So you have played your first visual novel game and finally arrived at the greatest moment in it: the h-scene. You have been faced with a difficult decision that will affect humanity.... in a way. The heroine is awaiting your decision, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she knows you are about to unleash your white minions. You are at your limit and you have to make this decision in the next 5 seconds or suffer the consequences... The question is where? You as a protagonist have a mission or missions (if you reload that save anyway): To be a responsible adult and not create an unnecessary life by pulling out your hyper weapon at the opportune moment because apparently it is the greatest contraception method in the visual novel world and then spray her like a busted fire hydrant OR Satisfy her fully: figuratively and literally by providing your love, warmth, and DNA even if she says "It's a safe day;" you don't believe in safe days or you are just too lazy or exhausted to pull out, so you remain inside. If you chose outside, despite covering the precious heroine with your essence and creating chaos made of white fluids all over the place, cleaning the whole place, even if it's the classroom, the rooftop, the library, the balcony or the church will be no problem, and you and the heroine will somehow manage to cleanse all the foul odors and pigments and smile at each other as if you've just robbed a bank without anyone noticing. Apparently you can use sorcery to block people's sense of smell so you and the heroine can totally walk around crowded streets without any suspicion. People who support the Way of the Outside are Ninja-class by default. If you chose inside, the heroine can never be become an expectant mother unless The P.L.O.T. demands it. The P.L.O.T. is more powerful than Jesus Himself. It can make babies appear or not appear with the heroine or the protagonist's will alone, so the protagonist can keep releasing inside 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 times without any problems. People may consider it "convenience", but I believe this is more of a miracle. "Inside" protagonists are also environment friendly, making sure the "predicament" can easily be wiped off with a single tissue as opposed to the wasteful "Outsiders" who require a dozen of them. People who follow the Way of the Inside are Hikikomori-class by default because they truly acknowledge that the inside is paradise and anything outside is corrupt, repulsive, and unacceptable. So once again, the ultimate question: inside or outside?

So, yesterday I ordered Little Busters EX. I researched a little bit and found that there's a spin off title called "Kud Wafter" focusing on one of the other characters I assume. With a quick scroll through Ebay, I found that the imagery (especially on the back.) of the physical copy was a little concerning. I generally only want to buy it for the sake of being one step closer to completing my Key/Visual Arts PC game collection. I know for Little Busters EX, as well as this title there's no English Patch, (completed that is) so, having them up on my shelf is good enough. Also, I know that there was an "All Ages" version released which would be the better option as I'm not a HUGE fan of the H-scenes..but it's only for the PSP? I considered purchasing the item, but then again, customs might pick up on it and it'd raise some eyebrows. Have any of you guys had any issues with this sort of thing? I'm from Australia.

The purpose of this thread is to have fellow Fuwanovelians help each other determine the game of where the unknown CG or heroine is from. It's not fun when you find this great looking heroine or amazing CG scene but don't know what game it's from and it can be quite frustrating to look for it. All of us have played all sorts of visual novels and some of us are very knowledgeable about this stuff so I thought this would be a helpful resource to share a potentially interesting game and discuss more about it. As an added perk and possibly to boost people's ego confidence and for bragging rights, every time you helped someone determine what game the CG/heroine is from, you will gain a point and placed on a ranking. Just a little motivation is all. Rank so far: #1 Kiriririri - 7 points #2 mitchhamilton - 2 points #3 Flutterz - 1 point Zenophilious - 1 point binaryfail - 1 point I personally have dozens of these unknown CGs/heroines, but I'll start with this one because it looks very interesting and I want to play it just to get this scene: I found this in google images when I searched for "harem endings", but I can't seem to find out where it's from. The game's art looks very familiar to me but I just can't put my finger on it...

Yeah so we have been doing this like all week now; make an opposite thread. So yeah, this one is the opposite of favorite visual novel genres by virginsmasher. What are your least favorite visual novel genres? Doesn't have to be something you absolutely hate of course, but one you are just fed up with at this point for example. Personally I´m really not a fan of nakige. It usually just ends up feeling forced. TAKE OUR DRAMA! TAKE IT!!! Ohh and then, happy end. So basically, unnecessary drama tags. Oh and trap. Yes Jade. You heard me.

