So I just came back home after retaking my English exam in Highschool to re-apply for college, and lo and behold, the exam's theme was internet freedom and censorship. I really feel these almost 2 years on Fuwanovel filled with loli threads, "take down da torrentz" threads and "stop censoring my opinion you spawn of Satan" threads really provided me with an insane amount of insight and I truly believe I have just done the most amazing written composition in any English test I've ever made and managed to answer all the questions about why the internet should be a free place. It was an amazing pleasure to be able to convey all the salt into an actual written exam. So thank you, Fuwanovel, for constantly debating these ultra important issues, so much so that even Portugal's National English Exam ended up being all about it. Without you, I would not have been able to write a 220 word composition about "muh freedomz on the internet". PS: I did end up writing on how lolis shouldn't be censored, but unfortunately that part went over the word limit, but it will forever be remembered in my heart.

Edit: This is not a new idea per se, but rather an extension for condensing all of the current material on the site into a nice little quick read for Fuwa users on the go. A lot of people log in, check what they need to, and log off. This will hopefully allow those people to do the same thing, but open their eyes to a little more content around the site so they don't have to click additional links and browse all over the place. In addition, fun games and puzzles can be included too! This is a suggestion. It might be a bad suggestion, but it is a suggestion. I love working on Photoshop, but more so, I love working on InDesign projects. I used to be a part of my school newspaper team back in high school, and some of the greatest moments were creating layout designs for our monthly issues. I really want to do this for Fuwanovel as well. I got this idea when I was creating the magazine layout for the musical band creation activity, and I thought why not do this for the actual site itself? So here is my idea. I wanted to (be it alone or with other people) release a monthly Fuwanovel magazine that features all of the content from the previous month. The content in the spread can (but doesn't need to) include: Blog entry columns highlighting members and the work they post Fuwazette, Fuwareview, and translation status updates New VN releases and other pertinent information A new member's spread. Check who registered for the site and posted an introduction in the last month Creative interviews for contributing members of the site. Essentially, an extension of the community podcast episodes I host with people, but in written form for those who don't like speaking in person A recap of threads members should check out from the site Again, these are just some ideas we can post in the monthly magazine issue. As stated, each issue would be released every month. Since most of the content in the issue is already written, it would just be a matter of pasting articles inside and making a cool layout design. Not every single thing needs to be featured in every issue, but even a small 3-4 page spread would be a nice recap for new and existing members. Essentially, this can reduce the clutter of recent threads on the sidebar (if this is of interest to anyone) and gives everyone a chance to contribute should they feel like it. That being said, I want to know if this is something people would enjoy seeing. It would be a quick read each month and allows people on the go and lurkers of the site to get instant recaps of what is going on around the site. So, what I would like is feedback. If feedback is generally positive, I would like to get the ball rolling on this for August if possible, meaning that I will post a separate thread allowing people to pitch font and image ideas for the spread (mainly an awesome cover for the magazine). Members like Emi and Beato would be great additions to this magazine (sorry for singling you out guys) because of their awesome work they are doing for the front site. This has a lot of potential for members who don't get a lot of time to check out all the areas of Fuwanovel. Instead of looking all over the forums for new material, everything listed above can be posted in an easy to find location. Anyways, let me know!

