Yup, we've past the goal. Now just need a few dozen (37 to be exact) people to hop on the Thunderclap and maybe we can hit some of the stretch goals. I can't thank the Fuwa community enough. You've all been super helpful and awesome! http://thndr.me/T7lwJD

Hi guys! New member here! I'm a big fan of Visual Novels. I have been playing them for around 5 years now. I enjoy almost all kinds of genres in them. I just don't like yaoi, trap and futanari. The rest are probably ok for me. My favorite kind of visual novels are netorare focused. I also really like when the netorare is avoidable in some routes, because I think that when I read the "nice/good/lovey-dovey" route first and then the netorare one, the feelings are stronger. But I'm also a fan of pure vanilla stuff.

Just for comparison, this is Getchu's sales ranking 2015. I've also added a list of the top twenty below. Only the entries which didn't appear already in the Getchu awards got an image and VNDB link for easier differentiation (and less work). Some interesting observations: I'm not sure what's more shocking, that Angel Beats didn't make it into the Getchu awards or that nobody even seemed to miss it. I think this is the first time that this happened to a major Key title, but it at least did sell well. Poor Key - beaten by Custom Maid 3D2. Eushully might not haven been happy about the ratings for Kami no Rhapsody but they certainly won't complain about the sales on third place. The same applies to Chrono Clock from Purple Software as well on fifth place. It also shows that a good writer isn't a guaranty for a good story. Both Looseboy's 'Boku no Hitori Sensou' and Ou Jacksons/Takahiro's Anekouji 'Naoko to Gin'iro no Shinigami' didn't get good ratings even if their titles sold well. That's why I love good artists - they always deliver. Edit: List fixed and several titles made it in from the Getchu winners like Sakura no Uta or... Custom Maid 3DR2. Other new titles are from Favorite, Feng and Ensemble. 1.) Sanoba Witch (Yuzusoft) 2.) Custom Maid 3D2 (KISS) 3.) Kami no Rhapsody (Eushully) 4.) Primal Hearts 2 (Marmalade) 5.) Chrono Clock (Purple Software) 6.) Angel Beats! (Key) 7.) Haru Kiss (Giga) 8.) Akai Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (Favorite) 9.) Sakura no Uta (Makura) 10.) Hatsuru Koto Naki Mirai Yori (Front Wing) 11.) Hanasaki Work Spring! (Saga Planets) 12.) Imouto no Seiiki (Feng) 13.) Tokeijikake no Ley Line -Asagiri ni Chiru Hana- (Unison Shift: Blossom) 14.) Soreyori no Prologue (Minori) 15.) Koi Suru Kimochi no Kasanekata (Ensemble) 16.) Pretty x Cation 2 (Hibiki Works) 17.) Anekouji Naoko to Gin'iro no Shinigami (Minator Carnival) 18.) Boku no Hitori Sensou (Akabei Soft2) 19.) Koko kara Natsu no Innocence! (Clochette) 20.) Amakano ~Second Season~ (Azarashi Soft)

"Everyone knew about my masturbation in the library?! Then the reason I was chosen for the Getchu Character Award-- No way... I was chosen because a bunch of people thought of me as the masturbating girl... this is terrible."

Well my last thread turned out to be a fruitless endeavour, but it was probably a really tough request to begin with so I'm not too surprised. This time though I hope some people will be able to help with my random urges. As the title says, I'm looking for a VN where at least one of the heroines is in a wheelchair. I'm not looking for any specific reason as to why they're in a wheelchair, they can even have lost their legs, I just want them to be in one. If they're not in a wheelchair for the majority of the story then it probably doesn't qualify (i.e if it's just a temporary injury) I don't want any gameplay heavy VNs (preferably no gameplay at all) Not really looking for a nukige either this time but an actual decent visual novel in terms of plot. Untranslated or not is fine. Currently on my plan to read list: Aaeru: The Visual Novel Imouto no Katachi Already read: Konosora Yes, I realize VNDB has a wheelchair tag, but because it's hard to know wheter a game is good or not from vndb, and also because sometimes the character tags aren't up to date (which is the case of Imouto no Katachi) I figured asking people would be more helpful. And if any of you played the above mentioned VNs, opinions on them are appreciated too. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

I can understand why people demand 18+ content in romance VNs and shit, and I understand why people are not happy with large amounts of content being removed from Aselia like the evil route, but to just straight up be like "I won't play an RPG unless it has porn in it" is kind of baffling to me. I mean, I guess at the end of the day, you do you, but man, I don't get it.