Since Haruka about to be released (Well, still 39 days later actually, but back in VNDB I started Princess Evangile discussion 41 days before release), I figured I think I should started the discussion here. From the title, of course we should express our gratitude to arunaru, who back in June he was suspended his Rance VI translation in order to accept job from Mangagamer. A choice which of course would be guaranteed many anger from the people who expected Rance VI for a long time, although for Haruka translation actually arunaru managed to keep his standard pacing for translating, less than 6 month iirc to complete the translation of a script which considered long visual novel in VNDB. For the game itself, actually it was like nukige as doddler said, because the sex scene in there was quite a lot, and I'd already checked the CG for Haruka by the way. The story itself is our MC was meeting with very beautiful transfer girl and when he meet the girl again, he saw the girl as the ninja fighting the villain and suddenly the girl ask MC to have sex with her. From there the girl introduce herself as Haruka and our MC revealed to be the next leader of a ninja clan which Haruka belong. Oh and by the way our MC always followed by his landlord daughter, Narika who also will be revealed that she was a ninja along with Haruka. Since the company behind Haruka was Alice Soft, normally we would expect gameplay. In this case we had raising sim in order to raise the girls stat by, well have sex duh (Of course, since it was called nukige not for nothing). In case you didn't get it you'll have sex with the girls to up their status. Of course the status will be important to prepare ourself for the fighting, which almost always will be happen in the night. Oh speaking about night, we had the system called day, which if we recall Sengoku Rance or Daibanchou it means turn, and we had time limit 99 days to beat the game (I still didn't sure if it's right or not). Looks like I couldn't explain it well, so I'll leave it to arunaru's twitter for brief info or aroduc's (Kamidori and Galaxy Angel translator) review of Haruka for more info. I knew you had some post here, arunaru and if possible you may use this thread for Haruka's question and answer to Fuwanovel's user here. For the cast, we got our MC, the girls (Haruka, Narika, Subaru (Will be joined later)), and the villains. I'll talk about the villain first since I think the setting for the villain was quite usual for Japan. I mean what's with 4 Gods setting thing? Anyway, we got Orochimaru who represent East and Seiryu (The voice according to JP Wiki was Kentarou Itou who voiced Kurou back in Demonbane), Kikyodayou who represent South and Suzaku (Her voice was Iida Kuu who voiced Kouchuu back in Koihime Musou), Ittou Hagane who represent West and Byakko (His voice was Uozomi in Kara no Shoujo), and from the look I think he was the most handsome from all of the villain and quite honorable lol (I knew I'm bad at judging someone), and finally the boss of the villain who represent North and Genbu Ensai Mukroi, a blind monk. Oh for the heroine, Haruka was voiced by Sakurai Harumi (Lily from Himegari, Akari from Noble Works, Saya from Little Busters EX), Narika by Aoba Ringo aka Ringorin (Maya from Noble Work, Sayane from Soukoku no Arterial, Nemu from euphoria), and Subaru by Kawashima Rino (Haru from G-Senjou, Nagisa from Koi Resort, Serawi from Kamidori, and many more). We also had name like Hokuto Minami (Primula from Shuffle, Miki from Muv Luv franchise, Sakura from Da Capo franchise) and Oukawa Mio (Colette from Himegari, Bachou from Koihime Musou, Eris from Sono Hanabira franchise), who according to lousy translation of Google Translate was voiced the brainwashing victim, although I didn't certain 100% though. In any case, Minami voiced Minazuki and Oukawa voiced Almail. Oh although we had good seiyuu for this game, this game only partially voiced though, although Mangagamer promised us to hear heroine's voice in H-Scene. I think that's all for the info. Use this thread as discussion for Haruka in near future. And let's have video for awesome Haruka OP from Mangagamer here. Once again thanks to arunaru for translating this game. PS By the way could I ask how to embed video here? Sorry. PPS Thank mod Zenophilius. Turn out it was just as easy as copy and paste the link from Youtube, because in the past it was quite complicated to embed the video from Youtube. Edit (February 23rd) - Because unfortunate incident from Mangagamer side, the released was delayed until February 29th.

