I know that I'd seen the art somewhere the moment I saw the thumbnail, and turned out it's really indeed Komawata one who as we know been in Yuzusoft VNs as the SD CG artist (She also work in some Purple Software VNs and Yumina as well). In any case, looks like her art is quite popular so much that some fan make a trailer for a fake game based on her art. So to answer the title question no it's not really a VN, although if the game become real most likely the format would be VN.

Add the heroines info and the poll. As for my opinion on this, well Senren Banka here is more or less a charage with traditional Japanese setting. Also from what I read apparently some of the background was taken from Kyoto, so it's nice of them to do some researching there. Feel free to discuss about Senren Banka here, and congratulation to Nekonyan in regard of their newest release.

Bethly: 100.0%
Mizuha: 0.0%
Yuzuki: 0.0%
Momiji: 68.3%
Hinata: 100.0%
Total: 56.64%No much to say here other than translating porn apparently quite a tasking work there, so that's all for this week update.

Decided to bump this thread because we have Trip do a lot of editing for Hoshiori's script, and today they released the second version of Hoshiori's translation. In case you didn't satisfied with the current translation, you can get the new version of Natsuki's patch at their usual site here. Have fun.

Congratulation on your rank up as mod on Reddit there, and it's too bad that there's a drana involving moderators there. I guess moderators can also involved in the drama as well, no matter which community it is.
Anyway for January VNTS I would say that if not for Nekonyan's announcements it would be very plain, especially when there's no big name releases there. At least February releases here is quite interesting, so hopefully we can see more interesting releases at upcoming months.

Congratulation for the Steam release, and after I read through mostly I can say that Frontier here didn't need to have have nukige tag. Granted that it have some mandatory sex scenes, but compared to the gameplay ratio it was far less compared to Haruka in that we need to grind through sex and yet it's still not categorized as nukige in VNDB list (I mean you didn't really neccesarily need to corrupt the goddess to get a strong team (Admittedly it help a lot though, and why not seeing that the corrupted goddesses outfit is quite sexy lol), and that Loki definitely didn't need to level up the goddesses through the sex). So yeah compared to Haruka and Escalayer, you can have less sex in Frontier (And you can totally avoid the optional sex scenes) and therefore I can say that the nukige tag on VNDB is wrong. By the way I like the VN here.
For the story, I can say that the law route here is like Route B of Valkyrie Profile while for chaos route it's like True Route of Valkyrie Profile, except instead of Lenneth the protagonist here is Loki (You'll root for him in law route, and even if Loki was become Villain Protagonist in chaos route you still root for him anyway). For the goddesses, their name and traits is derived from Norse mythology and it should be obvious from Loki name here. Thor, Freya, and Odin should be more obvious examples here, while for Tyrca here her name is derived from Tyr (Her power is like Lenneth though, and perhaps it might intended seeing that her design is like Valkyrie). While Rigret name here is less obvious and she only get the real world name in the sequel, her Divine Gear should be enough hint on which god that inspire her (It's Heimdall in which it's pretty well known for Gjallahorn).
Lastly I believe that Ninetail chose this as their very first official localized VN, because it's the more popular VN on Venus Blood series. The reason is simply because they make a sequel based on this (Ragnarok), and I think it wouldn't be happen of the VN is less popular (The Norse mythology here did help a lot admittedly). For the next release, let's just say that I hope that Ninetail can localized both of Hypno and Ragnarok if possible, although I know that Ragnarok will possibly be a Tough Act to Follow for Frontier being the sequel and all.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and sorry for the belated greeting. Feel free to ask any questions in regard of VNs here, and I hope that you'll have fun here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and while I'm on Discord admittedly I rarely come there. Anyway feel free to talk about VNs here if you like it, and I hope that you'll have fun here.

From the title looks like you expect something like story driven VN, so let me say it straight that you shouldn't that kind of writing in Yuzusoft VNs because when it comes down to that they specialized in charage/moege, and Noble Works here is their VN before Dracu Riot. Granted that their recent VNs did have some overaching stories (Please remember that it's still mostly in charage territory), but remember that they just started the trend at Dracu Riot so you can't exactly expect that it'll be the story driven here. So if you ask me what's your not getting, probably it would be the affection to the heroines in which usually it was the charage creator goal.
About the semantic underrated here, just like Ittaku said it should be overrated because it clearly describe the OP situation well in that he trapped because of good rating at VNDB. For the clarification overrated mean that the work that get too much praise when it turn out that it's not up to the supposed praise, while underrated here mean that a less known work that receive less praise and turned out that it's pretty good (You can see this link for clearer understanding). Of course to determined whether the work is underrated or overrated it's up to each of their own (ie subjective matter), but in this case it's pretty clear that the you find Noble Works is overrated.

