So, I honestly don't even know where to begin with this post or how to structure it effectively. I've given so many thank you messages to all sorts of Fuwanovel members that it hardly seems like this will be any different. Still, I feel like I need to write something because even to this day I don't think a lot of people understand how thankful I am for all of the patience and amazing people on and around this website.
 
Truth be told, I am a pretty lazy person when it comes to keeping a lot of my obligations for the site of Fuwanovel. Maybe that's why a lot of people gave up on the games I was running awhile back. Dealing with stress is hard to deal with because a lot of promises were broken when I started piling up a lot of shipments for giveaways that I wanted to get done a lot earlier in the year. Does my personal life and figurine collecting play a major role in that? Of course it does, but it's not like I was trying to do that from the get go - I genuinely do feed off other people's happiness, and it has and always will be my intention to make members of this site (both old and new) happy.
 
Still, all of you stuck by me in the end, and to this day you still accept me as a highly regarded member of this site. It feels selfish really. Is it fair to let people think so highly of me in certain instances? Not everyone likes me and my attitude, but even through all of the fooling around and trolling I do with long time veterans of this site, I still love a lot of these people like family. So with that said, I wanted a way to thank all of you once again for always sticking by my during my time of need and for always, always supporting me.
 
For those of you wondering what is up, I have decided to leave Japan and end my job a little earlier than anticipated in order to pursue further education (in October to be exact). In addition, being near my family during a certain time is also something I really want to be doing. Because of that, I thought it would be a good chance to say thank you. So here it is, a list to all of those I cannot thank enough on and around this website. Thanks again Fuwanovel.

And with that, thank you again Fuwanovel. Thank you for being so patient with me as a member, for putting up with all the negative shit I carry, and above all, for being a place I always love coming to even in the worst of times. I love you all, and I won't ever stop saying that.
 
See you in the future!
 
Finally...
 
To all of you, to every single member of Fuwanovel, I want you to know that no matter where life takes you, remember this: Fuwanovel is, and will always be, your home. I, along with many other people, am always here to support you in your dreams and hope that life takes you to stars.
 
Thank you so much for everything.

AKA: Patch release

 
After several months of delay and real life making us busy, we're finally proud to present you with the full English translation for Lilium x Triangle.
 
While it took longer than we predicted it would take (by a few months) we could at least make sure that the quality was up to standards as much as possible. Everyone who worked on this went over the translation and hundreds of adjustments were made until we finally got to where we're at.
 
As the first visual novel translation project I ever started and went through with, I am really happy with the way things have come along and I have learned quite a great deal of things throughout the course of this journey which have definitely made me better in the translation field.
 
Today is my birthday but I'm happy to be giving everyone a present instead, which in itself is also something I wanted to see done so it works both ways here. And I swear I didn't attempt to time it, it was a coincidence~
 
I really appreciate the help everyone in the team gave, all of these people volunteered to help and offer their free time to make this project come true and without them it really wouldn't have been the same.
 
Enough with the rambling though, I'm sure you wanted the patch by now so here it is.
All the instructions and stuff are in the Patch Notes file.
If you find any problems in the patch somewhere, please do post it here so we can fix it.
 
Amazing people who worked on this:
Project Lead/Translator: Nosebleed Translation Checker: rainsismyfav Editor:  Ryechu Quality Control:  qt panzer Hacker:  binaryfail  
I hope you enjoy this short little yuri game, it's no masterpiece but I think it's charming enough for what it is and everyone who worked on it quite liked it, and maybe this will spark the interest in translating more yuri games, and hey at least we got this done in less than a year amirite?
 
So there you have it, maybe one day I'll start another translation project similar to this one, but for now it's time to focus on college and do something else.
 
And last but not least, Yuuna best gril.

I was bored. I did this. This was probably a terrible idea but LMFAO wHo cAREAS HAHA Xd. Yeah my mic is a potato, hope you enjoy it. (✿◠‿◠)
 

I like pie.
 
------------------------------------
I enjoy reading shoujo manga a lot (I don't look like the type IRL)
 
but no really, I like pie.

A video letting everyone know how thankful I am (seriously) for everything people do. Not only for me, but for everyone on and around this site. Even if your name is not in the video, it does not mean I don't appreciate everything you do. Thank you so much for being such awesome friends.
 

Random Update 5

Translation progress: 2,400/2,995 lines (80%)
Common route: Complete (Editing)
Yuna's route: Complete
Sana's route: 1/3 done
 
Next update hopefully will be the big 100%
After that I have some TLC to do in certain parts. I'll also be replaying the game and checking if a lot of things match, particularly in H-scenes.
But editing is being done already, I've made sure to signal what needs TLC and what doesn't so Ryechu knows what to do.
Overall, things are looking good.