So I'm looking for Vn's with Tsunderes in them but i don't want to play just anything , i'd rather it being a good vn overall and also wante to ask opinions on who's the best Tsundere from any Vn for you guys. I'd have to go with Her : As always thanks for helping me keep building my "To-Read" List with great imputs

Basically i've heard there has been a partial patch released but in contrast i've also heard that the translation was stalled since the translator in charge retired, does anyone know what it's going on with this vn's translation or wether or not it'll be completed? i really want to play this one since i've heard great things about it. I appreciate any information, thanks

Hi everyone! So being new to VN's, I (regrettably) haven't actually finished a VN 100% with all routes yet, but I've almost done it with If My Heart Had Wings (IMHHW) with the FTL Restoration Patch. This one's going to be the first VN I've fully completed. The first VN I ever read was Katawa Shoujo, but this was many years ago and I only completed Hanako's route because I was too satisfied with her to play it again for a while. I do plan to finish all the other routes for that one too though at some point in the future. But for now I've got my eyes on The Fruit of Grisaia after I complete IMHHW. So technically even though I haven't completed any of them yet, I have actually played a total of two VN's to this date. I'm very curious to see how many VN's people have played who have been reading for years! (If you can be bothered to try and count and remember them all, aha!)

The title once again says it all. The first VN that I'll open the thread for discussion this year was this VN. In Mangagamer Staff Blog, they announced it'll be released on February 12th, so guess I'd open the thread 28 days too early lol. Anyway, the premise was like one loner girl names Yuna who always timid and alone was approaching by 2 ghosts. One of them was the student from before World War 2 and another was from around the same year as Higurashi - 1980's. Both ghosts was girl by the way, and they asked Yuna for create more yuri couple at the school, which was all girl school by the way. For the game format, since it was Liarsoft I think it'll something like Yuri Couple of the Week although I couldn't say much about this yet. The graphic to be honest not very good compared to Gakthun, but maybe this kind of graphic will be acceptable for this kind of VN. As for the review, I couldn't find any review that review this game fully, although from VNDB, it'll be around 7 I think. For the seiyuu, according to VNDB, they will be each voiced 2 character in this VN, except for MC seiyuu. The recognizeable name are Kusayanagi Junko, Oukawa Mio, Rita (Also the OP singer), and Kaneda Mahiru. While the rest was got less recognizeable role in VNs. And for the MC (Yuna), the voice was Kawashima Rino, who as I commented she was almost anywhere in any VN. As for Kawashima role, she was Haru in G-Senjou, Characters in translated Steampunk (Kia in Inganock, Mary in Sharnoth, and Emilie in Gakthun), Serawi in Kamidori, Nagisa in Koi Suru Natsu no Last Resort, and Yukari in Kara no Shoujo. For untranslated one she was Subaru in Beat Blade Haruka, Yuki in Subahibi, Narumi in Soukoku no Arterial, Alphimia in Madou Koukaku, and many more. Oh she also voiced Katahane MC (Male one), Cero. I think this VN for now was lack of review, although that didn't mean you should ignore this VN. I think this VN will be good for yuri fan. Oh about Steam release, I think since Liarsoft title almost always managed to not show explicit sexual content (Maybe) so far, I think this game is able to slip into Steam reasonable. Use this thread as discussion for this game, although it was 28 days too early lol.

As the title says and even though i've seen the top 5 threads, i'm making it a bit different here and hope it's to everyone's liking: Basically you have to pick : Favorite Heroine, Favorite MC, Favorite Ost or song from a Vn and then their counterparts which are Most hated heroine, most hated MC and least favorite Ost (If you have any) and i hope everyone has a lovely time making their choices ^^ ( and as a bonus if you're confident enough you guys can pick your favorite Vn aswell ^^) Favorite Heroine: Hinamori Kagome (Coμ) : I recently placed her second on a top five list but after thinking it a bit i came to realize just how much i love this girl overall, her attitude, desing, personality...EVERYTHING Favorite MC: Naoe Yamato ( Majikoi, Majikoi S and the A series) : To me he's extremely likeable although not the most badass but he fits right in Favorite OST or Song: I just love it, nothing else to say about it haha AND NOW THE COUNTERPARTS! Least Favorite Heroine: Aoi Isuzu (Hoshizora no Memoria): Pretty self explanatory, i won't go into detail... Least Favorite MC: Itou Makoto (School Days): Do you know him? if not well you're lucky, i just despise this dude completely.. And i don't really have a least favorite Ost or song but that's because i haven't read those many Vn's yet as to have found some that are bad or dislikeable overall... Well and that's my list, i'm eager to see everyone else's lists and learn more about vn's ^^ hope you like the idea and thread

