edwd2 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The heroine that can't cook well but try their best to cook for the protagonist kind of development. Probably because I'm pretty good at cooking heheh (fried noodles are my specialty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysrumble Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The tsundere martial-artist heroine who calls the protagonist a pervert and chases him around. This shouldn't be a guilty pleasure because it seems semi-normal but I love the tsundere trope so much it has evolved to the point of a guilty pleasure.

Chewy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I guess the one I ended up liking might be the world resetting or the main character doing different routes for a purpose as opposed to the in another parallel universe thing. Especially when it changes after a few resets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrael Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I guess the obvious thing here would be the way the protagonist goes all 'white knight' on the heroines and ends up solving all of their problems in typical harem fashion Who needs strong women anyways?

TexasDice Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I will go with spriteless teachers. All they ever do, is skipping some ingame-hours (so we don't have to really attend class) and to maneuver us through those "can you read that to the class?"-scenes, in which either something awkward happens or an important thing is revealed for later.

Eclipsed Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Clean-slate settings (ie. protagonist moving to a new/foreign place, or returning to a hometown after 10 years) All virgin heroines Childhood friend + senpai + kouhai (ie. all 3 types are present) Mastermind villains (bonus points if female) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funyarinpa Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like the endings where the villain gets rekted. Besides that, I usually like things mostly getting spelled out for me at the end of a mystery/sci-fi/time travel VN as I'm usually too dumb to figure stuff out by myself (or maybe it is because I'm young, who knows?) I'd still like to have a few mysteries to solve for myself though, even though I won't ever reread routes to figure stuff out and the like- I should improve on that.

Helvetica Standard Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like the lovey dovey, corny, sticky, super pink events that MC has with the heroines further down their routes. It's absolute bliss and makes me remember my own personal experiences. Not to mention it makes the inevitable melodrama that comes after that much more bearable.

Zalor Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I know this thread is aimed more about tropes in VNs, but my real guilty pleasure isn't a trope; it's School Days. Stop laughing, I'm not kidding. School Days is a Freudian dream that satisfies both my libidinal drive and my death drive. Through Makoto I can express my uncensored sexual freedom and then get brutally killed in the end for it. School Days understands me on a completely base and instinctual level. I know VNs are not dating sims, but people lump them together anyway and I reached the former through the latter, so I'll just go ahead and admit I still love the most mechanical of the dating sims, silly as they might be. Huniepop will probably be my guiltiest pleasure this year for several reasons, one of them being that I fucking pre-ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolverk Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like waay to many overused tropes as the years have passed. Tsun, yan, dere, -deres etc. Chuuni protag, yeah.. etc A specific guilty pleasure of mine I suppose is harems. I do really like them, even if they don't really make sense. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miulei Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No matter how much they've been overused and how predictable they tend to be, my weakness is always the tsundere love interests. I always end up loving them. Understand and respect why some people are sick of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawasumi Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Eroge scenes in general. It feels like a reward and it just feels so satifying when the protagonist and the person you chase finally make love as a cheesy end scene (im a pervert ;_ Also the classic "oh this girl is so mysterious and had a horrible past that she needs to deal with before we can be together" kind of thing gets me every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clephas Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I like 'ancient lolis', lolis who have been alive for hundreds of years, regardless of heroine status or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Silly melodrama, forced drama (does that even mean anything at this point?). I kinda liked school days for this reason, also kinda loved Sekai because of her weakness and self-sacrificing behaviour... Nakige-ish stuff is getting a bit old though, so there's that. Not as guiltily, the forgotten osananajimi. Gets me every time so far, I just love it. Maybe it's b/c I have a girl childhood soulmate-level friend from long ago that I faded away from in the last years of elementary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0X0R Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I actually enjoy bad writing in VNs. I just find them hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeromass Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 when there is a twist in the vn that was present since the beginning. and after the big reveal you watch the flashback containing some of the hints to it and think to yourself "how the f%$% did i miss that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyaes Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I actually enjoy bad writing in VNs. I just find them hilarious Do you mean just bad grammar or actual bad writing? I do find bad grammar or just the complete misuse of a word entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Do you mean just bad grammar or actual bad writing? I do find bad grammar or just the complete misuse of a word entertaining. I would assume that it's bad grammar, since I don't know how you could tolerate bad writing. Though I tend to see things to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
