Kosakyun

Well, that was predictable.  I'm just amazed we made it to page 2 before Okami started calling everyone perverts.
 
Off- topic... but aren't you supposed to throw out bread if there's any mold you can see, since the roots go deeper than the visible part?

Okay then. First of all, unit types are basically how they appear to be.
 
Warriors - Good at attacking. Will be primary damage dealers. Most will have Warrior Attack 2 as their upgraded attack, but you should keep a unit with Guard Break. Guard Break helps your units ignore pesky high-number footsoldier units. Another notable skill of warriors is Charge, which raises their attack by a certain multiplier (Apparently it's 70%. So your attack gets multiplied by 1.7). Personally, I seldom use that skill. Light Attack is also a must for capturing unique commanders, and also for game progress report completion.
 
Footsoldiers - Used for guarding. Strong footsoldiers have Counterattack as their skill, since their high defense + damage return makes them a hard unit to deal with. This is the reason why you should be wary against Teru and the eldest Shimazu. They both have Counterattack 2, after all. Initail Guard is also nice, but a high percentage of Guard is better.
 
Archers - They're sort of a meh unit. You'll be better off not using them. Use them in the early stages when you have no units to replace them. Best archer unit would easily be Isoroku, since her upgrades would give you either Whirlwind Shot or Yamamoto Sweeping Fire, which are both good.
 
Musketeers - They're basically glass cannons. Overall, they're not really that good. Only a number of them are actually advantageous to use. An example would be Yuzuhara Yuzumi, with her one-shot attack skill. You can further utilize that skill by equipping Working Bee, which gives her +2 action points. Another notable would be Shimazu Toshihisa. 8/8/8/8 stats are nice, y'know.
 
Monk - I don't even know man. They're basically fighters specialized against Youkai-type units. The most notable Monk unit would be Seigan. With his high stats and an attack that hits all enemy units, he's someone you'd want in your team. Aburako Dousan is also a nice addition, having high stats early in the game.
 
Ninja - Basic use would be cancelling preparations. Yeah. They're basically that. I don't really see a lot of uses for ninjas. Other than being ranged and being able to learn Assassination, I don't see advantages in using them. Of course, the exceptions would be their notable units. Suzume is a nice unit early game, since she comes with Assassination ready. It'll be easy to kill off enemy commanders with Assassination. Beware the RNG. Assassination scales with troop size. Keep that in mind. Another notable would be Gekkou, which will be available once you've earned enough points to select his bonus in starting a new game. He starts with overall high stats, and with a passive that gives you a sure kill when using Assassination against units who have exhausted their action points.
 
Tactician - Are crucial in some battles. Their stat buffs are very important, as these can determine the outcome of a battle. Bring them if you worry about your opponent starting off with buffs (Tokugawa Ieyasu, for example). Removing buffs can make battles a lot easier. Notable among the tacticians are Urza Planeis and Naoe Ai. Urza learns Precision Shot, which reduces the opponent's action points by one. Very useful if you ask me. Pair that up with Kenshin's Goddess of War, and you can chip off the opponent's actions. Another notable one would be Sanada Tourin. His Battle Result Down really helps when you're in a pinch.
 
Shikigami - The Houjou House will be the ones mainly utilizing this type of unit. You can also see a lot of these in the One-Eyed House, or the Dokuganryuu. Their most notable skill is the Shikigami/Advanced Shikigami attack, which basically damages everyone. Can sometimes be heavy, so be wary against them. They also have Guard Shikigami, which is a pain in the ass to dispel. Most notable Shikigami unit would be Omachi. It's like cheating when you use her.
 
Miko - Huh. They're the units that heal your other units in battle. I wouldn't really recommend using any of them besides Natori and Kobayakawa Chinu. They have attacks that damage all units by a certain amount based on their troop count.
 
Cavalry - Enhanced Warriors. Can attack from the front and back row. Only house to have them is the Takeda. That's why they're a pain in the ass to beat. The notable Cavalry in the game are, of course, the two Takeda Generals, Baba Shouen and Yamagata Masakage. They both start off with Fuurinkazan, so they shit on you in battle. Use Tacticians to debuff them. After that, they're as good as warriors. Note that these units can still kick ass even without buffs.
 
Mages - Glass Cannons. I wouldn't really recommend using them. Rizna's a good unit against magic users though, since she's immune to magic. Shikigami units can't hurt her too.
 
Knights - Only one unit is classified under knights. Leila's a good unit overall. They're both warriors and footsoldiers. They also do not sacrifice attack for defense. They're a good balance of both. Do remember that Leila's special attack is x2 in power when her troops are less than that of the opponent.
 
Cannons - Regarded as one of the best units in the game. Consisted of Maria and Kasumi. They boast the highest attack in the game. They have terrible defense though. Putting a footsoldier along their column guarantees high firepower and protection against retaliation. Use them if you can. Also, equip Popularity Staff to automatically increase their troop size.
 
