Welcome to Fuwanovel, and feel free to ask for VN recommendations if you need it. I hope that you'll have fun here.

Quite a number of familiar VNs for June 2010 here. Narcissu 0 - Well I did forget to note that it's been released back at August 2016, and it's the origin story of the hospital setting in Narcissu looking from the synopsis. Other than that, no much to say. Clannad Side Stories - Various side stories from Clannad, and again just like Narcissu 0 no much to say other than good for Sekai to release supplementary material of Clannad. Kourin no Machi - Same setting as Sharin no Kuni, although the writer is different. I did remember that it have the translation project in the past, although nowadays I didn't see the progress from it so as of now the project is probably already cancelled. Kud Wafter - Little Busters fandisc that was focused on Kud which apparently quite popular because she's half Russian and she's very cute. No much to say either other than it has both of all age and 18+ version, and that currently Alka did work on translating this although currently they've focused on Summer Pockets Reflection Blue translation work so they set aside Kud Wafter translation work. Otoboku 2 - The prequel is one of the VN that was localized by Mangagamer, and as of now I think it's the only translated VN that have trap MC with female love interest. Too bad that Mangagamer didn't localize this, but I guess they need to allocate the money to localized story VN such as Kara no Shoujo and ef and that Otoboku sales may not be enough for the sequel to be localized. Eroge - Nukige with the creating the VN as the premise, and it's produced by the same company as Clock Up who as we know produce some disturbing nukige such as euphoria and Maggot Bait. In regard of this I can only say that at least the sex contents is not as disturbing as Clock Up VNs, the player may learn on what's inside the eroge company, and that obviously Mangagamer was localize this. Deardrops - Overdrive VN, and one of my complain back when I play this is that Rimu's route didn't connected with the music theme along with the misunderstanding story that happen in her route. Although if I reflect on this, perhaps her route is not too bad compared to Yuuri's route in Bokuten, and yes I bring the comparison because both of Bokuten and Deardrops here is been written by same writer. The other thing that I remember is that this VN did introduce the rule that band member can't fall in love, which to say that the rule itself is quite flimsy seeing that it's an eroge and that three of four band members are the heroines. While the writer did explain on why the rule is important, I did wonder if the writer did have problem with love life especially after I see the setting in Bokuten. Well in the end the VN main focus here is should be Riho's route and also Kanade's route to an extend, so perhaps you shouldn't expect the other two routes (Especially Rimu's) will be equal with Riho's and Kanade's routes. That's all for my comment in regard of June 2010 releases here.

No much to comment, but still let's see what I can comment in regard of May 2010 here. So Ra No Wo To - I only know that it originally from the anime in which it's the original work instead of adapt it from another source, and I did call this as 'K-On on Military' because we'll have five girls in military who play the music after the war between countries destroy their surrounding. Well at least the anime itself is quite well received, and you can just watch the anime if you want to know the main story. Evolimit - One of the three very well known Propeller chuunige that are written by Higashide Yuuichiro alongside Ayakashibito and Bullet Butler, and out of those three only Ayakashibito was translated back at 2014. No much to say other than mod Clephas like it very much (Otherwise he won't make more than one blogpost in regard of this), it's obviously will have a number of fight scenes, and that you better try to ask Mangagamer if one want to see this translated (Although looks like it's quite hard to do as of now). Oh and once again like Tokyo Babel the setting is unusual, in which it's at Mars that was just developed. Real Imouto - Looks like Oreimo with his blood related little sister has fragile ego, although in here the MC will got little sister who come from his favorite heroine at his little sister eroge. Looking from the writer, as expected from his Shinikiss writing (Both Real Imouto and Shinikiss were written by same writer (Orgel)) the ending itself is quite bittersweet to a degree (Or at least that's what the reviews state), although in the end it's still a VN about little sister though. That's all for my comment in regard of May 2010.

