The English patch for Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete is out! Download via either Google drive or Mediafire. There really isn't much else to say beyond what I said in my previous post last week, but I appreciate all the support for not only this project, but also the previous projects, which thankfully have all seen completion, even if this one took longer than I had originally anticipated when I picked it up a year and a half ago. But as a long-time fan of visual novels, it's always nice to give something back to the community. So please enjoy the game released on the luckiest day of the year, Friday the 13th!

Dat Boi Translations Presents Natsu no Ame —Summer Rain— This is the official page for the Natsu no Ame translation project. https://vndb.org/v1898 Introduction Natsu no Ame is a drama visual novel with themes such as: Family, drama, miscommunication, really cute girls. What makes Natsu no Ame special to me is that the way it depicts drama is much more grounded than the average visual novel. It also has Midori. Midori is very cute. This project started on the 10th of June 2025. I'm the only member of the team, but I've gotten some outside help to get the engine and some of the assets working properly. At the current pace, it should take me about 3-5 months to finish. Progress 30% translated as of 6th July 2025 Screenshots

Sorry guys, Im a bit busy this month so no update. But TL is still going smoothly, so next one will be a big one.

MILESTONE! WE ARE AT 20% LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

Sure. I'll read it.

The game is out! Main post edited, read it!

Dungeon crawler vn hybrids were pretty common for a while, with Bunny Black coming to mind as a localized one while Ninetail specialized in the genre, producing the Gears of Dragoon series. As the author mentions, the genre inevitably struggles to tell and sell a story. This is because the gameplay is inevitably grindy (even compared to ancient jrpgs) and repetitive. This is especially the case with games where dungeon layouts are randomized and the plot is primarily enjoyed outside the main gameplay. To an extent, the souls-like games that were made popular by Demon Souls took things in a different direction, actually doubling-down on the gameplay focus while settling most of the story in the form of dungeon-found easter eggs and cryptic statements by the very occasional npcs. On the flip side is the Persona series, which indulges in heavy storytelling while also being a dungeon crawler series (especially 3 onwards). It's parent series, Shin Megami Tensei, is even more focused on dungeon-crawling aspects with the story more minimalized (though V proved the exception). Generally, one needs to keep in mind that dungeon crawlers are an umbrella genre that branched off from traditional rpgs, going in their own direction. The expectation of expansive stories comes in great part from this origin, as many of the people hooked on more modern (post-2000) dungeon crawlers came from jrpg-addict origins and then went evangelistic about them to other gamers after.

It is RealLive. Should be easy

Release Date: 2013-09-20 Original title: ワルキューレロマンツェ More＆More Censored: Yes Game Version: Ver1.0 OS: Windows Language: English (Gemini) VNDB Overview: Fan disc of Walkure Romanze ~Shoujo Kishi Monogatari~ containing after stories for the 4 heroines of the original title, plus full routes for Bertille, Ayako, and Akane. The world’s best knights gather at Winford Academy and it’s gotten quite lively with the jousting tournament nearing. Due to a misunderstanding, Takahiro’s osananajimi Mio was challenged by the proud Bertille to a match at the tournament. Since she hadn’t even rode on a horse before, he ended up guiding her to victory as a begleiter (knight’s assistant). With many watching the wonderful match, his skills as a begleiter were noticed by many students and they took quite an interest in him! However, he was unsure if he wanted to continue on as a begleiter or to return to being a knight. How will he fare in the both the arenas of jousting and love? About translation: This is a personal project to explore the capabilities of current LLMs (Large Language Models) and determine whether someone with no technical expertise, limited Japanese knowledge, and imperfect English fluency could produce a functional Japanese-to-English translation for a visual novel. The result, in my humble opinion, is surprisingly viable! This is not a full-fledged translation project with UI localization, but it covers scenario text, which should suffice for enjoying the game. Team Members: me, Gemini and DeepSeek (LMMs) Current Version Status: Updated: 2025-06-12 Notes While this is version 1.0, I'm still open to feedback for any potential hotfixes. Please report any typos, bugs, or major issues you find here or in the #feedback channel on Discord server. Game-breaking issues were addressed pre-release, but minor oversights may remain. Requirements Use Japanese locale or a locale emulator. Recommended font: SimSun-ExtB. Other fonts may cause line-splitting/text-wrapping issues. Game version 1.0 Installation Place data8.pack into the GameData folder. Launch the game using Japanese locale or a locale emulator.

Heroine selection in the order in which I'd recommend them: Kinkoi Kakenuke Seishun Sparking Fureraba Marshmallow All the way Home Hatsuyuki Sakura (FYI not sure I'd call this a romance game, but it does contain romance) Study Steady Magical Marriage Lunatics Featuring the heroine confessing: IxShe Tell - every single heroine does it. Gin'iro, Haruka - specifically Hinata's route Oshirabu (yuri) A bunch of the Sonohana games (yuri) Technically every NekoPara game I've read Angelic Chaos Reboot - specifically Amane's route IIRC, but with the way this one is set up I think Kaguya did too? Maybe Fumika did too? This VN gets real blurry on it in general since one of the main plot point's is the MC's erectile dysfunction. Hapymaher - Saki Chrono Clock - Michiru - seriously a ton of imouto routes do it. A lot of the single route VN's (I mentioned two yuri options above) feature the heroine confessing first. I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few to be honest, but in a lot of the VN's - including some I mentioned above - it's played off more as a joke than a serious confession a lot of the time. imouto routes feature quite a few "caught masturbating then crazed confession then embarrassment and avoidance" storylines. The only 100% serious one above is Gin'iro, Haruka, and slightly less serious but still real are a bunch of the Sonohana ones, the rest get played off for laughs on some level.

Great Whatever the case - get someone for proofreading and possibly editing. It's very difficult to find errors in your own text - even the obvious ones, the kind which you'd facepalm at after someone points them out

Good for you then.

was able to somehow get it working as someone who can't read Japanese, thanks for all your effort in TL! Here is my steps if it helps anyone who else doesn't speak Japanese : I had find a working copy of Altered Fable (on sukebei nyaa website it was "Altered Fable + Update V1.10" or something to that effect ) Mount the .iso file to E:\ for me Run the setup.exe installer using Locale Emulator (in Japanese): https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases, (In Japanese the 2nd button from the top is "install", it will install to a folder of your preference with folder name called "マブラヴオルタードフェイブル" ) --------------- Not sure if this part is needed but I did it anyway: Downloaded the OG partial patch (I had to use Google search for "MLAF_Partial_Patch_3.1_Full.zip" it led me to some erogegames forum website to get a working link since vndb website link was broken) Followed OG Patch instructions (to copy some patched files to "my documents" folder, the root game's folder and the plugins folder) ------------------------------- Followed instructions on THIS forum page to install the Win 10 patch and THIS patch (to copy some patched files to the root game's folder and the plugins folder) Run the game "マブラヴオルタードフェイブル.exe" using Locale Emulator Once ingame, the first menu button ingame is for Altered Fable. In Altered Fable game menu, first menu button is "Start", 2nd menu button is "Load" Also found a 100% game save file that works: file is here https://sagaoz.net/savedata/ma/31ma.htm , do a ctrl+f and look for "マブラヴ ALTERED FABLE 動作確認" the download link is on right hand side, put the gdb.uuc file in the Documents\age\マブラヴオルタードフェイブル\Vmreg folder Looking forward to reading your TL!

Finished retranslating the prologue!

Welcome to this week, and as for the title I'll explain it in PS. For this week, let's just say that we have Shiravune being very active for an easy word with them had a number of announcements. Other than Shiravune, Nekonyan also has some news to share, although unfortunately it's not in regard of their releases yet. Lastly, we obviously still have some updates from fan translation. Overall, let's just say that this week is an almost below average one and let's see what I can write in regard of it. This week we have Tsuma Netori is at a quarter edited, 225 lines of Fate/Extra CCC main script has been edited, ChuSingura is at 25.9% translated, Tsukihime Remake Ciel's Route Day 13 has been finalized along with Day 14 of it has been fully edited, and Akagoei FD is at 48.28% edited. I know there's also Koiyasumi release as well, although I'll save the talk for next VNTS Review. We also have Rewrite Harvest Festa partial patch release that Amaterasu did work on (For the info initially it's Amaterasu 9th project before they're disappear), and the patch did contain full translation for all of the routes along with translate the beginning part of Rewrite Quest (The RPG minigame in Harvest Festa). In case you've been waiting for this ever since Sekai announce it (With them currently struggling with the editing work) and just want to read the story, then feel free to try the patch. While we know that Sol Press has financial problem when it come to the tax, turned out that the problem is far worse than we thought, especially with them didn't manage to pay the royalty for Tinkle Position (ie Onikiss developer). Since Sol Press has been suspended from doing business, naturally Onikiss license has been indirectly stopped and thus there's no way to get the royalty. With that circumstance, Nekonyan decided to help them by took over the license for Onikiss, and they planned to re-release it in the near future. Well, initially they want to release it in last Friday, although there are some unavoidable circumstances so they need to delay it for a while. Honestly speaking while Kara no Shoujo trilogy announcement from Shiravune is good news, I can't help but think that the announcement for the first two title is redundant, especially with almost no change in the second part. Granted arguably the first part has a number of improvement compared to what Mangagamer released in 2011, but even then there's a patch that add Mangagamer's translation into newer version of the first part (And also the second part), and thus the first two parts are redundant even with the new version and translation (Lemnisca is responsible for the retranslation work) on top made it available on Steam. If anything else, at least it mean that they have the license for the long awaited third part, so you can just wait for it to be released. Speaking of release, Shiravune already have the exact release date for the first part, and it'll be on July 28th later. They'll also release Nukitashi on 23rd and Dungeon Travelers 2 duology on Friday later. Other than Kara no Shoujo trilogy, they also have White Album, as if the first White Album that has no relation with WA2 (If I remember right, WA2 only has mention the first WA heroines in the beginning), and for the info they'll release PS3 backport version which as we know has no sex scenes. For the premise, it's about our MC Touya who's been in relationship with the upstart idol Morikawa Yuki, although thanks to her popularity their relationship has been pulled apart, so Touya need to be either tried his best to maintain their relationship or perhaps find someone else. It should be mentioned that while it eventually spawn the well received WA2 and it also has love triangle story, it won't be as dramatic as WA2. There's still no plan on when Shiravune release WA, although looking at the Steam store it'll be on Q3 of this year (ie between July to September). I also know that WA has fan translation project, so I'll just wait and see for both. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - Since we have Kara no Shoujo trilogy announcements with the direct translation of it is 'Girl in the Shell' (By the way Shiravune localize the title as 'The Shell' which to say is very generic) and White Album announcement, I make the parody of Kara no Shoujo translated title with I change 'Girl' into 'Star' (Because WA has idol and the most well known idol anime is Oshi no Ko with the title can be translated as 'My Star'), so we have 'Star in the Shell' as the title.

Hello!! I'm looking to play any kind of VN with a genuinely evil MC. I mean evil like Saya no Uta, not something like Rance or Euphoria which is just rape. Sadly I haven't played many VNs to give more examples for what I like, but I'd like a story with the main character doing evil things that aren't just sexual crimes, I'd like something unsettling or horrific in ways beyond just explicit content. If you know of any VNs like this I'd love to hear your recommendations!!

That's difficult. I do know a lot with characters/heroines that are evil, but evil MC? Hmm. You could try Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (with the improvement patches), but it is not structured like other vns with heroines and routes. And even then it is not evil per se, but when things happen there is a reason in-game for the violence. You could also take a look into Swan Song - it does have r*p*, but there is reason for people being the worst in the game, so it doesn't happen simply for fetish like in the ones you mentioned. In Meteor World Actor, the MC is a bad cop, being a douche most of the time to everybody, albeit still being "good".

