Thank you very much, people! It really feels nice. Oh, don't worry, being an "adult" is overrated anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And late happy birthday to @Zalor! We have it on the same day, huh?

Yep, that's Japan alright. A man wears a phallus-shaped hat during Kanamara Matsuri (Festival of the Steel Phallus) on April 1, 2018 in Kawasaki, Japan. The Kanamara Festival is held annually on the first Sunday of April. The penis is the central theme of the festival, focused at the local penis-venerating shrine which was once frequented by prostitutes who came to pray for business prosperity and protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Today the festival has become a popular tourist attraction and is used to raise money for HIV awareness and research.

Not much attention on this title. this came out of nowhere for me as it was getting a fan tl like years and years ago but after not receiving a word for years on its progress, i assume it died, as did my hopes and dreams... again. so imagine my surprise when i see it being released on denpasoft! not bad price either, 10 bucks. and it was 60% off thanks to their points system. This message is brought to you by Denpasoft. Get all your ecchi needs at denpasoft.com. sign up today and get 100 free points to use on your first purchase. so, despite me being a cheap shit, i bought it. so far its pretty nice. especially the yuri scenes. yes, its a yuri vn, a fairly nice one at that. the story keeps developing as it goes so i wont really discuss what its about right now. The story is quite fast paced. a scene doesnt linger for too long before moving on. luckily it doesnt feel rushed so no worries there. give it a try, you might like. https://vndb.org/v6341

Hello again. Today, I have the second week of progress updates. Not as much progress as last week unfortunately, but Ittaku was pretty busy and any progress is good progress in the end. Translation: Prologue - 36% (636/1791) TLC Prologue - 27% (486/1791) Again, we are still looking for a dedicated TLC as the other translator is only doing it for the prologue. If you think you are capable enough, please PM me. That's all for this week. I'll see you next week with some more progress.

(Whelp...here goes nothing. This is a game set in JP, but I have a good reason for this, I swear to God!) PS: I LOVE YOU (R18) VNDB Website Demo Team: Eunsun Shin, Toxicmilkk (colorist), Lizm (colorist), Red L. Jameson (editor) I’ve never thought about falling in love. I’m not even sure know what that means. My parents divorced when I was seven, but even before then, for as long as I could remember, their marriage was in tatters, both of them desperately hanging on to something they secretly knew was over. ------- College junior Kei Asakawa doesn’t believe in love. After a childhood spent watching her parents tear each other apart, she wants nothing to do with affairs of the heart. But one special day, she meets three men who could change her outlook on life—and love—forever. PS: I Love You is a dating sim and visual novel in the otome “maiden” game genre, featuring over 100,000 words of original story, stunning illustrations, and three swoon-worthy men to choose from: - Naoki Takayama, the happy-go-lucky baseball star who’s been best friends with Kei since childhood - Haruhito Satou, the cold, efficient businessman hiding a heart of gold and an impoverished past - Shinichi Kougure, Kei’s playboy cafe-owner boss with walls of ice around his heart and a boy band history he’ll be forced to revisit Can Kei win over any of the men who’ve caught her eye, and if so, which one? The road to love won’t be easy, between career-ending injuries, long distance relationships, endless paparazzi, and secret meet-ups, but you’ll decide what path Kei takes. ~70,000 - 100,000k word count (including common routes) Multiple Good Ends (Lukewarm ends, no rapey bad ends) Original OP song composed by nostraightanswer and recorded by rubysakura Naoki's route is free to play, Haruhito/Shinichi is an additional $5 each The game, as of 4.6.2018, is about 25% complete. I've been focusing a great deal of my time working on the art (god, there's so much art) and unfortunately, the script's kind of fallen by the wayside. The synopsis/plotlines are all, er, plotted, so it's just a matter of writing the damn thing. I'm a fast writer, though, so I anticipate being able to complete AT LEAST Naoki's route by the end of this month, which is when I'll send it off to my beta testers. But I'm hoping to have a demo of PS: I<3 U available to play by the end of next week. The script is finished; it's about 15k and the demo will end when you get to the choosing scene. I think a May 30th release is wholly possible. Once the assets are complete, it's a matter of finishing the script, sending it off to the editor, and then programming it. (actually, now that I think about it, May 30 is not that far off, OTL) Once I release the demo on itchio, I'll post up a short questionaire for you folks to fill out, if you would be so kind. No questionaire. Just tell me your thoughts

So I recently stumbled upon what I considered to be a really good MAD about a VN I was reading and that got me thinking about what sort of other good or favourite AMV or MAD(s) people have found. As a side note I did look if there had been any other topic on this but could not find one so...

If you do, can you write a blog entry/tell those who didn't play it before (like me) about it after you have finished? I'm pretty sure a lot of people whom never played it before are curious about it as it seems to have legendary status around here..