I have the Memorial Box. Just saying :3 I have this game too and it works. Just saying :3 I wouldn't say "no way of getting it". And I also didn't need a serial. Just saying :3

Yea, im talkin bout the Mosaics... Well, thats a bummer. w/e Thanks for responding~

Combined impression post on Fureraba and Pure x Connect. I played Fureraba a good while ago. The game is essentially plotless, but it has very good comedy, relationship progression and a proper ラブラブ mood with very gentle H-scenes. It also features a conversation system through which you earn points with your chosen heroine, but honestly I used a walkthrough for half of it. Well guess what, Pure x Connect, SMEE's next title, doesn't have half of that. Relationship progression? How about we just move it from zero interest to full bloom with sex right around the corner? Gentle H-scenes? Bah who cares about that, let's just do it like every other moege where the protag has his way with the heroine without a care in the world while going on about how much he treasures her. Compared to Fureraba's protagonist, he moved a long way into the "tough guy" corner, and with all his onahole talk he might as well be tagged as a protagonist with sexual experience. Oh and don't mind that he's a university student, because there's very few scenes there and most of the game is set at his workplace. For the reference, I only played two routes in Pure x Connect as I don't have the patience to bear with it any longer. /rant over TL;DR play Fureraba.

Well, someone is above Sekai Project, it's Regista who decide what to do and when to do, SP can just give them ideas, propositions and state their opinions. Regista have final say on everything... They decided to allow lower tiers, so they're now available.

If my waifu was real she wouldn't be my waifu. Dragging 2D characters to 3D is the worst one can do. Waifus should only exist in our imagination.

Getchu awards seem to be more of a popularity than quality contest; surprised to see 花咲ワークスプリング！ and 果つることなき未来ヨリ on the list even though they were getting pretty bad reviews, while the lack of Fairytale Requiem is a mortal sin against mankind as it was probably the second best game last year (after Sakura no Uta). Other entries seem to be fairly legit, although サノバウィッチ, ソーサリージョーカーズ, 見上げてごらん、夜空の星を seem oddly high compared to ランス03 リーザス陥落, シルヴァリオ ヴェンデッタ, and Maggot baits if you look at erogamescape. The only other games that I can think of as missing from those awards are ゾンビのあふれた世界で俺だけが襲われない, but they probably don't allow doujin games into the context to begin with, and Bansenjin (maybe they don't allow fan discs either?).

YES! YES! YES! HELL YES!

@CeruleanGamer, you just found a comrade. That said, please play Euphoria and do tell us if your preference of anything but futa, yaoi and trap is still the same. Welcome!

An easy way to look at commas is to think they link two independent clauses. This definition usually fits most common cases where you'd normally use a comma in. For conjunctions: He was about to kick the ball, but then he saw his teammate trip and break his face on the goal post. (Note you could technically remove the comma in these cases and just leave the conjunction, but in longer sentences commas are usually preferred, and whenever in doubt, you can always use a comma as that's never incorrect). For introductory elements: With his stiff rod, the man tried to fish some tunas For parenthetical elements: The boy, known on the internet as xXxPu$$ySlayer69xXx, got 360 no scoped in Call of Duty (They're called parenthetical because they could technically be written in parenthisis: The boy (known on the internet as xXxPu$$ySlayer69xXx) got no scoped in Call of Duty) For all the cases where you'd use a comma, this page is pretty useful.

1) Commas are used as a sort of pause in between words in a sentence and can be used when listing three or more things. If you only have two things in the list, you would use and instead of commas. If you have more than two things, it would sound strange if you kept putting the word and in between every one of them. Example 1: Three of my favorite visual novels are Grisaia no Kajitsu, Princess Evangile and Muv-Luv. Example 2: The translation was incorrect, so he went over it again to fix it. 2) Commas are used to separate adjectives in some situations and when the adjectives are interchangeable. One way to determine whether or not to use a comma in this situation is to put the word and in between them and if it still makes sense and sounds right, replace it with a comma because it also reduces the amount of words used since you can replace and with a comma in a lot of situations. Example 1: She is a smart, beautiful woman. Example 2: She is a beautiful, smart woman. Example 3: She is a smart and beautiful woman. (The word and could be used as a substitute here and still technically be correct but you can shorten the sentence by replacing it with a comma.) Those are the two main uses of commas but there are plenty of other situations where you can use them. Most of the time, you can tell just by reading the sentence out loud whether or not using a comma is appropriate. Sometimes commas are used even when they don't have to be and either way would be correct. If you are having trouble with commas, just think that they represent a pause in the sentence and serve to make it sound more appropriate. I've never taught anything before in my life so this is the best explanation I could give you, I hope it helps. One other way to get a grasp on commas are to pickup an English novel or read something online that has correct grammar and you can use them all as examples. EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to add this but one other important use of a comma is when starting and ending a letter. Note that normally the first sentence in the paragraph is indented but when I press tab it takes me out of the editing window, so lets just pretend it is indented. Example: Dear Fuwanovel, I love your website! Sincerely, Saggz

