It would be nice to see Katou-sensei bang Reina though.
Would take that over the
threesome scene
. 10/10 sounding scene, actual love involved yeah!

Huh... I thought otome games didn't have sexual content since, well, girls.
I'm wishing you goodluck then!
Otome games would also be a nice change in pace.
Considering BL games have a bunch of porn, it's not really a thing with girls not liking porn... There are 18+ otome game companies (like, companies or side-companies making exclusively 18+ stuff), although it puzzles me as to the reason that there's a lot more all-ages than 18+ when the male side is the opposite.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this! Tetrascope's otoges are supposed to be really good, and it's really short. Win-win for me! Keep up the good work!

Full name of Agatha Christie : Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie
Mary Clarissa Christie is her most correct name, when Agatha Christie is more of a "book name"
That's interesting! I need to get educated on these things, wow.
Interesting, it seems like we have approx the same taste in protagonists and male characters, as well as a same opinion, interesting.
Great minds think alike~~~~
That's definitely a part of it. He's pretty much capable of doing everything, and every female in the game falls for him despite his twisted personality, even non-heroines like the principle and JB. His personality flaws are never punished and sometimes are even rewarded. He never has to grow as a person in order to overcome any challenges. His perfection can be pretty boring.
That's true. The worst thing to come out of his sexism that I can remember was a scene used entirely for comedy (the pink shark pack scene). I can't say I'm fond of when every female character in the entire novel falls for the MC, too... Some of them must have different tastes.

My attention span is that of a gnat, as I've said before. Given that they're the same quality, shorter VNs have a better possibility of keeping me there the entire time. Also, shorter = less time investment to get to the point to see if I'd like it. Longer VNs also seem to have more fluff...
-
Uh. For all I know, he didn't bang anyone.
Maybe you're referring to Uesugi-senpai?
Names.... names..... I'm horrible with names. How will Koutarou ever forgive me?! How will you ever forgive me?! (yes, that's it).
-
I'll ask here, I guess. Can you suggest translated vn with winter theme? Something that will be great to read... well, this winter.
inb4: Kanon. And I saw here Da Capo 2, so what can you say about it?
Thanks.
Da Capo II starts with preparing for a Christmas party and is basically set in winter. I had to put off reading until there was snow on the ground. If you're alright with charages and aren't expecting super-deep story, you could do worse.

Well, I'm not "romantically involved" with the heroines like some people suggested . It's only that I fell bad for a character who likes the protag (especially even before her route started) but the guy goes with someone else and that character gets heart broken.
So, after reading the comments here I decided to play Ageha's route in If My heart had wings..... boy I am not going to play more than 1 route ever again I mean what was that shit? I've reached the 2nd h-scene and it's horrible by now they basically
turned ageha and her cute little sister into two bitches
and dat translation : oppai = eyes XD
And let's respect other people's opinions we're all friends here
Ah, I know what you mean. That's my problem with heroines that start with max affection for the protag...! How can I break her heart! But you've gotta do it anyway; there's a possibility that the other girls like the protag too! You can't do that to them just because you chose someone else first, right?!
For me it's opposite It's feelings for 2D girls that last.
Was meant to answer part 2 of OP's question, not any argument you're having. That's interesting, though. how do you keep interested in 2D girls when, unlike the 3D, there's nothing about them beyond their 1 maybe 2 stories? ...I'll also ask you to exercise more tact in discussion. As a 3D woman, I was not happy hearing that my personality disgusted someone I'm gonna be interacting with.

I said a lot of times here how i like Okabe Rintarou, but he's not the only VN protag or guy on a VN i like.
Naoe Riki in Little Busters for example, he has narcolepsy, he's probably the weakest in the band and he's not a womanizer, he also have a childish voice, but everything make him sound so cute and SO interesting, i definitely liked Riki's character and persona.
There's also M, the shady character(not protagonist) of Shikkoku no sharnoth that from the start is extremely cold and mean to Mary Clarissa Christie(Agatha Christie), who never hesitates to use his right hand Moran, and manipulates pretty much everyone from the start, even if he has charisma, power and money, he's treated as a cold strategist, but he's also weak, weak in his heart, and that's what made me like this character.
Yeah! I like Riki's character development, too, when he stops simply leaning on his friends and makes equal effort for them, gaining courage to lead people towards their shared goals...
M is really cool, although because of his character I was only convinced he had a one-sided affection for Mary in the last chapter which really highlighted his weak points.
The lonely king on his throne....
Aaah and his interaction with the children was adorable! Really, every time I hear "comical" in Japanese I hear M's voice. True story. It happened in Comyu a few times. Couldn't stop hearing M.
Mary = Mary Shelly. It's a mix of Mary Shelly, Agatha Christie, and a middle name I can't place. Which makes that name Sharnoth in a nutshell, really (it just needed a Holmes reference and it'd be there!).