Because we have Nightmare x Onmyouji released by Mangagamer and that in Sengoku Rance we have Onmyouji class, I'd change the word 'Onmyouji' into the fan translation of Sengoku Rance for that class (Diviner), so we have 'Nightmare x Diviner' as the title for this week VNTS Review. For this week, compared to the last one it's kind of plain. That said, there still some interesting updates such as Mangagamer bunch of updates and Yuzusoft released trial for Tenshi Re-Boot along with it's 4-koma video (I'll explain why it's worth to mention later). Overall I can say that this week is an average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Shiravune had yet another surprise announcement, although unfortunately it's not Tamayura Mirai or Sacrifice Villain exact release date, but instead it's just Kuroinu Redux in which from what I see it's the improved version of Kuroinu that Mangagamer released in the past. Said improvement is done by adding some new contents such as new sex scenes and music mode, so you may pick this if you feel the lack of music mode in Kuroinu bother you. That said, since the improvement is small compared to Utawarerumono 1 remake and that I didn't pick Kuroinu, I'll just say that the release is redundant. If you want to get it later, you may note the release date on May 19th later. Speaking of release, Fakku released My Life as a Cult Leader nukige, with the premise that the MC was randomly picked as the stand-in for sex cult leader, and obviously the MC will enjoy a lot of passionate sex with the cult members which mostly have big breast. Speaking of cult, Nightmare x Onmyoji is also revolving around the cult who willing to rape any girl that meddle with their demon summoning business, and this time the unlucky girls who about to suffer that fate are Yuka (Again) along with Setsuna (The previous Nightmare series MC) who've been kidnapped by the cult with their new companion Kuon (The titular onmyouji) did her best to rescue those two, although obviously Kuon will also suffer a lot of rapes just like Setsuna. If anything else, the graphic is still good so go get the VN if you're interested with it and have fun. For the rest of Mangagamer's updates, we have Eve of December is at 90% translated, Funbag Fantasy 4 is at 41.5% along with 38% edited, Rance 03 is at 39% translated along with 14% edited, and Rance X is at halfway translated along with 4.5% edited (Note that the edited progress is regressed from 5%, and the reason is because the finding of bunch new lines). We also have Luckydog update after long time not seeing on it ever since it was announced, and said update is that the translation for it is almost nearly completed. We also have Raillore is still in scripting with additional note that it's almost ready for the testing (So it might be Mangagamer's next release after Lkyt), and last but not the least we finally have Sona-Nyl entering the scripting. Oh yes we have Mangagamer add their secret project, and currently it's been fully translated and edited. In fan translation section, we have Akagoei FD is at 28.74% edited along with 12.64% in QA, Manakashi is roughly at 66% translated, H2O is at 31.4% edited, Majikoi A-5 is approximately 85% done, Senmomo is at 93.69% edited with side stories is past three quarter (77.92%) edited, and Planetarian Snow Globe is currently in testing and editing work. We also have another nukige from Black Lilith translated, and said nukige is Tsuma Netori with the premise married heroine who is PE teacher in the high school experienced a lot of sexual assaults at school. For the progress, currently it's been at 10% translated. Lastly there's ChuSingura in which currently it's at 20.99% translated with the first chapter was fully translated (For the reminder ChuSingura has five chapters), and that the translator will do some editing works for the next 2 or 3 weeks later before releasing the patch that cover 20.99% of whole ChuSingura. Yuzusoft did release the trial for their newest VN Tenshi Re-Boot, so you can read the trial if you can read Japanese. Yuzusoft also released 4-koma video for both of main and side heroines, and if you follow their Youtube then you know that the video has English caption with Nekonyan provided it. What I want to say is that it's indicate that Nekonyan will localize Tenshi Re-Boot in the future, so the question is when we can see the announcement in regard of it. There are some more clue that Tenshi Re-Boot will be available in English, but the fact that 4-koma video has English caption is enough proof seeing that Cafe Stella 4-koma video also has English caption. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Because we have both of Lorena and the Land of Ruins (Controversial) update along with Shiravune announced Dungeon Travelers 2 PC version, I decided to change the word 'Dungeon' with 'Ruin' so we have 'Ruin Travelers 2' as the title (I know that the title is quite plain). Also yes, I know both are not VN, but may as well write about those two in here. Anyway, to be honest I'm about to call this week as a plain one, but thanks to both Shiravune and Nekonyan suddenly give the announcements, I manage to find this week become interesting, although it only apply to the announcements though. That said if you want interesting release, then there's Tsui no Stella leak. Overall, this week is an almost interesting one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Nekonyan announced that there won't be sex scenes in Lorena, and the reasons is because the developer decided to do away with 18+ game and go all age. What I can say is that it definitely resemble several companies who goes all age (ie Laplacian, Pulltop, Harukaze), but unlike those companies in which they decided to remove all of the written sex scenes, Lorena only has MP4 sex scenes video with the sex scenes are only encountered when Lorena lost. While obviously removed content is always sensitive matter, in the end I didn't care much of it when it come to Lorena. Anyway to dilute the censorship controversy here, I should also mention that Nekonyan manage to get Steam store page for Klutzy Cupid was opened (Link to the store page), and they said that it's the fastest wait because they only need for two days to be approved. For the comparison, it could took weeks for games to be approved, so good for them. Shiravune announced the Dungeon Travelers 2 for PC version, and for the bonus they also announced 2-2 as well. For the premise, it's about the MC Fred who is an adventurers that was dispatched into combating the monster uprising, and for some reasons the monsters are cute girls. Well, Aquaplus is used to be develop several VNs, so it's normal to be like that, especially with the first Dungeon Travelers is a what-if for To Hearts 2 casts when they're in RPG setting. For 2-2, apparently it's more or less the same, expect that it took time after the MC failed to do the quest and lost the battle. It also has controversy, namely that Steam rejected the game. Oh yes, it also has PSV version that was released by Atlus, although it's been censored for the obvious reasons and they didn't localize 2-2. We have another route for Obedient Women released, and with that it bring nine routes of it all translated. By the way the newest route is about Nagasaki Kotomi, who from what I see is more or less about a married landowner daughter who didn't happy with her arranged marriage had sex with another man, and obviously it lead the wife to have affair. Sugar Sweet Temptation release was delayed to 26th, so obviously we didn't have April release anymore. Speaking of release date, there are four otome VNs release announcements with three of those are from Aksys. For the detail, we'll going to have Charade Maniacs released on June 27th, Jack Jeanne on June 15th, Radiant Tale on July 27th, and Norn9 fandisc on August 24th. Feel free to note the date if you've been waiting for those four otome VNs releases. From fan translation, we have Shin Koihime Musou is at 65% edited, Yosuga no Sora is at 71% TLC-ed along with 55% edited, Haruka na Sora is at 70% translated and TLC-ed along with 26% edited, Koiyasumi is at 45.91% edited, H2O is at 46.8% edited, Tsuma Netori is at 35% edited, and ChuSingura is at 21.34% translated. Once again if you want interesting release, then there's Tsui no Stella full translation patch leak (Because it was released without permission from the rest of the group), although said patch was pulled out quickly because the editing of it is still not completed with the progress is currently at 20% edited. That said if you can't wait for the official release of Tsui no Stella, then feel free to try the patch. Almost forgot to mention that we have Aojashin restoration patch progress, and the newest patch has 13 out of 17 sex scenes translated. Other than Dungeon Traveler 2, Shiravune had yet another surprise announcement. Said announcement is Nukitashi, in which if we know is one of VN that Sol Press failed to release. The premise of it is still the same with our MC (Junnosuke) who chose to protect his virginity for his true love thrown into the island where have sex is a necessity, and he decided to organize the rebellion because he didn't like the rules. Also it's use the translation that Ittaku has been working on back when Sol Press still being active to translating VNs, so currently it's been fully translated and edited with the last progress is in QA work. Obviously it mean that it's almost ready for the release, and it'll be available in this year on both Steam (With the contents are apparently only 2 hours for the obvious reason) and Johren. Last but not the least, Nekonyan announce an unexpected title, although it should be mentioned that it's very unexpected only to anyone else who never following VNs news in the first place. Yes, that title is Tenshi Re-Boot, and Nekonyan basically already indirectly confirmed that they'll localized the newest Yuzusoft VN through several tweets (They mentioned that they translated the 4-koma video and the info of it on VNDB are pulled from their tweets). That said, it's still surprising that they announced it as soon as Japanese version was released back on April 28th. For the premise, it's about our MC Riku who got visited by the angel Noa (One of the heroine), and then Noa reveal that Riku is actually the reincarnation of the Demon King with Noa was tasked to protect Riku. We already have some progress on this, and right now it's been at 10% translated. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review and sorry for being very late here. For this week, since we have Uchi no Koibito sudden release with the premise resemble horror movie Knock Knock (The man was live together with two girls, although in Knock Knock the girls raped the man and then ruined his life) and Tamayura Mirai release from the last week with mod Clephas mentioned that it resemble Monobeno, I'd make a parody of Monobeno updated version, Monobeno -Happy End-, by changing 'Monobeno' into 'Knock Knock', so we have 'Knock Knock -Happy End-' as the title. As for this week, we have a bunch of announcements and releases, although unfortunately none of those are quite interesting to me. If anything else, at least Mangagamer announcements have good graphic, and so to me this week is more or less an average one. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week here. There's a new fan translation group (Shinzou Translations) that translate several short VNs, with two of those are Fukyou no Hana and Hikage no Himari. I can only say that good for the group if they manage to working on their favorite VNs, even with the VNs are the short one. We also have Dei Gratia full translation patch release, and yes by Dei Gratia I mean the VN that Lemnisca was decided to scrapped the localization plan after their KS with the base goal 57,000 dollars failed (The link to the patch). The premise is still in regard of several people who were trapped inside a closed room like in Ever17 (Which make sense considering Dei Gratia here is some sort of Ever17 tribute), and said closed room is in the sinking submarine 700 meters below the surface with the unknown threat at the depth of the ocean. Go get the translation patch if you want to play this ever since Lemnica announced the KS plan for this, and have fun. For this week fan translation updates, we have ChuSingura is at 24.72% translated with the translated lines passed 20,000 lines mark, Tsuma Netori is at 20% edited, H2O is at 60.2% edited, Senmomo is at 98.42% edited with side stories is at 94.47% edited, and Akagoei FD is at 40.23% edited along with 24.14% QA-ed. That's all for this week fan translation updates. While this is not VN news, may as well mention that Nekonyan will release Lorena on 26th later. Speaking of release, we have both Aksys and Cherry Kiss released Koinegau and Oppai Samurai respectively. Koinegau here is about a female MC who live in Edo era can see the black thread that will be followed by a disaster and thus be shunned by the villagers, which of course eventually lead her to have a romance with one of six handsome heroes. Go get Koinegau if you want to play it and have Switch (Because it's only available on Switch). As for Oppai Samurai, once again it's about a very famous demon slayer who've been forced to have sex with nobody, and it also has interesting description courtesy of Cherry Kiss translator. Go get Oppai Samurai if you're interested with it, and have fun. Shiravune announced they'll release another nukige from Appetitie with the localized title Queen of the Otaku, and they already have the exact release date for it in which it'll be on July 18th later. Other that announce the new title, Shiravune released Kuroinu Redux with them had all characters in silhouette on top of cutting the contents leaving the prologue alone in Steam version, which is understandable considering Valve can be very random when it come to ban even with the game that has less explicit contents. From what I hear apparently it has new contents, although in the end it's still redundant anyway. If anything else, at least people can purchase the whole Kuroinu in cheaper price seeing that Mangagamer release it in three parts with each parts price is at 25 dollars. Sekai manage to be predictable by announced both of Animal Trail FD and Animal Trail 2 back in Anime Central, and at least the graphic for both are good seeing that Unless Terminalia (The VN from the same company) won the Best Graphic Award back in Getchu 2022. Oh yes, Sekai already had both are fully translated and edited with them currently wating the build for both. For the other updates, Sekai also has Imuto no Seiiki was in QA which mean they manage to get the engine, and lastly we have Amairo Chocolata 2 being approved by Valve with Sekai currently doing the testing for it. Mangagamer announced two VNs, with the first one is the aforementioned Uchi no Koibito that Mangagamer was suddenly released on Anime Central. For the premise, this time instead of living with either his childhood friend or little sister, the MC live together with two girls who work at the cafe that the MC frequent because their home was burned down, and obviously it'll lead the MC to eventually have the romance with two girls with them occasionally do threesome. With this, now we have Uchi trilogy available in English, so go get the VN if you interested with it and have fun. The second one is Nightmare x Vampire in which it's possibly Mangagamer's secret project with the progress is fully translated and edited, and this time we have the vampire girl Rei who at first have rivalry with Setsuna (The first Nightmare series MC) before finally respect each other capabilities. Obviously, we'll going to have Rei got raped as per Nightmare series. Mangagamer also has several updates with the most significant one is Sona-Nyl finally in testing, which if we know that it's been announced from all the way back in 2016 it mean that the wait for is is almost over. Speaking of testing, Mangagamer also mentioned that they almost ready to do the testing for Raillore. For the rest of the updates, we have Rance 03 is at 48% translated along with 29% edited, Rance X is at 56% translated along with 5% edited, Funbag Fantasy is past halfway (51%) translated along with 49% edited, and Eve of December is at 91% translated along with 8% edited. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been discussed several times, but even after I studied the entire VNDB, I still couldn't find what I need (and even if I could, it's catastrophically small). I need a VN where the main character has sex with a robot, or at least something similar to this. I've been looking for at least something similar to a doll for a very long time, Carnival is unplayable, but a week ago I finished "Ayakashi Yuukaku ~Karakuri Jochuu no Mukashigatari~", and I'm very happy. But it is a VN with robots that I've been trying to find for so long. Something similar happened with Impromptu from "Okasare Yuusha II", and monsters from "Mommusu Quest". It could just be a machine, but the less human, the better (that's why I didn't like "Bishoujo Mangekyou -Kami ga Tsukuritamouta Shoujo-tachi-(BIMAN 3), but it's still a very good vn. To be honest, it doesn't even have to be a robot (but it's highly desirable). If there's something related to objects (just not artificial vaginas), then I'm also glad to know. If you need any details, I'll be happy to tell you, I don't know where to go anymore, but I hope you can tell me something. I can play both English and Japanese, via Textractor. Best regards.