Those are basically the units. It's your choice to make.
If you want in-depth analysis of the game's mechanics concerning damage dealt, refer to this. If you want to know more about skills, refer to this.
 
I wouldn't recommend you getting Morita Ai. She's a mediocre warrior unit, and you'll be able to replace her early in the game. I recommend you get either gold, action points, or something. Just not special units.
 
Money can be made naturally. It should increase without you doing anything if you manage properly your units and your actions. Levy if you're low on money. The Merchant skill can also increase additional gold per turn. Forgot the other one. There's another one. I just forgot.
 
There should be no reason for you to fail finding Miki unless you did it on purpose. Do not be afraid to sacrifice your best units for a few turns in order to find her. Remember, finding her is your top priority. If you don't, automatic Demon King route. The route's possible to beat. It's just that it'll take a long time.
 
You can slow down the activation of the Honnouji Event by not attacking the houses holding the eight gourds. They should be as follows: Oda, Ashikaga, Iga, Takeda, Houjou, Uesugi, Mouri, and Akashi. Once you reach the 5th gourd, the Honnouji Event triggers. So try to stall that by attacking the other houses first. If you want, you can also declare war with multiple gourd-holding houses and capture their commanders in the process.
 
Asai-Asakura automatically declares war on you after you gain a certain number of territories. I forgot how many though. It's the same idea as with Uesugi's declaration of war. Asai-Asakura is easy, so you shouldn't have any problems with it.
 
There you go~
Those are my answers for now. I hope they help~

789 years ago today, OriginalRen passed away. His spirit remained with us, in order to guide Fuwanovel down the correct path. At times we went astray, but like a merciful Tay, he was patient and helped us grow (hard). If you didn't know, the reason you aren't Mongolian is because Ren held off the entire Mongolian army, armed with nothing but his abs and homoerotic understones. If it weren't for that stupid hunchback Potllup, he'd still be fighting today. But he was betrayed, by one whom he loved very much. Potllup joins ranks with Gangamamer as two of Fuwanovel's fiercest enemies. Ren died protecting us, and now he deems us strong enough to fight back. 

Today, I want to take a moment to remember Ran. We went through a lot together. Like how we got him unbanned, bought him a blender, lied to him about streaming, and reported his youtube videos. In honor of all that Ran has done for us, take a moment today to say a silent prayer while facing East. Then, use this thread, and post your favorite OriginalRen memory. Let us all share in the good times we had.


im not doing this to make fun of Ren for losing in his own popularity poll sort of
 
 
 
​I will make sure Ren's sacrifice was not in vain. I will carry on his banner of justice and freedom. The people that Ren represented cannot be silenced. We will continue what Ren has started. VIVA LA SERVER MOVE

You just don't know it, but Akame's secretly a Teigu.
Tatsumi will use her.
Yeap. Definitely.

Fucking shit. How did you know?
 
T/F: The next person likes female armpits.

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.

Hrmmmm.
Go read Fate/Stay Night.
Remember. People die when they are killed.

She looks delicious excellent. Yuzusoft games really have mouth-watering great art.

Two Manga Volumes when put together

I knew it was the French. I was doubting myself though, since they might have had treaties and shit like that.
 
...You colonizer. 

Welcome to the community, croak croak.

Well then.
 
Ayakashibito was a fun ride. I went in not expecting anything. I finished it and I was satisfied with it.
I'm not regretting using up a lot of my time on the novel, since it was very good. The start pulls in the audience by describing the current situation in the visual novel. The escape of Takebe Ryouichi and some unknown girl was indeed mysterious. Of course, to find out what really happened, the audience must continue reading the game. That in itself reels in its readers. I was one of the victims. It was really intriguing, since it started out really dark and stuff.
 
The part where they spent their time with Gramps was beautiful. It was like a family setting, only that Suzu was continuously hostile towards Gramps. Especially when he discovered that Ryouichi was a Jinyou. I wonder why he didn't die immediately though. Fast forward to Kawakami City's entrance, and their last goodbye with Gramps. It's kind of sad that they had to erase Gramps' memories, but I guess it's for the best, especially since Dominion was able to track them, leading them to Gramps. The little girl being abused outside Kawakami City shows us a clear example of how Jinyou are treated by normal people. They are ridiculed, discriminated, hated, and a lot more.
 
Enter Kawakami City, and welcome to school life. It was kind of unexpected, since the VN started all dark and mysterious. Of course, school life is something that visual novels will never get tired of showing. And of course, the novel introduces the characters that will play a big part in the story from that point onwards. Tonya, Keijirou, Io, Shuugen, Touko, Kotarou, Yatagarasu, Karasu, Miu, Sakura, and Aino. I was really relieved to see some action after a number of days in the novel though, embodying itself as the fight between Soushichi and Karasu. It was really refreshing, since I really wanted some action in my action visual novel. The fights after that were also entertaining. Of course, they all become happy in the end of that conflict. Suzu and Soushichi are now members of the Student Council.
 
