Haha, gold XD!~

On the main page I saw "solidbatman's Mega Big.........", then I clicked, found out it was a contest and became disappointed. I be joking ~

Nice interview! solidbatman, I notice you ~

Shocking truth (TuT)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ExtraMana, yeah, I am chasing every day with this Chaika pillow by my side .

Hey guys well I have come across this alternative if you are interested ? https://twitter.com/brickonator/status/564174154807914496/photo/1

I have always wanted to check out this series, so this is great news for me .

Sorry for spamming new games! But this looks pretty cool so I wanted to share it : http://vgperson.com/games/1bitheart.htm

Just stumbled upon this while browsing Reddit : http://scalemail.com/walkerman.htm

I used to read through everything but the older I get, the less patient I become . My factors would be: - Accidental fanservice like the OP mentioned - Too much fluff and not getting to the point (the most common one) Uninteresting story etc goes without saying I guess .

Not only is this detailed, but you made it look so pretty as well! Good on you .

I just noticed that in some otome titles, the main girl's portrait is shown in the corner during the game. Now, I am unfamiliar with the otome genre, so I am unsure if this only happens with English VNs, or if it can be seen in Japanese titles as well. Or maybe it also happens in other games, and I am just clueless . Just wondering if anyone has thoughts or insights about this. Thanks !

Welcome! I was born and raised in Hong Kong, too ! So great to hear there are people across the globe who are in this community. VNs really does bring people together .

Thanks! Well, Diamon and Helvetica Standard took the time to give back and write those guides, so this is one is for them .

Great stuff ! So good to see some genuine appreciation for people's efforts .

crunchytaco, thank you so much for placing the photo here, and also sharing your love with all of us as well. Your onee-chan must be delighted that you continue to think about her and have her in your heart. Everyone looks great in these photos !

Nice one !

Man, there is actually a game called Ultimate Boob Wars? Really? Really! See what I did there?..................... Okay (-//u//-). But really, I can't say I am surprised in the slightest by these results .

It is from Stage Nana and yeah, I have heard it is a serious tale without fanservice. I have a deep love for Narcissu so I will support this without a doubt .

How about a Mancubus costume mod B)?

Mancubus is hot man B).

I have to admit I find the third person reference stuff cute (>///<)~

I see~ Thanks for the further replies !

Thank you all ! Palas, we were driving a silver coupe. However, we did drive a car that had Narcissu stickers all over it ! EldritchCherub, it: However, the best feeling really is being able to meet an online friend who connected with me because of this game. That only made me love Narcissu even more !

I posted this on the visual novels subreddit, but I wanted to share it with everyone here as well. Hopefully that is okay . Here is the gallery: http://imgur.com/a/x4Bbp These were taken in late 2011. I do believe it is Narcissu's ten year anniversary, so I figured this is a fine time to showcase these photos! Narcissu was my first visual novel, and it is still my favorite to this day. After playing through the game, I wanted to discuss it with others so badly, but it was quite niche at the time, so I ended up participating in the Japanese communities. My Japanese is only average, but I just wanted to share my passion for the game with the people out there. I got to know a couple of Japanese folks who were also fans of the game. Then, in 2011, I decided to take a ten day trip in Japan. Once I told these guys about it, they were extremely friendly and proposed a meet up right away. One of these online friends happened to live around Kyoto. I stayed there for two nights, and the two of us took a day trip to visit the landmarks from Narcissu. We got to know each other thanks to the game, so there was no better way to spend the day. Even though the flowers did not blossom during October, we still made the most of our time there. We talked about scenes from the game as we passed some of the actual locations, but I will keep it vague to avoid spoilers. Though we had a language barrier, we still did our best to have a great time, and it is all thanks to this one game. This has to be what I love most about visual novels, or any fan community in general. It is when a game transcends being entertainment and creates friendships, even when we are in different parts of the globe. When an opportunity to meet up surfaces, there is something really precious about that. Thank you for reading!

Thanks for the in depth response Rooke ! Yeah, it is indeed interesting how doujins are pretty acceptable in Japan. And, well, I must say I am glad that is the case !