Does anyone know where i could find progress information on how the translation is going for Grisaia no Mekyuu and Grisaia no Rakuen? the last thing i saw was Sekai project's kickstarter for the games but i went to their page last night and no info was around either only Grisaia no Kajitsu for sale on their web along with their other Vn's...So does anyone know anything about it?

https://vndb.org/v18797 I want to talk about Blood Code a VN with Datng Sim element so you can buy throught Steam, since I have just buy the game myself. I just want to say it's very amazing game with unigue story and characther. Gameplay in the game are very amazing and I like how we can train the magic power. And I like mystery in the game to. So i have couple of question for there. 1. have you buy Blood Code? 2. What do you like about Blood Code? 3. What do you dislike about Blood Code? 4. Who it's your favorite characther? 5. Which characther do you dislike? 6. Do you have any feedback and critigue about Blood Code? That was all for now and I hope we can have fun chat about Blood Code. Novel21

Basically i'm having a hard time deciding which one to play next so i thought i'd run it by you guys and see what your thoughts on them are - Comyu Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku - Cross Channel - Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate - Ikinari Anata ni Koishiteiru I've only started Cross Channel out of these but found myself a bit stuck through it plus i was told that you don't actually replay it for different routes but instead goes by week with one heroine each week or something along those lines, the others i've only read a bit while doing research and found them intriguing...so which of these (if any) would you say it's best to start with? Thanks as always ^^

So a few days ago I started to play this one after finding about it but thus far i'm really liking it and i have to say that i'm surprised i hadn't heard anything about it from anyone, not here or in other places so i thought that maybe people didn't think highly of it? or maybe they did and didn't remember.. here i am making a post to hear you guys opinion about it ( please no spoilers? xD) haven't finished it yet ^^ Thanks