Visual Novel Translation Status (10/09/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have both H2O and Anonymous Code release I decided to change 'Sand' from H2O full title (H2O -Footprints in the Sand-) into 'Code', so we have 'Footprints in the Code' as the title. As for this week, I can say that it's an interesting one, especially with the fan translation has several releases. Other than that, we also have Anonymous Code in that it's the newest entry of Science Adventure series. Other than those two releases, we also have several release announcements. Anyway, let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Craftwork delayed their Geminism release to November 24th with their reason is they want to make the work in perfect condition or something like that. Sekai announced they'll release something on 22nd later, although it's just their little sister succubus nukige. Well, at least their backlog is decreased again. Shiravune announced that they got the license for Criminal Border after posting the very obvious hint with the picture of Meryl (One of Criminal Border heroine). For the info Criminal Border is the serial VN from Purple Software with the core staffs are the one who work on Nine, although unfortunately Tsubasu is not working with them but instead they work with the new artist (Not the usual Purple Software artist), so I can only say that I need to get used to the art in that I keep thinking so ever since Purple Software reveal it. Oh yes they already have the exact release date for the 1st part, and it'll be on November 14th later. We have a surprise release of the translation patch for the VN Gensou Rougoku no Kaleidoscope in which it's Ryukishi07 VN with the Itaru Hinoue as the artist (Her art is not as bad as Koropokkur), and this time Ryukishi try to write four girls got trapped in a death game. The game master give two choice to the girls, in which they'll either see everyone or one of them dead. The other thing that I know is that it's quite underrated and it's only for console (PSV and Switch), so feel free to try the VN if you have the console and want to read more Ryukishi's work. For the updates, we have Tsuma Netori is at halfway edited, Haruka no Sora Kozue's route is at halfway translated along with the overall VN is past three quarter (77%) translated and TLC-ed, 1629 out of 2499 script files for Fate/Extra CCC are edited, and Akagoei 3 is at 52.04% translated. As for Majikoi A-5, it's the last part of Majikoi A and with this now Majikoi A is fully translated so good for Majikoi fans. I did mention that we would have H2O release in this month, although I didn't know if the translator would release it in last Friday. H2O is the VN from way back in 2006 with the anime adaptation available, and for the premise we have Takuma who is blind ever since his mother death move the rural village in order to allow himself to move onfrom his mother's death. In the village, he met the rude Hayame, the kind Hinata, and the mysterious Otoha, and Takuma somehow has his blindness gradually recovered the more he interact with the three heroines. Oh yes, the patch also translate the fandisc (Root after and another) with said fandisc add some more contents, such as the route for some side characters with one of said character is a trap (Interestingly enough the MC for the trap route is female, which to say is quite unique), and most prominently the some sort trial of Sakura no Uta that SCA-JI would have a lot of problem finishing it until 2015. Anyway get H2O if you want to play old VN from Makura which should be good as long you didn't expect another Subahibi or Sakura no Uta, and have fun. Lastly we have Anonymous Code released, and said work is the sixth game of Science Adventure series in which it had go through rewriting six times. It should also be mentioned that other than console it also available for PC, so at least you can play it if you have PC but didn't have the console. Oh yes it also has English dub, and from what I hear it's definitely far better than Taisho Alice dub lol (Although to be fair Somnium duology English dub are quite good). For the premise we have the world in 2037 still reeling after the disaster called Sad Morning in 2036, and one of the people who live in such world is Pollon who is well known hacker and has imaginary fiancee with the name Aizaki Momo. One day after his prank goes wrong, he find a girl with animal costume who has the same name as his imaginary fiancee was in problem. Seeing that Pollon is like to help someone, he decided to help Momo even though it may risk his life, if not for the gadget that allow him to do Save and Load (So yeah there'll be some Fourth Wall Break here) that he somehow gained. Go get Anonymous Code if you want the newest Science Adventure, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (23/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I'll tell it in PS later. Anyway as for this week, let's just say that it's an above average one thanks to Nekonyan's release. Other than Nekonyan's release, we also have Cherry Kiss announce yet another nukige and Shiravune has some announcements. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week here. We have From Madness with Love VN release, and what I can say is that the VN is about the MC who get transferred into another school because the MC last school was bombed by terrorists (Would be plausible to happen in war zone) will eventually date one of four heroes who are never in the same page with the MC. And yes I keep saying the MC, because the synopsis didn't mention whether the MC is male or female, so maybe this is self insert VN. Either way not my interest, but feel free to try if you're interested with it. For Cherry Kiss newest nukige, it's pretty clear the translator make the parody of Super Smash Bros with the title is Super Smash Gals: Ultimate Orgy. From what I see, the nukige is about the male MC who has his female companions being disgusted with thanks to the MC like to see their big breast, and the MC decide to correct the girls through sex. By the way it's about to be released, with the exact date will be on 28th later. For some reason, Shiravune decided to delay Succubus Session 1st pat release to be between August or September. Curiously, turned out that their plan to release the 2nd part is actually not supposed to be known by public, so they removed the entry in Johren store back in 21st after said entry is being open for at least a week. They also released Queen of the Otaku back on 18th, and the premise is about two cute girls who enter the manga club with one of the girl is someone who is very popular and didn't like anyone else is more popular than her, so of course the popular girl would end up bullying the other girl (At least that's what I got from the synopsis and review). Lastly, they also announce the exact release date for White Album, and it'll be on August 4th later. For fan translation section, we have H2O is at 15.8% in QC, Kozue's route of Haruka na Sora is at 41% translated, 908 out of 2499 (Around 36%) main script of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, ChuSingura is at 29.43% translated, Tsuma Netori is at 45% translated, Akagoei FD is at 73.56% edited along with 39.08% QA-ed, and Akagoei 3 is at 37.56% translated. There's a new group with the goal to translate Tsui no Sora Remake with the current progress was at 28% translated song with a quarter edited, although I may as well wait and see until very significant progress happening, such as the release of the full translation patch. Last but not the least, we have Nekonyan released My Klutzy Cupid which to say is quite surprising seeing that it's Hulotte VN with Shiravune did release one of it's library (Kamiyaba). Like Kamiyaba, the MC still has need to deal with love through supernatural mean, and in this time the MC Tsumugu need to be contend with the titular klutzy cupid Eil. For the premise, we have Tsumugu find a suspicious note called Love Note with the cupid who owned it Eil forcefully pass the ownership to Tsumugu. While it seems that the Love Note can force someone to be in love with the owner, unfortunately he can't just write up the name like in Death Note to do so, but instead Love Note offer the advice to get closer to the name that written in there. Also turned out that Tsumugu only have 90 days to find his love interest, or else he'll not be able to have sex anymore. While the premise is very obviously parodying Death Note, turned out that it also has the story that resemble Bokuten, albeit without 'love can only bring suffering' stuff. Go get Klutzy Cupid if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and sorry for being late here. See you next week. PS - For the title, because we have Klutzy Cupid released with someone said that the 90 days limit is like American reality show 90 Days Fiancee (Besides Death Note and Bokuten). Said reality show has the premise of pairing the people from different country with the foreigner receive K-1 visa that require the foreigner to marry within 90 days, or else the foreigner must leave. So yeah, I decided to make the parody of the reality show by changing 'Fiancee' into 'Cupid', especially with the titular cupid would accompany Tsumugu through his love interest searching.

What is an OELVN? OELVN is an acronym that stands for Original English Language Visual Novel. If you're on Fuwanovel, you know what a visual novel is already. An OELVN is just that, but it's native language is English. An OELVN can be a commercial product, but a lot of them are actually free-to-play. Why are you making this list? Recently, I had to read an OELVN for the Fuwanovel review team. As someone with very little experience with that area of visual novels, I took to looking around the forums to get inspiration on what to read. Not surprisingly, there wasn't a real resource to be found on Fuwanovel that provided an excellent jumping point into that area of the medium. This was later brought up during brainstorming with the visual novels discussion moderating team and that provided me the impetus I needed to start this list. What is this List? As the title implies, this list aims to provide information on OELVNs that might be worth reading to you as a fan of the medium at large. I hope it'll be a good jumping point for those in the Fuwanovel community who want to read OELVNs, but don't know where to begin. As well, I hope it might also spark some curiosity for those who might have little-to-no interest in OELVNs. This will be by no means a comprehensive list. It is one put together through the generous input of a handful of Fuwanovelers and through other resources and reviews that I could find on the internet. What do you mean by 'notable'? This is not an exact qualification. I'm taking titles that have interesting sounding narratives, favorable critical reception, or professional quality production value and putting them together in a list that will hopefully be of interest to those interested in starting to read OELVNs. Some titles on this list will be commercial works, others will be free. Why are you writing this list? It's true that I myself have very limited experience with OELVNs, and I'm not the most comfortable putting together a list like this that doesn't rely heavily on personal recommendations, but it's a good chance for me to maybe discover new things to read as well as share what I find with the community. Now, without further ado... The Fuwanovel List of Notable OELVNS Air Pressure by Bento Smile Notable Tags: Only a Single Heroine, Multiple Endings, Lots of Choices This one is really short, but it has impact. Saying anything more might ruin the experience for you, it might be better to make the connections yourself. Where to play: Kongregate (online), Official Site (download) Analogue: A Hate Story by Christine Love Notable Tags: Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction If you keep up with visual novels, you're likely at least marginally aware of Christine Love and her works. Analogue: A Hate Story is an interesting work, putting you (the player) in the seat as a character in the novel, unraveling the grim details of what befell the crew of the Mugunghwa. If you are finding yourself put off by the art, you shouldn't let that stop you. It is an excellent story, with an interesting narrative device, that will likely leave some lingering feelings after all is said and done. You can find a demo here. The game has a direct sequel, Hate Plus: ~Mute's Golden Days~. Where to buy: Steam, Desura Autumn's Journey by Apple Cider Notable Tags: Otome Game, Fantasy This is a short one, clocking in at around an hour. The story and setting isn't my cup of tea, but it does have excellent production values. The art has a very professional luster and the music is excellent. There's really no downside to trying it out, it's free and the time commitment is minimal. Where to download: Official Site Bacchikoi! by BlackMonkey Pro Notable Tags: Shounen AI, Yaoi, Baseball Club, Lots of Event CGs For those of you that enjoy boy love. This looks to have a really clean presentation. A bit pricey, particularly the uncensored version. Where to buy: Official Site Bermuda by InvertMouse Notable Tags: Linear Plot, Protagonist with Voice Acting This is a visual novel crafted by our very own InvertMouse. It's fully voice acted, looks good, and has some pretty cool design choices for a visual novel. A demo can be found on his official site below. Where to buy: Official Site Cave! Cave! Deus Videt by We Are Muesli Notable Tags: Lots of Choices, Minimalist Sprites This looks pretty esoteric and weird, inspired by the works of Jheronimus Bosch. Might be worth a read if you're into that sort of thing. Where to download: Official Site Cinders by MoaCube & sakevisual Notable Tags: Female Protagonist, Fairy Tale, Multiple Endings Cinders is a retelling of the story of Cinderella, one that places an emphasis on the choice of the reader. The art assets look very nice and have a storybook charm, but there's some mixed reception. From what I can tell, it's on the short side. You can try a demo here. Where to buy: Steam, Official Site Clannad -The Past Path- by Scope Games Notable Tags: Fan Fiction, 80's, Early Branching Plot, High Amount of Bad Endings I haven't played this one, but I thought it would be worthwhile to mention it. It's an unofficial prequel to Clannad made in the Ren'py engine. It's free and the developer's site says it takes between 5-10 hours to 100%. Be warned, it does contain spoilers for Clannad. Where to download: Ren'Ai Archive Death Rule: lost code by MESI Games Notable Tags: Multiple Stories, Battle Royale, Third Person Narrative Haven't played this one, but it's a death game story. The premise will probably either remain interesting or be very tiring for you by now. Might be worth checking out, it's free. Where to download: Official Site Digital: A Love Story by Christine Love Notable Tags: Linear Plot, 80's, Internet This is the spiritual predecessor to Analogue: A Hate Story, made for the NaNoRenO. It employs a similarly unconventional storytelling approach as Analogue: A Hate Story, with the narrative entirely unfolding through BBS conversations in the late 80's. It's a cool concept, the story is engaging, and it's free. If you plan on reading A Hate Story, consider reading this one first as some aspects of Hate Story will spoil the ending to Love Story. Where to download: Official Site Doki Doki no Obama by Chris Sommer Notable Tags: Parody, Politics This might seem like a joke suggestion, but I promise this game is actually fairly amusing. It's obviously not the most high-brow political satire, but it has more to it than you might actually expect. Try it out, it's free and pretty funny. Where to download: 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story by Christina Love Notable Tags: LGBTQ, Teacher Protagonist, Adolescent Romance don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story is the spiritual sequel of sorts to Digital: A Love Story. One isn't necessary to understand the other however, so you can think of it as a stand alone work. Where to download: Official Site Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos by Dischan Media Notable Tags: Science Fiction, Female Protagonist This is the first episode of the Dysfunctional Systems story, with the second one slated for some time this year. I adore the art style of this game and you can't really go wrong with the price point of $4.99. Where to buy: Steam, Official Site Jisei, Kansei, Yousei by sakevisual Notable Tags: Murder Mystery, Superpowers This is a trilogy about a teenager with the power to relive the final, dying moments of corpses. The games look nice enough, has a pretty decent premise, and from what I can tell, get progressively better as the series progresses. You can find a demo on the official site below. Also available for iOS. Where to buy: Official Site Juniper's Knot by Dischan Media Notable Tags: Kinetic Novel, Multiple Protagonists, Demon Protagonist, Shota Protagonist Another NaNoRenO game, this one is a story told from two different perspectives. The art is very slick and you can't go wrong with the price tag of free. Where to download: Official Site Katawa Shoujo by Four Leaf Studios Notable Tags: Slice of Life, High School, Disabled Heroine This one doesn't need any introduction. It's probably the most high-profile OELVN. Chances are you've already played this one, and if you haven't, you probably need to look no further on this list to find what to read. Where to download: Official Site Leviathan: The Last Day of the Decade by Marcel Weyers & Lostwood LLC Notable Tags: Episodic Story, Cyberpunk, Dark Fantasy, Dystopia, Bloody Scenes An interesting premise and setting. It's an episodic game, with the 1st episode being free. They seem to be currently trying to fund the final episode. Where to download/buy: Official Site Long Live the Queen by Hanako Games Notable Tags: Raising Simulation, Medieval Fantasy, Female Protagonist It's hard to put into words just exactly why I enjoyed this game as much as I did. The art quality varies, topping out at alright and the music is pretty generic and forgettable. The "gamey" aspects of it lose value after a single play through. Reading it was fun though. Collecting all the ways the princess can die in an achievement collecting like fashion has a certain morbid charm to it and the setting is surprisingly grim. You can find a trial version on the official site below. Where to buy: Steam, Official Site Loren the Amazon Princes by Winter Wolves Notable Tags: Medieval Fantasy, Fantasy,RPG This is something of a visual novel/RPG hybrid, though. The RPG elements are a bit bland and the combat interface leaves a lot to the imagination, but it looks good, has an alright story, and it does have elements of character creation if you're into that sort of thing. The big downside is that the bundle that includes the dlc is a bit on the pricey side. Where to buy: Steam, Official Website Nicole by Winter Wolves Notable Tags: Otome Game, Mystery, Raising Simulation, Dating Simulation This one isn't really my kind of game, but it's worth mentioning. It looks kind of like your standard otome dating sim, but with the plus of having some great looking art assets. I've read that the writing is kind of cheesy, which could be a plus or negative depending on your tastes. On top of it all, there's supposed to be a yuri version of the game released at some point. You can find a demo on the official site below. Where to buy: Steam, Official Site RE: Alistair by sakevisual & Mugenjohncel Notable Tags: Otome Game, Dating Simulation Once again not exactly my kind of game, but the description makes it seem charming enough. The art looks decent enough, it's free, and its on the short side. Might be worth checking out. Where to download: Official Site Sunrider by Love in Space Notable Tags: Science Fiction, Mecha Combat, Starship Combat, War I'm currently playing through this one myself at the moment. The game looks nice in some select areas, but it is lacking in others and you may find certain 3D elements to be incongruent with the rest of the game. The story doesn't really seem that exceptional yet, but the game play is pretty decent and it's easily available on steam for the low time price of free. Where to buy/download: Steam That Cheap and Sacred Thing by carosene Notable Tags: Female Protagonist, Kinetic Novel, Science Fiction This one comes in at around an hour and I found it surprisingly touching. It has some pretty interesting (if common) themes, but they might seem a bit underdeveloped due to the length of the game. Nevertheless, it's a cool setting with a story that's worth the read. Check it out, it's free. Where to download: Lemma Soft The Dandelion Girl by /jp/ project Tags: Literary Adaptation, Time Travel, Kinetic Novel, Science Fiction, Adult Protagonist This is a literary adaptation of a short story by Robert F. Young. It seems to have a decent reception. If you're into that sort of thing, check it out: it's free! Where to download: VN-Meido The Elevator by Cyanide Tea Notable Tags: Adult Protagonist, Detective Protagonist, Slice of Life This is a free game that seems to be about a relatively simple, human story. I'm looking forward to setting aside the time to play it. Where to download: Official Site The Knife of the Traitor by Clua Notable Tags: Female Protagonist, Mystery, God Hero I included this on this list because of how interesting this title looks. The game's art and sense of style is eye-catching, the synopsis is very curious, and it's free and short. On the whole it looks like a charming title that's worth to try out. Where to download: Lemma Soft The Royal Trap by Hanako Games Notable Tags: Proactive Protagonist, Otome Game, Intrigue This one looks interesting. The art is decent, I actually hear the story is pretty good, and a premise of playing as a well-bred lady whose job it is to mold a prince into marriageable material is an intriguing premise. Throw in some court intrigue and I think this one is worth a look. Where to buy: Official Site The 39 Steps by The Story Mechanic Notable Tags: Literary Adaptation, Interactive Adventure Game, Protagonist with Voice Acting, Crime This is a curious title that never shows any of the characters on screen, but in its stead it's fully voice acted. An interesting concept. It is based on a book, which has a number of movie adaptations. From what I've heard, it's very faithful to its source material. Where to buy/download: Amazon, Steam Witches & Woodlands by Jan-Poo Notable Tags: Parody, Fan Ficion, Metafiction, Kinetic Novel I thought this might be of interest as this is a free Umineko fan parody. From what I've heard, it's actually pretty funny. Where to download: Official Site X-Note by Zevia Inc Notable Tags: Otome Game, Multiple Route Mystery, Murder Mystery It's an interesting synopsis, looks pretty good, and the few reviews I've found for it seem to be in agreement that the story is at least solid, if not good. There is a demo available on the site below. Where to buy: Official Site Some titles you might want to keep an eye out for in the future: Exogenesis - this one has really caught my curiosity. Lucid9 Huniepop - I'm far more excited for this one than I probably should be. Queen At Arms Violet Hill Waxwing Notable sites, tools, and resources: Planet EVN - a regularly updated blog about OELVNs Lemma Soft - discussion and development boards for visuals novels, datings sims, and story based games. Ren'Ai Archive - archive games made with the Ren'Py engine, a free software engine to build visual novels. Be weary, there's a lot of stuff in there that ranges from not-so-good to shit. Steam: Visual Novels Visual Novel Database Change Log: This list will continue to be a work in progress. I'm looking to further expand on it as I discover new titles and new games are released. If you have any suggestions on something to add or would like to point out something I glaringly missed, feel free to do so. Once again, this isn't a definitive, comprehensive list. It's not a list of 10 out of 10 games. They're "notable." You might find them interesting as fans of visual novels, you might even love them, but your mileage will vary. Credits: My thanks to Rooke, Ryechu, InvertMouse, and Down for their input in putting together this list.

