    I'm less positive about those, but I'd speculate that protagonists of Majikoi and Fureraba are more on the pervert/proactive side of things (and now I've checked, the VNDB tags seem to agree with me). With the first game being a bit more in-depth and second more or less pure comedy, but both well-written and with strong focus on the characters.

     

    Majikoi's protagonist is a massive perv, one of the main gags is that they nickname his you-know-what 'machine gun'. He's for sure smart and proactive tho, so he probably qualifies for the OP.

     

    I'd like to add Sharin no Kuni to the list as well, very cunning protag but also a bit of an asshole.

    Someone said I'm a super normie and I just couldn't accept such slander.

    Glad to see you're still alive and well. I'm quite flattered you're still using that signature I made (that you probably just haven't had the time to change). :vinty:

    I still really love this signature and I have zero intention of changing it, still love Amane with all my heart. Nice to see you!

    Since we have around a 15 man team for the blog, this is actually not an issue. We're not hard-pressed for content creators :)

    That's pretty rad! :miyako:

    What up my dude! Undusted that account and it does look good man! The fuwanovel discord which you may or may not have used during its timeperiod is actually being flooded right now with a bunch of phone nerds, because we grouped up with the Android Visual Novels discord members. It's still quite active so hop on if you like.

    From checking the userlist I guess you are familiar with ppl like @Okarin @Tyrosyn @sanahtlig @Zakamutt @Okami and some others. We'll see if we can make this place alive again. Good to see you, that is for sure!

    Welcome back bro. I think we last spoke in 某 streamer's chat, wonder what happened to him with the... thing. Ah well. Depending on your availability we might be able to use you as a reviewer / guest reviewer again if interested, btw.

    Interested in providing content as a guest reviewer for sure, missed ya bud!

    Magic the Gathering? That's based.

    When I played, more than 20 years ago, I liked to make powerful, trendy decks (in the middle of Combo Winter, that wasn't such a hot idea). But the prices in Standard and Extended soon spiked, and I decided to call it quits.

    I wish I was rich enough to play it, and play it seriously. So far, just a pipe dream for me.

    No worries, just spend a fifth of your paycheck on it each month and you're golden :sacchya:

    Welcome back!

    I just come back few days ago myself also looking to see if I can reconnect with old userbase here too. Funny Rewrite, Song of Saya and G-Senjou no Maou ware all in my top favorites at some point too, thrue before I "Disconnected" from VNs and anime scene I was mostly reading only Yuri VNs and my favorites ended up being The Shadows of Pygmalion, Kindred Spirits on the Roof and Fatal Twelve. Right now I am trying to get back into VNs and anime and all, and I think I would probably go for psychological titles or JRPG/VN hybrids when I do start reading VNs again.

     

    @Zakamutt Oh I completely forgot to mention you in my own comeback topic, nice to see you are still around.

    Man, I loved Kindred Spirits, easily my favourite review I ever did as well.

    Heya,

    I used to be very active here many years ago, looking to catch up with the many wonderful people I met here but sadly lost contact with along the way. 

    A bit about me: I used to be a casual reader, did a few reviews for the website here back in the day. My fav VNs are Rewrite, Song of Saya and G-Senjou no Maou. These days I spend a lot of my time working (argh), playing magic the gathering (irl? woah!), playing table tennis and a bit of video gaming here and there when I have the time.

    Glad to be back! :miyako:

    What are your thoughts on Little Busters?

    Gonna approach this as a review

     

    Overall score 5/10

    Pros:
    - Colourful cast
    - Excellent true route

    - Kyousuke

    Cons:

    - Rather lame or completely ridiculous central conflict in most routes, making you feel very detached from the whole thing

    - Most characters are very one-dimensional and see very little growth as a character, even in their own respective routes

    - MC is a total bore, just a cardboard cut out

    - Lol, minigames

     

    I felt bored for the majority of the time reading this, sadly. Easily Key's worst VN to date. Can't recommend it unless you're a huge fan of their entire catalogue.

     

    My advice is just to read Rewrite instead :meguface:

    Not true (nsfw), Yurirei is actually a relatively tame 18+ VN with sex scenes and went to Steam uncensored. It might actually be more appropriate target for the purge than most of the stuff that was hit, even if I very much disagree with it being categorized as porn. 

    My god, I forgot that was in there. I mean, I still stand by my previous point of the whole thing being incredibly tame though :wafuu:

    Yup, I know, but notice that Valve's request was to censor the targeted games, not just a notice of taking them down because they're pornographic filth - I haven't played this one but all others I know and were targeted had nudity (and not much more, if speaking about Steam versions). If you say that TL was well-censored in its Steam release, then maybe they're randomly going by user tags without looking at the actual content, it's possible that even now I was giving Valve too much credit. 

    Pretty much, considering they're even targeting tame VN's like Kindred Spirits on the roof (which has absolutely zero nudity).

    There's a petition on change.org to make Valve reverse their desitions on HuniePop and other affected games. It obviously is extremely unlikely to work, but the more people show explicit discontent the more Valve will have to think about what they're doing.

    Also, Thank God for Jim Sterling. :nico:

    Was just about to post this. Almost at 7000 signatures and counting :meguface:

    Does this kind of thing actually help? I don't think valve will actually do anything different based on a video.

     

    Just now, tymmur said:

    I'm wondering the same thing. Like the video said, Valve doesn't care. They do whatever they think is the easiest for them unless it will seriously hurt their profits. What people think about Valve and their actions doesn't matter as long as people won't react by buying games elsewhere.

    He has a very significant audience and he's been doing this for years as well. We know Valve employees watch at least a few of his videos because they invited him over back when they did the platform overhaul a while back so he could discuss some of the improvements he had in mind for the platform. Only thing we can do at this point is trying to make them listen tbh. We should keep trying to protect the things we love, even if things seem dire.