About Yumeutsutsu, I did remember that the writing between four routes are very different. By very different I mean looks like each writer did what they think it's the best when it come to narration, and therefore the perspective writing between four routes are vary. To elaborate, Saki's route didn't have perspective but instead there's only non-stop conversation (ie no monologue) just like the manga without narration, Nana's perspective is fully focused on Nana with few lines back to Ai, Marie route has standard everchanging perspective between Ai and Marie, and lastly Kokoro's route is goes as normal with Ai in charge of monologue just like common route. Also I like that the textbox color here is reflect on which character perspective that currently the reader read. As for the twist, let's just say that it's not as surprising as Hakuai although it's still quite wham in the VN itself. Either way have fun in regard of Yumeutsutsu. For both of Carnevale and Rhapsody, well don't expect much in regard of those two is the good advice that I can give. Although it's less in regard of the VNs are bad and it's more that you better not expect something amazing in those two VNs because after all disappointment was born from high expectation. That said, those two VNs are still good on their own so have fun in regard of that. Also Carnevale engine here is really bugged, so it would be wise to follow the translator advice to not right click on it (Although admittedly it's quite annoying in that you can only use keyboard to access the menu). In case you have doubt on the translation thanks to translator infamous translation of Cross Channel in the past, I'll just say that the translation is okay despite some of awkward wording, or to make some comparison here I have more problem with typo at 11eyes than Carnevale's translation and yet I still say that it's nice to have 11eyes translated.

About Umikana, what I can say is that Pulltop won't make it as 18+ VN. The reason is simply because they chose newbie anime VA in which I'm sure that they won't do voice act for eroge first, and the VA themselves did use real name instead of pseudonym (The most famous one is Akari Kitou who is famous for voicing Nezuko in Demon Slayer and Momo in Machikado Mazoku). Most importantly, Pulltop already released Umikana in Japan and it mean that they already have a vision on how the VN will going. So yeah unless Pulltop want to recast the VA for 18+ version I don't think that they'll make Umikana (And Anofure) 18+ version, and I certainly hope that they keep Umikana as all age VN because if they really make 18+ version of it then Pulltop's reputation is going worse than already is (At least to me).

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting. If you need some VN recommendations you can try to ask us here, and feel free to discuss any VN that you did read if you want to. I hope that you'll enjoy yourself here.

Welcome to Fuwanovel, and in regard of your project good luck on the crowdfund there. I hope that you'll have fun here.

I'm not sure if it's wise to quite the job (If you do it voluntarily) in order to work on a website especially at times like this when many people lost their job thanks to pandemic, but if it's your passion I can only say good luck on that.

Since we have a news in regard of Ginaharu, of course I use the title 'Silver Colored Faraway' here and 'Track 6' is mean that I use the title for the sixth time. Unfortunately the news that we have here is not a good one though, hence 'Requiem' in the title, and if you know about Catholic church requiem here is mean a Mass celebrated for repose of one deceased soul or in music term Requiem here is the last Mozart's work before he passed away. Also once again I use the title from one of Kanon 2006 episode, and in this case it's episode 10 (Requiem Atop the Hill). I'll explain more in regard of the title at PS later. As for this week, other than the news about Ginahru it's quite a plain one to sum it up because there's no much updates at this week, although Nekonyan here did reveal that they have two more secret projects at their Discord so it's a bit of interesting. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Admittedly Trip drop Ginharu is understandably very upsetting because it mean that he drop it after he translate two thirds of it and not to mention that people hoping that he'll continuing it after the hiatus, but if we think several breaks that he tooks in the past it's not surprising that he decided to drop it. I understand that its very disappointing, but what I can say is that unless we can have Mizuha's patch being released immediately just by throwing a tantrum with saying that it's either waste of time or nobody will trust Trip, it's pretty much pointless to do those so what can we do here is just try to move on. While Trip decided to drop Ginharu here Irru still want it to be finished, so if you want to help him or know a translator who willing to finish the last one third of Ginharu you can call Irru later through his Discord (The invite link here). Cherry Kiss did release another isekai nukige VN in which it's about the MC who supposed to not have superpower at first only to have his power to be awaken thanks to a drug later, and let's just say that you can play it if you interested and have fun. Verdelish still do good job with Slow Damage in which currently it's at 36% translated, and turned out that we also have Nine Episode 4 already starting the QA for some times. As from where you can see the progress, turned out that Sekai decided to add that important update in their Denpasoft tracker instead of their usual tracker (Currently the status on their usual tracker for Nine Episode 4 is that they're starting the QA soon). We also have Nekonyan announced that they have two more secret projects, although in this case they only reveal it at their Discord though in that they made two additional channels for discussing the secret projects, and you can try to guess their next projects at their Discord. Of course we still don't know what're their projects are, so for now we can only wait for Nekonyan to reveal their secret projects later (I assume that they'll reveal the projects in February at the latest based on this tweet). For fan translation, we have Loverable was at 94.71% edited, Eustia was at 60.92% TLC-ed with Licia's chapter was at 36.26% TLC-ed, and Harugi was at 76% translated with Yuuna's route was already past 90% mark (91%) translated. Lastly there's also Alka's progress on reworking original Summer Pockets, and currently they manage to reworking the original line in which currently it's been at 46.8% reworked. That's all for this week VNTS Review, and sorry if it's been too short here. See you next week. PS - For more explanation in regard of the title, I change words 'the Hill' in Kanon 2006 episide 10 title into 'the Snowing Town' so we have 'Requiem Atop the Snowing Town' as this week VNTS Review. Snowing Town here is also the title for one of Ginharu's soundtrack, and also it's the title screen theme.