Visual Novel Translation Status (24/09/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and seeing Shiravune decided to license Amazing Grace I figure that I'll make the parody of its opening song title, Cold Voice, by changing 'Voice' into 'Honey' with Honey is another song from the singer's another song (Also Koiiro Chuu Lips opening), so we have 'Cold Honey' as the title. Anyway as for this week, to be honest if not for Amazing Grace announcement it would be a plain one. Other than Amazing Grace announcement, we also have a fan suddenly released translation patch for old Alicesoft VN. Another thing to note is predictable Sharin delay from Frontwing, which in hindsight make sense if we see them put more focus on Ginka. Overall this week is mostly below average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Visual Arts is finally released Tsui no Stella, and the release date is today. Well if anything else at least it's nice to see finally Visual Arts released one of their announcements back in January even though it's a redundant release seeing that there's fan translation patch for it was released back in July, and now let's see if they can also released Lunaria in this year as well. Speaking of exact release date announcement, Ninetail also about to release Venus Blood Gaia Steam version today, and good for Venus Blood fans who prefer to just buy it on Steam. Speaking of Ninetail, it's too bad that JAST need to delay the release for Gears of Dragoon 2 because they need to deal with some leftover technical problem, but at least the delay is not too long with the new exact release date will be on October 20th later. Forgot to mention that finally Aniplex about to release Mahoyo on Steam, and for the exact release date it'll be on December 13th later (The link to the store). Frontwing did predictable action with Sharin, namely they delayed it again because of some plug-in problem. I may as well say that it would be better for them to not give any more updates until all of their problem is over and they manage to set the Steam store. That said, it's not like most of the people desperate for Frontwing release anyway, because we already have the main game and its FD being fan translated (Granted that apparently the FD content outside main route is MTL-ed, although turned out that it's actually properly translated with the scripts being unedited). In my case though, I just want to see the finish line for Sharin KS, if only for the backers who trust Frontwing to deliver better translation compared to the available one. Speaking of deliver better translation, turned out Mikandi keep working on Libra retranslation off-screen, and recently they announced the Halloween release plan with them currently do the testing work. Sekai did release nukige focused on little sister succubus, and I have nothing to say other than have fun if you've been waiting for it. Cherry Kiss also released their nukige, and it's about the wives who tried to be helpful to their debt-ridden husbands by working in a cafe that provide sexual service to the customers. Idea Factory announced the exact release for Bakarina VN, and it'll be on November 28th later, which I should remind that it's pure otome VN so obviously no GL routes for three Bakarina's friend. For the aforementioned old Alicesoft VN, it's Only You Re-Cross in that it's the remake of the same old VN from 1996 with said remake is from 2001. The premise is about the MC who got the evil mark in his arm with the government hunt him out of fear. After he being beaten out and then saved by the fighter with tiger mask, he got the clue to protect the eight girls with the possibility that one of those girl might be his destined soulmate. Oh yes it also has PS2 version with the MC was voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru who is known to voiced cool characters in anime, although the one that was translated is PC version. For fan translation updates, we have Fate/Extra CCC is past 90% mark (2340 out of 2499 main scripts) edited and Kud Wafter 18+ version is at 45.9% translated. Lastly, Shiravune announced Amazing Grace in which it's one of Cabbage Soft VN, and as we know they have contract with Sekai in regard of Amairo Chocolate. Granted that it's nothing new that developer can have two overseas publisher (And even Nekonyan can get Shinshou Noise which notably under DMM (Shiravune main company)), but seeing that Sekai seems to be focused on smaller Amairo Chocolate when it come to Cabbage Soft, I hope that Shiravune can also localize two other big Cabbage Soft title (Sakura no Kumo and Jewelry Heart). As for Amazing Grace, it's about the MC who find his beloved town burning on Christmas Eve only to be looped back to the start of Advent (The first Sunday of December, which in Amazing Grace it's December 2nd). From there it's up to the MC to prevent the fire in his town and find the cause of it. Amazing Grace is also has some discussion in regard of art, which may or may not like Sakura no Uta. Oh yes, Shiravune already have the release estimation, in which it's between October to December (Hopefully on December 2nd to be more fitting with the VN), and they already has the Steam store of it. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (20/08/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have both Clover Day's along with Walkure Romanze were released, I figure that I'll just combine the word from both so we have 'Clover Romanze' as the title. For this week, I should say that this is more interesting compared to the last week even though technically we have less updates, especially with the aforementioned Clover Day's and Walkure Romanze releases. Other than that, we have usual fan translation update along with Shiravune announced their new title. Overall once again this week is an interesting one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. We have Hana Awase exact release date, and said date is October 26th. Although it's only for console version, so no Mangagamer version that is available in PC. For when Mangagamer will release it, I don't really know other than it's announced that PC version will come in the future. Sekai finally have the exact release date for Usonatsu, and it'll be on September 15th later although the announcement is from JP site instead of Sekai themselves (At least we have their backlog reduced yet again). For Shiravune announcement, it's Kuroinu 2 in which it's the sequel of the first Kuroinu with the MC Derek who is said to be the second coming of the legendary Vult that has done a lot of heroic actions, and by heroic actions I mean raping a lot of women with Derek does his best to make his predecessor proud. Yeah, we'll going to have a lot of rape scenes here, and in case you want to play Kuroinu 2 then you can note that it'll be released in between October to December later. There's one underrated VN called Bloodstained Flowers that has been translated a fan, and the premise is we'll going to have a group of students came into an abandoned mansion with it's previous owner being a scientist that involved in researching a very poisonous flower that will either directly kill the victim or make the victim showing violent tendency, which naturally the group of the students will be the victims of the flower and then the madness ensues. Feel free to get the VN if you're interested with it (Available for free in the official website), and have fun. For the rest of the updates, we have Akagoei FD is at 89.66% edited along with 57.47% in QA, Akagoei 3 is at 44.85% translated, ChuSingura is at 30.45% translated, 1209 out of 2499 main script of Fate Extra CCC are edited, Tsuma Netori is at 65% translated, and H2O is at 77.7% (What a lucky number) in QA. I already know the team who translate Walkure Romanze has target to release Noel's patch on this year, although I never think the exact release date would be on the same day as Clover Day's release (Not that I'm complained or anything). For the premise itself, we have the school with the focus on jousting sport, and for explanation it's like fencing except each participant ride a horse and using lance to score points. We have Takahiro who is an ace in jousting but need to retire because of the accident (Mod Clephas point that it's better reason than Masaya's reason to retire in Aokana), although he didn't entirely abandon the path of jousting with him working as beglieter (ie the assistant) using full knowledge of jousting to assist the heroines in the jousting match. It should be mentioned that while the VN is not as well known as Majikoi, Ricotta still manage to grab some non-eroge VAs (Particularly Shitaya Noriko and Uchiyama Yumi) to act in here. Go get Noel's patch if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Last but definitely not the least, we finally have Nekonyan released Clover Day's after years of work and tribulations. From what I can gather, at first we have the translation project for this established way back in 2014 by Astro with the most progress is that he manage to release the translation patch that translate up to the prologue. Some times after that, Astro stop his translation work and Ittaku took over the project with him finishing up the translation works, although it didn't mean that it's ready to be released (The reason is because of the legal stuff). Fast forward to 2019, Nekonyan decided to offer their help with Clover Day's and announced it in January 2020, although it's still not over because Steam decided to randomly reject the initial build (Which Hikari Field need to resubmit it) and Alcot also need to work on the Plus version build. Finally after all of it was done, we have it released back in 18th. For the premise, it's about Yuuto who is live together with his (Mostly female) childhood friends with Yuuto himself is from the orphanage in England. From there, he'll have romance with one of his childhood friends. Go get Clover Day's if you've been waiting for it (At most 9 years), and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - I know that Shiravune announced Shukusei no Star today, although I'll save the talk about it for the next VNTS Review.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for this week, well compared to the last week I think this time we have more updates than release, although some of the updates can be said as interesting one, especially with one of the updates is that Sekai finally starting the translation work on Parfait Remake. Other than that, there's also Walkure Romanze update from fan translation along with several other fan translation updates. Overall, this week is an average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. I'll mention the title on PS later, and yes I know Nekonyan finally give us a bunch of updates but I'll save the talk of it for next VNTS Review. Cherry Kiss was suddenly released Muscle MILF back on last Friday. From what I see, it's more or less about a very sexy construction work boss ask the MC to fulfill her sexual needs, which of course the MC will be doing so a lot. At least the English description of this is quite entertaining if I may say something, and feel free to get it if you want to play more Cherry Kiss nukige. For Sekai updates, we have Sheol is at 90% translated, Nie no Hakoniwa was fully translated along with 20% edited, and Usonatsu is at halfway translated. Other than the aforementioned Parfait that has begin the translation work, we also have Hoshizora Kakaru Hashi starting the work as well. Sekai also has two upcoming releases, in which those two are Kanojo no Seiiki on 13th and Drapri 3 on 14th later, and yes basically Sekai just confirm that they licensed Drapri 3 which to say is very obvious so much that I'm a bit surprised to find out that they just announced it's license recently. From fan translation, we have Nursery Rhyme was almost finished the testing work, ChuSingura is at 18.88% translated, Senmomo is at 91.18% edited with side stories is at 69.13% edited, Tsukihime Remake Ciel's route day 9 and 10 are finalized, Bishoujo Mangekyou 2.5 entering the second pass, Akagoei FD is at 18.39% edited along with 3.45% QA-ed, Yosuga no Sora is at 69% TLC-ed along with 48% edited, and H2O is at 11.2% edited. Like I say beforehand, there's also Walkure Romanze in which we have Mio's route is currently being QA-ed while the translator already have some more work on Noel's route (Around past halfway up to 60%). Lastly we have Kara no Shoujo 3 trial translation patch release (The patch is in the translator's Discord), in which actually is more like the prologue of the full game. In case you wonder if the translator want to translate the full game, then the answer is not. Still, feel free to read the trial if you've been waiting for the translated Kara no Shoujo 3. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - Because we have Muscular MILF nukige release with the title has the word 'Gatenkei' that can also be translated as 'Blue-Collar Worker', I'll just change the word 'MILF' into 'Blue-Collar Worker' so we have 'Muscular Blue-Collar Worker' as this week title.

