sirjabberwock Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I came looking for some kind of up-date to Majikoi, go figure. I joined because Kosaki had an avatar from Dracu-riot and I wasn't sure what VN it was from at the time. It was adorbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I found Fuwa while looking for Clannad/Kanon/Air back in like 2012-2013. Was disappointed that Air didn't have a TL patch at the time but i had my fun with Clannad and Kanon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkasmus Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 After playing Katawa Shoujo which I knew from the Facebook group of Kissanime, I searched for other VNs and after noticing that I can't get any of the interesting ones in germany I searched for Fantranslations and found Fuwanovel via Google.

Yeah Way Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was looking for translations of 'Hoshizora no Memoria: Eternal Heart', when I came across Aaeru's blog thing. This led to me contacting Steve about the project, who led me to this wonderful place. ^^ Thank you, Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterz Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Was looking for information about VNs, found the old Fuwanovel blog and used it for a while. Only found the forums several months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenzo Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I think that I became interested in VNs after after playing a demo of one that someone was making on GameJolt (Indie Game site, Jade for those who are interested), After which I looked up what a VN was and asked which one would be the best for a person starting out. Which in turn lead me to find Katawa Shoujo on Fuwanovel and I have been hooked ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jptje Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I found out about a certain game called Phoenix Wright through osu!. After playing it (and absolutely loving it), I randomly looked up some info on it, and it was sometimes called a 'visual novel'. One quick google search later, I found vndb and fuwanovel, and started playing more VNs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvictusCobra Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think I found Fuwanovel shortly after beginning to read Novels entirely, but the first thing I downloaded from the website (IIRC, don't quite remember which one it was exactly) was Rewrite, back when Amaterasu had just released their Common Route patch. As to how, I believe it was a friend of mine who told me about it, due to it's selection of translated Novels and torrents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirjabberwock Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The fuk are you talking about? I never had a Dracu-Riot avatar. It looked just like Yarai Miu from Dracu-riot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalor Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Anyway, I already knew of Fuwanovel back in the old days, when Aaeru was still spearheading the site. Didn't want to download stuff here though. I'm wary of prepatched things. I also know Fuwanovel because it was always being bashed in 4chan lol. Anyway, already knew of the forums, but I never joined because I was too lazy to make an account. Until the faithful day that KonoSora wouldn't work. I made an account so that I could ask other people for help. Too bad though, I never fixed it. At least I found a lot of friends. I was also interested in Steve. Too bad he was already dead by then.

Zakamutt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I found out through someone on vndb dissing Fuwanovel, I think... was intrigued by Aaeru's ideals and all once I read the about section as well. I've been on a decent lot of forums so I jumped in here with little trepidation. Yes, vndb. I'd actually getten used to installing and patching VNs on my own, so I started using fuwa releases myself partly because I could help others fix theirs later lol (also, troubleshooting on my own was strangely satisfying as a challenge.) Also, lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonicbagel Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I thought it'd be cool to talk to people about VNs and I also thought I might actually be able to find a team to work on a VN with. I even finished a very very basic demo, so hopefully I'll get a positive reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodai Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Had a friend who really liked Clannad's anime, decided to go looking for the VN for him. I was interested in VNs but hadn't gotten much aside from Katawa Shoujo myself. Found this place, linked it to him, then started grabbing some myself. Made an account when I needed help fixing Rewrite so it would work. I've been on-and-off active since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahu157 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I stumbled upon the now defunct CraneAnime.com and saw they had uploaded Mashiro Iro Symphony onto their forum, erojiji.net. For some reason I was enamored with the idea of the game (and still am), so I downloaded them game from there, but of course, it had no translation patch. So I went looking for one and I got the Fuwanovel project page for Mashiro Iro. Either that or I was looking for information about Fate/Stay Night, but I'm pretty sure it was the quest for a Mashiro Iro translation.

atorq Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Once upon a time when I had recently played Katawa Shoujo some idiot on reddit said that something called Grisaia no Kajitsu was similar. I used everyones favorite search engine ask.com and found some disgusting site called Fuwanovel which had a lovely torrent for said thing. Then after being somewhat disappointed with the thing called Grisaia no Kajitsu I went on with my searching and stumbled upon this site many times and one cold winter afternoon when my mind was weak I created this account and here I am.

Kosakyun Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It looked just like Yarai Miu from Dracu-riot! You make me hope for Dracu-Riot's translation again. You found out about us through the hate 4chan was spreading about Aaeru and this community?! Wow, I thought that would have turned you completely away from this site. I never could understand why 4chan hated us so much. But Aaeru is definitely among the most important people that existed in the western VN community, and despite her quirks, my respect for her is quite high. Regarding Steve, I remember when this thread was still trending: Best of Steve's loli collection. It was a bit weird for me when the thread died. I never really looked at that thread, but it was a constant reminder of Steve's presence back than. And now he is largely inactive... I already knew of Fuwanovel even before I visited 4chan. I liked what Aaeru was doing. I can't find a reason to hate her. 4chan's just stupid sometimes. Sure, some of the prepatched visual novels won't work on some computers because of file properties that I have no idea of, or some compatibility crap, but I see nothing wrong with what the girl wants to do. They be hating on it even though they're not usually doing anything that'll contribute to the overall growth of the community, and yes, to the improvement of the western visual novel scene. I have respect for Aaeru, even though we didn't really communicate with one another. She had her own way of doing things, and I thought that was fine. Dunno why she died out. Maybe because of the C&Ds and stuff. But she was an important contributor to the westernization of visual novels, imo. Or at least the spread of visual novels in the west. There's no reason to hate something you haven't experience for yourself, imo. Though my biggest complaint was the Sengoku Rance torrent of Fuwanovel not allowing players to have NG+ in some computers. And I mentioned Steve because I was very much disheartened by the discontinuation of Irotoridori no Sekai. He mentioned something about a possibility of starting it again, but that it was too much work. Unless they could get the files or something. Also, his love for lolis.

kamiwakai Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I never had anyone to talk about visual novels after moving, so I was looking for a place where people were passionate about VNs and had fun discussing about them. I was quite impressed not only about the number of people actually reading them in the west (be it in English or Japanese), but also about the number of VNs that they are reading (some lists are quite long, I was astonished). Im also happy there are many Key fans over here who voraciously read (almost) all of its VNs and have life-changing experiences with them. My master (who introduced VNs and taught how to read them in a smart way) "graduated" from VNs (he played nearly everything since 2000s to now), and is almost graduating from light novels too, so we dont talk that much anymore LOL. But yeah, folks here are nice and hope to have a good time discussing VNs in Fuwanovels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0X0R Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I heard about Fuwanovel from a podcast. Unfortunately the podcast has been discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