Kotori Love Ex P - Good package for Kotori's fans in that Circus did their best to compile all of Kotori's route from across several version of Da Capo, and it's also available in English as well so good for Kotori overseas fans. In any case, apparently Kotori is very popular so obviously Circus as company who like to milk their Da Capo won't miss the chance to milk Kotori's fans, although in exchange Nemu here is become more infamous (Poor her). Akagoei 3 - I did read that apparently it's also has no satisfying ending even though it's the last entry of Akagoei trilogy, and thus I conclude that Kinugasa here might not be able to end his story. That said, I also know that he can write good comedy and characters interaction along with the setting as Ryuusei shown, so perhaps one shouldn't expect clear ending in any of Kinugasa's work because he clearly not capable to write that (Or you can treat him as someone who prefer to write open ending). Speaking about Ryuusei I know that it has sequel in development, although if Kinugasa also apply his open ending writing in Ryuusei sequel safe to say that people who expect clear ending in sequel will be disappointed (Not that I expect Kinugasa to write clear ending in Ryuusei sequel anyway). This VN also has translation, although currently they still translate the first part of the trilogy so we must wait until the team work on the last part here. Ikusa Verita - Somehow VNDB classify this as nukige even though it should be obvious that it's another gameplay heavy VN as per Eushully release. I only know that it got two MC and the gameplay is RPG instead of SRPG like usual Eushully VNs that are released after this, and that it's the start when Eushully did release their VN once per year with Verita here is their 2010 release. Yeah it also has narration and interface translation, although if Arterial narration patch is any indication I don't think that the narration will have readable translation (I still not tested it yet though). That's all for my comment in regard of April 2010 releases, and as for this month the releases are not as big as last month.

We have Pulltop finally announce 18+ version of this, and obviously it's only available in Japan because Pulltop didn't want to spent too much money in order to license the voices for sex scenes for overseas release (ie they may need to sell all of their assets just for that). The release date of it will be at March 26th later, and it has different Japanese name (Pureness Harem). Anyway at least this might be good if anyone want to read the sex scenes in Healing Harem even in Japanese, and it's not surprising that Pulltop rerelease this in 18+ version if we look at the VAs name (They use pseudonym instead of real name).

