    I quantify an "NTR game" to be something built entirely out of the fetish, so most probably no.

    In this case, then yeah you can wait until Easter. I'm quite sure that they can release Natsuki's patch by Easter if all goess well, or if not then at least Rikka's route should be a good read by then.
    Anyway, today we have surprise release of Rikka's patch in which it's very surprising because they say that they may not be able to have Christmas release, and lo and behold they managed to release it one day before Christmas. Go get the patch here, and enjoy the Christmas gift there. As for the next plan, Trip will took a rest for one or two weeks presumeably for holiday so perhaps we'll going to see the progress at Touko's route at 2019 later. Here's this week update below, even though you may already see it:
    Common: 100.0%
    Sora: 0.0%
    Marika: 100.0%
    Natsuki: 0.0%
    Misa: 100.0%
    Rikka: 100.0%
    Touko: 0.0%
    Total: 54.06%
    That's all for this week update, and merry early Christmas.

    Also, Harukoi Otome (although it isn't that great in itself either way ). Some scenes looked really horrible. But they could brag that it's "uncensored"...

    Ataraxia reacted to Clephas in For Love of a Genre: A list of great Chuuni games   
    My favorite genre, as most of you probably know, is chuuni.  Chuuni is a genre where the protagonist is generally at the center of events, able to effect those events, and the story is generally filled with melodramatic plot and spoken lines, meant to be taken absolutely seriously.  An example of chuuni anime, for example, would be Fate/Zero or Code Geass (to give you an idea of what to look for).  Chuuni comes from the word 'chuunibyou', which is a common stage of development for teenagers, when they desperately want to believe they are more than they are and sometimes even convince themselves they are more than they are.  Many people who get addicted to fantasy and science fiction tend to get addicted during this stage of their lives, and it is also a stage of life that people generally look back on with embarrassment once they get over it.  This is the reason why the Japanese stuck 'byou' onto the end of the word, which has the same kanji as the one for disease, lol. 
     
    For those who simply enjoy fantasy and melodrama for the wild ride it can give, chuuni is pretty much the ultimate genre.  Chuuni also tends to tackle philosophical issues that get left by the roadside as people mature, simply because people start thinking that it is somehow embarrassing or pretentious to consider such issues as if they were the first person to do so ever.  Not to mention that many of the best writers in the otaku industry write chuuni VNs, light novels, and manga.  This is because it is a genre, similar to the ero genre, which simply has none of the limits that other genres tend to put on themselves.
     
    That said, here I am going to put down a list of chuuni VNs, both translated and untranslated, for the reference of fanboys.
     
    Translated
    Muv-luv Alternative
    Fate/stay Night
    Tsukihime
    Comyu (partly translated)
    Eien no Aselia
    Yumina
    Kagetsu Tooya
    Phantom of Inferno
    Demonbane
    G-Senjou no Maou (yes, it is chuuni, and even though I don't personally like this game, it is nonetheless a technically good game)
    Sharin no Kuni
    Sekien no Inganock
    Rewrite (yes, it is chuuni... it was deliberately written to be chuuni)
    Umineko no Naku Koro ni
    Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
    Shikkoku no Sharnoth
    Soul Link
    Grisaia no Kajitsu
    Cross Channel
    Koihime Musou
    Ayakashibito
     
    Understand, I'm mostly listing all of these to give you a sense of just how wide the chuuni genre is.  While games like Comyu, Tsukihime, and FSN are most commonly labeled as such, games such as Sharin no Kuni and G-Senjou can be included for their degrees of melodrama, complex plot twists and turn-arounds, and attempts at hedge philosophy.  This should also tell you that a lot of translators are hidden chuuni fans, to one degree or another.  If nothing else, chuuni games are full of content that is well-considered and thought out, which tends to attract those with the passion and interest for translation.  To an extent, games like Hoshizora no Memoria also have chuuni elements, albeit not strongly enough to consider them primarily as chuuni games.

    There are a few genres that chuuni is almost completely incompatible with, such as 'original' or pure moege, but to make a good story, with decent drama, it is almost impossible to avoid putting something with chuuni elements in it.  The truest sign of chuuni influence is melodrama, after all.  Even the nakige genre has chuuni influences, as can be seen in Clannad and Air, (the reincarnation issues in Air, and the general melodramatic emotion-pulling that made Clannad so popular).  For the fun of it, try picking up chuuni elements in your favorite anime and video games.  Don't bother with jrpgs though, since those things are mostly straight chuuni, lol.

    This list won't feature the VNs in order of "how good they are". Rating them would be way too much of a clusterfuck to me.
    The VNs are not in their respective order. Meaning number 1 is not the best, and so on.

    This Visual Novel is the easiest visual novel translated to get a bad ending without using a walkthrough- which just adds to the fun of it. It makes a massive amount of references to common literature, which makes it even better.
     
    6_Katahane
    It may seem like an ordinary moege- the atmosphere is light, the story is full of cuteness, which you can note by the character design and soundtrack. It gets really good in the middle, and you'll be dying to know what happens in the end. A game with multiple perspectives, it's definitely one of the most enjoyable Visual Novels I've ever read.

    13_Sekien no Inganock
    Steampunk. An atmosphere full of mysteries and references that will make your head blow up.

    A visual novel that deals extensively with time travel and it's consequences.

    Another top 10.
     
    22_Remember11
    It lacks in the ending, but otherwise the story of this VN has enough to easily become one of my all-time favorites.
     
    23_Zanmataisei Demonbane
     
    24_Rewrite
    "Could it possibly be rewritten, this fate of hers?"
    Another one that enters the top 10.
     
    25_Narcissu
     
    26_Grisaia no Kajitsu
     
    27_Saya no Uta
    Only if you enjoy dark and messed up settings.
     
    28_Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni
     
    29_Eien no Aselia
     
    30_Rose Guns Days (1 & 2)
    There are small sections of gameplay on this one, but you can skip them by pressing the space bar, so this still qualifies.
     
    31_Sengoku Rance
    I feel obliged to comment on this VN before suggesting it to anyone. It's an Alicesoft title, which speaks a lot for itself... If you don't know how it's going to be like, well.. Kind of tough to describe. Lots of sex, including comedy rape. Alicesoft tends to make the whole story a comedy until right near the end, where things actually do get serious. It's worth checking out, if you don't mind Rance's personality. 
     
    32_Phenomeno
    Want a short VN that can captivate you for their whole duration? Here is it.
    Visual novel adapted from the youth horror novel written by Hajime Ninomae and illustrated by yoshitoshi ABe.
     
    33_Ef- A Fairy Tale of the Two
     
    34_Dysfunctional Systems
    Another one great for those who want short Visual Novels.
     
    35_Daibanchou
    Another Alicesoft title. While Rouga is not near Rance's level when it comes to pissing off people, alicesoft's style is something which often doesn't please people. 
    36_Yume Miru Kusuri
    The endings pack quite a punch.
     
    37_Kikokugai- The Cyber Slayer
     
    38_Eden 
     
    39_Hoshizora no Memoria
     
    40_Katawa Shoujo
    Yep, it's somewhat overrated. Still, the fact that it is substantially easier for those who are starting to play visual novels to read should not be discarded, and overall, the story was good.
     
    41_World End Economica
     
    42_YU-NO
     
    43_Shikkoku no Sharnoth
    Yep, there is a minigame on this one. If you download a save data you can skip the minigame, though. So it still qualifies. Another VN that enters my top 10.
     
    44_Muv Luv Alternative
    The first Muv Luv didn't have enough to enter this list. You should still read it, though~
    MLA is definitely awesome.
