UnlimitedMoeWorks Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) So TV Tropes has a page where it tries to define the common VN terms. See here. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/VisualNovelFanspeak Personally, I have issues with it because some of the definitions it has are either misleading or just plain wrong.

LemiusK Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Hm, it is useful in learning about the different -ges, but I did suspect that its definition of "charage" might be a bit off, from what I've read about charages around the forum. Still, like I said, it's useful for VN-noobs like myself, especially the "Kamige" explanation. Phewie, just found the kamige thread on Fuwa. Time to add lots to wishlist! Edit: On an unrelated note, someone really should update that Kamige thread. lol Some of the "untranslated" titles are already out on Steam.

Charage is I think the least defined term among them all, so it's hard to tell either way. And, BTW, I think you can freely edit TVTropes articled once you make an account? Maybe we could improve this page through community effort? Maybe not today though, I'm busy with Steam Autumn Sale summary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plk_Lesiak Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Just now, Dreamysyu said: It's still defined better than kamige. I've heard that "神ゲー" translates directly to "games that I really like and I'm going to shill for every opportunity I get". At least, it's the only definition that matters.

Happiness+ Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 To be fair, where should one get better definitions of these words anyway? Because a while ago, I was trying to understand the term moege from these tv tropes until @Clephas enlightened me about it. It's not like the VNDB can offers solid definitions for such terms anyway. At least TV tropes is helping this @UnlimitedMoeWorks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It's amazing that the only definitions in there that were remotely correct were utsuge, lolige, ichaicha and kamige... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