Quite a big month in regard of March 2010 here, so let's see what I can comment on this. Cross Day - My comment is more for the Days franchise in general. As for the VN, I hear that it got bugs and the size are pretty big for the VNs at that year. Although in exchange it play like the interactive anime though, so I can say that it got some innovation. That said, good innovation can't save the story and setting though in which I can say that the writer himself might be a heavy drinker so much that he created a character that basically is a very much what I can say as playboy that caused the family tree to become tangled to say it lightly, along with several other controversial plot and setting. The anime itself didn't help with the reputation at all, with the anime director chose to adapt bad ending presumably because he thought that School Days need to be ended dramatically as a lesson for playboy lol. In any case, at least nowadays 0verflow stop their VN development so that there's no more controversial release from them with Shiny Days as their last VN. Chaos Head Love Chu Chu - Unlike Noah you can say this as the fandisc, although Mages categorized it as sequel though. Granted that there's might be some plot point happen in the fandisc/sequel there, although in the end most of the contents are fanservices though. So yeah you can safely ignore it if you already content with Chaos Head ending, although you may find something good though if you took a liking to a certain Chaos Head characters because sometimes fandisc/sequel of Science Adventure develop a character there. Subahibi - First of all it's pretty obvious that SCA-DI did develop this as 10th anniversary of Tsui no Sora before changing the date to 2012, only that he left the initial year setting is still at 2009. I think the review is pretty much conclude and explain enough on what is Subahibi, so let's me just say that overall it's a good VN with some flaw such as Zakuro's suicide which to me it's pretty questionable. Both Subahibi and Tsui no Sora did have a lot of similarities, and for Subahibi the similarities only happen up to half of the VN. Speaking of Tsui no Sora there's a remake of it as well, in which other than improving the graphic (Up to Subahibi standard) along with adding the voices, the most notable addition is Yasuko's chapter in which she become one of the major characters while at the same time her new design is quite cute (Yasuko in Subahibi here is just minor character). I guess I can say that both of Subahibi and Tsui no Sora (And the remake as well) are good on their own, although Tsui no Sora OVA here is objectively bad though. White Album 2 - Unlike School Days, the director here didn't adapt the anime based on the bad ending which is good. Although it's not really says much though because the anime only adapt the Introduction Chapter and that part itself is only short linear VN with bittersweet ending, which is logical seeing that there's Closing Chapter that supposed to resolve the story. In case you thinking that Introduction Chapter is more memorable, I understand because the ending itself has some best impact while for Closing Chapter it's mostly abut Haruki chose to either with Setsuna or one of three additional love interests, and the additional love interests might be not as interested as Kazusa Setsuna duo. It also has same writer as Damekoi, and you didn't need to play the prequel because WA2 here is pretty much standalone. Lastly WA2 here has some good songs, and the most iconic one is the opening of Introduction Chapter Todokanai Koi. That's all for my comment in regard of March 2010.

Here's Alas de Luz from Atelier Meruru, and I like the soundtrack despite that it only play at the superboss fight in Meruru. Enjoy.

Abyss of the Sacrifice - One of the VNs that was translated in 2020, although it's quite underrated though. What I can say in regard of this would be this is a VN where you watch cute girls do cute things, except that the cute things here is escaping from the collapsing underground facility and sometimes turn on each other. From the reviews that I scanned, apparently the complain are mostly in regard of the puzzles which hard to solve without a guide. The VAs for this VN is quite well known, with name such as Kitamura Eri, Yukana, and Shizuka Itou. If anything else, at least Zero Escape fans can try this VN if one felt that the former did lacking in regard of the cute girls, although beware of the puzzle though. Oh at least there's PC version, so you didn't need to play untranslated PSP version and therefore no reason on using PSP emulator to play this. Other than Abyss no Sacrifice, no much well known VN in regard of February 2010 so I guess this month is sort of a breather before next month in which there's two big name releases. So that's all for my comment in regard of this month.

Too complicated to use, but I suppose it can be useful for some people who want to search DDPC nukige in which I did find two of it (Unfortunately it's unvoiced, so no 'passionate Hitomi Nabatame-voiced love-making' scenes even though Nabatame did voiced pink Precure of DDPC lol). Other than that, I only use advance search function to sort the best rated translated VNs in each year so I didn't find much use of it. So my conclusion on this would be nice feature but a little bit unneccesary.