I'm really bad at writing so I just bs-ed whatever came out of my head. It could have been fleshed out more but ehhh
 
One day Gangamamer fell from the sky and landed in a place called Visnovella. It did not recall what they were doing prior to the fall but once it got there, it was surrounded by land, lots of land. Gangamamer was actually a dragon but for some reason, became a human when it fell to Visnovella. Once it got up, it noticed a person beside them, a small girl with lilac hair. After awhile, the girl woke up and was startled to see Gangamamer staring at her so intently. The girl spoke, "umm...who are you...?" Gangamamer dropped on the group immediately after, dying from what we readers would refer to as "moe". After calming down, Gangamamer got up and responded to the girl "I'm...uh...Gangamamer...I don't know what happened but somehow we ended up in...Visnovella? Anyways, who are you?". The girl with a confused look on her face responded, addressing herself as Meo. Gangamamer and Meo decided that if they wanted to adapt to their new lives, they would need to stick together. So after calming down, the two decided to travel across Visnovella to understand what was going on.
 
During their travels, they encountered lots of evil beings that were in the form of books. These weren't ordinary books, but books that had the ability to trap them in their world for eternity. To defeat these monsters, they had to fight and defeat the characters in the stories to leave. When they fought their first opponent, the Big Lusters! the two discovered that they had special powers. Meo had the power to use magic, defeating the enemies easily with her magic while Gangamamer's power was the power to throw pantsu over their opponents head. Of course, the readers are thinking "wtf this guys a pervert" but little did they know these pantsu were special pantsu. Once these pantsu handed on their heads, the opponents would have their energy drained with Gangamamer absorbing it all for itself. Once the two defeated the Big Lusters!, the two continued their adventures in Visnovella, adapting to their new lifestyles.
 
They encountered many opponents such as the QQQ and Sekai Seifuku to name a couple. During their adventures, the two bonded, getting to know each more. Meo and Gangamamer were close that the two decided to never leave each others side though Meo sometimes questioned how she could put up with Gangamamer's crazy tactics. Timeskip to months later, the two finally reached the last part of Visnovella, the Hatcave. Once the two went inside, they saw a man sitting on a throne welcoming the two. The man referred to himself as Hatman, the one who brought the two to Visnovella. Gangamamer asked "...why did you bring us here". After a moment of silence, Hatman got up and used his Hat power to shoot the two. Taken by surprise, the two were shot and fell on the ground. Suddenly Hatman shouted..."HAHAHHAHA just as keikaku" Hatman was actually a crazy man who brought adventurers to Visnovella to steal their powers once they reached the Hatcave. Gangamamer and Meo who were barely conscious were shocked at the revelation, they had been used by Hatman the entire time for his evil deeds. Just went all hope was lost, Gangamamer suddenly got his dragon powers back, transformed into his real form and with Meo regained their confidence back. blah blah blah after two seconds of being depressed, the two combined their powers and defeated Hatman, yatta yatta. Gangamamer lost his powers after the battle.
 
Once Hatman was defeated, the two could have returned to their own worlds but decided to stay in Visnovella, because they didn't want to be separated from one another. So the two travelled around the Visnovella and after some time, settled in the village of PASTA. Did they live happily after ever...uhhh Gangamamer died from pantsu overload a few years later and Meo became a yandere so we'll just say they did...?

It was like a Where's Waldo puzzle

I'm so bad at this shit.
 

Since I got tired wrestling with a ton of stuff, and I have no Imagination, here it is:
Omitted: Hidamari Sketch, Atelier Shallie hype, stuff I didn't steal from other sources, a blanket for his' illness, Persona, Pancakes, Little Busters, platinum disco, m.m.

I honestly don't like this attitude from MangaGamer. They got burned on ef not because it was fan translated first, but because they completely failed to adequately market it. ef was a lightly popular anime, they could have tried to get fans of the show to pay attention to the VN release, but they didn't. They could have tried to push it to fans of romance as it's a fairly serious romance title, but they didn't. They could have advertised it at common otaku sites like 4chan, but they didn't. They did literally no external advertising for it whatsoever and only told people about it through their own site and newsletters. No shit it failed. They now use this negative experience to campaign against fan translations in general, claiming they hurt the industry. The failings are on their end. When JAST is given a fan translation, they polish the hell out of it and release it better than ever before (the ef script was barely changed in the MG release) and advertise the hell out of it. You could see Saya no Uta ads at a lot of common otaku-frequented sites. MangaGamer should exercise some self-reflection before criticising others. 
 
Their message pretty much comes off as "please stop". Not "don't translate titles from our partners" but "don't release any complete patches for any VNs at all because it makes contract negotiations hard". Meanwhile, Doddler, their twitter idol, is working with Arudoc to release complete translations for multiple games, Maria is working on a complete Rance Quest fan patch, and Cafe ostensibly will finish Aoire Rinne some day. The behavior of their own staff goes against what they say. They should either get their own ducks in a row before standing on a soapbox or shut up, preferably the latter.
 