Visual Novel Translation Status (03/09/2023) Because we have Norn9 FD with Nobuo Uematsu as one of the composer released and Nekonyan also announce the exact release date for Secret Agent, I figure that I make a parody for one of the most famous soundtrack that Uematsu have, specifically 'One-Winged Angel' which is very famous as the theme of the main villain for FF7 (And yes, in the past Uematsu is more known as the main composer of Final Fantasy), so we have 'One-Winged Agent' as the title, which somehow still fitting seeing that there's Agent archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh with each members themselves are the angels that represent the planets. Anyway, while Nekonyan announcement is interesting, overall I should say that this week is another below average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Aksys did release the fandisc for Norn9, and it's obviously the after stories for each of the routes in the main game. Other than that, it's just too bad there's no Steam release for English version of Norn9 while Idea Factory approved Steam release for Chinese version. Go play Norn9 FD if you want to see it's and obviously have Switch, and have fun. Once again Frontwing delaying the release for Sharin to September, and apparently the reason is because there's still some works left or something like that. Then again, Frontwing did have two (Relatively) major releases in last two months, so perhaps the delay is kind of make sense to a degree. As for the exact release date of Secret Agent, it'll be on 29th later so feel free to take note of the date if you want to play first translated ensemble VN. For fan translation, we have the QC work for H2O is finished, so all that's left is obviously working on what's left before finally released it, and since the translator targeting September release we may see it in the near future. For the rest of the updates, we have 1465 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, Tsuma Netori is at 40% edited, ChuSingura is at 31.11% translated, Akagoei FD is fully edited, and Akagoei 3 is past halfway (50.03%) translated. We also have Aonatsu Line trial patch release, although since the translator is very honest so much that he admit that he used DeepL to learning the base of the dialogue, obviously it's no longer can be called as manual translation. At least I can just ignore this altogether now, seeing that I'm not exactly a fan of them working on Switch version instead of PC version even though I know the programmer can only work on Switch game. That's all for what I can week in regard of this week, and sorry for being short here. See you next week. PS - I know today we have Majikoi A-5 release along with Shiravune leaked a very obvious hint to their next announcement, although I'll talk about it in the next VNTS Review.

Visual Novel Translation Status (06/08/2023) Because we have White Album release, I'd make a parody of Wild Arms remake (Wild Arms Alter Code: F) by changing 'Wild Arms' into 'White Album' simply because both series have same initial (WA). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week I guess I'll just say that this is quite an average one with Shiravune has some updates to note. Another thing to note is Kagi o Kakushita Kago no Tori (Shortened as Kagitori) release, which to say has some things to talk about. Lastly we obviously still has regular updates from fan translation, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. The publisher decided to released Kagitori suddenly back in last Friday, and as expected they didn't have the sex scenes translated. Apparently the publisher is still new and Japanese native who didn't understand English, causing some questionable translation choice. From what I see in Steam discussion, it seems publisher also quite clueless when it come to release 18+ patch outside Steam, because they got the info that Valve immediately ban the company for doing so, which seems to be farfetched even with Steam randomly ban several VNs. In any case, it's too bad that it seems Cabbit didn't have enough money to go to proper VN publisher to localize their VN, so their works are always ended up localized by shady publisher. Oh yes, for the premise it's about the MC who decided to try prove the innocence of the cute girl that was accused of murder, and so the MC decided to live together with the suspect. Feel free to try Kagitori if you can get past the translation problem and 18+ contents removal. This week we see yet another ChuSingura update, with the current progress is reached 30% mark (30.14%) translated. Other than that, we also have Tsuma Netori is at 55% translated, H2O is past halfway (50.4%) in QC, 1083 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, Akagoei FD is past 80% mark (85.06%) edited along with past 40% mark (40.23%) in QC, and Akagoei 3 is past 40% mark (40.07%) translated. That's all for this week fan translation updates. For some reasons, Aksys decided to delay Norn9 FD release for a week, from initially will be released on 24th to the new release date on 31st later. Speaking of announcing exact release date, we also have both Frontwing and JAST announced it, with Frontwing will release Aikagi After Days on 25th later and JAST will release Gears of Dragoon 2 on September 28th. Sekai finally manage to release Hoshimemo FD, and well I have no much to say other than it's redundant release unless you prefer new HD graphic, although at least Sekai's backlog is decreasing. Speaking of redundant, Shiravune announced they'll release Taimanin Asagi on Q4 of this year (Between October to December), and they already set the Steam store for it, which really telling on how clueless Kagitori publisher is seeing that Asagi has a number of sex scene. Oh yes, we already have this translated for several years, although Shiravune version may have better translation. Last but not the least, we have White Album release, which should be mentioned that it's not really the prequel of well received White Album 2 even though it was set in the same setting. For the premise, in here we have the MC Touya who is already university student and has his girlfriend Yuki being an idol that currently starting to become very popular. However there's a problem with it, namely Yuki being popular put some strain in her and Touya relationship. As the result, Touya can ended up with the other heroines beside Yuki. While it sounds like it could lead to drama like in WA2, in the end it's not much seeing that WA is part dating sim. Also this is actually the backport for PS3 remake, so don't expect the sex scenes in here (The one that had sex scenes is 1998 version), although it has new heroine route to make up the loss anyway. Go get White Album if you're interested with it (Just don't expect WA2 drama), and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

The Hoshimemo HD is better for larger screens and the TL was reworked. The TL/English is somewhat better tho it still has a lot of unnecessary added text and questionable translation in some places. I guess it reads in English better?

Visual Novel Translation Status (30/07/2023) Welcome to this week week VNTS Review, and for this week since we have Venus Blood Gaia release, I changed 'Gaia' into 'Persona' simply because in Gaia we have Tarot Motif, which if we know Persona series is the category of personae (Plural form of persona) that the player could get. Although there won't be personae in Venus Blood though as interesting as it is, but instead the player will insert Persona Arcana and Shadow Arcana to the general unit. Anyway for this week, let's just say that we have a number of releases compared to the last week, so in theory this should be an interesting week. That said, my interest here is only toward Gaia release in which it's still has interesting gameplay. Overall, this week here is more or less another above average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Frontwing released PC version of Chronos Rebellion, which as we know is their failed Grisaia gacha. From what I see at least there's some original story in it, and the art is still nice looking. Go get Chronos Rebellion if you want to see more Grisaia even after the trilogy and Phantom Trigger eight-parter, and have fun. We also have Radiant Tale otome VN release, and from what I see it's about the female MC who work in an unsuccessful circus troupe (Or rather an organization called CIRCUS) wishing for their next performance to be successful. Unfortunately though, Idea Factory here is not making the PC version of this so you can only play it on console (Switch). Go get it though if you have Switch and been waiting for this. Cherry Kiss released their nukige (The one that parodied Super Smash Bros), and well feel free to play it if you interested with the nukige. Speaking about nukige, Shiravune just announced they'll release the third game of their sadistic nurse nukige (Nope Nope Nope Nope Nurse), which tell the story about the poor male who got intensive care in a hospital full of sadist nurses. Not my taste, but at least it has some veteran eroge VA. Oh yes, it'll be released on October 13th later in case you wonder on when it'll be released. Shiravune also just released Kara no Shoujo (Translated as very non-indicative The Shell) on Steam, with the version is HD version. Once again I still not change my mind that it's redundant release, especially with the patch that can insert Mangagamer translation into HD version on top translated the additional scenes, but at least people can now purchase it on Steam if you find purchasing Japanese version of it is quite bothersome. Some fans apparently like nukige Shabura Rental, and the fans did show their love by released the full translation patch of it. From what I see, Shabura Rental is about the MC who is live in his older sister dormitory and quite lucky that no residences of it are not mind of the MC because they want younger brother. As the MC luck is not ended yet, all of the residences (Including his own sister) are willing to help with the MC sexual need. Go get the VN if you want big breast nukige, and have fun. For the rest of fan translation, we have Shin Koihime Musou is at 67% edited, Akagoei FD is past three quarter (77.01%) edited along with 40.23% in QA, Chu Singura is at 29.88% translated, Tsuma Netori is at halfway translated, Kud Wafter 18+ version is at 43.2% translated, 981 out of 2499 Fate/Extra CCC main scripts are edited, and H2O is at 30.7% in QA. For the last fan translation update, finally we have all of the sex scenes from Aojashin has been translated, so in case you hold back from playing it because the lack of sex scenes now you can do it. While I know that Aojashin sex scenes not in line with what the author want, I still say at least the reader should have the choice to skip the sex scenes instead of just removed it altogether. If anything else, now with Aojashin sex scenes has been restored, at least there shouldn't be any issue if the author want to localize his all age works. Also note that there's some typo in the patch, so the translator will fix it in the future. After several times of delay, finally we have Sugar Sweet Temptation released by Love Lab. For the premise itself, is about the mysterious MC Crow who came into the town after Meru who is the granddaughter of an older baker wishing to the star, and turned out has amnesia. As for Meru, the reason on why she make a wish to the star is because she's need some help after her grandfather injured which render his bakery closed down. Seeing Meru really need help, Crow decided to help with his knowledge of bakery. It should be mentioned that while it has Kirikoi writer and the mystery in regard of Crow's memory, obviously it's far more lighter than Kirikoi. Go get Sugar Sweet Temptation if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Last but not the least, we have Ninetails manage to release Venus Blood Gaia on time. For the premise, we have the world where it has the Holy Empire that view anything else against their belief as heretic with them will do their best to get rid of it. Our MC Theofrad did work very hard to do the research on the alternative energy called ether, although the Empire did view it as heretic which obviously lead Theofrad to fight against the Empire because the Empire are about to crush Theofrad. As per Venus Blood MC, obviously he'll make good use of the tentacles to get his job done. For the gameplay, unlike in Frontier and Hollow this time we have dungeon defense gameplay with the party tried their best to repel the intruder. While I did initially think that it's not as much interesting as previous translated Venus Blood, in the end it's still an interesting VN on it's own. Go get Gaia if you want to play more Venus Blood, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (04/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as we know we have AX at this week. That said though, I should say that this week AX is quite dry compared to the last year. AX aside, of course we still have some updates with the most notable one is in regard of Sekai two releases in a week. Overall, with the update and this week AX, I can say that this week is almost exciting one with obviously the main highlight is the AX. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week, and as for the title I'll write about it on PS later. Idea Factory announced Bakarina VN and Sympathy Kiss, with them announce the former for Winter release and the latter for early 2024. For Bakarina VN, it should be obvious that it expand the story that actually is already complete in Season 1 finale with this time Bakarina and friends involved with the pirate. Also in case you want to see Bakarina has route with her female friends (Mary, Sophia, and Maria), unfortunately the VN staff decided to make the VN as full otome VN so no GL route in case someone hope for it. Idea Factory also released Charade Maniac, with the VN tell the story about a female student who've been kidnapped into some unknown place together with nine handsome men, and the cast was forced to work together while made aware with the existence of a traitor. Go get Charade Maniac if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Oh yes, I should also mention that all of those Idea Factory otome VNs are only available for Switch. Aniplex announced that they got the license for Tsukihime Remake Part 1, and let's just say that it's redundant now that we already have the full translation patch of it was released just over two weeks ago with Aniplex didn't announce PC version of it (At least it has PS4 version if anything else). Speaking of Aniplex, they released the trial for their new VN called Hira Hira Hihiru in it's Steam store. From what I see, it's set in Taisho era with the citizen suffering the disease called Aerodema with the people who caught in it called hihiru, and the symptoms is that the patient body are rotting like zombie while at the same time their cognition, memory, and awareness are slipping away. Other than that, we have Musicus writer did write the VN and it's planned to be released on this year. Speaking of release, finally we have new exact release date for Sugar Sweet Temptation on 28th later, although we may have it delayed again so let's wait and see here. Somehow Sekai didn't manage to bring anything interesting at AX, despite that they proven to at least has some interesting announcements in their past AX. If I may say something about it, at least Sekai manage to cut their own backlog a bit because they manage to have two released in a week (Amairo Chocolata 2 and Imouto no Seiiki). At the same time though, they announced the newest Nekonin VN (ExHeart Spin) that's still not released yet, so they cut exactly one backlog which while it's not much at least it getting decreased. We also have Harvest Festa progress, in that they still finishing up the translation work because they find some untranslated text and currently undergoing image editing. Honestly speaking, outside Rewrite Quest Sekai version here is redundant because of the leaked patch, but still good luck to them to finishing it. From fan translation, we have ChuSingura is at 28.57% translated, 500 out of 2499 (20%) main script of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, H2O is at 88.6% edited, Tsuma Netori is caught up with the proofread (At 35%), and Yosuga no Sora is at 58% edited. We also have the update from the remaining Akagoei trilogy, with the FD is currently at 72.41% edited along with 36.78% in QA, and for Akagoei 3 currently it's at 31.83% translated (For the info, the translator change the progress from script files count into percentage). Oh yes, we also have Kemco announced their plan to localize Archetype Arcadia with the premise is the MC has the sister with fatal illness, and the only way to save his sister is by living inside the online game. Kemco already has the exact release date, and it'll be on October 24th later. JAST USA For JAST, we have both the main and side branch (JAST Blue) announced their new licenses. For JAST Blue, we have new partner Pil/Slash which is obviously focused on developing BL title (And apparently it's quite well known with them usually has dark theme in their works) with JAST announce two of it's title. The first title is Masquerade in which I may as well call it as Hell Academy, and the premise is we have the MC who is always bullied find himself in a hostage situation with his bully and his teacher with the police point the gun at them while forcing his hostage to do some workout. The second title is Paradise with the premise the MC hoping to see cute girl in his vacation (Obviously not gonna happen), and then he caught up in the situation where everyone is suspicious with soon the situation turned to become more chaotic. JAST has Goblin on the March, which from what I can see from DLSite it's about the MC who dead and then reincarnated as goblin. From there, the MC will try breed human as much as possible which of course lead into a high number of sex scenes. Almost forgot to mention that JAST also announced Gears of Dragoon 2 estimated release time, and for the info they'll try to release it around September later. They also got another Nitroplus VN, and said title is Mojika with the premise is we have the ugly MC who've been bullied, so it's obvious that he'll enact revenge when he decided to use his hidden power to eventually rape the female who've been bullied him. While it's easy to dismiss it as dark nukige which is quite unusual for Nitroplus to produce it, seeing that the writer is also Kimikoi (Also Carnevale and Tokyo Necro) writer, it should be obvious that there's something more beneath it. Another announcement is Sisters: Last Day of Summer, with the VN has good technical aspect with the sex scenes are animated on top of the graphic has anime style. The premise itself is nothing special though, with the MC live together with a woman who has two beautiful daughters. No much I can say other than that and currently it's in QA. We also have another Alcot VN announced, and the name of the VN is Yomegami with the premise is our MC is formerly a devil who need to do a lot of good deeds in order to return to the world of God, only to have his effort is constantly foiled because of his remaining devil power. I should also mention that one of the heroine is his mother who is the reincarnation of the goddess, which while I didn't mind much of it I know some may be wary. Surprisingly JAST manage to have one of Frontwing VN, and said VN is Djibril in which it's used to be Frontwing flagship series until Grisaia. The premise is we have a girl was suddenly chosen to become magical girl in order to fight the devil, and from there the girl together with her childhood friend (The MC) do her best to do so. While I know some may wait for this, I may as well wait until JAST announce the rest of the three VNs in Djibril series. Lastly there's Yamizome Liberator, which is the Escude VN with the exactly same premise and gameplay as Revenger. That said, it has some difference, namely that the one who possessed the MC is the female demon queen instead of the male demon king, which I assume that Escude do it in order to squash the complain from some people who think that the demon king in Revenger do the NTR toward the MC. By the way I've been looking forward to see Liberator translated, so good for JAST there. Mangagamer We have Hana Awase announced by Mangagamer, and from what I see it's obviously otome VN. The other thing I can see is that it didn't have sex scenes, already announced that it would have English version, and have complicated Hanafuda card battle gameplay with the story really put the focus on the card battle itself. I don't know if the card gameplay would be as simple as Princess Waltz or as complicated as Soukoku no Arterial, although looking from the screenshot it's probably like Princess Waltz. Almost forgot to mention that the developer initially release it in four parts, and Mangagamer will release one big bundle that compile the four parts of it. Oh, and currently we already have it fully translated and edited with the remaining work on it are coding and testing. Mangagamer announce Moonstone VN, Sex Open World, and well I can say that it's their biggest announcement in a way lol (Poor the heroines though that they could suffer backpain). Anyway, the premise is that the loser MC was thrown out into another world thanks to the accident as usual, and find out the legend that he destined to be the father of the heroes that will end the Era of the War. So, of course he was chased by several female, and out of those female seven of those have lucky chance to be blessed of the future heroes with the MC does his best to produce the heroes. Yeah, this is isekai nukige all right. Also, we already has some progress on it, with currently the translator already finished working on common and Yuuna's route, and currently on a third way working on both of Anna and Alecia routes. After working with Shiravune in regard of Sacrifice Villain, Clockup decided to work with Mangagamer in regard of Dead Days. From the premise, we have several dead people trapped in the other world with the promise that they will be revived in the real live, with one condition that the people must work together to eliminate all of the monsters called specters. While it simple enough, turned out that there's some slightly minor side effect of the revival, namely their libido increased which obviously increase the complication of the situation. By the way while we know that Clockup like their disturbing sex contents, in Dead Days its perfectly possible to avoid those, as long as you did your best to avoid the bad ending. Last but not the least, Mangagamer announcement is Ixseal, in which it's the third Beat series from Alicesoft. For the premise, we have our MC Tsuguhiko who is the reincarnated demon king bidding his time to gain his former power. One day, one of the female angel, Ixseal, decided to strike Tsuguhiko when he's about to recover his power. After surviving the attack, Tsuguhiko's loyal follower decided to betray him and stole six out of seven sins from Tsugihiko, leaving him with the sin of Lust. Then he found out that his former follower also trapped Ixseal on Earth and seal her source of power, so naturally she's got weakened. Having no choice, both decided to work together with Tsuguhiko providing power to Ixseal by using his own power of Lust to arouse Ixseal. So yeah, usual Beat series setting where you need to power up the magical girl through sex. Anyway, I've been waiting the license for this, so good for Mangagamer they managed to get Ixseal's license. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week VNTS Review, and sorry for being very late here. See you on the next VNTS Review here. PS - Because we have Mangagamer announced Beat Valkyrie Ixseal and JAST announced Yamizome Revenger, I made the parody of Beat Valkyrie Ixseal, so we have 'Beat Fencer Hiyori' as the title with Hiyori herself is one of Liberator's Heroine (So yeah it should be obvious that this is not the review of the game with the premise of grinding Hiyori's status through sex lol). For more elaboration, Hiyori title is Divine Fencer, although the kanji in her title is mean Divine Guardian, which mean Hiyori title as Fencer may come from the word En garde (On Guard) that always shouted by the referee when fencing match start.