Moderators throughout the ages Disclaimer: if this text is written like shit, it's definitely on purpose. Really. Not because I can't be arsed to make correct sentences. I shall not speak of the generation of moderators that existed before mine, as I only know about it through a few recitals. However, names such as meru, zhurai or harry_kinomoto may evoke something to some of you. The latter is known in the ancient tales as "Tay's archnemesis", and it is said their debates were the kind that moved powers and forces beyond our comprehension. Beato is, with Tay, the last of those staff members who lived in that era. In any case. As the little fuwanovel community was growing, and some of the aforementioned moderators had to leave, a need arose for new, fresh recruits. Two of the admins of the then ruling Aaeru/Tay/Ryoji triumvirat set upon finding the chosen ones. Thus on the 30th of March 2013 I'm old halp a whole four members entered the staff. Steve is said to have been chosen because upon seeing the gigantic walls of text he wrote and the passion he displayed in them, Tay and Ryoji thought he must be a man of great wisdom. Luch is said to have been chosen because upon seeing that he seldom spoke any words, Tay and Ryoji thought he must be a man of great wisdom. Down is said to have been chosen because he helped some dude to install Tsukihime and somebody was needed to take care of the Tech Support section. My personal theory, though, is that Tay and Ryoji saw in him a man of great wisdom. Solidbatman is said to have been chosen... eh... nobody really knows. He doesn't seem to know either. Did you know that batman was actually an admin for some time? I think he only reluctantly accepted the position, and he only lasted a month or two. It must have been not too long after his becoming a moderator. A few months later, our ranks were increased by Kendjin. It is said that Tay thought teaming up Kiritsugu and Archer together would definitely win the Holy Grail War, and that using it we would finally make visual novels popular in the West. I think he should re-read Heaven's Feel, he must have been too busy caring about Sakura and overlooked a few details about how the Grail works. Things didn't move much until November 2013, when once again the community had become larger and the moderators had become fewer. Nosebleed is said to have been chosen because upon seeing how many posts he had accumulated in such a short time, he thought making him a mod would prevent him from being a spammer. I guess even the archmage's sagacity sometimes fails him. Kaguya is said to have been chose because upon seeing how many visual novels he had played, Tay thought that person must have reached enlightenment through playing porn games, a method described in a sacred manuscript called SuhaBibi (that sounds really buddhist, doesn't it?) After that, some moderators quited or faded away, the event of Steve's access to adminship took place as mentioned in an earlier post, but until the advent of the board mods & global mods era, no new members joined the team. This is where History with a big H stops and where history with a small h begins.

I see a lot of the regular members of Fuwanovel that play PC games are in the stream group. The thing I do not see though, is any activity. People can post a reply up on the forums asking for people to play, but nothing ever goes on here. With visual novels becoming more of a thing on Steam I would like to see the Fuwanovel Steam Group become more active. By that I do not mean we up and leave the forums and start posting everything video game related here, rather do more events, maybe become a curator, and spread the love of Fuwanovel on Steam. We already have Fuwa reviews and what not on the main site, but I am going to assume the majority of people on Steam do not know what visual novels are. While if someone sees say Grisaia on Steam and clicks it, it could be their first introduction to visual novels. They either want to learn more, but don't know where to look, maybe get the wrong information and some biased answers, or just skip it completely. Some one transferring the reviews from Fuwa and making them accessible on Steam for people to see seems like a good idea to me. There may be other groups already doing that, as I am sure there are, but they aren't Fuwanovel! The next point I would like to address is Fuwanovel Steam Group events. A lot of us seem to play a majority of single player games and while there is already a Fuwa Game Club every month on the forums nothing goes on within the group. With some members of the community playing multiplayer games I think events could be a fun way to bring the community closer together, or farther apart if you are that competitive of a player. The kind of events could range from CS: GO customs with silly rules, Left 4 Dead 2 versus, Fighting Games, Civ V get togethers, anything really. Another thing I didn't bring up in the first paragraph is trading. Now there are a lot of trading groups on Steam and some of you may already be members of some. I intend to level my profile mainly through badges, but as you may know that can cost a lot if you don't have people to trade with. Maybe the Fuwanovel Steam Group could also be a hub for Fuwans to trade their goods to and fro, or maybe even showcase mods, skins, etc.? What do you guys think? Even though this is a Fuwanovel group and the availability of the website is more convenient, I still think showing some love on Steam wouldn't be a bad thing. I was about to go to bed and I checked my Steam profile and saw a lonely Fuwanovel group and came up with some on the spot ideas. I would imagine it needs more thought, and feedback, so I did a post here and on the Steam group. Good night, morning, or afternoon Fuwa goers

Happy Father's Day

What the topic says. Curious if we'd get people interested in contributing that way, and in an easier fashion. First thing to put up would be the New'n'Shiny™ VNDB Client, written in PHP. Massively over-abstracted, blown up and... actually quite neat. Still giving it the finishing touches, but still. So?