Kazusa from Hitotsuba might be fitting for you, and other than that maybe Ranpha from Galaxy Angel trilogy. Also Ashe from Wagahigh and Yuzuyu from Fureraba can qualify as well. I hope my recommendations here can be helpful to you.

Ar Tonelico 3 - Apparently it's a downgrade of Ar Tonelico 2 in term of story and battle wise, which may or may not caused by high expectation of some people who've been wanting to play Ar Tonelico last part here. No much to say other than it's the last part of Ar Tonelico trilogy, it has good song at least as per Ar Tonelico usual, and that it's still too bad that GUST is more interested to release Atelier into Steam instead of Ar Tonelico (Not that it's wrong seeing that Atelier here is GUST's main series, and I like Mana Khemia in that it's one of Atelier series game). Mirai Nikki - I only know that it involve the most infamous yandere Yuno in which I always got her entry when I googled YU-NO, and that she's madly in love with Yukiteru (The MC). Oh, both of Yukiteru and Yuno here are involved with crazy game that was held by the god (Deus Ex Machina) with the participant must kill the other participant (Think Danganronpa), and that both of Yuno and Yukiteru somehow work together to won the game. At least the original creator of this involved in the VN, so there's that. Hoshimemo FD - Rather than FD, I guess I can say that FAVORITE here is like to make a pseudo sequel in their FD and Hoshimemo FD here is not exception. That said, it's still not too much though seeing that only two heroines that have full after stories (ie continuation of the heroines story) compared to Irotoridori in that apparently you must play Irotoridori FD in order to get complete understanding of each heroines, which to say not quite ideal format to me. Sekai also license Hoshimemo FD as well, and at least they've been better at it with the current progress was at 62% translated. Yumina FD - Same as main game, although in here you can also play as the other competitors that you fought in the main game, including Nayuta who decided to pick Ayumu as her partner in the upcoming battle against Yumina. Other than that, the party did remind me of Konosuba with Ayumu share same VA as Kazuma and often being the voice of reason, while Yumina here is as intelligent as Aqua. JAST still no license this yet, but I guess it's because licensing the FD here would be too much for them. That's all for my comment in regard of January 2010 releases.

I like that philosophical musing there. That said, since Ryukishi here is not the director and thus he might be not in hold of the whole story (As in he might be told to tone down his writing), I can see on why the VN would feel different with his other works even though the writing here is still obviously the same. If anything else, at least you can say that the graphics is better than default Higurashi art and that you can see on how Suzumu become One Punch Man lol (The MC Suzumu here did share same VA as the titular One Punch Man Saitama). Also I felt like that 'soot' can be used as euphemism for (Sorry) sperm or penis XD, especially when the characters did say that they want 'Suzumu's soot'. Seriously I can say that I agree Iwaihime here might be not his usual Ryukishi's writing and so many people are disappointed when they didn't find it as good as Higurashi or Umineko, so perhaps drop Iwaihime here might be the best option if you didn't like the writing there.

I guess it's only natural that Type Moon would improve the script for the remake version so that the story would be suitable by today standard, although its just too bad that there's no easy way for the translator to quickly translate the remake then lol. Not that I'm in a hurry to play Tsukihime remake anyway, so good luck to the team in regard of both translating the new script and porting the engine to PC.

Happy birthday to @Eclipsed and also happy 19th birthday to @Leonor, and I hope that both of you will have a good birthday.