Looks like this year Christmas mean aggressive release of Visual Novel Translation, Gakthun and Noble Works. Since Decay already opened a discussion for Gakthun (Actually I also want to open Gakthun discussion, but after reconsidering it, better not), so I'll take my part to open Noble Works discussion. If some of you already saw my KoiChoco discussion, you surely know what my post format would be. Anyway, Noble Works premise to be honest was quite standard. I mean how many VN that have story our poor MC joined as elite high school students (Although this time he work as double for another student who had same face as MC) ? For translated one, we had Evangile and Otoboku iirc. For anyone who played and well versed in Japan, could you fill me the VN list with same premise? For the review, there is only one review from Aedes, and he said that this work was quite average. Here's the review. Although he said that the game is mediocre, but taste for each people of course different, so don't get discourage to try Noble Works, okay? The main draw of Noble Work to me was the seiyuu to be honest, especially for the heroine. Well as usual, I'll list the heroine, the role in VN, and which VN that had their work (Translated one and what VN I've know). 1. Kanemoto Akari - Your double older sister, and the daughter of Kanemoto conglomerate, which in game was one of the conglomerate who had major influence for the nation. Quite shy and apparently the maid teach her sex education using doujinshi, also she saw yaoi lol. The voice was provided by Manaka Umi, real name Sakurai Harumi. In translated VN, she mostly voiced sub character though. Her voice was Oone Kyouko from Sharin no Kuni, Rosetta from Romanesque, Sakaue Youko from Yumina the Ethereal, and Itagaki Ami from Majikoi. Oh, she was also voiced Tokido Saya in Little Busters EX, Takamori Haruka in Beat Blade Haruka, and Lily from Himegari. 2. Kunihiro Hinata - Our MC kouhai or younger schoolmate (Just in case some of you here new to VN or anime in general). Quite rich, but not as rich as Akari or Shizuru I think. Also apparently you could play billiard in her chest XDD (Hey, it's from translated scene, okay) She was voiced by Sasa Tsuyuka. Her real name was Nabatame Hitomi. As we know, Nabatame also quite famous seiyuu in the anime, although that didn't mean she have not much role in Visual Novel of course. Anyway, her role in VN was Shirakawa Nanaka in Da Capo 2, Nanashi in Duel Savior (In PS2 and we could hear her voice if we used PS2 Voice in Duel Savior patch), Tonami Yuma in To Heart 2, Aoi Sena in Chaos Head, Bazett Fraga McRemitz from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia PSV and Stacy Connor in Majikoi. Also Minazuki Sora in Baldr Sky duology. 3. Masamune Shizuru - One of students at MC new school, also granddaughter of Kanemoto conglomerate rival CEO. Very bad at shogi, and MC teach her how to play shogi. The voice was Natsunoo Koori, real name Taguchi Hiroko. She was one of well known eroge seiyuu because she was voiced Sumika (At least back in eroge games forum I've always heard that someone said that .... voiced by Sumika or something like that) and she had quite many role in translated VN as heroine. Her role was Kagami Sumika in Muv Luv franchise, Suou Amane in Grisaia franchise, Miyamura Miyako in ef, Hinata Natsumi in Sharin no Kuni, Crayanne in Kamidori, Kohaku in Shinigami no Kiss, and Kitsuki Riho in recently translated Koi Suru Natsu Last Resort. For untranslated VN, she was voiced Kasugano Sora in Yosuga no Sora and Yarai Miu in Dracu Riot. 4. Nagamitsu Maya - Your classmate and daughter of Yakuza, although she hate the corruption in the world and she loves filming that matter (Ironic since the yakuza I've known usually dealing with backhand politician thing or something like that). Quite skilled at martial artist. The voice was Aoba Ringo, known to fans as Ringorin. From the list in VNDB, she had the most credit for her singing in VN OP, but among heroine seiyuu for now she had the least credit for translated VN. Her role was Qoo Little-Little in My Girlfriend is the President, Sakurai Kanade in Deardrops, and Manaka Nemu in recently translated infamous euphoria. Oh my opinion for euphoria that the OP once again is very good with her singing, but the content looks like too extreme. Well, to each of their own. For untranslated one, she was voiced Shiina Sayane in Soukoku no Arterial and Shihodou Narika in Beat Blade Haruka. 5. Tsukiyama Sena - Kanemoto's family maid, and her wish was becoming Kanemoto's head family. Apparently she also students and attend the school with Akari and MC. Also last translated route. So we've had maid as heroine. Anyway, her voice was provided by Gogyou Nazuna and her real name was Ryouko Ono. Her role was Kusagawa Sasara in To Heart 2, Belle in Katahane, Kitajima Kaede in Sono Hanabira series, Amamiya Shizuku in Shinigami no Kiss, Melodiana in Kamidori and Mochizuki Amane in If My Heart Had Wing (Which infamously had the H-Scenes ripped for international release). Also she was voiced Migiwa Kazuha in Yosuga no Sora and Liselle L'ourson in Madou Koukaku. One more info. I've read in Aedes review that the game extra had instrumental version of heroine character song. So I've assume looks like Yuzusoft had some quite high production value for have the seiyuu for the heroine singing the character song. If you want to hear character image song, I'll give you the link for each Character Song, and the singer once again obviously the seiyuu for the character. 1. Kanemoto Akari 2. Kunihiro Hinata 3. Masamune Shizuru - Don't get fooled by Sena picture, okay. 4. Nagamitsu Maya - Same warning as with Shizuru Image Song. 5. Tsukiyama Sena I think that's all for the info that I could use to started Noble Works discussion. Well use this thread as discussion, okay. And let's find out who's your best girl in Noble Works. PS Almost forgot, thanks to fiddle and keisuke-kun (Sorry if I'm wrong) for translating this game. Edit (February 22nd) - Sorry for very extremely late, but our @Clephas also write his impression of this game back at VNDB. Here's the review in case you curious. Edit 2 - Since Christmas was already past 2 months, and easter will be around in 1 month anyway, guess I'll remove the Christmas part. Edit 3 - I'd forgot to said that this is the first Yuzusoft VN that finally got the translation, while in the past I was kinda hopeless that VN from Yuzusoft and August will got fully translated (And I rant that at erogegames forum). But, apparently fiddle and keisuke-kun prove me wrong by released the complete translation of Noble Works. So, thanks again to those two, for translating this VN from Yuzusoft.

