Ah, I didn't read School Days either... my brain automatically edits all mention of the game or anime from my consciousness when I'm not concentrating, lol.
-
I haven't read them all... but I've read most of them. Exceptions are Katahane, Symphonic Rain, Never 7, Dysfunctional Systems, and Deardrops. With all of those it was a lack of interest, more than anything else. That goes especially for Never 7 (as the only game in that series I actually enjoyed was Ever17).

I don't know much of what the LNs you are talking about are like. It looks like your straight fantasy/action series, but since I haven't read them, I don't know for sure.

*does unspeakable things to nosebleed's loli with a spork, a pickle, and seven bottles of chocolate sauce, but just waves at the yuri-lolis with a smile before tossing them a few 'toys' and leaving them to it*

Comyu, though amaterasu is taking a rest from the translation right now.
-
*looks sad, because he can't do evil things to a loli* Welcome to Fuwa.
-
*uses his evil powers to make the loli instinctively despise and want to obliterate lolicons, chuckling maniacally* Welcome...
-
*vanishes with the loli for a few minutes, then returns with a beautiful young woman in her twenties who vaguely resembles the loli, leaving her for kanaimouto* Welcome...
-
*accidentally devours the lolis along with the donuts and fails to notice* Welcome...

If there are no live torrents, I suggest copy-pasting the Japanese letters from the vndb page into the search box on Anime-sharing... a live ddl is bound to pop up, considering Togainu is translated, as I recall. This is the rule of thumb for the downloading of any non-commercially localized VN, if there is no live torrent. Though, most of the time fans keep the downloads alive somewhere. I haven't played a translated VN in almost four years though, lol.

*turns in the loli slave-traders to the police and gives the lolis to CPS* Welcome...
-
*looks innocent, even as he flips suspicious-looking steaks on a wire net over a coal stove*

Actually, I think name-changes aren't a good idea, though title changes are fine. If you (Tay) were to suddenly change your name, I wouldn't know i wanted to listen to what you had to say. In reverse to the more common line of thought, I think that people should be able to change their names... up to fifty posts. When they pass fifty posts, they should lose the ability to change their name, in exchange for the right to change their title. That way, they can exercise their creative urges without confusing people who want to be able to identify them and their posts.
Stipulation: If the name itself is somehow problematic or becomes offensive later, allow them to change it on a case-by-case basis.

Dude, there is no way I can say anything about this game without giving it away. It's a nakige, but If I go into the details I can guarantee you'll want to kill me later. Just enjoy it. Don't look at it like one of Key's games though... for one thing, it isn't very comedic. I don't recall laughing much during the course of the game, though I do remember crying. I remember it as an emotionally-moving story, especially the shinigami's path.

It is a good game. Have fun, yall.

*uses a magical beam that turns the loli into your standard kyonyuu osananajimi* Welcome.
-
*wonders if aliens taste good with garlic* Welcome... *licks his lips*
-
*plants a seed in the loli's hair which turns it into tendrils of vines that seek to suck the life from anyone who gets close to her* Welcome.

Glad you found joy here. You never know what is going to break the ice for you, but when it does crack, you shouldn't hesitate to recognize (in the sense of actively considering it) it for what it is, even if only inside your own mind. Also, one of the main reasons I can't stand a lot of religious types is because that instant switch to judge/jury when it comes to sexual issues and that tendency to think that it was the woman's fault for getting raped. It is always the man's fault, as he is the one who decides not to resist the dominance impulse that most males of our species possess. That decision to only regard an individual as a tool to satisfy one's urges (sexual and otherwise) is dehumanizing and unforgivable. The decision by a community to get up on a high horse and regard the girl as being at fault, while ignoring their own faults is a sign that not one of them actually took to heart their own savior's teachings on compassion. I'll stop here, because I find less... judicious words coming to the fore. I'm not a very nice person, but I do know better than to treat a victim as if they were the assailant.

*injects the loli with a mysterious substance that causes her to grow tentacles* welcome.

Jingai Makyou it is. For those awaiting their tlcs, I've been working all day for the past few days, save for a few breaks, so I haven't had time. I'll be able to finish them sometime tomorrow, so I appreciate your patience. (Edit: I'm currently smashed by rl issues, so I'm going to delay the next entry until next week... I have six papers to write, three tests to take, and a ton of work to do.)

Romance VNs are one thing you'll never run short of... I suggest Komorebi no Nostalgia if you can read Japanese.
-
*dances the welcome dance in sync with the rhythm of the song, laughing maniacally for no particular reason*

What the hell is this thread? 0.o
A Fuwanovel forums member introduction thread. *looks at solidbatman incredulously, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world*

Humans are weak. For once, I don't say this in a manner meant to express my own, generally cynical, way of looking at human nature in general. I say this rather to emphasize a simple reality we tend to forget when we get caught up in our immediate problems and issues, buried in the minutiae of our daily lives and the suffering and despair swirling in our souls... human beings are terrible at dealing with problems without some kind of 'support' to keep them on their feet.
In my case, it was the distraction of books first, then adding games and anime later on, with VNs being my latest addiction. For others, it is the presence of someone who cares. For others, it is the existence of someone who is worse off than themselves (a disgusting way of comforting yourself, but that's humankind for you). For yet others, it is a community like this one, a thin thread that leads you to others who share a common interest or quality with you.
People need something to depend on, just to remain sane at times. Supportive words from another human being when you are at your worst is often all it takes to help you retain something resembling a healthy psyche. Alone, without such supports, humans break down in a ridiculously short period of time.
I'm sure that there are people who can remain sane and stable with only their own thoughts for company. However, such people fall into the realms of living saints and madmen, so expecting such of yourself is harsh and fundamentally ridiculous.
If a community like this can grant you a form of salvation, then there is nothing wrong with it. A sense of commonality is often the only thing that keeps us from going over the edge. There is no shame in any of this. If anyone says otherwise, they are either a sociopath (an individual incapable of comprehending empathy and its necessity for both the giver and receiver), an ideologue (thus being fundamentally incapable of admitting when they are wrong or accepting the truth of opposing ideas), or a liar.
Oddly, Naomi, it is confessions like this that often remind me that I'm not any of those three, sad as that is. Empathy and the desire for it are often all that separates a human from a monster wearing a human's skin.
