  1. For Saki, I think it's probably because sprite did tease her as the heroine in Aokana Zwei although I don't know much about the detail though to tell the truth. As for poll itself, my focus is more on the main heroines poll in which it's pretty much proved that when it come to Aokana's main heroines there's no difference in that the voters always favored Misaki the most, following Mashiro, Asuka and lastly Rika. PS - While I thinking that Nekonyan didn't really need to overcompensating their Senren Banka delay with free DLC (Just admitted that Senren Banka will be delayed is already show them that they far more better compared to Sol Press), I appreciate their free DLC release there.
  2. I I don't know if these VNs would be good for you, but at least I know that SciFi ADV VNs (Steins Gate, Steins Gate 0, and Chaos Child) got 60% off. Other than that, we also have Shibuya Scramble get 70% off. Lastly if you want to play some moege, there's Konosora that got three quarter (75%) off although I would recommend you to play it with Restoration patch here thanks to Pulltop overcensored their own VN for overseas release. I hope my recommendations here will be helpful to you.
  3. If Sekai did explain earlier, my blame still go to GIGA anyway seeing that Sekai did have 18+ VN release in the past and that it's not surprising because we have Pulltop as well. Also I just find out that GIGA did spawned Aquaplus and Leaf which as we know recently like to going console by releasing it on PS4, so it shouldn't be surprised if GIGA want the overseas release is all age like Utawarerumono trilogy. In any case, I just hope that no official VN localization company wouldn't take GIGA license anymore, but instead I hope that either ATLUS or NISA will work together with GIGA (After all, it should reduce a lot of controversy here). Oh almost forget to say that the initial price that GIGA offer is too pricey at US$ 75, which it's too expensive eventhough it's initially sold as two VNs. To respond Kiriririri here, I guess they want to avoid Valve's tantrum then. Still it's not quite explain why they add tag 18+ though seeing that some of Sekai VN that was available at Steam didn't have that warning even though it have uncensored patch available, so perhaps it's just GIGA and Sekai was too lazy to modify the warning. Of course by that it mean I'm wrong when I say that it wouldn't be censored just because it have 18+ year old warning here.
  4. Bokuten is out in Steam according to Mangagamer's tweet here. In any case, you can get it at Steam if you have the problem with rape contents here (Yes Bokuten have those) and have fun.
  5. I believe that Aine was voiced by Nakamura Eriko using alias Kirinokojima Tsubasa, but unfortunately I don't know which site that could verify my theory here other than Bangumi (I know about it from there first). As for my Bokuten's overview here, I think I can only describe the writer as someone who have a very bitter view about love. While you may argue that it's only apply for Bokuten, I can say that it's been like this since Deardrops in which the author did introduce the concept 'Band member can't fall in love' which to say was quite questionable concept back then (I remember that it spawn stupid drama in Rimu's route). Granted that it's been sort of handwaved in Deardrops, but after looking at the spoiler (Especially the setting) I believe that the author here did write his opinion on love at Bokuten here very much. Also if I recall from Deardrops usually some problem are quickly resolved, so you need to be prepared for that in Bokuten (Especially @Seraphim88). Lastly while I did say that the writer did have very bitter view of love, you may try this if you want some very depressing story about love (I wouldn't call it realistic though seeing that it would be varied if we talk about love experience here) and have fun.
  6. I don't understand though why they list 18+ years old for all cast in the the adult warning, seeing that usually it meant for the one with sex scenes (To be fair they didn't list nudity though). Although if we want to think hard, perhaps both of Sekai and GIGA did lazy to change the warning seeing that it's obviously intended for Japanese player. In any case, I'll just hope that the censorship would worth the trouble if we'll going to have the new content here that GIGA will created (Otherwise the censorship will be wasted). Also I hope that Sekai will be more open to inform when they'll need to censor the release in case some developer was quite stubborn to not bring 18+ contents oversead like GIGA here. PS - The one who will make 18+ patch is SteppenWolf who as we know created Baldr Force patch, so I hope that they have most up to date tool to hack Sekai's version engine seeing that the font that Baldr Force have is very hard to read.
