Nuka Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Was first thinking of Princess Evanglie but it seems like there are VN's with a better story/characters. Ef- A fairy tale of the two Yume Miru Kusuri Little Busters! Majikoi ?? Length doesnt matter, but I prefer something that hooks me pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Majikoi is the only one of those that's really an above average work... But it can be pretty unbearable if you dislike the type of heroine that shows up in that one. I'd give a 5~6 to most of the other VNs you listed, to be honest, and I wouldn't really recommend any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asonn Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Majikoi, however you either hate it or love it. and if you want a bit weird, uncommon stuff so to say, go for Yume Miru Kusuri DarkZedge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZedge Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai! or simply Majikoi. It's like Asonn said, you'll find both kinds of opinions those who hate it and those who love it. I belong to the latter group since Majikoi is one of my all time favorite Vn series. Hope you enjoy it if you end up playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Majikoi and Little Busters! are likely to hook you quickly. In both cases, if the start hooks you, then you'll probably enjoy them fully. Yume Miru Kurisu has a plot but it's far from norm. The routes tackle the subjects of Drugs, Bullying and... something else that's probably got to do with going crazy as a youngster. If you're interested in seeing those themes tackled in out of norm ways, try it out! ef ~A Fairy Tale of the Two~ is likely to be an emotional experience, but I haven't fully played it, so I can't properly comment. It did seem to have a slow start, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuka Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 What about Hoshizora no Memoria ~Wish upon a Shooting Star~? Thank you. I am also open for other suggestions! G senjou, Grisaia, Hirugashi, Umineko and Ever 17 are also on my list.. But I THINK i would prefer a love story/moege/eroge next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisu-Chan Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well, after steins;gate, i kind of understand you. That's why, i'm pushing up Little Busters, if you liked Katawa, why not go for the stuff that inspired it. Nuka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariurotl Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 No offense, but in your threads you seem to limit yourself for reasons I cannot understand. You've got a whole world of VNs to savor, but you keep making these lists with very few options. So I'm going to ignore your list altogether and recommend other things! For cutesy moe stuff with serviceable plot (since you considered Evangile before), I'd personally recommend Da Capo 2. It's one of the benchmarks of how these things should be done for me. If you want tons of cute characters (and much more sex), try Koihime Musou (MangaGamer currently has it on sale as well). One of my favorite oldtimey VNs is Crescendo. It's short but pretty good, and I like the flashback-heavy narrative. Canvas2 is another VN I'm partial to, but I'm in the minority. Same goes for Edelweiss (if you don't mind puerile humor). For more plot-oriented stuff, there are Sharin no Kuni, Chaos;Head, KiraKira, Suika A.S... But I guess the point is, it seems more productive to me if you just ask for recommendations rather than come up with these restrictive lists.

Kurisu-Chan Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 First time someone here recommend Chaos;Head, and i think it's the right time, looking how popular Re;Zero is, in my opinion, Chaos;Head nailed better the pathetic hikkikomori otaku char than Re;Zero. ヤミハナ and WinterfuryZX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very different types of stories, after all. The protagonist of Chaos;Head basically embraces what he is, says fuck off to everyone and goes to do his own thing for his own sake in his own pathetic way. Subaru is just a normal guy who (understandably) goes through some mental breakdown phases, lol. He's a character who goes through growth and stops being like that and that type of thing.

Also checked up on the LN, though not all of it. It's a very typical "find someone who needs help," "try to help but fail," "grow as a person during failure and understand what he was doing wrong," and "with his renewed resolve and newfound answers and mental growth, face the problem and win this time!" formula. It's just that the series mechanics allows for him to fail more than usual before that happens. Oh, I'm not saying it's unoriginal or anything, by the way. They go about the formula in a relatively novel way. He's still well within the boundaries of usual protagonists and usual character growth, though.

Silvz Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Umineko, of course. It fits the mood of the other two oh, KS is katawa shoujo? thought it was Kara no Shoujo. I recommend it, btw. Cartagra > Kara no Shoujo > Kara no shoujo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about what the author tries to achieve, and in both cases, it's the same objective. Aka Otaku shaming, both works are trying to attack the otaku style of life(even if Chaos;Head is way, way more extreme n that case) that's what i said.

Nuka Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I will FOR SURE read Chaos;Head!! Its on my list. I LOVED S;G and I have my doubts that anything can top it... May be better to read something else to "forget about it" a little before starting a title with similarities..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about that at all, and it was just a comment on how differently the protagonists handle themselves and why one would make for a more popular story that appeals to a larger crowd, so sure, I guess. I actually feel like neither work tries to do otaku shaming, but we've derailed this thread enough and that's a story for another day.

Fred the Barber Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Little Busters! is extremely divisive. I loved it, probably in part because I read it when I was so new to VNs; lots of people hate it, or at best think it's mediocre. Thematically, it's definitely the lightest of all the games you listed, if that matters to you, although Majikoi is mostly pretty light as well; personally I like stuff that isn't too heavy, which Yume Miru Kusuri at times was.

Let's put things now, Chaos;Head is completely different from steins;gate, there's nothing in common more than the meta story, the general tone, the characters, the themes, the story, everything is different, From your list, i'll advise you to read Little Busters, even if Kaguya don't agree with me, it's still a good thing.

Silvz Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 guys, please, avoid spoilers here, even small ones from Re: zero :< Lykkelille, seriously, try Umineko no Naku Koro ni! It is incredible, different from S;G but as good as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
