I don't like what they did to VNDB at all, they made it more complicated than it needed to be, it was perfectly fine before this unnecessary change.

Trust Zakamutt over me. I have no trust in my memory of the particular scene or even others. (Zakamutt, you preferred to write 'previous poster' rather than alter the name. Astonishing.)

Protagonist customization was common in the early parts of the 2000's but went out of fashion for obvious reasons... Innovation was pretty much nonexistent in JVNs in the last decade, though some companies did venture a little out into the wilderness with art or weird gimmicks. That's no surprise, though... It would be strange if the Japanese innovated in anything when it comes to VNs, since most 'innovations' in JVNs tend to create fan backlash. The only thing that can really be construed as an innovation in JVNs was the inclusion of more evolutions of the e-mote system, though the system itself is more annoying/distracting than anything else. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to be short... but protagonist customization primarily got dropped because of how counterproductive it was in most cases to getting engrossed in the story-game. The only real remnant left from that is the generic harem protagonist who is so endemic to charage in general. Similar to the 'silent protagonist' in jrpgs, most fans of the medium look on excessive self-insert elements as a negative factor when deciding to buy a game in Japan.

BTW, while this new system is extremely inconvenient as it is now, it made me realize how huge my backlog already is thanks to the counters next to the labels. It turns out that I have 92 unread VNs (that means games that I already have on my PC), and additional over 200 "bookmarked" on wishlist Even removing those with "low" priority leaves 54... Doubt I'll ever manage to read them all...

yorhel himself admitted in the initial post that he sucks at doing UI, so hopefully he will improve it after sufficient feedback.

i brought this up because one of the routes seems to kind of hinting that possibly one of the heroines might be the mc's mother just at a younger age. they havent outright said it but if its so, he isnt aware of that possibility and neither is she. as i was reading this i was wondering if there had ever been a vn where the mc was his own father through like time travel? i know this is fucked up beyond all reasoning but i mean, i fucked women versions of chris columbus, genghis khan, oda nobunaga, billy the kid, etc, etc because of a vn so its not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

There are some seriously weird interrelations out there in VNs, but most people don't go The Stupids route or copy Futurama when writing a VN, lol. However, I did find one VN that sort of fulfills your request, though I won't spoil it for anyone else, and it isn't humorous in the story.

Two that I can think of is trying to go back ACT prep for College and try learning how to drive.

LMFAOOOOOO holy shit HAHAHA TOTAL bruh MOMENT om g lol haha my sides bro im experiencing heart palpitations this joke man dude this is EVERYTHING im lol my brain is deteriorating HAHAHA LOL

survive until next year

@eplipswich I recognize that you have a life and the speed and quality of the translation/editing may not remain consistent. Thus I think it might be prudent to release the main story first and then a separate patch for the side stories due to the unknown release date. I probably wouldn't play the side stories immediately after finishing the main story; I'd take a break. Admittedly I've very eager to play it XD But that's just me. Idk if other people would be the same way. And of course it's up to you for how to release this. You've done absolutely wonderful work and I'm grateful for what you've done either way. Thank you!!

The only thing that's both a Nakige and a Nukige at the same time is Wanko to Kurasou

Perhaps I can suggest Hoshiori if you look into marriage ending here. Other than that, I guess I can recommend some other Smee VNs such as Makeover and Pure x Connect if you can read Japanese (For the info Smee is Fureraba's developer). I hope my recommendations here will be helpful to you.

If the ending isn't happy, it isn't a nakige. By definition, a nakige exists to make you cry then salvage the situation into a happy ending. If the ending isn't happy, it is an utsuge.

I mean... That's what you sign up for when reading a nukige. The whole point of a nukige is to show and have sex for you to jerk off to. Nukiges only care about sex appeal, the little story that it has is to make it somewhat logical or coherent. Fureraba isn't a nukige, it's an eroge. Eroge - VN with sex scenes Nukige - VN where the purpose is the sex (and don't care about much else) Edit: Princess Evangile (https://vndb.org/v6710) and PE W Happiness might be something for you. Or, if you like moe, Wagamama High Spec (https://vndb.org/v17823). Or anything made by Yuzusoft. I also very highly recommend Chrono Clock if you're looking for fulfilling character routes, but they don't include H-scenes. The h-scenes are separately unlocked after completing the respective routes.
