Introduction
Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.

He tries to move his legs to get away from the three approaching him.
However, he can't move.
His body won't move an inch. It is as if he's being tied down by an invisible something.
(What is this!? What is this!? This is... what is it...? It's as if I'm being enveloped in something...)
At that moment, something was refl

As for this week title, since we've about to have Gore Screaming Show (GSS) release in a week along with a big update in regard of Lupercalia, I'd change the word 'Gore' with 'Hyouko' so we have 'Hyouko Screaming Show'. The reason is because in Lupercalia we have a theater actress Hyouko recite her lines, and she recite it by screaming so yeah it's literally the screaming show (The video of Hyouko recite her lines). Welcome to this week VNTS Revi
『••••• RECAP •••••』
In the blink of an eye, spooky month is over... 👻 Last month was more of an art month for me. Hopefully I will be getting back to getting more review and article writing done this month.
Anyway, in my first blog post here, I said I was going to focus on only visual novel content for this newsletter-like blog. I then realized the blogs on Fuwanovel forums can be used for pretty much anything! So I am going to do just that; I won't be just sharing my reviews and artic
Visual Novel Translation Status (30/10/2022)
Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and if I may conclude this week I can definitely say that it's an interesting one because of Nekonyan's announcements, although I can't exactly say that it's an exciting one because some of the announcements are smaller compared to their previous announcements. That said though besides Nekonyan's announcements (That I still look forward into), we also have several releases with the most notable one is Alpha Night

Watanabe Ryouichi is the idiosyncratic writer of several well-known visual novels like the -kuru series, parts of Aokana, and many others, but did you know that he also has a fanbox where he just writes random stuff? I was strangely inspired by this umbrella story when I read it this morning, so here’s a translation. Let us hope I managed to capture at least some of his style. Or at least supplanted it with another fun style. Either wo

In The Beginning
If there is one structural element which is used by most visual novels it is the Common Route. This linear opening section contains the choices which decide the route you will be sent on as well as providing world and character building setup so that the routes can focus on their specific hero/heroine. They are so ubiquitous with visual novels that even those who are

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for this week, compared to the last week to be honest this week is kind of plain even though it has two releases, because both releases are short nukige in which obviously it's not my interest. Of course though there's still several updates happening, such as usual fast H2O progress and several new release estimation from Aksys announcements. Speaking of the announcements, Nekonyan will hold panel together wit

Because we have Ginharu update even though it's smaller one compared to what we have previously, once again I decided to use 'Silver Colored Faraway' as the title with 'Track 7' mean that it's the seventh time I use the title. Obviously once again I did make a reference to one of Kanon 2006 episode, in which said episode is episode 12 (A Strange-Looking Waltz) and I'll explain more of it on PS later. Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review and to

Secrets Of The Dead
My relationship with Yuzusoft’s work has been a mixed one. The quality of the artwork and the likeable characters draw me to their games, but I often find myself burned out on them due their often unnecessary length and inability to handle their core premises with any depth or consideration. Despite these feelings, I continue to come back to their games so I can only assu
Again no masterpieces. As of decent ones, I'd say that Taiho Shichau zo is the one I enjoyed the most even though it's just franchise setup with 4 episode OVA .

This series is the latest gem I came across. It isn't the only one I came across, but I've decided to only present ones that have gone over 200 chapters without getting boring, which is a very small proportion of the web novel population, lol.
In this series, Earth's greatest bare-handed fighter, a master of qi and warfare unmatched on our planet, walks through a tunnel to an alternate version of Earth where ma

Visual Novel Translation Status (09/10/2022)
Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have H2O new translation project announced along with Chaos Head Noah released, I'd make a parody of H2O full title 'Footprint in the Sand' (Also the other name of the Footprints poem) by changing 'Sand' into 'Delusion', so we have 'Footprints in the Delusion' for the title (For the info, delusion here is the main theme of Chaos Head and obviously it's still apply in Noah). For this week while I can
Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no, is on a shortlist of kamige that I tend to recommend to newbies to VNs or those who missed it during their first rapid obsessive blasting through the 'classics'. For some reason, people are making excuses not to play the newly-fantranslated game. I'm going to first pick apart the reasons that have been given for not playing it, even if it falls into the realm of their tastes.
Number one reason, the one that is hardest to speak against, is that the game itself

Sakura, Reincarnation
I remembered a certain thing
A flower petal fluttering down
From my tiny hands
At the same place
Where we first met
How long ago you’ve forgotten
Don’t hide your excitement
Show me everything
Your smile is mine!
On the night of sakura petals fluttering
Let’s dream once again
Cast off reality and turn into a flower
If you listen carefully to the whispers of a far-away wind
See, It’s never-ending
Let’s tread together
