RIP last note of the song...

You just inspired me to write a novel.

How to Play: Type down what you want the character to do or say and he might do it. NOTE: Fiddle is the new gamemaster. I have faith in his skills. The year is 1814. In the island nation of Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate ruled and peace prospered throughout the nation. You are a ronin who lives in the city of Edo. You were reading a manga book when a young man entered the pub you were in. He said: GLOSSARY: CHARACTER INFORMATION

I think I just had a flash of divine inspiration. So regarding RinPana If you were to just abreviate the names and put them together, Rin and Hanayo would be RinHana, now this kind of doesn't sound that well when pronounced. But the point is, this kind of stuff (pairings) is always written in hiragana, and in this case it would be りんはな (RinHana) So how did the P come to be? Well what is Hanayo's favorite food? That's right, Rice! And what does rice look like? Small round seeds. And what does the character for Pa looks like? ぱ So why ぱ (Pa) instead of は (Ha) ? Because ぱ has a small little circle representing the rice Hanayo loves so much! Case closed.

I love to read books. I enjoy playing games. However I find that Visual Novels are a little different from them. Most books are told from a third person perspective. Even if it is told in first person you don't really get to be in the persons shoes. Games I find completely different to a VN as I look for different qualities and focus on the gameplay as well as the story. VN's turn you into the protagonist. The stories themselves are just as/more emotional than books while maintaining quality at times. Along with the music it just provides a refreshing experience. However in the end however I try to explain it, the reason I read them is simply because I enjoy it.

because of the feeling "become the protagonist yourself and making girls fall for you"? Well, simply because I find them interesting, in an "unknown" way?

Duuuh.

The age old question why do we play/read VNs more importantly why do you play/read VNs hell why not just play a game or you know read a book? (pause for effect) ok ok books aren't that fun at least in my opinion cus you know you can't choose your romance in a book then again not all VNs are about romance you know the bad VNs (I'M JUST KIDDING). But there is more to it then just that in books you cant dictate how the book will end but then again not all VNs are choose your own adventures some are no more then picture books and that's fine.....but at that point just read a picture book....... o yeah most picture books are for children.....ok then just read manga (sigh) well at the end of the day for me this is a moot point just do what you love and if reading/playing VNs is what you love than just do it..... ok then if this is a moot point why did i write all this........well to know why YOU play/read VNs so yeah that's it....o and sorry for all the bad grammar to repay you here is a daft punk gif

EDIT : Ahaha, I didn't need to make this thread XDDD The talented Jiichi, the one behind the cool program Visual Novel Reader, has updated VNR to support PSP games runing on PPSSPP, and Sakimichi made a post on it as well as other tutorials on how to get the text hooker set up. I also managed to make everything work, croll down and you'll see screenshots of my findings. A couple days ago I discovered this program a user on LJ made that works as a text hooker for Daiya no Kuni no Alice ~Wonderful Wonder World~ PSP game emulated on JPCSP. They wrote their own text hook using cheat engine since ITH and AGTH don’t work for PSP games, and I confirmed that it indeed works for the mentioned game. I also tested it for a couple games of other companies, like Idea factory, and even though the text hooker program DnKnATH worked only for that specific game, the lengthy workaround using cheat engine worked for every game I tried. The steps seem simple enough, so I was wondering if any of the programming savvy people here would give the idea of making an universal emulated PSP game text hooker a shot. Such a text extraction program for PSP games would greatly help people who have difficulties playing PSP games without the help of machine translators. (I hope this is the right section to post this. Forgive me if I'm mistaken) 1st pic is of the DnKnATH [program at work, and the other 2 show how text is extracted manually using cheat engine.

The writer for Emi's path actually didn't want to say if Emi was a virgin or not, since they thought the guys crazy for all virgins were creepy and/or offensive. Kira Kira has a p. random h-scene with a mature woman, though she's not got a route or anything. p. hot tho.

Thank you very much for the recommendations and cute moe pictures, and just for being welcoming! I'm looking forward to have fun with you guys and everyone in this community. I like writing fantasy that really works on my imagination. But it also depends on my mood as well. That's why I think VN's are a really good medium and would like to develop them for the IOS and Android, because it's so immersive and a brilliant read! It has only been 2 months but I've literally been burning my cash on any DDR machine I find. It's too addictive, plus it attracts cute girls! I'll definitely be playing Grisaia no Kajitsu in the near future. Once again, thanks everyone for the warm welcoming!

