Thatcomicguy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) It doesn't really matter if it came out this year or if you've only gotten around to reading an older one in these past nine months. So what have you guys been enjoying the most this year so far? For me my number one choice would be Majikoi *I'm counting them all as one here as I read the main two games and A-1& A-2 one after the other* which I finally read in February. Second would be Frontwing's Corona Blossom, which I'm just finishing off while writing this but currently I'd give it a 9/10 for how fresh it feels after reading a few too many similarly generic VN's one after another. Third and Finally is Wagamama High Spec. I've been keeping an eye on this one up too it's release as the premise of the protagonist being a manga author seemed pretty cool, though ultimately while it was a big part in the VN it didn't really focus on it as much as I was hoping but hey we're not buying these types of VN's for that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) But I still enjoyed it enough to be hopefully the fandisc which just came out in Japan a few days ago will one day be translated. So those are mine, what about you guys?

Beichuuka Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 KKK automatically wins since it's the only (unread) VN I've read this year. I found it a lot easier to get into than Dies, so I'd recommend it even for those people who weren't too happy with Dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not_At_All Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Haven't read that many yet, but my top 3 so far this year would be: 3. Steins;Gate 0 - Liked Maho a lot and had fun reading it, because it is more Steins;Gate, but it was considerably weaker than the original. 2. Virtue's Last Reward - Read the Zero Escape trilogy very recently and the second game stood out most for me. It had a few great characters and a couple of cool plot twists. 1. Grisaia no Meikyuu - Read the trilogy a few months back. This one wasn't as good as GnK (it was a re-read this year, so it doesn't count), but far better than Rakuen. Yuuji's past was really interesting and it made me view him a bit differently as a character and I had a completely different impression on Asako from the little bits of information I had in GnK. Also the after stories were nice. Honorable mention to Crescendo which would probably be here if it wasn't so short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canicheslayer Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 For the moment, my best VNs are (ex-aequo, I should add) : - Lucy -The Eternity She Wished For- This gorgeous robot moved me to tears. - Air A (very) beautiful and (very, very) sad story. And the casting is really memorable. - Quartett I love Ooyari-sensei, music was my first love, and Slice of Life is the best. And Argiano Sisters are cuties.

Zidan209 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 From the 4 VNs i've been reading, clearly G-Senjou no Maou and Steins;gate 0. And I even put those 2 in my top VNs. An intense battle of wits with sharp characters is just the thing for me. The same goes for time travel sci-fi, so it's obvious i enjoyed those a great deal. The other 2 are Majikoi and Grisaia no Kajitsu. While i enjoy comedies, they just can't match a more serious story. And that's probably a fact since ancient greek culture, where comedies were considered primitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolverk Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Soukou Akki Muramasa, without a doubt. Glad I finally managed to coerce myself to play it. It is one of the best vn's I've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyle80 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 In terms of New releases Chrono Clock so far when the 18+ patch for Grisaia hits (hopefully this year?) will probably be that, such a long wait lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamysyu Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Fata Morgana, I guess. I read it in the very beginning of the year, but it wasn't really outshined by anything after that. I haven't really read many VNs this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainLegacy535 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I got to say Monmusu Quest! Surprised me in a very good way and Ikinari Anata ni Koishiteiru was really fun, a little too much of H, but great after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codesterz Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Only 2 VN have managed to hold my interest all the way through this year and that was Hatsukoi 1/1 and to my surprise Wagamama High Spec. I didn't expect to like Wagamama High Spec much, but it has definitely been one of the more enjoyable reads of the year. I've tried to read Da Capo 3 and Dal Segno, but got bored and lost interest within a few hours. Sooner or later I plan to try Princess Evangile W Happiness , but I'm not to hopeful for it. Libra's translations was a fail so I doubt I'll read it any year soon. Almost forgot about 11eyes I plan to give this one a read eventually. Not sure if I have much expectations for it though which is why I still haven't gotten to reading it yet. So far though the year has been pretty so-so. No amazing releases, 2 decent ones, 2 boring, 1 fail translation, 2 I'll get to them eventually. If I didn't mention a VN that released this year it's either a Nukige(prolly read it was meh like all nukige are), All Ages(no interest in reading), or just something I don't care about in general.

For me the problem for ChronoClock was it's routes, the common and Makoto's route's were great, Michiru's was so slow I got so bored from it and Misaki's route just felt more like Michiru having another route to herself than Misaki getting one. I left D.D last before getting the unlockable ones as I hated her character haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I liked the imouto route, it wasnt half-bad, best was Makoto though and Cro's route was really good i recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleshogun Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 As for mine, well to tell the truth I didn't play much VN this year here because mostly I just tried new released VNs there lol. Although if I may tell what I was enjoyed (And finished) here, it was Deardrops that I was finished as part of VN Reading Club. There's also enjoyed Flyable Heart in which I enjoyed playing Suzuno's route here even with the patch that had crappy translation there. There's also Wagahigh in which is surprisingly tame in regard of fanservice considering that the girls boobs was quite big, so much that it's pretty normal if we expect fanservice involving boobs - I still didn't finished this though. That's all that I could say for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pual Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Conquering the Queen is a heartwarming romance story about some kingdom's princess and a knight with shining horse armor. So definitely one of my favorites this year. Other than that Edelweiss & S;G 0 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