  7. Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week title I just combined both of Seven Days and Angel Beats here because both title here are supposed to be our attention at this week. For more elaboration, the 'Ghost' part here is from Seven Days because we'll going to see ghost problem in there while for the 'Beats!' part it should be obvious where it's come from. For my overview on this week, we have two releases (The aforementioned Seven Days and Winter Polaris) and two new projects which should be good if you've been waiting for it. Although my focus is more on Tsurezure did resume their Ginharu work though, so I can say that this week is pretty interesting if only because of Ginharu's update. Anyway let's see what I can write for this week here. Back at 12th we have Sekai suddenly released Winter Polaris, in which it's quite quick for them seeing that they just announced it back at May (To be fair it's only a short VN though). In any case, I didn't know much about this VN other than it'll involved a pandemic that caused people disappeared or something like that. Anyway get the VN from Steam if you curious about this and have fun. There's also an update from Nekonyan in regard of Aokana, in which they already have the the sex scenes for Perfect Edition are already in preparation for the QA and that they'll plan to release it at this month so let's see if they can fulfill the target. We also will have Nekonyan doing their usual updates at the next week, so let's see what they have at their next update later. By the way I'm not expected something like Senren Banka release here, but if they'll fulfill it at the next updates then it'll be a very nice bonus. We have Cherry Kiss announced their redundant nukige (Bullied Bride) release date, and it'll be at 24th later. Not my choice of Christmas prize if I may be blunt here, but at least some people would appreciate the release seeing that it's finally available for legal. We also have Sukera (The company who behind Amrilato) will release their new VN (Oshi no Love yori Koi no Love or OshiLove for short) at February 28th later and unsurprisingly it's another GL VN like Amrilato, but instead the surprising part here would be that it'll be available for simultaneous release for English and Chinese version. For more info, it's also 18+ VN judging from the VA name and that the graphic is looking good, so hopefully they'll be able to release it on time later. About Summer Pockets, apparently Visual Arts already have it in review by Valve so perhaps they'd really want to make the release it real as soon as possible. Whether the review time would be long or not it's up to them, but in any case I can only say that hopefully the review will be going smoothly. We also have news from Alka, in that they decided to translated Angel Beats in which as we know was stuck at halfway translated after Visual Arts issued C&D to the translator group who translated it. I believe they can do it, although whether Visual Arts will handle C&D later is still not known yet. In any case, I'll probably just pass on this seeing that Angel Beats here is still the first part and apparently there'll be more of that, which is impossible as of now seeing that Jun Maeda as the main staff did have severe health issue. Good luck to Alka though for tackling the project later. Almost forget to say that Alka already translated three quarter of Kamome's route, and that they'll try to release Kamome's patch in two or three weeks. From the rest of fan translation, like I say we have a progress from Tsurezure in regard of Ginharu after a few weeks of no update. As for the update, currently we have Momiji's route was at 29% translated and overall was at almost halfway (49.29%) translated. Also Trip did find out that the first part of Momiji's high school arc are sex scenes, so he have some rough time to get through of it. Oh and currently he also still doing some TLC on Hinata's route, so it'll be a while before we can finally have Hinata's patch (Hopefully as either Christmas or New Year prize). For other progress we have Miotsukushi Omote was at 72% translated, Loverable was at 77.03% edited, and Eustia was show a number of progress in which currently it's at 85.65% translated (Side stories was at 6.85% translated) along with almost three quarter (74.36%) edited (Licia's route was fully edited and Eustia's route was past a quarter (25.87%) edited. As for Seven Days, I remember that VN was created from the crowdfund that happened in Japan with the help of Fruitbat. After that, Fruitbat decided to localize it with the late Conjueror as the translator. After the loss, we have Steiner take care of the rest of the untranslated files until it's ready for the release back at 13th. As for the premise, we have the MC who manage to get a cursed Blu Ray disc that spawn a female ghost. While the ghost was easily defeated, there's another problem arise namely that turned out that there's seven ghosts that inhabit the ghost's body, and thus the MC need to calm down all of the ghosts within seven days each in order to allow each ghosrlt to move on. So essentially we'll going to follow on how the MC will try to calm all the ghosts within 49 days, and find some circumstances that surrounds the ghosts. If you interested with it, you can get it from Steam (No need to worry about censorship since Seven Days is the all age VN in the first place) and have fun. That's all for this week VNTS Review, and see you next week.
