Gav Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hello all! I discovered VNs after kotaku published an article on Katawa Shoujo and now I can't get enough! While searching for torrents on the pirate bay I came across fuwanovel and completely agree with everything that fuwanovel stands for. Read Katawa Shoujo Clannad Fate/stay night Muv-Luv Alternative Little Busters! Tsikihime Tomoyo After ~It's a wonderful life~ Currently Reading Rewrite (reading as it is being translated) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (just when I'm bored on my phone) G-senjou no Maou Favourite VN: Little Busters! Least Favourite: Muv-Luv Alternative (it was a little too dark for me) Favourite Character: Kurugaya Yuiko (because she's sexy) I mostly enjoy drama/romance/comedy VNs. I really enjoy anything by Key as they always make me cry. I've started to learn japanese so I can help translate VNs and I also want to help create a western VN in the future. Thanks for reading :)/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 We are really glad to have you. That's an impressive list of classics right there : ) How's the Japanese coming? I'm in the Kanji-stage right now, and while I'm enjoying it, I'm really looking forward to grammar and vocab building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've not had a lot of spare time to study it since I've been a university so I've only managed to get about half way through katakana and hiragana. I have learned a few kanji for basics such as common animals, but I'm trying to get my kana down first. I have been using an iOS app called iStart Kana which has been really useful although I haven't been practicing writing at all. I have a lot of spare time today so I think I'm going to brush up so I can progress some more over the weekend. And I have just been reading the top rated games on VNDB, allow though there have been a few that I have gotten bored while reading so I gave up (Steins;gate and Ever 17).

Steve Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Welcome! LB is my favorite VN as well, together with Hoshimemo (check that out). Also love everything from KEY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzion Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi and welcome! Awesome that you're reading through Rewrite, I'm doing it too and waiting for next translation, without spoilering do you like it so far? It's one of my all time favorite right now. :)/>/>/> Key, Type-moon and Nitro+ is my favorite VN creators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Welcome, to the, DARK side of the moon! Just kidding~~ I am currently learning japanese as well, dedication and years are the most important factors it seems. Being busy alot too, I cut down abit on doing whatever and do study jap about 30 min each day. I love Key as well, they make amazing vn's. Looking forwards to reading Rewrite which is soon done. (I want the complete translation.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Welcome! LB is my favorite VN as well, together with Hoshimemo (check that out). Also love everything from KEY. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check it out! Hi and welcome! Awesome that you're reading through Rewrite, I'm doing it too and waiting for next translation, without spoilering do you like it so far? It's one of my all time favorite right now. :)/>/>/>/>/> Key, Type-moon and Nitro+ is my favorite VN creators. I am enjoying rewrite, but probably not as much as Little Busters!. To me it feels like KEY borrowed a few ideas from the type-moon universe and Kotarou drives me insane with his stupidity sometimes (not as bad as Shiki in Tsukihime though). Chihaya was my favourite route and she has become one of my all time favourite characters! I am excited for the release of the Terra, Moon and Oppai Ending routes now :)/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main reason for learning japanese is also just so I don't have to wait for translations For my degree I have chosen to study music technology, maybe one day I'll create a soundtrack for a VN!
