    Fabulous on Fuwa - February!

    By Kaguya

    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.   *holds up giant APPLAUSE sign*   A-hem, so this is the f

The Mountain

better viewed at https://disearnestlydisearnest.wordpress.com/2025/03/13/the-mountain/ Step into my homeheart at a dark hour. The curtains are drawn on imperfect midnight, all too long this season, yet never complete in its reign. Slide half the curtain open, behold a familiar nightscape, not the ink of primordial darkness. Feel the rush of cold air as the chill by the window escapes confinement; this apartment has never been the same since they changed the thermostats. The new tempera

On Green Tulip Street Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and because we have Hentai Prison released I decided to make a parody of Jojo Part 6 setting namesake, On Green Dolphin Street, by changing 'Dolphin' into 'Tulip' from Hentai Prison's setting, Tulip Prison, so we have 'On Green Tulip Street' as the title. There's also another reason on why I made Jojo Part 6 reference, namely it's because both Jojo Part 6 and Hentai Prison settings are harsh prison with the MCs do their best for their survival in there. As for t

Rewrite+ - 7.5/10

Rewrite+ is both a great visual novel to read as well as incredibly frustrating. It features a few really good routes, a decently good true route, and some genuinely funny moments throughout. It also unfortunately features some incredible inconsistencies between routes both in genre and quality of writing, some humor that didn't land for me, as well as some choices that to me scream the writers didn't agree with one another or communicate well, and I'm unsure which. I'm just going to summar

Valkyrie Chaos Re-Boot Review

Because we have Ixseal released with the MC being the reincarnation of the demon lord, I decided to make a parody of Tenshi Re-Boot with I changed 'Angelic' from its English title, Angelic Chaos Re-Boot, into 'Valkyrie' from Ixseal full title, Beat Valkyrie Ixseal, so we have 'Valkyrie Chaos Re-Boot' as the title even though the MC of Ixseal didn't suffer erectile dysfunction like Riku (Well, obviously Ixeal's MC suffer ED would make the game very different). As for this week, it's quite obvious

Tsui no Sora (1999) Endings (NSFW, Spoilers)

Ayana’s Ending After the events took place back in July 19th where Takugi’s cult committed mass suicide, Yukito is seen in front of his school. Today is the 21st of July which is also the second day of summer break in Japan. The day that the world should’ve ended has already passed and Yukito being in front of his school right now doesn’t see anything unusual. However, he doesn’t exactly recall why he came to his school during the summer break. Yukito then meets up with Ayana at the

[KeroQ] Tsui no Sora (1999) Visual Novel Review (NSFW)

https://vndb.org/v3246 Main Menu Tsui no Sora is an eroge visual novel developed by KeroQ and released back in August 27, 1999, before getting its OVA hentai adaptation three years later which wasn’t well received. The story is about a bunch of highschool students who are concerned about a rumor that the world will end at the beginning of summer break which is July 20th. Eventually, more people started to believe this, losing their minds as July 20th was coming closer. They get c

Save Systems – An Anatomy of Visual Novels

This is a condensed version of the full article which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   Recording Your Progress   Almost every game has some form of system by which the player can save their progress since a developer cannot expect them to complete the title in one sitting. How this manifests varies wildly from the freedom to save as many times as the player wants to a single save slot only available at designated intervals to an autosave system out of the player’s hands.

VN of the Month February 2025

Jewelry Nights Arcadia -The ends of the world- is the only title this month that at least tries to provide some story.   1. Boku to Kanojo-tachi no Jisshuu Nisshi ボクと彼女たちの実習日誌  [ENTERGRAM & iMel Inc.]  How long has it been since I started my residency at Amagi University Hospital? After completing three months of training in the orthopedics department, where I was first assigned, I spe

Liminal Nine 3rd Episode: Meryl Hathaway Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. Since we have Criminal Border Part 3 release, once again I made a parody of Nine series by adding 'Liminal' in front of it (Liminal is from Criminal Border Steam version title, Liminal Border) because both series have same writer and director, and for the subtitle obviously I used the main girl of Criminal Border Part 3, Meryl Hathaway, so we have 'Liminal Nine 3rd Episode: Meryl Hathaway' as the title. As for this week, we have Sekai manage to release Harukuru