The reason for the title is obviously because they release this on Valentine days. Anyway I figure that I should open the discussion thread for Senren Banka here, even though it's still six hours early. Feel free to discuss what's your thought on this, and I'll add the VA info along with the poll later.
For the reviews, I guess we can say that Senren Banka here is pretty much like Yuzusoft previous VNs, so you better expect this as charage there. If anything, at least the MC (Arichi) here is not like Makoto from School Days. So let's go with the heroines and their VA directly, and for the routes here we'll going to have four main routes along with two side routes.
1. Tomotake Yoshino
The shrine maiden that Arichi saw when he came to the shrine, and she's the daughter of the priest of the shrine. She also have hold some secret, namely that whenever there's evil spirit appear she'll have (Cute) cat ears. She also appear to be quite strict in her appearence, so much that she like to slap herself when she woke up even though it's very painful to her. Because of circumstances, currently Yoshino was engaged with Arichi and understandably Yoshino was confused with that. Her VA is Eri Sendai in which her roles are Inaba Meguru from Sanoba Witch (And we'll see Yoshino say 'Challo' at a certain point), Kusunoha Misaki from Hatsukoi Sankaime, Suzuki Kana from Daitoshokan, Kisaki Reina from Kirikoi, Otonashi Saku from Hello Lady, Kouzuki Io from Dal Segno, Kuroki Michi from Noraneko, and Nijouin Hazuki from Riddle Joker.
2. Hitachi Mako
The female ninja who act as Yoshino's guard, and also act as her friend (Sort of like Akari and Sena from Noble Works). Although she's quite serious when it come to her job, she also like to tease someone who is quite close to her, and that included Yoshino as well. Her VA is Takamori Natsumi in which her roles are Kariya Wakana from Sanoba Witch, Patricia from Noraneko, Sorakado Ao from Summer Pockets, Higashi Mashiro from Apeiria, Inui Azusa from Tsujidou, Inui Saki from Aokana, Tachibana Ochiba from AstralAir, and Souma Ria from Kirikoi.
3. Murasame
The spirit of a sacred sword that was sealed at the shrine, and the sword itself was supposed to be not breakable. At least until Arichi somehow manage to broke it and that circumstance lead him to have an engagement with Yoshino, and that Murasame acknowledge Arichi as the new master of the sword. As the spirit, she's only visible to a small amount of people (Including Mako and Yoshino). She also have some ironic trait there, namely that she's quite afraid of ghost even though she herself is a ghost. Her VA is Yamamoto Nozomi in which her roles are Misono Senri from Daitoshokan, Arisaka Mashiro from Aokana, Tsukuyomi from Baldr Heart, Satou Koutaro from Wagahigh, Shitaka Iori from Love Cube, Yuri from Uchi trilogy, Kabutoyama Midori from Hello Lady, and Nosuri from Utawarerumono sequel duology.
4. Lena Liechtenauer
A foreigner who happen to like Japan and that she have some misconception, such as eating wasabi in a sizeable amount instead of bit by bit. She did transfer to Japan in order to helping at the inn which also doubled as Arichi's grandfather house, and she passed the test. She somehow also be able to see Murasame, and that she help with the evil spirit hunt occasionally. Her VA is Tanezaki Atsumi/Kirihana and her roles are Ayachi Nene from Sanoba Witch, Mitsukasa Ayase from Riddle Joker, Kodachi Nagi from Daitoshokan, Ousaka Sora from Hoshiori, Yuunagi Ichika from Astral Air, Asuhara Yuuki from Noraneko, Takakura Anzu from Clover Day's, and Ikoma Murasaki from Phantom Trigger.
I guess that's all for the heroines, and even though I didn't talk abput side heroines I'll still add those two heroines in the poll.
-
Like Ange said, Trip didn't like Maki when he translate her route, so the chance for him to pick the fandisc is very miniscule as of now. Also as of Tsurezure (Trip's group) did translate Ginharu, and so far there's no other team who translate Virgin Road so the answer for you question here is 'There is no Virgin Road translation project as of now'.
-
About Kin'iro Loveriche nickname, yeah I know the official nickname for that is Kinkoi. As for Kirikoi, it's the meme nickname for Kin'iro Loveriche. I know that I should use the official one here, but I decided to use meme nickname here anyway for a certain reason.
-
We finally have another update, so here we go (I know that I'm late for this).
Common: 100.0%
Bethly: 100.0%
Mizuha: 0.0%
Yuzuki: 0.0%
Momiji: 65.3%
Hinata: 100.0%
Total: 56.08%No much to say other than we may have biweekly update from now on, and that's all for this week update.