Visual Novel Translation Status (10/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and because we already have the exact release date for Klutzy Cupid may as well make a parody for an old anime I'm Gonna be An Angel! by changing 'Angel' into 'Cupid', which is fitting because Cupid is literally an angel (Or rather a Love Angel). As for this week, well it should be obvious that this week is quite plain because of the breather after AX, although at least there's some interesting update to note here, especially the announcement of exact release date for Klutzy Cupid. In the end, once again this week is a plain one and let's see what I can write about it. Turned out that JAST Blue was already finished their translation work on both of their announcements (Paradise and Hell Academy), so at least there's one big step done. Speaking of big step, we also had Goblin on the March about to enter the QA, so the wait for it shouldn't be too long. Personally speaking I prefer JAST put the effort on Yomegami or Liberator before AX, but I guess the technical works for those two VNs are a bit harder than usual. Sekai also announce their plan for Sheol, in that they'll release the trial for Q3 (Sometimes in July until September), and then do the full release in Q4 (Between October to December). From fan translation, first of all we have H2O was fully edited with the last process is the translator will do QA work before the release. Other than H2O fully edited, we have Tsuma Netori is at 40% translated, Akagoei 3 is at 33.8% translated, and 631 out of 2499 (More than a quarter) main script of Fate/Extra CCC are edited. I knew that Quof already drop his Lovely x Cation 2 and posted a quarter translated script on 4chan, although I already move on ever since Quof work with Mangagamer, so whatever. Good luck to whoever pick the slack and decided to continuing the project though. Lastly we have Nekonyan announce the exact release date for Klutzy Cupid, and it'll be on 21st later so you may note the date if you've been waiting for it. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and sorry if this week is quite short here. See you next week. PS - I know about Tsui no Stella release by fan group, although I decided to try comment on it on the next VNTS Review.

Visual Novel Translation Status (25/06/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I'll explain it in PS later. As for this week, it's definitely an interesting one with Nukitashi release despite several shenanigans happening. Other than Nukitashi release, we also has the sequel announced as soon as the first game was released. Of course, we also have other updates, with the most particular one to me is in regard of Clover Day's release. With that done, let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Frontwing announce the exact release date for Grisaia Chronos Rebellion on July 27th, and I can only say 'Yeah, okay. Whatever'. Admittedly speaking it could be good announcement from Frontwing, had they announced it in... 2011. My point is that while Grisaia franchise is indeed good VN, nowadays there are more translated VNs compared to back when Kajitsu was released in 2011. Cherry Kiss did release their nukige (It's Mommy Sensei: Horny Homework for the reminder), and I find that the premise is quite unique with the ugly male MC got support from very sexy (And big breasted) principal to do his revenge quest from being bullied. Go get the VN if you're already waiting for it, and have fun. This week we have H2O show some significant progress, with the current progress of the editing is past three quarter mark (75.12%) edited. Other than H2O major editing progress, we also have Tsuma Netori is at 20% proofread, 400 out of 2499 main script of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, ChuSingura is at 27.92% translated, and Akagoei FD is at 62.07% edited along with 35.63% in QA. We also finally have Alka returned after being absent for a while, and for their recent progress we have Kud Wafter all age version is past three quarter (75.5%) translated with the 18+ version is at 40.1% translated. Speaking of returning, we also have Umi kara Kuru Mono being updated with the current progress is we have 91 out of 138 script files of it are translated. JAST did release Onigokko FD, so in case you want to have little sister route back in the main VN because the little sister didn't have the route in there, go get Onigokko FD and have fun. After several years of waiting (For almost a decade ever since the original fan translation project started), we finally have Nekonyan announced the release estimation for Clover Day's, and it'll be in this August. Granted that it might be placeholder for now, but at least it's better than nothing. Oh yes, Clover Day's itself is already passed the Steam review thanks to Hikari Field submit the new build, and in case you need more proof then you can visit the Store page of it. Shiravune did announce Nukitashi 2 in which it had a new story along with the after stories for the heroines, and no idea on when it'll be released. Anyway congratulation to Qruppo now that we finally have Nukitashi released, especially after their first deal with Sol Press was failed because Sol Press lack of fund. For the premise, well it should be obvious that you better expect a lot of sex scenes because it's title and all. Or if you need more elaboration, it's about the MC Junnosuke who came back to his hometown, only to find out that the town heavily support wild sex with the new law. While it sounds good on paper, turned out that the town is basically become the police state with the government force the people to have sex, and Junnosuke has his own reason to not agree with the policy, so he decided to fight against the law by gathering several allies who've been wronged by the law in one way or another. Go get Nukitashi if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week VNTS Review, and see you next week. PS - Since we have Nukitashi release, I figure that I'll just make a parody for one of Mangamer nukige, How to Live a Healthy Hentai Lifestyle, by changing 'Lifestyle' into 'Police State' (Because Nukitashi setting is the police state), so we have 'How to Live in Healthy Hentai Police State' as the title.