I voted on these 3: Walkure Romanze (I was torn between it and Pricess Lover!) Sore de mo Tsuma o Aishiteru (bring the NTR!) Boku no Kanojo wa Gatenkei ... (bring the NTR 2! - since elf is out for good now, I believe it's now probably impossible to license it, but I just had to put it on my list)

It's on a case-by-case scenario. If you are working 80+ hours a week and have to raise a family, it's gonna be extremely challenging to fit some time in there to learn a new language.

Ooooh, I'll add you~ Why exactly do they need to do this anyway?

A lot of promising games here I must say, some interesting ones (like my love child maggot baits) and some stuff that looks pretty..eh (sorry frontwing, stars and astronomy is overdone by now). Cant wait to play them all! Also stop pretending that learning japanese needs to like consume big parts of your life just because you wanna learn it. I just hear one excuse after another basically, do it on your own tempo and a way that suits you, you can even do it without spending a dime OR your precious college time. There is no excuse

The only great thing that's ever happened in Da Capo II is...

There's an Akane route... in the Plus Communication version. There are a crapton of routes in that version, actually, too bad there's no english version. MangaGamer's refusal to translate the bonus DC2 content has always disappointed me. The Koko's route is pure shit. Everyone involved acts like an idiot and the number of times they postpone their eventual confession of love is nearly record-breaking. So incredibly frustrating. Also, you mean "Minatsu," lol.

Finally got around to playing Da Capo II. I should have started ages ago!

It's a normal reaction to every thread about untranslated visual novels being turned into "I wish this got translated" "cmon guys we all know it's never gonna get translated" "life's so unfair".

Okay, 999's done It's a 7/10 game with decent scenario, characters, and escape room gameplay Then it becomes a 999/10 in the last couple hours True End with the revelations, seriously some of the best mindblow revelations I've read, very fun, still have a bit of difficulty wrapping my head around it all so I'm mass researching, if anyone feels like posting a quick sum sums for me feel free : P I found some cute images that kinda explain some of the mechanics, Dunno what Virtue's Last Reward will be about, but #HYPE ~~ The "village filler is boring but after that it gets good" people officially declare war against the "village filler is good and after that it gets boring" people!!!

STILL not done, but, Alright boys, finally got the mindscrew I wanted, 999 is masterpiece, read now pls

" Swallow girls and violate them while they struggle in your Stomach. Their screams can’t be heard from deep within your belly… " Wow, just... wow.

Um, Baldr Force is the precursor, which is why it's so weird to me people rather seem to want to start their series in the middle with Sky.

I agree, it looks really well

I thought it was just a feature.

It made it, hopefully though SP learns some lessons from this kickstarter, as much as I dislike Sekai Project, I will admit they handled their past campaigns much better, at the end I was seeing backers scrambling around desperate to get this game some press. That isn't something a backer should have to do.

Great! The Kickstarter finally made it. Even if I was confident, you never know... With over 40 hours to go, even some stretch goals might be reached. Very happy!

I shall find you a B-chested waifu to steal.

playing this awesome new vn called "japanese vocabulary" you should totally check it out