The wallpaper/posters are circa 2002, so the posters are cute animals and the wallpaper includes of pretty unicorns. Basically can't be bothered to decorate my room, but I just add stuff to it like anime plushies and a whole bunch of manga, which I must have over 60 volumes of sitting around. Mainly shoujo. Only one BL volume. My anime DVDs are in the family room. My room at the city I'm going to school in has nothing in it that's otaku related at all~
-
Sorry excuse for h-scenes that is Koutarou? How?
His role in a lot of routes is just so the player can see him bang the girls Shoushichi can't. That's how I saw him anyway. Maybe he majorly improves in Suzu's route...
-
I think 'no flaws' mostly refers to his beautiful ass.
Part of the reason the 1st episode of Grisaia anime was 10/10 - beautiful manservice.
This bit made me chuckle. Personally, I consider being condescending, arrogant, both self-deprecating AND self-righteous (how does that even work?), casually misogynist and generally douchebag-gy to be a pretty serious flaw. But maybe that's just me.
I'd guess the complaint is that he's not punished all too much for those flaws? Probably.
-
Well, I for one believe there true love exists in the 3D world:
http://www.today.com/video/today/54537966
I find that story very touching, but maybe it's just me.
Edit: I accidentally linked the wrong link the 1st time; the new link is the correct link.
I... want a relationship like that..... Wow...
On the 2D-3D thing... No? 2D girls are ideals, 2D guys are ideals, I realize that and create separate planes in my mind for them. I finish the game, declare characters my waifu, then move on and lose 95% of the intense feeling I had for them. Rinse and repeat. Same with ships, honestly. If I'm not constantly reminded of something, I kinda forget...
-
Whoa just today I read the chapter of Assclass from which you get your avatar 0.0
I confess that I ate waaaay too much sugary stuffs this Thanksgiving
Confession: Assassination Classroom is 2good4me. It's such a heartwarming manga about children trying to kill their octopus teacher.
-
Half the time I end up shipping the protag with another guy that doesn't even get a route, so I'm fine playing other routes. I consider some of the main ships to be best, of course, but they're all AUs, so... I'm a multishipper at heart, anyway. I wouldn't have survived picking some One True Pairings in my three playthroughs of Fire Emblem Awakening otherwise. ...I start and drop novels on whims because I have a very small attention span. A concept grabs me, I feel passionate about it, I finish a route or two, all the flaws become obvious, I stop. A few weeks-months later I pick it up again. It has nothing to do with how I feel about heroines.
-
One day very soon F/SN will have corrupted me as well. I have a feeling I will enjoy Shirou as a protagonist for likely all the same reasons everyone likes to harp on him... Guess I tend to go against the grain even within the community bahaha. And if it weren't for college/university I'd still be binging on Visual Novels, so I guess you at least kinda have a point
Oops. Was talking about Shoushichi after I mentioned Shirou. Will edit... Shirou is a lot more shounen manga protagonist, but he has some aspects that are really interesting, too. If you can get past the "girls can't fight!" Fate route. The ultimate house waifu. He can cook, he can clean... his wife can bring home the bacon, that's okay. Probably actually how his couple with Rin goes.
Yeah... I'm a slow reader in general, so... then I only started downloading/buying a year ago. That made less options.

I wouldn't talk about anime on a first date. At all. I'm actually a little embarrassed about my hobby in real life. My roommate learned I liked it after living ~4 months with me. There are three distinct levels: that I like anime, that I like BL, and that I play eroge. I have no idea what order I should tell that stuff to guys, but at least with girls it goes in that order. So I like talking on the internet and the opportunity to fujoshi as much as I want~ On a related note, my biggest fear for my relationships is I start thinking that 2D>3D. And I can feel myself slipping with every jerk I meet in real life....Before I started on the forum again, I occasionally went into the cesspools that are the comment boxes and edited specific comments out of them if I felt they were wasting character space, like redundant comments, or people having irrelevant conversations, or spoilers, or people signing their names unless they were significant like the translator or a mod. I have got into two fights over the comment boxes: one over Killer Queen and another over MLA. Also I think the comment box was a useful idea in some respects (users trouble-shooting themselves without an account, translation updates for stuff on forums like aarinfantasy), but I honestly do think 95% of it is just annoying.I really dislike lolis. Onee-chans > imoutos, but onii-chans>otoutos. Prefer senpai to kouhai, too.
Everyone's gender is the same as the one of the avatar they have.
Trust me I'm a moderator.
...I'm a lion and then I'm Koro-sensei? Gender is a spectrum, after all!