Since we have someone say that Aoishiro is like 'Dark Soul of Yuri' (Thanks to a huge number of choices) along with Spiral Dystopia release, I did make a parody of a very well known newer game from Dark Soul developer, Elden Ring, with I change the 'Ring' into 'Book' (Because Spiral Dystopia plot is started thanks to the MC hold the mysterious book), so we have 'Elden Book' as the title. Anyway for this week, we have a number of releases, with the most notable one are Akai Ito and Aoishiro releases, although compared to the last week there's no much new title announcements. Overall, I guess we can say this week here is yet another average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. We have Akai Ito and Aoishiro release for Steam and Switch version, and as you know it's GL VN duology with very good graphic, which to say is still looking good even now regardless the problem that popped up in the Steam version. For both VNs, in both we have a girl who have come to the location that happen to have some problem with supernatural, and said supernatural event is meant life or death with the MC need some help from the heroines who have some experiences in dealing with those. The difference is that Akai Ito MC Kei is only a normal teenage girl and thus have no experience in fighting, while Aoishiro MC Shouko is kendo club captain so at least she has experience in fighting. While Aoishiro release is technically redundant because we have the translation for it since 2009, at least in this release we have the interface of this being translated on top have it's HDD size reduced. Go get both VN if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Frontwing released 2nd work of Milk Factory, and let's just say that you may as well play this for the arts with the heroines are keep constantly suffer back pain because of their big breast, although of course it's okay if you want to just skip it. Frontwing also has announced that they'll localize Grisaia Chronos Rebellion in which if we remember it's their now defunct mobage with the PC version apparently only have the story, and I can only comment that Frontwing surely like to milk Grisaia until it's milk is dried out thanks to the constant milking. Unfortunately Sugar Sweet Temptation release is delayed again, and the reason is apparently they still not finished with the build or something like that. Kagura Games did release Spiral Dystopia back on 26th, and from a first glace it seems to have some nice production value, although turned out that it's a game with some controversial sex scenes. That said, it still has some interesting story (Being chuunige and all) if you can see past that, courtesy of TORI who as we know is the former Rance series writer. Go get Spiral Dystopia if you've been keeping the eyes on it, and have fun. We also have another route for Obedient Women being translated (Now we have 10 stories of it in English), and the new translated route is about Ria Naeho who is not satisfying with her new marriage because she like to have variety in sex (Being young and all), so obviously she seeks that to the man who is not her husband that happen to be in her house. For fan translation update, first of all we have Senmomo is fully translated with the next step is they'll do a lot of works (Including QA) before finally release it with the target is hopefully in this year. Other than Senmomo fully edited, we also have ChuSingura is past a quarter (25.65%) translated, H2O is at 64.2% edited, AND Akagoei FD is at 43.68% edited along with past a quarter (25.29%) in QA. That's all for fan translation updates in this week. Turned out that Shiravune did have yet another project, and said project is One Remake that Nexton create as it's 30th anniversary product. For the reminder One is the work of Jun Maeda before he formed KEY, so naturally there'll be some nakige element in one along with supernatural story. For the remake, there'll be no sex scenes in there so you better not expect it, and if you've been desperate for sex scenes you can read it in old version that has been translated anyway. For the art, I can say that the coloring staff really now on how to make Hinoue Itaru art looking good, so at least her art in One Remake looks better compared to the art in Koropokkur. Oh yes, we already have the exact release date, and it'll be on December 22nd later with the release is also simultaneous release with Japanese version. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for the title, because we have ChuSingura Chapter 1 patch released along with Sorcerer's choice, I did change the word 'Chusingura' from Chapter 1 title of ChuSingura (Kanadehon Chusingura) to 'Mahoutsukai' from Sorcerer's Choice Japanese title, so we have 'Kanadehon Mahoutsukai'. For this week, other than the release for both of ChuSingura Chapter 1 and Sorcerer's Choice, we also have the other releases, although those are just nukige. We also once again have Frontwing announce the plan to release Sharin, but we still don't know if they can fulfill it or not for certain. Overall, at least this week is slightly more interesting compared to the last week, although in the end it's another below average one, so let's see what I can write in regard of it. Frontwing did announce that they'll release Sharin in August later, and they'll release the different version with the different resolution (All age version with 16:9 resolution, 18+ version with 4:3). The reason is simply that they only have 16:9 assets for all age version, so they decided to just release it as soon as possible. Also yes as you can see it mean that Frontwing failed to do the ability to change the resolution within the game that they promised earlier, although to be frank it's more or less a colossal waste of time seeing that I didn't see the VN that allow the player to change the resolution (I may be wrong on this). That said, even with I said that what Frontwing did is 'colossal waste of time', at least we should give them a point trying to do it so that the player can enjoy the CG in both resolutions. All in all, let's see if Frontwing will manage to finally release it in August later or not. Cherry Kiss released their nukige called Virgin Knight is my Onahole Tonight, and from what I understand it's about a male vice commander who is born from royal family cover the mistake for his female junior, with said junior is the girlfriend of his female commander. After the incident, the male MC started to teach his commander on how to have sex with male, and turning the commander into masochist while at it. We also have Shiravune released Hypno-Mart nukige, and once again the premise is about a convenience store manager who have enough of a naughty female part time worker give a lot of correction to the worker (Obviously involving hypnotism and a lot of sex). Go get either nukige (Or maybe both of those) if you want, and have fun. Both JAST and Mangagamer released their BL VN, and I can only say that at least it has interesting dark premise. For Mangagamer release (Lkyt), it's about the struggle in a world where demon keep invading humanity, and humanity was only left with a very small part of the world, so yeah it's more or less like Attack of Titan which in turn was inspired by Muv Luv Alternative. For JAST release (The aforementioned Sorcerer's Choice), it's about a sorcerer who need to quickly decide his life choice after his family was attacked by a violent mob, and said choice is whether he'll either chose light or dark. Go get either BL VNs if you interested with those, and have fun. From fan translation, we have Yosuga no Sora is at 70% TLC-ed along with 53% edited, Ciel's route of Tsukihime Remake has been fully edited up to Day 13, and Tsuma Netori is at 30% translated. Lastly we have the patch that translate Chapter 1 of ChuSingura, and the patch here is obviously translate 20.99% of it. For the reminder, while we already have the translated ChuSingura way back in 2016 on Steam, it should be noted that it has some mistranslation on top that it cut the sex scenes along with several other scenes. While I can see on why the publisher cut several contents, it's still too bad that there's no translated version of the removed contents, until now at least. Obviously the patch is still far from complete, seeing that there's still four chapters remain untranslated, but at least now you can have the translation for the uncensored Chapter 1. Oh yes, you can get the patch in this link, although it didn't compatible with Steam version. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for this week title because we have Process of Elimination release with a group of detective called Detective Alliance fighting against serial killer, I decided to make a parody from usual title in Kindaichi (And sometimes Conan), so we have 'Detective Alliance Murder Case' as the title. As for this week, honestly speaking it's kind of plain after both of Kunado and Ars Magna release, but on the other hand at least we finally got the release date for Sugar Sweet Temptation along with Sekai gave us some updates. Overall, this week is a below average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. For Process of Elimination, the premise is like what I said above with a group of detectives gather in order to fight a serial killer who already killed 100 people called Quartering Duke. Obviously like in any detective story, nothing as easy as it goes, especially with the elusive killer already mingled with the detectives and decided to challange them with Danganronpa like game. So the chaotic situation ensues with some detectives was enticed by the killer challange and then killed the fellow detective, with all hope to put the chaos to the rest by unmasking Quartering Duke is left to the MC Wato who got called as Incompetent Detective. Go get Process of Elimination if you've been interested with it along with have console (NISA didn't release Steam version of this), and have fun. Cherry Kiss announced a nukige with the premise the MC is the subordinate of a female knight, and they'll release the nukige on 21st later. Speaking of nukige, Fakku released the nukige that have both of kitsune and tanuki, and I have no much to say other than it should be a nice release if you want to see a lot of sex scenes featuring kitsune and tanuki. Shiravune announced a nukige with title Hypno-Mart that they'll release in 25th later, and it featuring the MC doing a lot of correction toward the naughty gyaru who work part time as cashier in a convinient store. Love Lab finally announced the exact release date for Sugar Sweet Temptation, and the said exact release date will be on 28th later, so you may note the date if you've been waiting for it. As for the most recent Sekai updates, we have Chiisana Kanojo is at halfway translated along with 20% edited, Hoshizora Kakaru Hashi is at 10% translated, and Sheol is fully translated. There's also the update in regard of engine work for two of their projects, in which we have Imouto no Seiiki engine work is 80% done and Harumade Kururu engine work is 60% done. While it's obvious that Sekai want to work on Imouto no Seiiki engine as soon as possible, it's kind of interesting to see that there's some significant progress with Harumade Kururu engine work, so hopefully it mean that we finally can have it released in the near future. From fan translation, we have H2O is at 44% edited, Tsuma Netori is at a quarter edited, and Koiyasumi is fully edited along with 34.62% edited. There's also White Album update with it is at 17.48% translated, with the most important thing to note is Yuki's route is fully translated and the translator will work on Rina's route as the next route to be transated. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - I know there's some Sharin update from Frontwing today, but I decided to save the talk about it for my next VNTS Review.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and sorry for being very late here. For the title, because we have Soushin no Ars Magna release with it has alchemy school as the part of the story, I decided to make a parody of Mana Khemia because Mana Khemia also has alchemy school, so we have 'Soushin Khemia: Alchemists of Archeus' as the title with Soushin here is the equivalent of Mana (Both 'Soushin' and 'Mana' are the in-game name of the spiritual creatures that had connection with nature) and Archeus is the place setting of the VN. As for this week, with Ars Magna release I can say that it's an interesting week, although of course we also have several other notable updates beside Ars Magna release, such as Anonymous Code exact release date. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Cherry Kiss released Sex x Hex, and well feel free to play it if you've been looking forward into it. Speaking of exact release date, we have JAST and Aksys announced the exact release date for their VNs. As for which VN, JAST will release Sorcerer's Choice on 21st while Aksys will release Koinegau on May 18th later. As for Anonymous Code release date, I did late to know this but better late than never. Anyway, Spike Chunsoft will release it on September 8th later, so you may note the date if you want to play it. It also will be available for PC, so you didn't need to buy the console to play it. Last but not the least, we finally have Shiravune announced the exact release date for Tamayura Mirai, and it'll be on May 12th later. Forgot to mention that we also have Bishoujo Mangekyou 2.5 release, or if you prefer translated title it would be 'Kaleidoscope Beauty: You were the Girl (I Knew) Back Then'. The premise is about a man visited his lover who work as a waitress of a hot spring inn in the middle of the mountain, and in said visit both couple will have a lot of passionate love making. Well go get the VN if you took a liking of Bishoujo Mangekyou art, and have fun. Almost forgot to mention that it's been in the working ever since 2016, so it's nice to see that it finally fully translated even if it taking almost seven years to have it. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have Senmomo is at 94.63% edited with side stories is at 81.2% edited, Tsukihime Remake Ciel's route day 11 is finalized, Yahiro's rute of Haruka na Sora is fully TLC-ed with Sora's route is at halfway edited, H2O is at 38% edited, and December When There is No Angel is fully translated with TLC work of it has begun. We also have White Album translation project, as in the first White Album in which it didn't have the connection with WA2 except for the vocal songs. The premise for White Album is about Tooya who already has girlfriend Yuki, although currently their relationship has some strain because of Yuki's popularity, so Tooya here can try very hard to maintain their relationship or break up and find a new girlfriend. Oh yes the translator chose the new version, which to say is understandable seeing that 1998 version graphic is quite outdated, although it should be noted that new version is the backport from PS3 version so there'll be no translated sex scenes. For current progress, currently it's been at 16.53% translated. For Ars Magna itself, on paper it gameplay has some alchemy, although turned out it's not as in depth as like in Kamidori or Atelier franchise. That said, the story itself is definitely has some alchemy element, especially the aforementioned Mana Khemia. For the premise, we have Shin who live in Archeus that faced the crisis with a mysterious power corrupted the spiritual creatures resulting in the birth of the monsters, and in order to face the crisis Shin entered the Cagliostro Academy that train the alchemists. After some times, Shin find out that his own hidden power might be the key to resolve the crisis. Like in Venus Blood (Same developer), in here we can either had Shin keep going to do his quest to save Archeus or perhaps give in to the temptation to abuse his power, or in easier word law and chaos routes respectively. Go get Soushin no Ars Magna if you've been interested with it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and for this week since we have Kunado Kokuki release with it being set in the same setting as Amatsutsumi with kotodama power and all, I reuse the title 'Code Kotodama' from Code Geass parody and adding 'R2' in order to match the 2nd season of Code Geass anime, so we have 'Code Kotodama R2' as the title. Anyway for this week, if I may comment is that it's an interesting one thanks to Kunado release alone, although for the updates there's no much that I can write about. That said, let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Sekai released a NTR VN, and from what I see it's about a man that interact with Fujiki who is a female high school student. The man also like to imagine Fujiki's downfall, in that it involved being in the relationship with the older man. Feel free to try if you interested with it. Another route for Obedient Women being released, bringing all eight routes to be translated. The newest route here is deal with Kisaragi Sayako who is a housewife that suffer from a lot of sexual frustration because she was unable to have sex with the aging husband. Fakku announced they'll release a nukige on Friday later, and from what I see it's about the MC who come back to his hometown met with both kitsune and tanuki. Frontwing also announced a nukige as well, in which it's the 2nd work of Milk Factory with said company has high production value in regard of their VNs, especially with the breasts. Still no release time for it as of now. This week we have two translation patch for underrated VNs release, with the first one is Princess Cage with the premise that the host MC met up with a mysterious 20 years old woman with the MC will have some sort of relationship. Another release is the translation patch for Gakuen Senki, in which it's the VN from Champion Soft (Alice Soft predecessor) that has the MC being a student council president who've been solving the requests from the students with him slowly approaching the secret behind the school. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have Shin Koihime Musou is at 64% translated, Senmomo is at 95.09% edited with side stories is at 82.81% edited, Tsuma Netori is at 20% translated, and H2O is at 41% edited. The biggest news for this week is obviously Kunado Kokuki release, in which I've been suspected that it'll be available on Steam seeing that Purple Software was drastically reduced the sex scenes to 13 which is about half of sex scenes in Amatsutsumi and Aoi Tori, and yes it's available on Steam as expected. The one who publish Kunado is not either Mangagamer or Sekai, but instead Shiravune which prove that Purple Software is indeed very flexible when it come to their partners. For the premise, we have Shin who was found himself in a world where the metal became sentient, and turned out the world is actually the Earth in 1000 years later with the civilization back to the middle age Japan because of the metal sentient. In exchange, the people did develop super strength to fight the metal sentient, although it cause the people forgot about hope and happiness. After find out what happen, Shin decided to do what he can to teach the people both of hope and happiness even with his memories for the most part are gone. Go get Kunado if you interested with it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

