For non-spoilers, Fault - milestone 2 has one pretty cool 4th wall breaking scene and the Danganronpa series has a lot of 4th wall breaking jokes.
You're right and I was thinking that this entire time. The fact that 4th wall breaking occurs IS a spoiler, probably almost always, in the games where it plays a large part.
But since I'm asking for games with 4th wall breaking, it's impossible for me to avoid that being spoiled in this case. So please feel free to just list game names without giving further information. At least I won't know when or how the 4th wall breaking will occur. -
Just now, Dergonu said:
It didn't occur to me that the 4th wall breaking might be extremely minor. Good that you clarified! I guess I'm looking for something a little larger scale than giving game playing instructions.
-
Could you help me out by listing any fourth wall breaking vns? To avoid spoilers, there's no need to say any details beyond the name of the VN. Although, if you said "This game is good and worth it" or "The 4th wall breaking stuff is enjoyable but the rest of the game is meh" those kinds of vague non-spoilery comments are welcomed and help the selection process. It would also be helpful if you would mention if the game you're listing is untranslated into English.
I'll start us off with the 4th wall breaking games that come to mind:

3rd VN in the Grisaia series has a harem ending.
The main point of Nekopara series is it being a underaged cat harem setting.
Imouto Paradise (apparently).
If My Heart Had Wings has a Loli Twin Harem route....
Hm, I never thought of the cats in nekopara as "underaged". Maybe I just thought of them as short because they're cat people.
I suppose Chocola (and maybe Vanilla) are childlike, and the rest are teenagery.
I definitely get the Wife + Daughter vibe from the game, though, and it's such a cozy, wonderful thing. -
Eiyuu Senki gives you a happy 75+ girl harem. It's more than half a strat rpg though.

So, I am trying to figure out why does Fuwanovel even have VNTL-Moon. I keep hearing on how broken it is apparently. So, why not scrap it? I mean, you cannot even set up RSS feed updates on it at the very least. I can help modernize web page and take care of it. Therefore, users here don't waste their time looking at outdated translation updates on a basic looking web page. I can even probably set up a user notification system for them so they know immediately the translation status of their visual novel.
Also, why do we have VNTS if r/vns is arguably better at notifying users? Fuwanovel users could subscribe for email updates, but translation updates are becoming more and more frequent because anybody who knows Japanese and English well enough can set up a translation project or pick up someone else's failed translation project.
Why does Fuwanovel keep VNTL-MOON and VNTS if they aren't regularly updated or even maintained properly?
Now, I get it. Everybody has lives and they are busy to constantly update. Howbeit, Fuwanovel is home to visual novel fan translations... isn't it? People often come here to create or join translation projects. I literally just joined one with @AlphonseClauze and @waterflame for Eiyuu Gold little over a week ago. People should come to Fuwanovel first for translation updates: not Reddit.
Translation updates are essential to make visual novels popular in the west.
Where can I watch updates for your progress for Eiyuu Gold?

Aiess from Majikoi A2 is legendary. It's perfectly ok to skip the entire 75 hour series and go straight to her route.

SakuSaku and WagaHigh - two pretty good imouto routes.
What's SakuSaku? Is it this?

Imouto routes I've already done:
Hoshimemo: Chinami. Good stuff, loved it.Chrono Clock: Good stuff, loved it.
Everything by Circus: Hate these games, but the imoutos were always good even if their routes weren't.
Nekopara: That poor girl needs her own route.
EF: Why is this game so boring. I can't get far in it. I'd like the imouto if she'd quit hitting me.

I like the obsessive, loyal, jealous part of a yandere and don't really need the murdery bit. I've found enjoyment in related things such as loyal warrior woman type heroines (Meiya from MLA, Ramius from Evenicle) and jealousy or at least reactions among other heroines once you're on a specific heroines route (Grisaia and its KKK scenes, brocon imoutos by the hundreds). Perhaps if you're not into the murdery bits of yandere we're looking for the same thing and could swap notes.
School Days has jealousy, but it's more the soul crushing realistic kind than the cute ego-boosting kind.

My beer is free, so I have little choice. That said I find after drinking one thing over and over I get used to it. I used to like corona. Now corona doesn't taste as good, but coors light tastes fine since I've drank it every day for months.

I recently decided to stock up my cocktail bar again. It's not terribly expensive, at least when you're not a heavy drinker, if you can live with being able to mix a limited variety of drinks at a time and if you don't live in a country with a high alcohol tax (thank you, German beer lobby!). I decided to buy one liquor each month, alternating between base spirits like Gin, Whiskey, Rum,... and complementary stuff like fruit or herbal liquors and bitters.
This year for Christmas I'm making mustard with honey and whiskey as a present for my dad, so I thought this was a good opportunity to spend some money on a more or less proper US whiskey (since they tend to be more cocktail-friendly than Scotch) and bought a bottle of Bulleit Rye. Rye Whiskey is quite hard to find in Germany and most people only know two US whiskeys (Jim Beam and Jack Daniels) so I was really surprised my local supermarket had it in stock. It turns out Rye goes best with rather specific components like absinth or sweet vermouth (which a don't have at home) but it's still a great base for more simple standard whiskey drinks like an Old Fashioned or a Whiskey Sour. One of my absolute favorite drinks is the New York Sour, which is a regular Whiskey Sour topped with a little red wine. It looks and tastes great as the red wine makes the drink more dry and complex and it's even better when you use spicey Rye instead of sweet Bourbon.
It can't be a coincidence that i post for the first time in forever then my thread gets a hit. Musta seen my comment and followed my profile.
You sound so sophisticated that you're making my coors light taste worse. Well, it tastes like water, anyway.

Oops. This is awkward. I actually got really, really, really lucky and survived. So, I felt obligated to say something/give closure.
I now have a new favorite hobby (reading VNs) that synergies great with the other things I enjoy (learning Japanese, watching anime). VNs are the best thing I got out of the near death experience. So, still, and again, thanks for the list. You contributed to the creation of a new lifelong VN reader. Thanks!