I liked his hobby for classical music as well, but wouldn't necessarily call it cute. Now his means of enjoying it, particularly his tendency towards masochism, was cute in my eyes... hahaha. At the same time he was able to put on that grand show of being the world's biggest sadist, fucking over & hurting everyone in his pursuit of money. Also I'm glad Kyouru had such depth to it as I had a lot of issues with things the other heroines did. Tsubaki's character as a whole irritated me to no end and Mizuha's willingness initially to be corrupted by Sadistic Kyousuke was rather pathetic. Like you said, it was reminiscent of a bad shoujo/moege character .-.
Yeah, smart idea. Now I just gotta find another use for this contract of blood >.>
Yeah initially I drew comparisons (both and bad) between Shoushichi and Naruto. That lovable brat is too good-natured at times
so I'm glad Soushichi turned out to be different than the OP shounen protagonistsSounds about right, but I can't be certain either. I've only been reading visual novels the past 6-7 months, I'm infinitely jealous of you :\
True. That was the idea. He's so passionate about music, it's great. He'd been waiting for that CD for a long time! How dare she break it!
Yeah! I love shounen as a genre, but I don't want to see the same protagonist time and again, so this was a treat. To be fair, I haven't encountered a lot of those in eroge... Wouldn't even really consider Shirou one.... The other guys are hot-blooded enough for Shoushichi! ...And he can move when it counts. He knows when he's no match, though, and actually runs away from it to think instead of running towards it...
You shouldn't be. It just means FSN has corrupted me longer than your first VN has corrupted you. Besides, it's spaced out for most of those years...I've only read a few in those years....
-
God, those H-scenes.
Touko was hot when she bent toward the tree. Must have been one of the best scenes in the game in terms of excitement. Y'know. That excitement.
I can relate to what you said about knowing your limits in terms of H-scenes. I was surprised that it continued on and on in Touko's route. Guess Touko was really looking forward to it.
I was joking of course.
Touko's love of Shoushichi... was too extreme.. Well, there's also the sorry excuse for h-scenes that is Koutarou.
Yeah, I know. I was simply stating what I learned and why Ayakashibito's h-scenes didn't vibe with me. Nothing to do with your comment, don't worry.
-
Haha yeah, so what was your opinion of Kyousuke before he let his true nature show?
Pinky promise? ;D
Idk the effeminate, man-child inside me didn't get that part too well. I also think he's great at focusing on the good in every situation though, one of Soushichi's best characteristics.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything about Kyouru (hehe portmanteaus are the best). The combination of the lighthearted, comedic moments and the bone-chilling ones added a lot of depth to the true route. Whoever translated it did an awesome job of capturing the passion they held for one another. Examples: [caution actual spoilers]
- when Kyousuke kept his brother from strangling Haru, I felt a chill go down straight down my spine. From Haru's perspective he must've looked like a hero as
- Haru's confession, even if it "was the worst confession ever." Showed how desparately she needed him. And I thought it was nice how she persistently insisted their lineages didn't matter.
- The animals part heh
- And when Kyousuke finally let out all his pent-up emotions in the end. I may or may not have cried a little
I also gotta say I loved how she grew her hair out for him :3
He's a jerk in a lot of ways. He'd show up more often in a shoujo than an eroge, but the girls would still swoon.... because every once in a while, he does one nice thing. His hobby for classical music was always cute, though.
Maybe I shouldn't make promises I'm not certain I'll keep... hm....
Yeah. He makes others want to help him because he's such a positive person, too. As a negative person, it was actually interesting to see how his mind worked... and how it made others work. He's not shounen protagonist because he does, y'know, think and stuff, and he is broken in several ways. But he keeps going, keeps focusing on the bright side....
Yes! Such a good ship! Sailing that into the beyond, myself!
That flashback scene on the roof made my life! It was too cute ahhhh Haru with her little penguin watch.. It was a watch right.. Damn. It's surprising I remember anything of this, I read it three-four years ago.
I'm also extremely fond of "Weak" and "unmanly" protags (when the protag is a male and when it's a Female of course), For me when the protag is weak and/or shows flaws, it means that he's just a human and not just some kind of God, and of course, it make him more human(That doesn't mean i hate intelligent characters Like Lelouch Lamperouge, but you'll see that he has big flaws to counterpart his intelect, or that Holmes is a little Crazy, despite his excellents detective skills) but what i most hate is protags that are just flawless or "Manly" or i dont know what shit about.
The protagonist is just a human, you have to balance it, if you gives him incredible skills, give him incredible drawbacks.
Yes, Rintarou is one of my favourite char, because i love his psychological evolution through the VN.
He surpassed his Raïto Yagamai in term of playing and everything and, and, and.
It's not like i love okabe or anything! b-b-aka.
Lelouch had extra heaps of camp, too, which made him fun to watch. Super over-dramatic. There's something really different between Lelouch and, like, Tatsuya from Mahouka. Characters that can screw up create an infinitely greater amount of drama and conflict and chances to grow than those that can't.
Yeah! Okabe also falls under "he's fun to watch even when he's acting", too. I am mad scientist! But yes, his growth is really impressive! He goes from rather aimless, living in delusions, to someone with a single goal and working towards it.