Happy birthday, Dreamysyu! Best wishes to ya, pal!

Happy Birthday @Dreamysyu and @Zalor!

Late to the party here. Anyway, happy birthday to both of @Dreamysyu (25th) and @Zalor (21st). Hope both of you will have a good year ahead.

"Role: Ghost Engages in: Lesbian sex" Well, I guess its not the first time I see that, but that only makes it slightly less weird... I've seen this game before, as even my yuri backlog is huge right now it's not something I feel like grabbing ASAP, but definitely will get to it at some point. There's never too many lesbian ghosts to read about.

And I feel like an old man every time I learn someone's age around here, want to switch? Happy Birthday @Dreamysyu! Edit: And Happy Birthday to our youngster elitist @Zalor (not sure how I've missed it earlier)!

Happy 25th birthday, @Dreamysyu! Damn, I feel like a child now

Thank you very much!

Happy birthday, @Dreamysyu!! Hope you stay with us for one more year!

Happy birthday to @Dreamysyu, as social norms dictate I must say.

y'all just pick a nukige

The original show's strength lies in the fact, the main heroine is just a traveller, in both senses of that word. She's mostly a silent watcher, a passerby; she rarely gets involved with things that happen around her - not because she does not want to, but because she respects this peculiar philosophy of living for everything that happens, happens for a reason. That aside, "she's just a traveller" and travellers shouldn't get involved with things, especially if they are visitors. This is exactly what makes Kino's Journey so special. To be honest, I'm a sucker for such shows and characters. They are oftentimes a lot better than story-centered works, because they give more space and freedom for commentary and personal thoughts, rather than forcing to cope with creator's original concepts on a very basic level. At the same time, such exposition gives more room for a wider audience. It's something a lot more people can watch, enjoy and understand without sacrificing or losing it's depth.

Fist up your ass

It's too early for Steamspy stats to be of any use, in two-three months they might indicate something. I would interpret that 0:00 as "no data available".

ok.. it says here that. 1. you can pick what outfit/hairstyle when you enter separate routes. 2. if you pick the same girl over and over again it's still possible to enter her route even if you make mistakes on the choices. 3. if you can already confess to the girl you chose and yet you still haven't confessed to her you, you will land on a bad end once you meet 6/24 4. there's a jealousy event if you have a girl with lvl 4 affection and another girl with lvl 3 affection. (there's no cg so it's up to you whether you want to trigger that event or not. 5. if you press F12 you can make the girls naked. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (it doesn't work on CG btw) i left out some parts we already know. like once you get enough affection an event will trigger and the affection lvl will rise. and the topic choices will change once the lvl rises. and once you see all 4 events you can chose whether to confess or not.

Gotta be Key.

Mangagamer's Acta Est Fabula has all 4 routes, I think that's all the extra content but maybe not

I've started watching Flip Flappers and everything about that show is entrancing in a way... This includes music:

Clannad Kyou I feel was the best tsundere I have read. Some tsunderes feel way over the top but to me Kyou felt like just the perfect amount of both personalities.

I have been featured in a fighting game, bring it on!

