She looks delicious excellent. Yuzusoft games really have mouth-watering great art.

This list is entirely devoted to VNs that serve to provide healing, light catharsis, laughs, and warm fuzzy feelings. Understand, most of the games on this list will be moege, charage, or nakige, with almost no exceptions. Some of these, I would not rate highly by my own tastes, but in the eyes of someone seeking this quality, would be awesome. I WILL NOT provide a translated list, as the last time I played a translated VN was more than three years ago, and thus others would be a better judge of what to include in the translated portion of it (hint, hint, Kaguya, Steve, and other Fuwa vets). A great story is generally not a requirement for this type of game, which is why I didn't always give them as high a rating as they would deserve from fans of the genre. Heavy drama (outside of the 'it is definitely going to end happily' type that you get in nakige) is not acceptable. I am going to be very picky for this list, as games that leave you with a bad aftertaste or leave you wondering why you bothered waste people's time, lol. (Hoshimemo would be borderline out of bounds, if you want a clear marker of what not to include. This kind of game has to be almost devoid of violence and meant to heal or soothe) Untranslated: Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no (seriously, this game is my universal recommendation from this type) Moshimo Ashita ga Harenaraba Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru ~Futari no Elder~ (rare example of sequel far surpassing the original in every aspect) Toppara Zashiki Warashi no Hanashi Sukimazakura to Uso no Machi (yes, this starts out kind of sadly, but its generally light nature and characters definitely make it soothing) Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort (as I said in my comments on this game, it is like a much weaker imitation of Uruwashi no) Clover Days (another recent addition, perfect example of a light charage with no serious drama that isn't solved relatively quickly) Chiisana Kanojo no Serenade (pure moe, stops just short of moeblob, totally light, no really serious drama) Kaminoyu (no human heroines... but this game is enormously soothing and decently funny) Shiro no Pikapika Ohoshi-sama (this was the game that came to mind when I thought of making this list) LoveKami Sakura Bitmap Strawberry Nauts Tenshin Ranman - Lucky or Unlucky!? Natsuiro Recipe AI Love: Koisuru Otome wa Kikai-jikake YES I am being very picky about this list. Not every nakige is soothing/healing for the reader, and not every moege is capable of providing easy laughs and adorable cuteness. The basic reasoning behind all of these choices is: emotional release from sympathy/empathy with the characters and an overall sense of relief of pent-up non-violent stress for the reader. I could have put up to three times this many games up here if I'd been less picky... but then I would have been wasting the readers' time. Have fun, yall.

Have you ever stopped at a certain scene in an anime or TV show and done a double take? Ever have that moment where you go back and watch something again, only to realize it's not what it seems? I recently had this happen in Angel Beats: Here we see both Hisako and Matsushita the 5th jumping out the window of their classroom to avoid being caught. I hadn't noticed it before, but take a look at the jumping speed of both of these characters: This made me realize, Matsushita isn't jumping out the window to escape, he's jumping out the window to pile drive Hisako.

Hi

I think it's an extremely self-centered opinion that just because love didn't work out for you, it can't work out for anyone.

Welcome to the forum. There are many translators here with experience who would be willing to help you. And a VN by Front Wing is certainly worth translating, good luck!

Welcome to the forums. Are you interested in translating a visual novel yourself or are you looking for someone to help do it?

Yes, yes it is. Just read it and trust me, you won't regret it.

Da Capo II starts with preparing for a Christmas party and is basically set in winter. I had to put off reading until there was snow on the ground. If you're alright with charages and aren't expecting super-deep story, you could do worse.

and dat translation : oppai = eyes XD And let's respect other people's opinions we're all friends here Ah, I know what you mean. That's my problem with heroines that start with max affection for the protag...! How can I break her heart! But you've gotta do it anyway; there's a possibility that the other girls like the protag too! You can't do that to them just because you chose someone else first, right?! Was meant to answer part 2 of OP's question, not any argument you're having. That's interesting, though. how do you keep interested in 2D girls when, unlike the 3D, there's nothing about them beyond their 1 maybe 2 stories? ...I'll also ask you to exercise more tact in discussion. As a 3D woman, I was not happy hearing that my personality disgusted someone I'm gonna be interacting with.

If you haven't downloaded MeCab you can get it here (and yes I checked it, its safe) When you install it, choose a dictionary like UTF8, any of the choices should work except UTF16

I hate those troll notes that appear when you think the song is over. I've lost so many FC because of them. And you used the media tag not the img tag.

The power of overconfidence...... put the phone down after the song "Ended"..... wtf was that note doing there??!! Edit: Whys isn't my image showing? D: pfft I'm an idiot...

Hrmmmm. Go read Fate/Stay Night. Remember. People die when they are killed.

It's not Christmas themed, but I believe G-senjou no Maou takes place right when the season is starting to turn and carries all the way through winter. If that's enough to qualify for you, I'd super recommend it. Great VN.

Couldn't recommend Swan Song enough, honestly one of the best Visual Novels I have ever read. It's a great read that fits the harshness of winter perfectly. On a side note, I first read Swan Song during my Christmas break from 2011 to 2012. Considering all the hype at that time of a 2012 apocalypse, I figured it would be a perfect time to read Swan Song.

Ren, thanks so much for sharing that story. It was indeed very touching! Eclipsed mentioned it might be fine to continue the discussion, so I just wanted to share my thoughts. There are no references or attacks against anyone here. Hopefully that is acceptable . I am not in a relationship at the moment because I have devoted the majority of my free time to my game development dreams. If I forced myself into a relationship, it would end poorly. I am functioning okay, though. In fact, I am delighted with life right now. If that is the way my entire life is, just me and my goals, I would be very happy with that. I have friends I cherish, so I thought that would suffice. Some tell me, with that approach, you will be lonely when you are old with no kids to look after you. They say that because they worry for me, and it is at the back of my mind right now. I get jumpy (sometimes very, very jumpy XD) over cute anime girls like any other fan. But I have no thoughts about being in a relationship with them. It is not about 2D VS 3D for me at the moment. Right now, I have no thoughts about relationships at all. Often, I have no interest in going outside to conform to society's rules. I want to stay home and pursue my dreams in front of a monitor. That said, I have always wanted to understand those who truly wish to pursue romantic relationships with 2D characters. On another note, I have been curious about those who cosplay as characters of the opposite gender as well. Recently, I picked up this book called The Moe Manifesto. It includes interviews with folks belonging to both of the aforementioned groups. The exchanges gave me a new understanding about their situations. I have always condoned doing what means most to you. If your heart says that is your preference, it is all good in my books. Thanks for reading my ramble .

Think a lot of the VNs already suggested have winter themes to be honest... Swan Song is certainly one, *cough* Kanon *cough* counts, True Remembrance is set in winter (not sure if you can call it winter themed, but all the clothes etc match the setting.) Other than that... Cartagra seems to be wintery? The vndb tag is kinda rubbish for this though.

I've read all released volumes and it was very good. Unfortunately I have watched only 11 episodes. I think the episode 11 adapted the last part of volume 3. Rinslet best girl.

If you can read the summary of the story, it's clear that it's a nukige in disguise. In other words, I'm looking forward to it. -_-

yes

For romance I always suggest symphonic rain and Ef: a tale of the two.

VNs are amazing. I hope you appreciate them. Welcome aikaflip.

welcome to Fuwa! hope you enjoy your time around here!

Here's a few other threads that you should look at to help you decide what to play. https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/7166-romance-vn-recs/ https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/6851-good-tearjerking-vns/ I personally would suggest CLANNAD but beware of the crappy translation

Welcome to Fuwanovel, hope you enjoy VNs as much as we do
