"one of the best VNs ever made" is a little too much, IMO. Desk-kun might want a word with you. Still, it's almost always upsetting to hear of a VN with poor sales.

I agree with pretty much everything Hitazo said. The main heroine, Keziah, is a great character and honestly, I loved every moment she was on screen. The biggest problem with the VN, in my opinion, would have to be the side-routes, which are about G-senj tier. And also the very, very awkward timing for H-scenes. And there's a lot of them, though most are IFs that aren't relevant to the actual plot so you can just skip them if desired. Otherwise, it was hype-city, fun all around. Really wish there were more like it, and I wish I could've read it a lot sooner.

Both were great. Majikoi had a fun, giant cast of characters whom were all so fun yet insane. Chris is probably the most adorable thing in the world during her route, right there with Wanko. Fights were definitely fun so long as Momoyo wasn't involved (except in one or two cases) and I don't recall actually disliking any one character, only liking others a bit more. Kuki Hideo and his theme are a godsend. Only problem Majikoi has is that most routes that aren't for the main heroines don't really amount to anything but H-scenes. I was really hoping for a better Kokoro route. :C Grisaia on the other hand... I enjoy Yamato as a protagonist quite a bit. But Yuuji is on another level. A lot of the better comedy in Grisaia in my opinion is just when you're listening to his thoughts. His pondering about beans is the first thing that comes to mind. While not as big a cast as Majikoi, I didn't dislike any heroines at all. Yumiko was my least favorite, but she wasn't bad. The only problem was that some of the routes weren't so great. Sachi's in particular. But I understand that it is important to look both ways when crossing a road so I don't mind they used her route as a PSA. While the pacing did die down quite a bit, I preferred Amane's the most. I prefer Amane the most so maybe that's why? I would say that Grisaia is my preferred, but only by a little. Again, both were great.

I mean as long as you're fine with washing machines I think you'll enjoy the VN. Haven't play any of the Zero Escape games so I am not sure what you're talking about, but Tsugumi is bae --- if my signature did not make that clear. And at the end of the day, when all is said and done, isn't that all that matters?

My signature pretty much answers this, but I'll throw in Doctor West from Demonbane, as he's a very fun character that I could never forget.

Literally me irl xddd I wouldn't use something so soft as "ignorant". I think people who think that way are outright idiots who didn't bother to read into anything or try to understand the character at all. I'm being sorta a hypocrite in this way because I literally CTRL'd through any part that involved Natsumi, but still.

Why does everybody look so smug?

Who is losing rights, and what rights?

You would be correct. Did the dinosaurs part make it too obvious?

yee

A very poor and very hungry man tries to sustain himself only to be hit by a book and caught up in the fate of the universe. Great OSTs and dead dinosaurs ensue. And another, if I'm allowed. A washing machine can only hold one person.

I would not mind Fortissimo coming to the US. That, or anything Eushully~

I like my heroines intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor. Aesthetically? Red hair. Cat ears. Zettai Ryouiki. And lolita. Personality-wise, I would have to say I like anybody who is funny, arrogant, or confident. Mostly as long as they don't annoy me, are cute, and fun to see, I won't mind them. Kuuderes are a turn-off for me unless there's some form of catch to them (Anastasia from OniAi being an example of one I like). I tend to dislike heroines who are cowardly or lacking in self-esteem (Fucking Natsumi from Sharin no Kuni) and essentially just aren't fun or interesting to read about. So pretty much, I just dislike Natsumi and don't really care too much for Kuuderes. @Deep Blue named all of my favorites from each of those VNs they mentioned, and I would also say I agree with the appeal of gap-moe to an extent.

:^) Anybody else think that sensei looks like she has the downs when she tries to look smug? Her eyes just don't look right.

I wish I could vote for the first question only. I need to beat the game 4 times before I can honestly answer the second one. Yves and Akane are my two favorite heroines. I never get bored with arrogant girls and Akane is just the cutest lil' tryhard. I honestly wish the other two grabbed my interest, but they just don't. Yuzu's most interesting trait IMO is her name and I never did care for robot girls that weren't from Demonbane. It is very possble this may change when I do get around to their routes, but that is very unlikely. That being said, I like the music in the game, and I remembered that Koiken Otome has my favorite VN UI. Plus, it doesn't lag or the sort, like Princess Evangile.

I think Muv Luv was the first VN I noticed that did this, and its soundtrack was overall my favorite.

I do not think that I have played a game that had music that actually caused me irritation. Closest thing to that would be Himouto's OST, but that's an anime. Grisaia and probably some of the Eroge I have played had meh soundtracks, however. (Though Grisaia did have a few good ones, too).

In my opinion, that would make Koiken Otome rank around a six if that turns out to be the case. Both Princess Evangile and Noble Works just don't have enough in them for me to continue, but I can't call the bad either. Just... boring? Girls are cute though, and I have not played Da Capo. Anyways, it is starting to sound like Koiken Otome is going to be okay at best, which is saddening considering how much effort and time was put into the hype and translation. That being said, I'll probably still play it all the way through because it does have some fantasy elements that hopefully will keep me entertained.

I am a bit sad that localizations exist just because that means there's more than translating going on.

ur shit fukkn fite me u looser i'll rek u shit meight0 We'll see about that! (Not that I doubt it one bit).

Picked the fuck up, it's time to tip the scales. Here's how it's done. etc.

SOON, MY SEX WITH TENTACLES (CONSENSUAL) SOON...

I can't agree with you with either of those points. Remember11 just didn't do it for me. I liked it a LOT less than Ever17, though it has been a while so I might need to replay it to give it a proper rating. Also, I thought Sora's arc was good, but Tsugumi's involvement in it just came off weird to me. Tsugumi's route ended up being one of my favorite routes for romance, too. Maybe we just have opposing tastes, though. Wait. I can prevent my waifus from getting NTR'd? Because I absolutely despise NTR, but if it could be used as incentive to do well, I could see myself enjoying the game. Unless I fail, kinda like Beelzebubs in MGQ, except (hopefully) less flies.

Ah, I remember last time I skipped through a VN just to get to H-scenes. There was a lot more poop than I had wanted (that is to say, there was poop to begin with). Never again will I do such a thing. Eroge! had such wonderful art and voice acting, but certain parts just weren't for me. Probably should give it a lower score, but I digress. Anyways, I agree with Okarin in that I prefer scenes that have some form of buildup for me to enjoy them. Not the amateur porn thing. If I'm in the mood for sexy time for realsies, I satisfy myself by simply shitposting on forums or watching "King Archer". Depends on exactly what mood I'm in. Also, Threads Never Die~!

I would not be surprised if the existence of this thread triggered vorathiel.