As for this week title since we have Winged Cloud decided to release Sakura MMO Extra along with that we have Gekkou no Carnevale release back at Christmas, I decided to combined 'Sakura' with 'Automaton' so that we have Sakura Automaton as this week VNTS Review title. It should be obvious on why I chose the word 'Sakura', while for 'Automaton' here it's because in Carnevale we have living dolls which resemble human and based on Oxford dictionary one of the meaning of automaton is 'a moving mechanical device in the shape of a person' which to say fitting for the living doll in Carnevale (The story even wrote that the city is famous for automata (The plural form of automaton)). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week compared to the last week it's a bit plain in that there's no new announcement or release, although we have Shiravune announce that they're about to release Utawarerumono remake for PC. Other than Shiravune announcement we also have some updates from fan translation and Sol Press, so I guess this week is more or less just an average one. Let's see what I can write for this week as well. Currently we have Slow Damage was at 31% translated, and since we already have the release date of Japanese version at February 25th along with JAST said that they'll release it few months after Japanese version release, safe to say that we may have it released at this year (Hopefully). As for Sol Press updates, we have Nukitashi was at 60% edited and the QA build for Sakura Celebration is being finalized. No much update admittedly, although at least Sol Press has some progress on Sakura Celebration in which it's possibly their next release. If anything at least Sol Press still willing to work on their remaining VN licenses even a bit, although it's still too bad though that they cancel the contract with Laplacian and as the result currently there's no way to license their newest VN which is pretty well received. Oh well. For fan translation, we have Loverable was at 94.01% edited, Harugi was at three quarter translated with Yuuna's route was at 82% translated and Misaki's route was at 22% translated, and Eustia was past 60% mark (60.85%) TLC-ed with Licia's chapter was at 35.90% TLC-ed and Eustia's chapter was at 15.39% TLC-ed. That's all for fan translation at this week. As expected the news about Utawarerumono that Shiravune will announce back at 7th is in regard of Utawarerumono remake release for PC (Which technically is a redundant one), and they also already announce the release date of it in which they'll release it on 22nd later at their tweet. With it finally the PC player can enjoy the improved gameplay of Utawarerumono seeing that the original's gameplay is quite outdated to say it nicely, although in exchange it didn't have sex scenes though because it's the backport from console version and that Leaf already decided themselves to only make console VNs. Well at least it's not Yoake, Aselia, or Baldr Force cases in that we can't even see the sex scenes translated. Last but not the least we have Kirikoi open the Steam store for it along with announced the release estimation, in which it's on Q1 of this year which range from this month up to March's end. I still don't know when we'll going to have it released, but I can say that it would be nice to see Nekonyan release it as their Easter gift at the very least. That's all for this week VNTS Review, and see you next week.

Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting. As for your VN project, good luck on that. I hope that you'll have fun here, and feel free to ask for VN recommendations if you need it later.

If you need some VNs from the same writer as Baldr Sky, I can suggest you Baldr Force (No sex scenes though), Duel Savior, and Dengeki Stryker. If you want some more gameplay VN, I guess Utawarerumono trilogy might be interesting to you (Also you can wait for the first part remake release for PC at 22nd later instead of playing the original, although the remake didn't have sex scenes). Almost forget that you can play Yumina and Aselia as well, and if you want some non gameplay VN you can try I/O along with Root Double. I hope that my recommendations here can be helpful to you.

For the info Utawarerumono 2 gameplay here is supposed to be the improved version of original Utawareumono version, because the original one didn't even allow the player to do some grinding outside main story (So no redoing a stage), no skill, and no equipment. By original I mean not something like Prelude (Why NISA didn't localize it as Mask of Beginning is a mystery seeing that it's more appropriate to have the idiosyncratic subtitle based on 'Mask' and that the title make more sense if we look at the story later) and even PS2 version, but instead the PC version that has been translated since back at 2008. And what Leaf did here is improved the first part of the trilogy while obviously they won't touch the second and third part seeing that it's still modern enough. As for my advice, well just be mindful about positioning and look out for the upcoming turn of the enemy, although it's easier said than done. Oh and make a save before engaging into the battle. PS - Prelude will be released for PC by Shiravune at 22nd later although it won't have sex scenes though. In case you want to see the sex scenes, well you can play the old version of it. At least it's not Aselia or Yoake case if anything else.

It's their domestic affair, so I can't say anything in regard of that other than the similar things also happen in Indonesia back at 1998 and turned out people are not much different despite on how much advance their countries from the outside. Also for another irony the same situation before the Capitol Hill also happen in Indonesia back at 2019 election. PS - For the poll, let's just say that I chose Nay if only for more conducive situation, though I know that it won't make much difference.
