Imationer Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi Fuwans. I want to start learning Japanese specifically with reading VNs in mind. With that set, could you recommend me some titles that have a somewhat easy-to-understand Japanese? It would be awesome if you could give me more complicated titles too, so I can have a higher goal. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 If you go to this post, in the "practice material" section, you will find two links pointing to this kind of advice (© Clephas). You can also ask the man (Clephas) himself a tailored recommendation in his thread that's lying somewhere in VN talk. Last but not least, among the recommendations I pointed out, you will find Draculius, which I'm myself currently reading, and so far it's perfect practice material.

Yeah, that is why I generally suggest it. It is the best non-moege to start playing VNs in Japanese with. Relatively simple language for most of the game makes it an easy way to begin. Asking me for a tailored recommendation when you just want something easy will just have me suggest either this or a random moege. Edit: I might also suggest http://vndb.org/v100 if you wanted something softer (violence-wise). As non-Key nakige go, it is pretty good. The language is also relatively easy.

Well, I have to admit that was pretty vague, but since I'm relatively new to the VN scene, I don't know very well what to ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusAnon Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 School moeges are generally easiest of them.Specifically I'd advice Hanahira (all-ages, yuri, and simplest language) and other games from same company (but they are translated already mostly), SMEE games, Lovely x Cation series.

Clephas Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Moege are VNs that exist only to provide fanservice, archetypical heroines (like tsundere, Kud-style lolis, and osananajimi), and general cuteness/soft and gooey emotional drama (though not to the extent Key lays it on, usually).

Its quite hard to diligently process each sentence in fight/sex/drama scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 lol, I didn't mean it as an insult to moege. I use it as a derogatory term frequently, but in this case, I'm referring to it as a simple descriptor. There are lots of VN-lovers who like the gooey stuff, after all.