For this week title, since we have've about to have Kanojo no Seiiki release, I figure I make a parody based on a RPG. Said RPG is Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk, and I changed 'Labyrinth' into 'Sanctuary', so we have 'Sanctuary of Refrain: Coven of Dusk' as the title. For the info, while Sekai chose to localize 'seiiki' as 'Special Place', the most common translation of it would be 'Sanctuary'. The reason on why I chose to make parody of Labyrinth of Refrain is because we have Eri Sendai voiced the main character of Labyrinth of Refrain, and she also voiced the main heroine of Kanojo no Seiiki. As for this week, while there's no significant release at least we have a bunch of update from Nekonyan, and that we have the exact release date for Tokyo Necro. Overall this week is a slightly above average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. As for the aforementioned Tokyo Necro exact release date, it'll be today and as of this blog post was written it's still not released yet. Speaking of exact release date, because of some circumstances outside of control Shiravune decided to delay Tamayura Mirai release, and therefore the exact release of it is no longer on April 21st (It might be possible that the circumstance is related to the build). That said, the estimation release time is still within Q2 of 2023, so we may have it released before June 30th later. From fan translation, this week we have ChuSingura is at 19.24% translated, Yosuga no Sora is at halfway edited, Akagoei FD is past a quarter (25.29%) edited along with 8.05% QA-ed, and H2O is at 19.4% edited. For Nekonyan's updates, it should also be noted that there's some regression with Baka Moe Heart is at 74% edited and Kakenuke is at 15% translated (Along with 5% edited), although it might be because of the script recalculation find out that there's some more hidden lines to worked on with. For more updates from Nekonyan, we have both of Floral Flowlove and Klutzy Cupid are fully translated along with 60% edited, Shinshou Noise is fully translated and edited, Koichoco is at 17% edited with the porting work to Unity is ongoing, and Enki Dekinai is also at 17% edited. We also have Irotoridori image editing ongoing, Clover Days has additional image editing ongoing, Dracu Riot QA still waiting the build for it from Wamsoft, and Secret Agent is nearly ready for QA. Nekonyan also add one more secret project dubbed as 3rd secret project, with it has been fully translated and edited. For the last update, we have 2nd secret project is already been fully translated and edited. That's all for Nekonyan's updates. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Because we have Tokyo Necro release with he VN has a lot of zombie and fighting against it, I figure that I should make a parody of a manga with similar premise, Highschool of the Dead (Which sadly can never be finished because of the author's passing), by changing 'Highschool' into 'Frozen Capital', so we have 'Frozen Capital of the Dead' as the title. For the info, the kanji 'To' in Tokyo Necro Japanese is meant 'ice', which is different for the kanji 'To' that usually used to write Tokyo in Japanese (Said 'To' kanji itself meant 'east'). As for this week, with a bunch of new title and releases, I can say that this is an exciting one, especially with both of Tokyo Necro and Walkure Romanze Mio's patch releases. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Cherry Kiss will release another nukige Sex x Hex on 31st later, and I can say that it involving the prince MC will have a lot of sex with the sisters of three with those three are the witches. Speaking of release announcement, Mangagamer also announced that they'll release Lkyt on April 20th later. Sekai did release both of Kanojo no Seiiki and Slobbish Dragon Princess 3, and I suppose I can say that both VNs are quite good graphically wise, especially with the latter in that another VN from the same company (Unless Terminalia) won Best Graphic category in Getchu 2022 awards. For the premise, Kanojo no Seiiki is about the MC who is encounter his tsundere childhood friend through some dramatic event, and for Slobbish Dragon 3 the lazy MC did encounter yet another sexy dragon. Well go get both if you interested with those, and with this now we have Sekai's backlog slightly thinned out. Ninetail had a new surprise license, and said license is Soushin no Ars Magna in that they already had the release date on 31st later. It's interesting to note that Ninetail didn't use their usual partner JAST to help with the localization, but instead they ask a less known publisher to do so. For Soushin Magna itself, from what I see it's about the MC who study alchemy in a world where the man-made Goddess Soushin gone mad and causing chaos. I only know that the gameplay might be not too good according to mod Clephas, so I might need to lower my expectation on this. Other than Ninetail, we also have Shiravune announced that they licensed Kunado Kokuki (Proving that Purple Software indeed very flexible when it come to localization partner) with the exact release date will be on April 7th later. It's also interesting to note that Kunado Kokuki managed to be in Steam, which mean that Purple Software did indeed change a lot of things in order to had it on Steam. For fan translation updates, right now we have ChuSingura is at 19.73% translated, H2O is at 24.2% edited, Senmomo is at 92.56% edited with side stories is at 73.97% edited, 4 out of 56 script files for Bishoujo Mangekyou 4 are translated, Koiyasumi ia at 72.72% translated along with past a quarter (26.39%) edited, and Akagoei FD is at 9.2% in QA. For the aforementioned Walkure Romanze Mio's patch release, it should be obvious that the patch will translate Mio's route along with Common, Celia, and Lisa routes. With Mio's patch release, all that left is to finishing the work on Noel's route in which currently it's at 70% translated/edited, and I'll call Walkure Romanze full translation patch as Noel's patch. That's all for fan translation updates. The biggest release of this week is obviously Tokyo Necro. While it's another Nitroplus VN, of course we shouldn't expect this as another Muramasa, but rather expect it as another Gekkou no Carnevale (Same writer and all) with action that was shown in 3D. For the premise, in 2199 the world has experience another ice age (Thus the reason on why kanji 'To' in Tokyo Necro mean ice) on top still reeling from both the aftermath of the big war and the worst pandemic. To make it worse, there's several people who animate the corpse into zombies, and such people are called Necromancer. Our male MC Sooun and female MC Ethica are belonged in an organization that hunt the Necromancer, and the VN itself was started by their mission to hunt one of those. I should mentioned that Ethica is only like female and she never have sex scene with male, so we can say that Tokyo Necro here is half GL VN lol. Go get Tokyo Necro if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

You can do the same using SRL and GARbro. GARbro provides the ability to extract .cpz archives and .pb2/.pb3 images through UI, while SRL provides string replacements(editing scripts), It has auto install for CMVS engine, so it should be able to cover every CMVS game. imo it's a lot more convenient than having to use cmd. I also cooked up a simple piece of code which renames images from .png to .pb3 and vice versa, which you can download here(includes both the executable and source code). If you want a more detailed guide on how to do it with this approach, you can find it here

OK, first I am going to avoid spoilers throughout this review, so I would like those who want to comment to avoid the same, even in spoiler boxes. This is one of those games that is going to be harder to enjoy if you spoil it for those who come after, so I will personally eat anyone who spoils it. This VN is by the same writer who did Sumaga (blech), Gekkou no Carnevale (yay), and Totono (a VN a lot of people here liked). However, the style of story is much closer to that of Gekkou no Carnevale than to Sumaga, thankfully. So, those of you who have heard me bitching about Sumaga need not worry that this is going to turn into a long rant on how horrible anything by this writer is. First, I am going to give you an idea of the basic setting. It is 2199 and the world has plunged into a new ice age (this is actually one of the hypothetical results of global warming irl, if the Greenland glacier slides into the ocean early enough). Up until a decade before the story, humanity was fighting over the warmest areas of the world, putting all their power into a war that was becoming increasingly meaningless. In that war, there were many scientific advances... but the two that are most relevant to the story are Necromancy and the zombie-killing techniques developed by the protagonists' fathers. Necromancy is undertaken by injecting a special type of nanomachines into the human brain after death, turning the individual in question into one of the Living Dead and the person who did the injecting into a Necromancer, capable of moving the undead results at will. The zombie-killing techniques central to the story are the use of one vs many weapon techniques (the basic one is two pistols with muzzle spikes, which the male protagonist uses, though the female protagonist's basic fighting style is based off of the same) in combination with the EX-Brain, an analytical computer that fits onto a person's head and allows them to notice things their subconscious recognizes but their conscious mind doesn't (details the conscious mind filters out), thus allowing the person in question to fight more effectively. Tokyo of the future is a dystopian hell, where refugees from all over the world have gathered, necromancers roam the streets with their armies of the living dead, and bounty hunters (like the protagonists) hunt them for their daily bread. The city itself is kept alive by geothermal heat spread throughout the city by water-filled 'hot pipes' passed through the hot spot underground and circulated throughout the city. Main Characters (protagonists, heroines, and main antagonist) Nagaoka Souun Souun is the son of a hero of the American-Chinese War, who was killed some years ago. On the surface he doesn't show much in the way of emotion, and his fighting style is one where he uses the dual-pistols in combination with his EX-Brain to fight in the most efficient way possible, obeying the suggestions of his own subconscious like a machine. Indeed, he himself isn't really sure he has emotion, and that is one of his major internal conflicts throughout the story as he deals with his personal issues. He is a badass, to put it bluntly... the kind of guy who can re-kill thirty zombies in under a minute without taking a single scratch. His body has been trained using both conventional methods and tailor-made nano-drugs to turn it into a weapon capable of perfectly obeying the EX-Brain's suggestions. Kibanohara Echika Echika is in just about every way Souun's opposite. She is a rebel, preferring to use a chainsaw and shotgun and frequently ignoring her EX-Brain's suggestions in favor of her own impulses. She believes emotions should be immediately be shown on the surface and indulged, and she is more than a little hedonistic by nature. She is also a straight-out lesbian who has no hesitation going after pretty girls. Her outright hatred for her father is the most obvious cause for her rebellious nature and her unwillingness to use her EX-Brain (the horns, as opposed to the full helmet Souun version Souun uses). Hougyou Iria Iria is the main heroine of the story and the focus for most of the events in it. She has extreme synesthesia (look it up), though she is quite functional despite that. Her initial setting, amnesia, is one of the most obvious tropes out there, but it isn't the focus of most of the story. In a world where people are rapidly losing their emotions, both positive and negative, she is a bright, cheerful young woman whose very presence makes people feel hopeful and light-hearted. She is also an otaku. Kijou Mitsumi Kijou Mitsumi is Souun's 'other' potential heroine. She is, like him, a hunter of the undead. However, she uses a katana and muscle-enhancing suit, along with her talent for mapping out the actions of enemies on the battlefield, rather than the style used by Souun and partially rejected by Echika. To be honest, this is one girl who has a singular talent for getting herself into trouble... and a lot of it is caused by her somewhat single-minded personality. She is very devoted to any cause or person she latches onto, but that also means she tends to become dependent on those she attaches herself to, which is the cause of her personal conflict. Aso Kiriri Echika's adoptive older sister. She is the most 'normal' person amongst the main characters, ironically, despite the fact that she is a high-ranking member of the Military Police under Echika's father. She is kind-hearted and constantly worries about the broken relationship between Echika and her father, as she loves them both. She also is very idealistic, believing that her duty as an officer of the law is the protection of Tokyo's people above all other things (an idealism almost unheard of in the somewhat tyrannical Military Police organization). Kon Su Kon Su... is probably the straight-out weirdest character in the VN. She is a hard M (with bold and italics for emphasis), and she has casual sexual relations with both protagonists. She is a professional hacker, information broker, undead analyzer (dissects and analyzes undead bodies and brains to discover the individual styles of necromancers... sort of like forensics), and she is also one of Souun's and Echika's supporters. Unfortunately, explaining her weirdness is not really possible without spoiling the VN, so I'm just going to drop it. Incidentally, her path isn't really a straight-out heroine path, for reasons that will be obvious to anyone who completes one of the paths. Milgram Milgram is the charismatic leader of the Researchers, an organization of Necromancers that believe the only hope for humanity is to escape from emotion through death (extinction). He isn't your standard nihilist, but the philosophy he espouses is. This guy... is the single most powerful Necromancer in existence, which means he is also an extremely emotional person (emotion and artistic sensitivity being requirements for creating the best undead). This guy is flat-out scary, eerie, and freaky. However, in many ways he is a representative of one of the major aspects of the world the characters are living in. The Story For better or worse, this story has a ton of guro and is basically an action-horror story. If you can't deal with heroine deaths, torture, zombification, and occasional rape, this definitely will be hard on you. A lot of effort goes into portraying the most gruesome parts of the story in a way that will be as horrifying as possible, and the heroines don't always escape this particular treatment, so it is best to prepare yourself before jumping in. The lighter points - mostly centered around Iria - actually only serve to enhance the sheer horror and bleakness of the setting, which is basically an extension and enhancement of what this writer did in Gekkou no Carnevale. By nature, any story as full of zombies like this one is going to be dark, and this one really does go to the extremes of the dark end at times. It is really hard to talk about this story without spoiling some of the primary elements (and because I figured out those elements too early due to certain hints, my own reactions were more ones of 'expected horror/sadness', so I'd prefer not to do that to you all). To be honest, emotionally connecting with this story was hard at some points, but as I got deeper into the characters - usually near the ends of the paths - it became a lot easier. In terms of action, this VN is full of it, but it is most emotional toward the end of the paths and in the true route. Kon Su's route serves a purpose different from the other routes, revealing elements of her past that are important to the story as a whole while showing the steel that lies beneath the stuttering, drooling do-M surface of that character. Whereas the other routes have some element of romance, Kon Su's lacks that, and I honestly thought that was for the best (I honestly couldn't imagine any ending where she was romantically involved with either of the protagonists, as opposed to just sexually involved). Ironically, if I were to say which of the routes (other than the true one) touched me in the most positive manner, it would be this one. I really suggest anyone avoid playing Iria's route until you've played all the other heroine routes. It feels a lot more natural if you go into the true route straight after finishing her route, as the true route is in many ways wrapped up the most intimately with hers. The other routes can probably be played in any order without a problem, but I do advise you take my suggestion above seriously. Visuals Normally, I don't talk about a VN's visuals that much, but because of the styles used here, it needs to be mentioned. First, I should mention the action-scene styles. The action-scenes are defined by a type of cell-shaded animation that is very similar to SMT: Digital Devil Saga on the PS2. Literally, the action scenes are animated and combined with highly-detailed battle descriptions to give a degree of depth that is pretty rare even in action VNs. I was doubtful at first, but this VN definitely benefited from using this particular technology (though it probably detonated a nuclear bomb under the budget). The regular visuals, as seen above, are more 'classic-style' Nitroplus, so if you've played a Nitroplus game made since Muramasa, you probably noticed that it is in the same general style. As a result, there is no real need for me to discuss them... except that the way the designers used them was pretty amazing. The dystopian feel of the pipe-wrapped city of Tokyo in 2199 is pretty eerie-feeling and definitely adds to the general atmosphere of the story. The tendency to dress most of the characters in dark or harsh colors (except Iria) was probably intentional, to further add to this atmosphere. This is one of the few times in the last year when I've actually felt that a company went above and beyond when designing every visual aspect of a VN. Audio Musically, this game isn't really unique. The BGMs all feel 'familiar', though they are used effectively to enhance the mood, so I give this VN high ratings for its BGM use, if not for the songs themselves. Nitroplus's use of music shows a tendency to prefer unobtrusiveness and 'enhancement' as opposed to the use of music to 'define' the mood seen in a lot of other VNs (Hapymaher being one of the most extreme examples of the latter). What really struck me is the wide variety of sound-effects, such as gunfire, cutting sounds, etc, and the use of those sound effects. To be honest, the sound of zombies being blown apart by bullets in this VN is going to linger in my ears for quite a while, as is the sound of Echika's 'Rabbit Punch' chainsaw. Overall Overall, this VN is pretty impressive. I can honestly recommend this... though not to just anyone. To be honest, the 'average' VN-reader who prefers moege-variants will probably not be able to stand the darkness of this game. If you don't have a reasonably high tolerance for guro and dark atmospheres, this is going to be a hard VN for you to enjoy. Zombie-lovers will probably flock to this VN by the thousands if it ever gets translated, because it really does draw in a lot of what people like about the 'zombie apocalypse' style movies and TV shows, while giving it a uniquely Japanese/otaku media flavor. However, this VN is emotionally draining, so I do recommend taking it in smaller doses than I did (every minute I wasn't working for the past four days). In my opinion, this VN can be considered a straight-out kamige, but it is also a VN that picks its readers... simply because it is so high-stress.