...I didn't finish Suzu's route. I'll finish it... eventually...
I felt that some of the H-scenes were a little unnecessary (Suzu in the bathroom, the Dominion threesome etc.) but overall they were well executed and well spaced.
...Ah, yes, the four scenes in a row in Touko's route were excellently spaced. This is the game where I learned my limit on the number of h-scenes I can take in a row. It is, believe it or not, four. Especially if one is a rape scene. I also figured out a pet peeve of mine, which is having consensual sex right after noncon stuff. Again, who knew?

I'm in. I wanna at least try the voting, and Ayakashibito discussion was fun, so... Plus I'll actually have time in December!
If you want to force that Kaguya, you should probably do that for Forest, since it's VERY less known.
True. I'd like an excuse to finally read it instead of leaving it on my list, too.

THIS IS MAH HAREM
So no one's anyone's only waifu?! We're all just part of a harem? Shock! Plot twist!
-
That made me laugh haha. Hides. I don't understand the reason why he says he refuses to cry when he's sad though. That didn't make too much sense to me.
Kyousuke's character confused me immensely... I never could understand why he acted so guarded until his true nature came out. Once that happened, I began to think of him as more than your typical otaku-media protagonist. He's definitely one of my favorite protagonists now that I've finished G-Senjou, though.
Wow, I'm honored. ^ω^
Being a female VN fan is haaard for relating. Guys that try to act cool come across as arrogant and a jerk over half the time.. well it's personal opinion, of course~ ...I do solemnly swear to not hit on people over the internet, if that's your worry. When it comes to Shoushichi, it's more like he wants to only cry happy tears because he doesn't find crying when he's sad productive, I think? It's been a while. But he also doesn't want to negatively impact the happy moments by placing emphasis on the sad ones, either...
Yeah! His couple with Haru just felt so... significant, too! They both really needed and loved each other~ It was so sweet! His desperation for his family also shines through...He acts cold, but actually cares a looot. Even beyond his debates about exploiting people for money... which basically show he's stuck between lone wolf mentality and "I need people!"...
-
Obligatory addition to the thread: through Ayakashibito thus far, I've really enjoyed how unmanly Soushichi is in the conventional sense. Often times in otaku media the protag has unheard of intellect or some other crazy trait and they seem to "strong-arm" the heroine of choice into falling for them in the odd chance she didn't fall for him simply because he's nice (ugh). Soushichi readily accepts his weaknesses and is conscientious of his actions. His character is human. I can relate to his thoughts and feelings much better than the superhuman protags that somehow pass off as "normal people."
I've already spoiled the end of S3 of Legend of Korra for myself, for example, even though I'm stalled at around the halfway mark (not that the spoiler was very surprising).
Omedetou gozaimasu~ I believe it, I wouldn't've noticed if it weren't for my habit of lurking the community index after all
No. In fact it's really early--as early as a birthday can be date-wise ;D
Although Kyousuke fit into that "superhuman" protag category I mentioned above, I still thoroughly enjoyed his character. It was the moments that he was the weakest that made me respond the most to his character. While bad end Kyousuke always turned out to be a huge prick, he'd always let his softer side out near the end of routes otherwise. The comedic duo he formed with Haru was outstanding and Kyousuke x Mizuha was so cute I nearly hnnng'd to death.
That's true. Protagonists that are relateable are really interesting, too. Although I'm already a degree removed from them. But it makes their emotions a lot more... raw? When they're not just super-humaning. ...Also guys that show emotion are really cute in my book (I prefer them to guys that can do anything and everything). Shoushichi's habit of crying when he's happy is really sweet. It's a great look at someone that finally found something he thought was impossible: an ordinary school life and, realizing it may not last that long, decides to live it anyway. He's someone that was constantly beat down and trivialized in his youth, too. It really shows, which is impressive.
Kyousuke's strengths make a stark contrast to his weakness that kind of hit you when you know them. Because he acts so cool and strong....
I'll have to remember that. And I meant first out of everyone that I know. Period. That's pretty special!
Did i ever said how much i love Okabe that i just act as a tsundere?Whawhawhat's this bug?! b-baka!
Who would like someone as baka as Okabe?! Geez, i-it's not like I thought Mamoru Miyano's performance as Okabe was one of his best or anything! No way! Baka!