Kara no Shoujo 2. Lil' spoilers ahead. Apologize for my style, but I have this guy's voice in my head, so I'm much more shouting than I should. ;p Holy hell. That 'filler' at the begining, this 6 whole hours without protagonist, was one of my best experience I ever had with VNs. Pure 10/10. awesome cast, mood, story, music, art, everything. And then back to Reji. Okay, it started, characters, case, investigation, okay, neat for now... and after an hour everything suddenly drops so hard, that it's painfull. Suddenly no mood, no tension, no story, much slower pace... There even was an entire scenes devoted only to tell how big Yukiko boobs are, and how Yukari is cooking dinner. Like I care that she peel the carrots and fried the onins. And I could endure all of that if cast would be as good as in Kara 1 (not to mention the awesome cast in that 'filler'). But no. I'm at the beginning of 'main' story and new characters are annoying. I'm really afraid for the rest of the game. Kohane is just as much 'Tojiko2' as you could get, but this time it's not working. She's more obnoxious, and more dumb than great Tojiko (whom I surprisingly for myself liked really, really much). Not working. And girl in the cover. Oh my god... Angsty teenager, who burst into 'awkwardness' in almost every situation. I'm reading rather fast and not wait for a voice acting to say full lines. And all I can hear from her are: 'ekh', 'akh', 'agm' 'um' 'ano' 'eto' 'y', etc! She starts every sentence with this. Speak up girl, I want to hear you! She's shy, nonvisible, calm, and seems to be shallow (as a character, not as a person). Not intriguing, I'm not interested in her at all. And what Kyoko is saying to Reji about her?! "She's kinda like her." Well, NOT AT ALL. Toko was a great, intruguing, lively, but melancholic, sociable, but closed, active and smart character. Yukiko has nowthing of her. Nothing! Fortunatelly Reji said she is not as Toko at all. Ugh. Give me back my Yu Futami, my favourite character in Cartagra No Shoujo series so far (besides Toko and Stella). EDIT: I know some of those 'sounds' like 'Ano', or 'Eto' are actually words, but starting every sentence with "... ano... ... ...somethinsomething" is painfull to listen.

Blame Nosebleed.

Congrats 44 hours left to reach the stretch goal now.

I'm waiting for the kickstarter to reach the base goal with a botte o fine wine (barbaresco) ready to be opened.

I know the feeling man...unfortunately

I didnt say not to vote for top 50 VNs. What I am pushing for is following your heart and not other people's opinions. Because people are easily persuaded/dissuaded because they are confused about what they really want and just follow the "majority".

there is nothing wrong with it, its most likely gonna be enjoyable at least when so many people think that its good, games doesnt get hyped for nothing, but a wise man once said to me. "Find your own kamige"

Would be hard. It's not something that I have yet "digested" well enough that I can feel confident expressing in words why I feel about it the way I do. I could cite a number of "generic" qualities: it's often hilarious, has an emotionally compelling overarching plot, cool characters, some very impactful scenes, sca-ji's characteristic erudition that he delivers in a simple and pleasant way. All the same it'd be easy to point out flaws: some annoying cliche sexist scenes, some scenes dragging on, Rin's and Makoto's route not being that great, etc... But in the end I think what really makes this game special is the way it talks about Art. It's all about exposing various visions of art, often incarnated by various characters and the way they develop(ed). It's about the relationship between art and reality, perception, sublime, banal, original, mimesis and anti-mimesis. And it's also about finding happiness, in a way. If I felt like I grasped all of that in a more clear way I'd have written a review or a blog post about it but that'll probably only come in a long time.

Got out of bed today, got changed, walked across campus that was covered in several feet of snow, got to the building of my first class, realized the building was locked, than realized there wasn't anyone around me, than realized school was cancelled for today. Now, I am forced to confront a terrible dilemma. Do I do the responsible thing and spend the day sending out job applications, since I recently realized I fucked up on planning my budget for the year and will not be able to pay off my living expenses for this entire semester or do I catch up on anime and visual novels? Wait today is my B-day? Well than fuck it, I'm not quite adult enough to spend my B-day sending out job applications.

*sigh* when do people quit looking at rankings, popular opinions & whatthefuck else superficially reason there is to hinder them from wishing for something to be licensed/ published they truly desire reading out of their own volution and not just because community-elder A said its been an awesome experience to him, but for something to appeal to ones own character/ personality/ interest. did we really become that hollow, always hating on anything mainstreamity-like, despite beeing tainted to our very core by cattle mentality? :/ edit: yeah liar/rail soft is crap, anything thats non top50 is crap. lets burn their offices to the ground and proclaim those titles of theirs, which failed appealing to everybody, shalt be threated as entartete kunst and therefore buried in the deepest part of a dungeon, forbidden from ever beeing mentioned again, so whats known as an intellectually superior race of readers will be free of living in angst of those crappy excuses for entertainment getting possibly published. ail hail literary genocide - sieg heil gestapo of arts! edit2: suggested 3 gorgeous doujinshi to them, including a fucking huge shitton of reasons for them doing so. now hate me - try kill me - i make sure fapping to the anger, or outright disgust of yours XD

Ahh, this is the part where you dismiss games with really vague and misleading generalizations just like in the tournament thread. Okay, I think we're done here, you don't want to argue in good faith. lmao at calling himawari a lolige.

Filling cups forever. Well, working as a scullery maid can be mind-numbingly tedious I suppose. To make it more bearable, what you should do is develop mental exercises to while aw- ... Ohhh, you’re talking about something different ... Carry on, then.

Because boobs. Duh.