Because translation is boring as shit.

Fix'd.

Watching Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, finally. Been holding it off for the longest time. Much loli. Super cute Illya. No can resist. Very much like. Will continue to watch.

Has anyone played the Dark Souls VN yet? It seems really weird an good ^^

If i remember correctly one of amane's H scenes also had urine in it What's up with japan and urine in H scenes?

Then you can start your story with the cliche transfer student event! Sorry about off-topic, I just had to throw that in there. Being a transfer student seems like a good idea if you wanted to stay for a while.

I want to learn how to be a popular stud.

Actually I could picture myself enjoying audio books, however I've yet to try them. Also whenever I hear the term audio book it always reminds me of this scene from Seinfeld:

Yes. WOW this guy is my new hero. One, he plays with a phone and his thumbs, and two, his leader <33333

I read them because I find them to be enjoyable simple as that.

Anything from Nujabes.

My Girlfriend is the President.

Yume = 19 (at the beginning of her route)

i personally didn't feel comfortable in any of the two H scenes,that "papa" thing felt really really wrong for me..

Welcome to the forums!

Foolish words. Do not spout anymore nonsense. Mein is love Mein is life

Mine is Romanian and Italian xD i lived 11 years in Romania and 8 in Italy

the lists above get more and more serious

Gaming, anime, history, linguistics, and, of course, linguistic history. I love competitive gaming, like "Startcraft" and CoD, as well as RPGs like "Earthbound" and "Persona". My favourite historical topics are early 20th century Europe and the history of the English language.

It was hard for me too, but I just had to click click click until I was through the with the story. You really need to finish it up to see the epic ending. It's just one big revelation to the entire Fate story. It's the last route for that reason. Also there's nothing more epic when Kirie Kotomine is involved in all of it. If Fate/Stay Night comes out this Fall and decided to borrow heavily from the HF route, you'll probably thank yourself more for reading it. Personally I disliked Sakura's route the most. The darker storyline was a bit harder to bare because it was really long (the longest) and slow at the same time. Not having any attachments to Sakura didn't help either. She's not a very attractive character to me. I've hated her archetype since Hinata from Naruto. But that's just me. I also like characters few others care about . .- BUT - Shirou does develop into a more respectable person. He starts thinking like a rational adult, having neither the overabundant idealism of a child nor the cynicism of his predecessors. I didn't rip any hairs out while reading his dialogues that time around.

Bout something like this, this or maybe this?

Still reading Psycome volume 3. I must say Ayaka is super annoying! EDIT:

When you attack the hentai heaven, you picked the wrong opponent. Sorry but Fakku should have known they'd get attacked instantly if they did that. More importantly their stuff has always ended up there, are you telling me they only figured it out now?

Yeah Light novels tend to be very long as it hard for it to be put into an anime. At least there are 11 volumes so far so a 2nd season is possible if they decide to make a season 2. You can always wait for the light novel to be translated if your desperate to know what happens next.

This recommendation is super!!! Dear krill I thank you very much for this recommendation. LoL I started reading third Volume already. Soonest I pick this up, I instantly fell in Love. (Mostly with Renko)

I wondered about this as well almost a year ago. I chose to learn japanese, as I wanted to read more vn's I liked. The ones translated weren't the ones I liked the most. If you mean by VNR Machine translators I'd pass on that. If you start using them and enjoy it, I won't hush hush you though. First I studied basic jp grammar. Then I hooked up my vn's with ITH+TA (text extracter and a Dic). I learnt japanese by reading vn's, took me around 2 months to get to read at average speaking speed. I found it fun from day 1. But it was frustrating as hell up to around 1 month later. Nowdays I can read major parts of easy-average vn's without Dic's. Watch anime without subs, I don't understand 100% everything though. Basically if someone who half assedly reads vn's like me can learn jp. I'd say anyone can.. Ganbatte lol. A active team uses around 1-2 years. Some use less. Most teams end up using 2-3 years or more..

Started to read it and I fucking love it. The hard copies of the LN are in my amazon cart waiting to be purchased next week.

Keep telling yourself that.

Rightstuf (cheapest, but shipping may be expensive; slow to stock some titles; physical releases only) J-List (I'll haunt you if you buy the Lucky Bag) Mangagamer (has exclusive digital titles that can only be bought from them) That should cover every localized game currently available at retail. If you want to use the VNDB method, Mangagamer and JAST USA are the main English VN publishers.
