Most beautiful VN character - Shigusa Satsuki

Hi fuwa, this is melo4496 - or simply melo. I learned japanese because of my love for eroge, and I never regretted spending my time for it. I started reading visual novels on summer of 2014 - the time when I was really bored I needed something to spend time with. Before this I was so into Classical music focusing mainly on piano pieces, but was later engulfed in the world of eroge, after finishing G-senjou no Maou.

For starters I've read a dozen of translated vns but then noticed that most of the games that I really wanted to play are untranslated. This was generally influenced by the posts of our resident veteran, Clephas. That's when I started learning Japanese on September 2014. I never studied grammar and vocab through textbooks, because it looks so tedious and uninteresting. After doing researches (mainly in fuwanovel) and going with the approach I think is compatible for me, I pursued learning the language. After 3 months I started my first untranslated moege which ridiculously took me another 3 months to finish completely. Bakabaka!! (*ﾉдﾉ) 

It's my pleasure to help other vn lovers out there who also want to learn japanese for reading untl'd vns, pretty much what rains did to me when I was starting. Lalo na kung kababayan
 

Vn Preferences

I like / I love:

Comedy - Tsukkomi-boke, Slapstick, Shimoneta, Teasing

One True End

VNs with lots of Character - Just look at KNS2. They have around 50 characters there I believe. I appreciate that.

Tsundere - 言うまでもない!

Tsundere neta - べべべっ別に。アンタの為にやってるわけじゃないいんだからね！かっ, 勘違いしないでよねっ！（頬を赤らめながら）

White-haired heroines - Nantonaku..

Oyabaka

Mystery - Serial killings, detective protagonist, those with clear answers

Romance - realistic character development

Sport - Aokana is a masterpiece for introducing Flying circus

Good Art - I consider KNS2 as the game with the best art, from the games that I have read so far (Hosome)

Tameguchi and Waruguchi/Yankee style speech - Specially if the character is a girl. Kani from tsuyokiss is the best example lol. For male characters, Dies Irae's Wilhelm and Shirou's dialogue and conversations are music in my ears

Kansai-ben

BGM - Leyline, Inochi no Spare

Certain VAs - I'm very particular about voice acting. Not sure if it's something special but I recognize same voice actor playing different characters in vns right away. There are also times when I'm not even listening to their voices but suddenly struck me that "...wait, doesn't x and y have same VA?!" and most of the time I got it right. (ドヤ)

https://vndb.org/s363

Arisugawa Miyabi. Latest VA I love. She played Touko in HoshiOri, Misato in Sinsemilla and of course, Suenaga from Houkago no Futekikakusha. I love her acting... It's so moe and kakkou ii at the same time!

https://vndb.org/s449

Kazane. Yurippe from Angel Beats!, Akari from Noble Works, Yayoi from Hapymaher, Velvet from Akeiro Kaikitan.. Personally like her tsundere acting. VA with the best shriek! lol

https://vndb.org/s28

Kawashima Rino! Great talent in voice acting (from Yamato Nadeshiko to Badass heroines). I love her voice and I always end up liking the characters she play. Specially when she is doing Yukari's (KnS). She also voiced the famous Haru of Gsenjou

https://vndb.org/s278

Misonoo Mei. The quality of her voice fits perfectly for Hitozuma-type characters. I remember her as Kikyou&Fuyou in Nanairo Reincarnation. I can also hear her voice in "other" characters like Girl Student A, Girl Student B.. lol

https://vndb.org/s11

Aji Sanma. Found her voice striking, when she played Marika in HoshiOri (marika is love). Then I found out that she also played Kuchiki Touko in KnS..

https://vndb.org/s6

Isshiki Hikaru. She's Yumiko of Grisaia. She is very versatile. I didn't notice that she also played Natsume-san in KnS who has very heavy and funny accent.

https://vndb.org/s367

Kitami Rikka. She is everywhere. Most of the time she plays Tsundere Characters. That's why I like her!! She is Airi of Mashiro iro, Rikka of HoshiOri, Alice of Hapymaher, Makoto of Saku Uta and Tamao of Hello Lady. Tamao's voice acting is superb!

I don't like / I'm not fond of / I hate:

Science fiction

Keigo - Nanka tsumannai.

Maid heroines - Because they use Keigo

Mecha

Action VNs

Fight scenes

Moe-type art

Bokukko - with the exception of Leyline's and Kani

Loli - with exceptions

Heroines who talk slow - Sakuno of Mashiro Iro, Moe of AkaGoei

Heroines like Nagisa of Clannad, Eustia

Certain VAs -

https://vndb.org/s3769

Listening her voice for an hour will definitely make me crazy. Why does she have to be a character in Leyline!!!???

https://vndb.org/s113

She plays loli characters and her voice makes my head ache..