Ehm moving on with this conversation that isn't suited to this thread at all, actually grisaia's common route is good since it has comedy, top notch slice of life comedy I am telling you, that's the best thing I laugh, and that's probably the reason why I finished the common route in two days during the exams, it's not long at all. Confession: I couldn't last after 5 days and fapped today , and there goes my no fap month : 3

Let's be honest. That's just how we roll.

Because at this time not even their stupid database converter is working properly.

Actually managed to find the correct image URLs These were in the code but for some reason web archive grabbed some random images First image: http://i.imgur.com/oLrjBzm.jpg The other one: http://i.imgur.com/6a6Hmvg.jpg So yeah Zaka, get to making a new post

Y'know, a lot of other forums I've been to leave the possibility for users to delete their own posts. I do think the level of maturity of fuwans is lower though Teeku

Our game's demo is now live! Please check it out! Do note that the Android version is experimental and might be a little buggy.

Princess. Evangile. If you want animated H-scenes, give Neko Para vol. 1 a whirl. Though it may make reading older, static sprite VNs impossible for you afterwards

Confession: In kindergarten, I liked my friend so much.. the best way I was able to express it was to kiss her on the cheek . I think it surprised her, lol. To this day, I still wonder what she thought about it or if she even remembers. xD

And sometimes, I'll even know you're an asshole.

Well I google image searched for it too and got hits, so you may have filters preventing you from seeing adult-related images and websites. Anyway, here's your answer. Source I can't even begin to understand how you could believe that, and I'm not going to check.

I’d like to point out how amusing and realistic it is, that the thread reminiscing over Fuwa’s past even manages to capture the feeling of drama and angst which has always been a part of Fuwa’s make-up. It makes the sense of nostalgia all the stronger You can't talk about Fuwa's tribulations without speaking about how Fuwa alienated almost the entire Visual Novel community. I wonder where that fits on the timeline XD

^B-b-b-but Kiririri started it!@#

That you failed at both succeeding and trying to fail.

One should not provoke the powerful Nay without confirming he has not been out drinking first. And even then it's still dangerous. For all of us.

... So what you're saying is that we should delete all backups and run auto-update without a preliminary test, right? Because that's what I'm hearing. *prepares to click The Red Button*

Was playing HuniePop during the sex scene with full audio. Dad walks downstairs to grab a drink and starts watching me. Explained that I was having sex while playing Bejeweled. Proceeded to say that he would dominate the game and brag about his Candy Crush scores and the fact that he has beaten every single level to date on both the PC and mobile versions. Sadly, I lost interest in HuniePop for the rest of the day. Another time, I was hanging up a poster of a topless girl that was somewhat lewd in my room. Mom came downstairs and looked at me hanging posters on the wall. Only words to come out of her mouth? "Nice tits." She then asked me if I wanted some food for dinner. I miss my parents. :/

Definitelly Kiriririri as crush <3

If it serves for anything, I wanted to write a composition of around 400-500 words minimum, yet they oppressed me with the limits. I didn't deserve this treatment, Fuwans please ban the portuguese education system.

Princess Evangile is probably the one I would choose first for romance.Definitely the most romantic out of the ones i've mentioned in my opinion . Majikoi is mainly comedy and then romance. Same thing with My Girlfriend is the President, comedy first. The romance is still strong though for the whole list As for the Majikoi anime I've only watched a few episodes but I can tell you that the VN is definitely better than the anime to convey the full story as the anime only focuses on one character route IIRC. There is softcore hentai in the anime though if you're interested in that lol but nothing like the VN.

I'm looking forward to the day where you'll regret making us choose the show you'll watch for you.

I see , you are totally right. I shall do that if anyone brings up such a topic anywhere again ^^

Damn you palas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO7YAwOjYxg

Katawa Shoujo.

You all need to be forced outside of your comfort zones, or force yourselves. Nothing will change by continuing the status quo. I was lucky, I had to go do military service due to this shitty country, there i had to adapt and talk to people or else I would have had really long and hard year. Afterwards I have had a much easier time talking to people I don't know and socializing as a whole doesn't feel as terrible as it used to.