  8. It's been a while since the last update, but yeah Trip's been back so here's this week update. Common: 100.0% Bethly: 100.0% Mizuha: 0.0% Yuzuki: 0.0% Momiji: 29.0% Hinata: 100.0% Total: 49.29% Apparently the high school arc beginning of Momiji's route have a lot of files with sex scenes, so Trip did have slightly trouble to go through them. Also Hinata's route TLC is still ongoing, so it'll take a while before we can have Hinata's patch released (Hopefully at either Christmas or New Year later). That's all for this week update, and also the first update in December.
  9. Out of those 10, I only remember that True Remembrance did have good opening song. Also I just realized that Heart of the Wood have a very beautiful graphic, which is more than it sounds seeing that I didn't pay attention much to OELVN here if I may be honest. Anyway it's a good list that you made there even though I didn't quite interested with most of those (BL), but admittedly Hashihime plot here sounds interesting despite the genre (And that Steam Prison MC here is good looking).
  10. So until when Minatosoft want to milk Majikoi dry? Will we have another Majikoi mobage here? Will Minatosoft hire a very well known seiyuu so much that they can't license it if they want to release it overseas? For my thought here, I can only say that every Majikoi VN after the original are pretty much just the fandiscs (Yes including S), which to be fair it's easier to treat it like that because there's almost no continuity between original and S (Even more compared to Grisaia). Moreso if we remember that S was supposed to be the fandisc before Minatosoft upped the status into sequel, and that half of the route are the after stories. As for the announcement, good for Majikoi hardcore fans I guess.
  11. 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.
  12. Machikado Mazoku, and currently like it. It also help that there's a Myth Arc, even though it's still so lighthearted seeing that it's 4-koma manga from Kirara. I just hope that the author will get better soon, seeing that currently she's on hiatus until January because of health issue.
  13. Still strugling on finishing Hibiki's route of Maitetsu because I'm procastinated a lot here, so let's just hope that I can finish her route before 2020 (Should be possible seeing that I'm in Chapter 13 of her route).
  14. Let's just hope that the Steam review will be going well, if they really want to release it quickly that is. Too bad that they still didn't want to bring Reflection Blue here, do oh well. For the VN itself, I would say that it should be good if you looking for nostalgia with KEY elements. So the best approach here would be just treat it as usual KEY VN instead of expecting the new plot, and just habe fun on reading this. PS - Apparently Jun Maeda here only give the original concept and write the ending song lyric, and Nijima Yuu here take care of the rest (ie elaborate the original concept) from what I understand.
  15. Welcome to VNTS Review, and as for this week I can say that it's more lively compared to the last week. The reasons is simply because we have man announcements and one of those announcement is Baldr Sky Steam store that was finally opened, although right now I'm quite anxious in that there's high chance that they'll censor it. Other than Baldr Sky Steam store, we have Seven Days release date announcements as well in which it's sort of Conjueror's Swan Song because it's his last translation job besides Rewrite+ before he doing the action that ended his life. We also have Mangagamer and fan translation updates as well, and JAST also join the updates here with them announced Kimikoi release month at February later. Let's see what I can write for this week here, and I'll explain the title at PS later (Of course it's not because Winged Cloud released yet another their Sakura VN, although I appreciate them though in that their recent VNs MC are always female instead of faceless male). For Baldr Sky Steam store, let's just say that I have mixed feeling on that. The reason is definitely not because Sekai still set the release date as soon (I understand if they need more time to polish the engine), but rather it's because apparently it'll be censored according to the rumor. While I can just dismiss the rumor as nonsense, I start to see that there's some indication that the release will be lack of sex scenes. The silent response from Sekai there didn't really help at all, and in fact it make it worse. In the end, if the censorship must be happen, then I'll obviously blame GIGA because it mean that they're the same as Pulltop and that Sekai releases always have 18+ patch add on. So for now I just hope that whatever GIGA planned in regard of the replacement for the sex scenes should be worth the trouble if the censorship is inevitably happened, and if it's very important to them. At least I can say that the font is far better compared to what we see at Baldr Force which show a hard work from Sekai's programmer, seeing that the engine is supposed to be very hard to crack. I'm not surprised to see that JAST delsy both of Katahane and Flowers Autumn releases seeing that the autumn is already over and that there's no word about those two, but instead I'm very surprised with JAST suddenly announced that their Kimikoi are already ready for the release at February later. For more info, they also already have the