Hello, I'm a newbie to this forum. I've been playing VN's for awhile now to get better reading Japanese and figured I want to actually discuss them from time to time. I originally came over from the web novel scene and have a thing for really strong protagonists and cinematic fight scenes. Favorite VN's recently are Riddle Joker and Drakuriot. Also really into the virtual youtuber Ars Almal. よろしく～

I have finished Miazora Interstellar Focus in Japanese. I ended up really really liking it. One of the best (the best?) fandiscs I've read. The 3some true route was pretty much what I wanted: Pure comfy, just enough drama, made both girls happy, and kinda explored the difficulties. It was also nice to see a bit of the other characters get epilogues and screen time even though it wasn't their route. It was nice to see characters like Hinami and Yoshioka get some nice scenes. And the bonus Quiz thing was a really fun way to incorporate that in the plot. I especially liked the one with Take and Narue since it's the only case where you can just have 1 on 1 time with em and even have Narue's thoughts on Take. I don't think this fandisc really changed my opinion much on the characters, but it did give many of them to shine again which is great. It did help get me more hilarious and sweet Hinami moments which I always appreciate. Honestly after reading this, Miazora might be my 2nd favorite VN series (after MajiKoi) even if any of them individually aren't in my top 3. Each of the 3 Miazora VNs were just all really consistently enjoyable and my type of slice of life: comfy, heartwarming, nice romance, a decent amount of character development, a fun way to incorporate a theme (stargazing), nice music, and just fun to read in just about every route.

Hiya, you guys! Guess who's back~ I spent last week reading through the entire common route of Majikoi and boy, did I enjoy it haha First impressions Positives strong and dominant female cast unique and diverse characters good comedy fast-paced without much info drop the end skit hehe Negatives the art and BGM are very average imo I'm still not sure what to say here abt the vn itself; I had some issues with some characters, but I will dwell on that later Characters Miyako: She was fun at first, but the jokes got tiring and repetitive with time... Wanko: I L O V E H E R ! ! ! I don't want to have to lewd her in her route uuuuugh... Ravioli, ravioli, don't lewd the doggo loli. A pal of mine described her as the mix of Kud and Masato (from Little Busters!) and it couldn't be any less true. Chris: Hmm... I don't think she's a bad character, per se... but she is indeed the least interesting one, I'd say. She's kinda preachy and annoying - kind of a jerk, a lot of times lol Mayu: Not gonna lie, I disliked her at fitst (I only liked "Matsukaze"), but she did grow on me, especially after both fights with Chris haha Momoyo: Even though her actions are questionable - with the harassement and rape jokes and all, I am still a sucker for strong girls sigh... Shouichi (Capt.): I want to see my little boy...! Here he comes! I want to see my little boy...! Personally, I see him the same way as Wanko: just an innocent child running around hehe Gakutou: I was expecting that first bad end to be with Gakutou ngl; it was disturbing, oof... Well, I love muscle idiots, he very much reminds me of Masato, except Masato doesn't think with his dick lol Moro: I like him, he's the sane member of the group lmao He doesn't stand out though, not that I mind it. Minamoto Tadakatsu (Gen-san): Man, I just love this guy! He's the first tsundere I actually stand and like, woah He's such a sweetheart hehe I couldn't bear Ikurou... He was too much; Oogushi was alright, I guess; Man, I loved Azumi, even though she barely showed up lol Aoi Touma... what a bi icon, I love him, heh; he wasn't a trash character and was clearly bi, so that's nice (yes, the bar is low) Love for children aside, Jun is cool! That cool and smooth voice totally suits him lmao Finally, for Yamato: he's a good balance between generic and OP (to the point of it being too much). I have to admit that amongst such a diverse and powerful cast, he is a bit underwhelming, but I like it. He doesn't need to be too excentring, since he is usually "watching" the story unroll (as the protagonist). ---------------- Well, then. I will read Chris' route tomorrow. I'm a little uncertain on how to feel about her, but at least now I know better than to actually read h-scenes lmao well, except this one is apparently needed for the plot
