    VN with Aggressive Protagonist

    in Recommendations

    Posted

    By aggressive, I mean in trying to romance the heroine. He's highly aware of his feeling and is proactive. A lot of VN have plots where the protag and the heroine are solving a problem in the heroine route, then slowly falling in love (especially with donkan protag). Now, I'm interested in a more 'aggressive' approach, romance-wise. Even better if the heroine is the donkan one instead :D

     

    Any language is fine.

     

    And yes, I'm just looking for a romance VN. So preferably, not much supernatural/action/fantasy stuffs.

     

    Thanks!

    I decided to drop Ruitomo, because it's freaking hard to comprehend what the characters are talking about :( I'm gonna pick this title again sometimes in the future for sure, but for now, I'm reading Harukuru.

    Reading Flyable Heart with TA (translation aggregator) ITH (interactive text hooker) Mecab & Jparser, other dictonaries and Atlas at the side. It is interessting to say the least. Although damn slow <_</> Pretty impressive tools fans have made to read Vn's B)/>

    Cool :) It might be really bad at first, but you'll get used to it.

    SD is too gory for my taste -.- not to mention that there are more gory bad endings that the good ones. I've watched the anime though and read the manga.

    About shuffle, I was thinking of picking it up since someone showed me a screenshot of the game.

    And just to ask, anyone knows where to get ef~ the first tale? I know that ef~ Lite has both of the tales but I still want to play it separately.

    I think the gore scene only exists in one ending... right? Not really sure though, the protagonist is just too painful to read.

    Also, since the poster allows it, let me ask for a suggesstion too :D I'm looking for a VN that's similiar to Caucasus -Nanatsuki no Nie- (or in the literature, something like "And Then There Were None", isolated murder mystery). Either untranslated or not is alright.

    It's been very fun these last two weeks. VN I have read in that span of time:

    - All Rewrite character routes, waiting for the translation of the true route. (9.4/10)

    - Two routes in Toppara Zashikiwarashi. (7.4/10)

    - Almost all endings, including true ending, in Caucasus. This one is a bit crazy, I read them all in just one day. (9/10)

    Now then, the next VN I'm going to read is Ruitomo.

    I can't bring myself to read any VN because of college, work, and more importantly, I've been reading The Godfather and The Brothers Karamazov for the first time, awesome literature :D Still, I tried to play a different VN than what I'm currently playing, my first Shuumon Yuu's VN - Tenshi no Hane, for a change of pace. It's good so far, trap protagonist with a serious plot in a very unusual setting, modern medieval setting. Strangely very readable with Atlas even though it's written by Yuu, maybe because it's his easiest work I guess... I need to finish the brothers soon.

    It seems G-senjou no Maou is quite popular on this forum, so I decided to give it a shot.

    The second time, in fact. I tried already, but...

    Characters are... bad. I mean, they're so flat and cliche (except Eichi, I guess), It's kinda annoying.

    Is it supposed to be like this? Does it get better?

    If you get that impression, those are just their facade :P/> Except the poor damsel, most of them have their own unique touch that's hard for me to forget.

    Finished up the Tsugumi arc in Ever 17. 2 down, 2 to go for the true ending. I think I'm gonna take a break from Ever 17 though and play either Steins;Gate or Fate/stay night. Anyone prefer one over the other?

    Both of them are solid. Ask yourself if you want a more fantasical setting (FSN) or realistic setting (S;G) :)

    Your favorite VN protagonists/antagonists

    I feel a kindred spirit with you, an interesting protagonist is usually the first characteristic in my mind when I'm looking for a VN to read. That said, I'll list some of the best protagonists I have ever read:

    1) Kazami Yuuji from Grisaia no Kajitsu, what makes him stood out is his unique narration in the common route where he loves to open a scene with funny anecdotes followed with the scene itself, making me read the extremely long common route without skipping any of them one bit. His rather dubious approach towards daily life problems coupled with his natural badass personality makes him even more entertaining to read, though it's kinda like full metal panic in that regards.

    2) Okabe Rintarou from Steins;Gate, who doesn't like him? A delusional mad scientist complete with evil laughter yet deeper than what he usually looks like.

    3) Tokisaka Reiji from Kara no Shoujo, the very definition of Noir protagonist done right.

    4) All protagonists from looseboy's creation, generally a well-written protagonist with badass personality and bright mind.

    5) Kawano Hatsuyuki from Hatsuyuki Sakura, a tsundere character with rich background story. There are other unusual tendencies (like drinking booze when he is stressed) which just serves to make his character more fleshed out than most. Certainly one of the best tsukkomi protagonist, ever.

    6) Most trap protagonists, but this is just my personal preference :P The one from Koitate is especially awesome.

    Is romance necessary?

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Posted

    Romance is not necessary. But if I have to choose between romance should exist or not, I will choose the former cause love makes the world goes around. Regarding NTR, I have no qualm reading that, but it tends to be a hit-or-miss approach. If written wonderfully, it can incite a depressing plot that is heart-wrenching. Though so far, the fictions that I really like the NTR element are in fanfiction or manga, I haven't found a good NTR VN yet (maybe Biniku no Kaori in the future).

    And so I finished Euphoria. Seriously, the amount of plot twist is so much that the true route is just mindblowing, especially with its good use of unreliable narrator. Now, maybe I'm gonna pick otoboku next, in dire need of something light to read.

    Hi there!

    Stay there till you get to the true route, it's going to be yowza B) I've been hearing good things about Christina Love's works, maybe I'll pick them up someday, thanks for reminding me. And of course, welcome to the forum :)

    Puella Magi Madoka Magica

    in Anime/Manga Talk

    Posted

    This reminds me of my neighbor who pseudo-worships Madoka. It's good and have a great deconstruction theme. But the pace just gets weirder as the show goes on, though the episode of Homura's past sets the series back on track. Then again, I still think of Saya no Uta as Urobuchi's greatest work.

    More importantly, I just don't get why Madoka is elevated to deity status comparable or even greater than Haruhi^^;

    Otome Game

    I have never played otome game before, so I'm kind of curious. Has any of you played one before? Is there any good one? I am sort of interested on in Black Wolves Saga since its release, but I keep delaying because... Well, it takes great courage for me to read an otome game :P But BWS looks cool, it's darkish and has a great premise.