So this game has been sitting on my backlog for a year now and I just got notified an English patch for the PC came out for it like a couple weeks ago? This game is already on the PS3 but I believe that one is censored/LOLallages version? Anyways, the H-scenes are untranslated but the story/interface are all in English now. If you want to see the h-scenes, you may need to create 2 folders of game, one with the English patch and one without. One without will have the h-scenes to available as long as you have the save file. Game info: https://vndb.org/v6458 NEW: Eiyuu Senki Gold Dressbreak CGs: http://www.mediafire.com/download/asgh7ans6k748da/Eiyuu+Senki+Gold+Dressbreak+CGs.zip The setting is pretty similar to Sengoku Rance where you conquer lands and fight leaders all based on real life people (like Oda Nobunaga, Marco Polo, Sun Tzu, Caesar, King Arthur, Columbus, etc.) but are genderbended as females. It has an unnamed protagonist who is a little less forceful and more female friendly than Rance, so imo he seems more likable. The gameplay is rather addicting and you have can have these many units at once! I love the combat interface and it's very easy to understand after an hour or so of playing. The story is linear but you can choose which country (or babe) you want to conquer first. Also..... Lu Bu, one of my favorite characters from Dynasty Warriors has now been transformed into one hot and feisty chick (the one on the far right): Although I don't mind this version. She's quite a looker.

Hello boys and girls of fuwa! Christmas is just around the corner, so on that note, merry christmas everyone! That also means that the end of the year is coming up, and so I wanted to ask, what has been your favorite VN moment of 2015? If you haven't really read any new titles, you can mention a moment from an old novel that you have read this year, of course. It also doesn't have to be a moment from a VN, but something that has happened on the forum or maybe a kickstarter campain or upcoming title that was announced this year etc etc. Please remember to use spoiler tags and write above the spoiler what title its from if its needed, so the thread isnt a minefield of spoilers. The release of Clannad in the west was something I've been uber hyped for and it was actually also one of the reasons I came to Fuwa, so that is quite memorable thing for me. Also, my favorite VN moment of 2015 has been getting my sanity completely shattered and played with by Euphoria's true ending ... Anyways, again, merry christmas to everyone, and I look forward to seeing what 2016 has in store for us

I just finished the VN, I enjoyed every bit of it. Well, this one is heavy spoiler weighted, so... you've been warned. From now on, every attempt to see things you should not see, will be your own responsability. What do you think, guys? Is the true end conceptually a mistake?

Wanted to get a few names so i could read more because i can't find many Vn's with female MC...maybe i suck at finding but which would you guys recommend? Thanks ^^

Hi guys I am a big fan of the Muv-Luv series, I've read a lot of the visual novels and only recently started watching the anime Muv-Luv total eclipse, but after finishing it It felt like a lot was missing, and there is no season 2 for it to follow up with So I searched the internet and couldn't find anywhere to buy/download it so I could play through it and get the full experience rather than learning what happens over the internet So anyone got any links that can help? Thanks in advance!

I keep reading about this VN and the opinions i've found thus far are quite mixed, one would argue that that is the case for most since opinions always go according to each person's taste but i'd like to know what you guys think of it and if you recommend it or not, this is beacause i just noticed it's out on steam where i hadn't seen it before soo, think i should give it a try or it isn't any good? Thanks for the help ^^

Personally i do like this one and i'm currently reading it's follow up Tick, Tack then ill do Really?Really! as i understand it they're a series though with different focus right? here's the question though, why are there so many people who look down on Shuffle! or the series in general. It's no masterpiece i get that but it's not downright awful either as some people make others think. Opinions, thoughts?

forget about gameplay, long story or short, characters, art, music and where you played it. if you play the game for the cliche then why do it? simple answer, if i explain my actions certain people will complain about this community being perfect english and everything needs to be perfect english.

So i heard a while back that a small translation team was working on them, so far this is the progress on A-1 and no news as of the other four thus far but i hope they'll do them all. https://skyspeartranslations.wordpress.com/progress/majikoi-a-1-progress/ I don't know if anyone else is as hyped as i am about this but i had to share it even if it's still out there somewhere, despite Majikoi S having a bit too much H i still love the series Thoughts on the series or project?

Started reading Euphoria but don't have a walkthrough. Can anyone help? The VN is pretty long so and seems like the heroine choices matter a lot. A walkthrough would help a lot, need one badly. .