Apocalypse – Genre Deep Dive

This is a condensed version of the full article which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   Until There Is Nothing Left   As a species we have a strange obsession with the inevitable demise of everything we have built in the face of sudden and uncontrollable disasters. There is a kind of catharsis at seeing this scenario play out in a fictional setting and witnessing how the characters attempt to adapt to the end of the world as they know it. This genre of Apocalypse stories c

Spring Lights Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for the title because we have Harumade Kururu release delayed along with Visual Arts announced Air exact release date, I decided to make a reference one of Air's OST, Summer Lights, by changing 'Summer' into 'Spring' (Because Harukuru is represent spring), so we have 'Spring Lights' as the title. Anyway, for this week obviously the notable news are both Harukuru delay and Air English version announcement, although we also have Shiravune released Primal Heart

Little Busters! - 7.8/10

Little Busters is good. Pretty darn good in fact. Its highs are pretty high, it's funny, it's got some emotional moments, the music is great, but it's also somewhat let down by some uneven routes and a true route I personally found a bit frustrating. The comraderie shown between the characters is pretty great, and that's something you don't see in the majority of visual novels. It truly feels like a gang of friends here rather than just people thrown together randomly. The characters feel l

The Maiden on Paper Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for the title because we have Putrika localization announcement along with Tsukiyori new fan translation project, I decided to make a reference of Putrika's developer first VN, Kami no Ue no Mahoutsukai, by changing 'Witch' into 'Maiden' with the latter is from Tsukiyori full title, Tsuki ni Yorisou Otome no Sahou, so we have 'The Maiden on Paper' as the title. For elaboration, the literal translation of Kami no Ue no Mahoutsukai is 'The Sorcerer on Paper' a

Sex Rockets - 8/10

I enjoyed Sex Rockets (Byakko / Farther than the Blue Sky) quite a bit. The main characters are all interesting in their own ways, some more than others though. Through its routes it manages to tell a scientific story where the science and progression is somewhat believable on the R&D front, although obviously truncated and simplified so that it would be palatable to a larger audience. It definitely does some things differently - namely the H-scenes and its true route - but I personally enjo

Dating Sims – Uncovering The VN Hybrid

This is a condensed version of the full article which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   Making Yourself Desirable   Many outside the visual novel space often make the mistake of referring to romance visual novels as Dating Sims and at a glance it is easy to see why given their shared focus on pursuing a chosen heroine or hero. The two types of game have had a long and connected history with Dating Sims utilising visual novel elements to sell their story sections and buildi

Emma Brilliant Park Review

For the title of this week VNTS Review, because we have Gensou Manege release with its premise remind me of Amagi Brilliant Park anime, I decided to make a parody of it by replacing 'Amagi' with 'Emma' (Gensou Manege MC), so we have 'Emma Brilliant Park'. For this week, well obviously it's not like the last week despite it still has numerous updates and releases, with the most notable one being Gensou Manege release along with some exact release date announcements from Shiravune. Another release

Angel in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. For the title, since we have both Kara no Shoujo 3 (English name is The Shell 3) and Tenshi Re-Boot released, I decided to make a parody of very well known anime, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, by changed 'Ghost' into 'Angel' (TL Note: Tenshi mean angel), so we have 'Angel in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex' as the title. As for this week, this should goes without saying that this is the biggest one in 2025 so far with several releases, with the most no

My Deity Academia Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. For the title, because we have Tayutama announced with its full title is 'Tayutama -Kiss on My Deity-' along with Sacrifice Villain finally released, I decided to make Boku no Hero Academia English title parody (My Hero Academia) because Sacrifice Villain setting is very clearly Boku no Hero Academia setting, so we have 'My Deity Academia' as the title. As for this week, the most obvious things here would be it was less plain compared to the last two weeks. To e

Death End Request 2 Review – Glitching Our Way Into True Fear

This is a condensed version of the full review which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   Genre – JRPG, Horror, Mystery     Play Time – 16 hours     Developer – Compile Heart/Idea Factory    Steam     VNDB   Hack The World   There are two ways to make a squeal, either you stick close to what was established in the first game and provide more of the same or you take the basic ideas of that original title and reinvent them in a new form.