From here on out, the novel will start indicating the split of routes. The routes, as we all know, are split into four. You can enter either the route of Touko, Tonya or Kaoru. These are the three that are initially available to you. Suzu's will be unlocked after finishing the three.
 
Now, let's talk about the different routes.
 
The first one I did was Tonya's. Why? Well, Tonya was cute. That's my only reason. From the start, Tonya was already introduced as someone foreign. To be exact, a foreign exchange student who happens to be a Jinyou too. A Jinyou with a weird organ called Kikimora. Tonya's route was easygoing at first. It was sort of like a comedy. The serious part is hinted right after Tonya cooks for Soushichi for the first time. Vladimir hints that they are observing the boy. It means that they have some ulterior motive. What might this motive be? It got me more interested in the route. In the end, Tonya's route brings up the bond between siblings. A bond that is especially present between Tonya and Sasha. The bond that can be felt through their letters. Letters that they did not receive. In the end though, it's nice that Tonya finally got to read one of Sasha's letters. A letter that she'll truly cherish as a memory of her sister. Overall, the route was pretty nice. The action scenes were nice too. They actually killed people, huh. It was kind of late though. And to think that Dominion would show up at the worst time... They actually live up to their villainy.
 
Next route I did was Touko's route. Touko is your typical shrine maiden with a twist: she shares a body with her big brother, Shuugen. They view this as a problem, and therefore find it hard to reveal to others. After all, Shuugen is admired by the girls, while Touko is loved by the boys. What now if they share one body? They are then discriminated. Others hate them, but others just become awkward after knowing that. There are some who stay though. These people are the embodiment of Touko's strength. The people who accept her and Shuugen as who they are. Touko's route was beautiful, especially after the part where Hounan enters Soushichi. Don't get me wrong. I loved Touko and Soushichi's lovey dovey scenes. But oh my god. Tonya was comedy gold here. Especially that little skit in Soushichi's house. Very very good. Anyway, seeing Soushichi transform into something that he despises was really entertaining. He didn't want to submit himself to Hounan, but he also didn't want to die. That created a new presence: an unnamed Ayakashi. This unnamed Ayakashi was awesome. The battles were pretty intense. I also like this route since Kuki is given another chance in life. And that's just beautiful. Overall, I loved the route, since the unnamed Ayakashi was awesome.
 
Now comes Kaoru's route. I guess it was the fastest route for me. It was simply regaining Kaoru-san and making her realize that Dominion is not for her. Something like that. Kotarou was awesome here. He's a real badass, knocking over a car with his bare knuckles. Also, Soushichi actually trains himself in this route. Training himself under Katou-sensei and Karasu, he tries to learn Yata Raiten-ryu. He doesn't master it, but is able to incorporate it into his foundation ---- Kuki-ryu. The fight between Dominion members were well done. I was disappointed in Ichibee and Reina's fight though. Very un-action like. The fight between Kotarou and Kuki though. Sensei versus sensei. It was great. I think this is the route I liked the least. This was the route that showed Kuki's transformation into a fiend though. Very good.
 
Suzu's route. It was undoubtedly the best for me. Like, the best. Everything was great. My heart would split into pieces whenever she'd deny Soushichi after she lost her memories though. I also like the fact that the term Ayakashibito was actually incorporated here. An Ayakashi Human. To sacrifice one's afterlife to be with the one he loves. It was beautiful. There were a lot of happy moments, but what was most notable here in this route was the number of action scenes. After Suzu's kidnapping, the action scenes don't stop anymore. Well maybe it does in the hospital. Anyway, the fighting scenes man. The fighting scenes. Soushichi's fight against Teruyoshi. Touko against Ichibee. The high speed vehicle chase. Kuki versus Soushichi. Everything was really nice. That's why this was my favorite route. Suzu was practically useless here though. I also didn't see much of Shuugen, but oh well. He had his spotlight in Touko's route. Basically, this was the route that gave Ayakashibito its ending. A route that sealed all loose ends. Well, at least supposedly sealed them. The ride was fun though. The last fight was also nice. Didn't think that they'd both turn into foxes. That really surprised me.
 
Overall, Ayakashibito was a great visual novel. I definitely didn't waste my time reading it, and I'd definitely recommend it to other people. I just hope I get the chance to complete the gallery though.

Well then.

I couldn't view him as an antagonist. I just thought he had his reasons.
 
I can't really decide on who to love more.
Lancer or Archer?
 
...I think I got the answer.
 



 
The novel presents them in such a way that you'll come to love them in the end. It's pretty much frustrating if you need to rank them.

Progress Update Week #19
 

I bought this one because of my love for the Rance series and just though I had to have it. I also prefer to have the physical copy over a digital one.

Dowolf too fast.
I guess I get why you're called "do wolf".
Wolves are fast, y'know?
 
...
 
I'm terribly sorry.
 
Good job Dowolf~<3

But this is the first time I've brought it up.
And Mayucchi has the most anal scenes as far as I'm concerned.
...N-Not that I'm concerned.
But daaaaaaaaaaamn
 
 
Wiggle wiggle.