I will also say that fan translations obviously have very many benefits for the industry. They suggest that all fan translators only translate trials. I would have never read my first eroge, Fate/Stay Night, if there was only a trial patch available. I would never have given any eroge company a penny of my money if it wasn't for multiple complete translation patches that drew my attention. The industry is still so niche that it can't survive without a thriving fan scene. I can guarantee that MangaGamer would be nowhere if fan translations weren't around and they'd be in serious trouble in the future if all fan translations suddenly ceased. They may seem like an evil to MangaGamer, but at the very least they're a necessary evil as they provide the lifeblood of the industry.

The dreaded Pure Girls Project is back again...
 
Wake up, first song I get is PGP. I'm thinking "TIME TO REDEEM MYSELF" after never FCing it during the Honoka event.
 
I start playing it thinking, that weird part is coming up soon nooo...few seconds later "HOLY CRAP I DID IT" but then afterwards I get two good...
 
Me - 0, PGP - 40 something
 

Happy Birthday mania_~! Rice goddess ftw~! Eat all the rice today/tomorrow =D
 
So envious of those with the sakura Hanayo, it's my favourite but I know I'll get it someday (in the distant future) >____<b
 
Edit: Damn Umidah .___.", I didn't know he was Canadian so I wasn't sure how he spent but as a Canadian myself, damn....but congrats to him in the end.

Practice makes perfect =) You'll get there soon enough~! Not everyone starts out FC-ing expert mode, unless they're broken
 
I don't play EX mode at all. I just stick with hard, heck I screw up 95% of the time on hard.

I recommend Chihayafuru as well, it's a hidden gem and one of the best shows that's come out in recent years, imo

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who liked Madoka out of all of them DX
 
Glad you enjoyed Madoka though :3

Glad to know I'm not the only one who uses love gems for space. I didn't want ppl telling me "you could have done a honour scout blah blah", not that it has happened but if it does, screw you it's my account >=D

lmao

The rickroll is real.

 
Well played. 

''You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day''
 
Oh well! I'm so glad I could find this forum to meet all of you! 
And thanks again for opening this thread Nosebleed and you guys who commented under it, seems like not only me but many people found a warm light inside today :')
 
@Cloudy: Thank you! But you are so kind too You are one of the very few girls I know here and who also plays SIF I would love to know more and more about you and become closer  
 
To everyone who wished me health, thanks I will be like ''did I really have a surgery?'' by the end of next week so no worries!!
 
This day was always always so pointless for me (not a romantic** duh) But today felt so warm and happy :'D I'm really happy to be able to talk to you guys everyday  

Hi Maki~chan, Happy Valentines Day! Hope you liked the surprise, and hope that your recovery went well :3
 
First off, I want to say I'm sorry about the luck you're having with SIF. No one, as passionate as you towards Love Live! should deserve this shitty luck. I know it sucks right but remember that we're all here for you and that there are more opportunities to come. You will get 11 UR's and cry tears of joy, not from sadness! ;D
 
I also want to take the opportunity to thank you and let you know how awesome you are. You welcomed someone like me with open arms. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fit in but regardless, you were polite and kind not only to me but to everyone else, making it easier to people to adapt and fit in. I rarely find kind people like you and I hope you continue to stay the awesome way you are =D
 
Happy Valentines Day <3
 

Valentine's Day is upon us, it is the day to give something to the ones you care about and love without wanting anything in return (well, maybe some love would be nice), and today the Love Live community decided to give something to one of its precious members, maki~chan, AKA Akemi Chika.
 
We know how much you love to play School Idol Festival and how much you like Maki, but it seems the game really is against you getting an Ultra Rare at the moment, and on top of that you just recently got out of surgery and can't really play properly for a while.
 
This is most certainily unfair for such a dedicated member of Love Live.
 
We want you to know we all care about your well being and want you to enjoy Love Live and be rewarded for it, so even though you don't have an Ultra Rare Maki yet (don't worry, you'll definitely get one!) me, cloudy12, Ceris, OriginalRen, Rose, Ezeefreak, Praeliator, CLuBLioN, Eclipsed and Zehel decided to get together to give you this very real Maki figure for valentine's!
 

 
This is both a valentine's gift and a get well soon gift. We all wish you a quick recovery and want you to know we all love you and enjoy having you in the community and hope you enjoy being part of it as well, and now you can definitely tell everyone you got a Maki
 
I'm sorry if you were expecting some love confession in here since it's valentine's (everyone's just shy ), but we hope this makes for a good valentine's gift, and most of all, that it makes you happy, which is what we all want to see.
 
May you have a wonderful valentine's day and many Maki Ultra Rares and that you stay with us for many years to come.
 
With love and care,
Nosebleed, cloudy12, Ceris, OriginalRen, Rose, Ezeefreak, Praeliator, CLuBLioN, Eclipsed, Zehel and everyone else in the Love Love community 
 

Best song from S2's live performance was leaked
 
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25562297
 
I wonder how long before it's taken down.
 
But yeah, Kira Kira Sensation, I love that song so much~

I'm interested, but I'm scared I won't be able to do a good job since I've always been in the mentee position rather than mentor. I'll try regardless!