Board Mods. The 1st generation was born in October of '14 and consisted of 15 Elite Soldiers (Board Moderators) tasked with guarding their designated boards with all of their might under the leadership of the 4 Heroes of Fuwanovel (Global Moderators). In addition, they were also to work together to collaboratively brainstorm ideas to improve the forums. Then came The Darkness: a horribly destructive, amoral force whose sole purpose is to destroy the 'needless' and the 'pointless'. Many Board Moderators perished as a result of that terrible war. By the time Archmage Tay and his Global Moderators were able to combat and finally seal away The Darkness in April of '15, only 6 Board Moderators survived in the end to continue the fight for truth and justice in the world of Fuwanovel. *The most powerful Board Moderator of them all was Tiagofvarela. During a pivotal moment in the battle against The Darkness, Tiago had ascended into a Global Moderator-hood, though by the end of the war even he was overwhelmed, stripped of his powers, and perished. **Tiago was later revived by Archmage Tay as a Think Tank Ranger.

You're considered German for census reasons now. Yay more Germans!

Well I read the Noah (console) version, that has an ending for each heroine along with the A/AA/B endings present in the PC version. I wrote up summaries for all of them if you missed it, check them out if you're interested.

I look for stuff to hate, then I post hating on it. Then I move on to shitposting.

Oh, this could potentially be amazing. Just surprised this got announced so soon, how about that other joint project? Trian Thology, was it? Same here, I really hope Ryukishi isn't drawing this time around. At least the site suggest that he isn't, so, yay for that!

Absolutely, especially at that price.

only other game im looking forward to is no mans sky

This... This is way too accurate... This kind of became trademark of fate stay night huh? Which reminds me that fate animes are one of worst offenders of this issue.

E3 had interesting moments? I mostly try not to watch it because it's such a god awful awkward show and I'd just rather know what annoucements they made in a well written summary rather than sit through poor presentations with guys in suits that don't really know how to act. I also agree FF7 is likely going to suck. People don't realize FF7 was only revolutionary at its time, it is no longer now and FF7 Remake is just feeding on nostalgia to survive. It likely will never capture the same feelings the original did and I can already see a lot of people getting disappointed.

Getting to see Persona 5...... oh wait, I was dreaming that. Most of the stuff revealed at E3 that I was interested in will happen in the distant future. E3 remains dead to me (TOTALLY NOT BITTER ABOUT NO PERSONA 5 SHOWING)

Question 2 is missing a "conspiring" option.

Nosebleed,sorry,but if you say that her route not realistic you may lived a pretty decent school life)I just can say,that in my old class there's similiar situation with one of the girls,and i have seeing forward in aeka route with anticipation-did the things really got turned out like i foreseen in reality?Or guys who make this game is still air-headed and just try to make some money out of theme of bulliyng.Maybe thats why this route left a strong emotions in me,just for reference-game is turned out EXACTLY like reality,with some details attached or miising.Of course,you can simply not believe any of my words,well,its dosnt chage the fact that only Aeka route have any impact for me.\ P.S.WTF,Its really hard hard to believe as I readed my message,but what can I say about this?*AEKA ROUTE SPOILERS AHEAD*

Thats a nice shizuru signature you have there.

Quite the opposite in fact, USA's marriage situation is better than Portugal's right now. Some "fun" stats for you: In 2013, Portugal had a 70% divorce rate. Rates of divorce in Portugal have been steadily rising over the years without ever dropping (save for 2011-2012 where it was 73% but a 3% drop is minimal) To put it in perspective, in 1960 the divorce rate in Portugal was about 1%. This is mostly attributed to financial difficulties because of Portugal's economical crisis. Birth rates are steadily dropping (to the point where the optimal 2.1 children per female is not happening, thus resulting in an increasingly aging population) because couples simply can't afford to have a child and most marriages also end due to financial struggle. My parents have contemplated divorce before due to finances but they managed to pull through, mostly for the sake of my sister who was 6 at the time. Overall couples in portugal just are not interested in getting married because of the expenses associated with it and/or they immigrate to other countries where the financial security is better. Gay marriage is also legal here so these stats factor in literally everybody. Also, despite 95% of the Portuguese population identifying themselves as catholic, only a tiny fraction is actively practicing the religion and as I mentioned before, as of now, money is the biggest factor in divorce rather than belief.