6 hours ago, Ruberick said:
By the way, anyone having thoughts if the machine translations of the Eushully games in the Ikusa Megami series are worth it?
I don't check Verita yet, although looking from other Eushully VNs that use MTL, there's a chance that it night not worth it especially if I remember Soukoku no Arterial here. So yeah just don't play it, because you'll have a hard time to understand the dialogue from text alone if the narration translation is really bad.
-
Let's see. I would say that I seconded both of Koichoco and Hoshiori here. But if you want more, then you can try Summer Pockets, Senren Banka (Just wait until Valentine later), Sanoba Witch, and Fureraba. I hope my recommendation here will be helpful to you.
-
I know I'm very late here, but better late than never. Here's the song from Hinata's route in Ginharu because we have Hinata's patch as New Year prize from Tsurezure, so enjoy.
Dreamy Dreamy
Himawari (Natsuki's Ending Song)
From what I hear the first song here is sounds like Natsuki's first song while her ending song is sounded like Runa's ending song, which to be fair make sense seeing that the songs are composed by the same person. In any case, I like the Himawari more here because it's more calm though of course both songs are good in each of their own way. The singer for both songs is Kicco, who also sang Runa's ending song along with HGB insert song and Tayutama duology opening. Other thing to note is that looks like she sang mostly for Lump of Sugar VNs (Including the afirementioned HGB and Tayutama duology).

Here's the latest update from Alka. As for their plan to release the full patch (ie Alka's patch (I'll explain the naming later)) as belated three dayes Valentine prize (February 17th) at the latest, let's see if they can fulfill it later (Of course if they can release it earlier than 17th later, then it's all good).
-
So they got some interesting announcements I see. I'll try to talk more about those announcements later, but if I need to say which announcement that interest me the most it would be Clover Days. For Kirikoi and Riddle Joker, I guess it could be at the second place (I don't know which one that I look forward the most for now, although I probably favored Kirikoi). I only know that IxSheTell is probably just a very lighthearted moege that was not quite well received, so I'm probably not took my interest to it. For Dracu Riot, like I say it's a redundant one to me but I know that there's some people who still want the full version and looking forward to it, so congratulation for Nekonyan to finally manage to get Dracu Riot.
tldr - My rank for my interest on Nekonyan's announcements here would be Clover Days, following with Kirikoi, Riddle Joker, IxSheTell, and lastly Dracu Riot.
PS - I know that Kirikoi here is a meme title of Kin'iro Loveriche, but I figure that I should keep that naming here for me at least XDD.
-
Well good luck with the editing there, and congratulation for going official with Nekonyan there.

Like flanepaladin said, I already finished Kami no Rhapsody Lavirie's normal end. Still have no idea on how to reach true end, but perhaps I may miss one character interaction here. Also while you can still use magic, well you'll probably more focused on bring more ally in the battle and thus you forgot to use magic. Besides with the mana system in which the deployment cost did share same mana as the casting cost, I think you'll going to find yourself to mostly use spell as long range attack except for some circumstances (I rarely use area spell here by the way). That said, there's many way to play Rhapsody though as long as you remember some countermeasure for some certain battles. I'll give the tips for the hard boss here, and perhaps I'll try to play Mistoria's route later now that we have improved patch.
For the hard battle, I can only think Zelgain, final boss, and dragon zombie. I don't know a surefire trick to fight Zelgain, but at least I can suggest you to use Elgamisera to tank those annoying 85 HP mooks with Guts (Revived with 1 HP) at first stage of final battle, bring some characters (Liwo preferrably) with Pierce to attack the 2nd stage final boss that have -50 damage shield (And please remember that Lutriche/Ostinard here is have artifact, so at least she can tank some heavy attack), and feel free to use shield for final boss battle (Basically it only have very simple strong attack, and thankfully it have no Pierce ability or shield). For Dragon Zombie that mod Clephas did call as difficult boss, actually you can just make sure that Forzaslein can have 74 ATK to bring down those annoying undead in one turn because she have Purify Undead medal, while you have Liwo as main attacker with Pierce and Counterattack medal. They should equip the medal that can give two action per turn (Forzaslein with Killing Reaction and Liwo with Double Action), and with it the Dragon Zombie should be downed easily (I have more trouble with the mooks though).
To answer when we should do the grinding, I think it should be when things start to get harder. But in general you should do as little as possible in order to maximize rune gain, and for Deadbeat dungeon I should stressed that you should clear it at Chapter 9 when all members are available (Of course after clearing all the area). In case you still think that it's not enough, you didn't need to worry much because you can carry the current state to NG+ (Keep in mind though that you need to at least level Eld to level 20 in order to unlock another dungeon, which mean more medal and more runes). Oh and please remember weapon point that you can fill in order to increase the attack (10 points to ATK/MAG should be more than enough, and you'll be able to fill all of it if you fully clear all of the areas).