Building on top of Zalor's post, I can give a quick and dirty version of my time here. Granted, I don't remember dates all that much. I joined early on in Fuwanovel's history because i needed help fixing sound in Never7. I never fixed it. I think early on, I didn't care about Aaeru hosting pre-patched torrents because for me, it was easily the best way to get a VN. I didn't trust purchasing through Mangagamer or Jast USA and this was well before steam VNs, aside from random ones like Analogue: A Hate Story, were a thing. Anyway, I read Ever17 and loved it a lot so I began to pick up other VNs and take part in more discussions on the forums. I never delved heavily into VNs though and mostly stuck to anime and gaming discussions. Early on, though, I remember clashing with sanahtlig. I don't know what the hell I was fighting with him over but thats hardly unique to me. Someone then made, likely tay or ryoji, a terrible mistake and promoted me to a moderator with some others, like Down and Steve. At once, I got into a big fight with aaeru over hosting licensed content. I don't recall what the it was though, possibly Steins;Gate? Or something related to it This went directly against a rule that had been set up, that Fuwanovel would not host licensed games. Anyway, I was kind of a dickwaffle and wasn't very nice. The staff ended up splitting into two camps over the issue. I do recall Ryoji and myself were on one side with Aaeru and Steve on the other. Then Tay stepped in like the mighty God he is, and somehow solved the situation. I think we ended up making it a rule that no licensed content would be hosted by Fuwanovel, that it was to be strictly fan TLs. This would come back to haunt the site when Clannad and Grisaia got licensed. Things chugged along for a bit, and I was quite active in doing nothing really. I do recall a spam war where suddenly everyone began posting AMA threads over and over. Your boi zakamutt was part of this if memory serves. By this point, aaeru's activity had begun falling off so Tay and Ryoji were left to deal with this situation. Ryoji favored the nuclear option of banning those involved. Tay wasn't too terribly eager to do so. I vaguely recall diving into the irc channel with him and talking the situation out. This marked the beginnings of the Coliseum of Chatter. Originally I think it was a single thread, and then a subforum, before it got split off into its own thing. Once again, Tay had achieved a middle ground. I think maybe one temp ban was handed out during all of this? Ryoji left the site, I don't remember the date but I remember it happening pretty vividly. Wasn't great. To try and bridge the gap, I volunteered to take the spot, never intending to actually keep it for a long amount of time. I admit, it was nice to finally be a higher rank than Steve, who was my nemesis on the site. I really didn't do much different than what I had been doing as a mod. I didn't feel it was my place to make any structural changes to the website so I tried to avoid doing anything major like that. The only thing I remember doing as an admin was spending 3 hours talking to steve in his cursed teamspeak channel to convince him that posting pictures of naked lolis wasn't great, and even posting p. risque ones could get people in trouble. Finally, after much talking, I finally convinced him to put them in spoiler tags and not post naked lolis. As the compromise, I went in and placed many of his pictures in spoiler tags to save him the effort. It was a dark, loli filled day for me, one I never want to repeat. Then the website blew up, thanks to aaeru pirating the software for the site. It was down for quite some time, nayleen stepped in and helped Tay get things back up. aaeru was long gone by this point, which complicated matters quite a bit. Regardless, Nay and Tay got things back up and running. I stepped down from the staff since I felt rather out of place, not knowing how to really help anymore. My activity declined somewhat around this time too, until Tay had a situation arise and had to leave for a while. As a result, Cybersteel took over the show and Steve was promoted to admin. Yeah... that was something. He asked me to come back as a moderator, thus beginning the meme of solidbatman joining and quitting the staff daily. I don't remember when it was exactly, that Clannad and Grisaia got licensed. Tay may have still been hanging around at this time? There was a huge debate over whether or not Fuwanovel should continue hosting those two VNs. I argued that they ought to be taken down as they were no longer fanTLs and a legitimate way of purchasing them was now available. Steve, and many others argued that because the official releases had a different translation, they technically were not the same and should be left up. The second part of their argument dealt with purchasing them from other countries (which as steam releases made little sense to me but not much about the VN community and culture does). They ended up being removed which marked the beginning of the end of hosting torrents of fanTLs on the website. Back to Steve's adminship. I ended up leaving the staff again shortly after when I realized I was only placed on the staff for optics. Steve, if memory serves which it may not as I am biased, really didn't listen to anyone and did whatever he really wanted to do. Admirable maybe, but I was not really in the mood to work under that knowing nothing I said or did would matter. In true Steve fashion, he argued with me for a couple hours trying to get me to stay on. Didn't work. Then Tay showed back up. What he managed to do still amazes me. He took down the torrents and kept Fuwanovel alive. I honestly have no idea how he managed to do this. Some members did leave over this and begin their own new fuwanovel thingy that does the same thing the old fuwanovel did. But the core of this site stayed intact. VNTS was revived by Zakamutt and Tay, and later Decay, who brought it into their current format. With the removal of torrents, Fuwanovel gained some legitimacy within the commercial VN industry. I've no doubt some fan translators still hate fuwanovel for hosting the pre-patched torrents but companies were willing to interact with Fuwanovel after the removal. FuwaReviews became a thing, and to be honest, thats all I cared about once we got it going. Ryechu did good work building some contacts within the industry to gain reviewers some review copies. I got into a twitter tiff with the Lupiesoft guy because I gave his shitty VN a low score after he gave us a review copy (the god damn game barely ran). I wrote the infamous Little Busters! review. The reaction was amazing. Doing FuwaReviews stuff was some of the most fun I think I had on this website. Regardless, with FuwaReviews, my interest in other parts of the site died off, and I no longer followed the happenings closely as they didn't concern me. Then I left all together for about 2 years before coming back in the past week due to boredom. So there is my 150% self-centered history of Fuwanovel. I admit its self-centered because all I really can remember is stuff I was involved with. Like I said before, I typically stayed out of VN discussions unless it was in regards to their distribution. Relevent comment from nay the bae about Steve:

I told this story once in a similar thread, but it is always good to remember when I was reading Cross Channel and felt asleep during the first girl's sex scene, just to wake up with my family walking around my room.

For me it would have to be the time I was looking through Maggot Baits CGs at school, in what I thought was an empty classroom. The students behind me didn't say anything, but I think they were scarred for life.

My three-year old nephew stole my keys and broke into my room while I was in the middle of an h-scene.