pre-order for that. So if you want to see on why Kimikoi here is occasionally alluded as well known Doki Doki Literature Club predecessor and want to see 'passionate Hitomi Nabatame-voiced love-making' scenes (And moreso if Baldr Sky is really censored later on), you can do the preorder at JAST's site. For now I'll just hope that JAST didn't delay Kimikoi release at February later. From Mangagamer, we have some updates from them at their usual biweekly updates. The updates are Sukehime was fully edited, Rance 02 was halfway edited, Sona-Nyl was at 55% edited, WanNyan image editing was completed, and Sakuramori was about to enter the testing soon. Out of those announcements, I'm interested with Sakuramori the most so I hope that the testing for it would be going well. We have Ninetails released the new demo for Frontier, so perhaps you may try the new demo before decided whether you'll get Frontier that'll be released at 20th later or not. Speaking about the upcoming releases, we have a rerelease of a nukige by Cherry Kiss at this month (I'll just say that it's a redundant one because it's already fantranslated), and Seven Days at two days later (13th) in which it's been famous as the VN that was created from the crowdfund. I have not much to say other than I hope the releases will be successful. For the fan translation, currently we finally have Loverable was past three quarters (75.22%) edited and Miotsukushi Omote waa at 68% translated. We also have new project with the current progress was at almost halfway (49.7%) translated, and the VN in question is Chiccakunai Mon in which apparently it's a loli nukige so you may need to be very open minded if you want to play this later (I'll pass this anyway). Lastly we have a surprise new Amayui rough patch release that apparently translated 63% of the narration and that it's still not TLC-ed, which is fine enough to me seeing that I already survive Soukoku no Arterial 'translation'. While it sounds good enough, unfortunately I can't check in regard on how much the narration that was translated so let's just say that I'll pass on Amayui's partial patch here until there's a 100% translated narration patch in the future (Whether it's fully TLC-ed or not). That's all for this week VNTS Review, and sorry for being late here. See you next week. PS - For the title, the 'Sakura' part here is obviously from Sakuramori. As for the 'Literature Club' here, it's in regard of Kimikoi release month announcement which as we know it have similar twist like a certain very well known free OELVN (Doki Doki Literature Club).
  16. Watch your playthrough, and let's just say that it have a lot of super development (ie some sudden development). Also it's a waste to design Fiana's costume like that when she's very open about her princess identity, being mind about dresses even in emergency, and that she didn't have combat capable setting. Lastly, I think the only one that should be interesting is Fiana's VA (Nagano Ai) who after this mess going to voicing a PreCure at YPC5 (Akimoto Komachi/Cure Mint). Other than her, I can't find the other CV although apparently Ryu's VA did voiving a side aharacter in PCSS (I don't remember which one though).
  17. Sounds good that we hear the news about Perfect Edition here (Even though it looks like append disc), so let's look forward to it. Oh we also already have patch 1.1 in which it'll add voice bookmark thst was promised by Nekonyan, so good for them to add new feature for Aokana overseas version even further (Adding the music mode is already a big step up seeing that the original version didn't have it).
  18. About gameplay, well I tried Baldr Force and to tell the truth it's harder compared to Duel Savior. Apparently Sky gameplay here is the improvement of Force, so let's see if I can play it without difficulty later on. About the rumor in regard of censorship, to be honest the speculation out there is very annoying to me and to make it worse Sekai here rumored to didn't say anything in which it's widely speculated because that GIGA told Sekai to not say anything about it. If GIGA told Sekai to censor Baldr Sky, then what I can say would be that they'll got same principle as Pulltop. That said, I think it might be come with 18+ version though if we look at mature content warning. For the comparison, I'll post several mature content quote from Sekai VNs that have 18+ version along with Baldr Sky. Baldr Sky Wagahigh Kemomusu Nanairo Nine duology Majokoi For comparison I'll post both of Noraneko duology and Konosora as well. Konosora Noraneko duology What I want to suggest here would be that there's a chance that Sekai will release 18+ version here, only that Sekai was probably need to be silence about it. While practically there's no reason for that, it could be possible if we count the rumor that GIGA need to be silent until the release ready. But if the rumor is wrong, perhaps Sekai really like to be controversial in that they'll hide the 18+ contents in Baldr Sky until the last day which to say not the most ideal announcements. As for my purpose to list several mature content warning here, it to show that only three VNs that ask us to treat the character as 18+ or older people and one of those VNs are Baldr Sky. If they really want to censor it, I think they can do it just like usual or remove the 18+ old warning here. So for now I would say that there's a chance for Baldr Sky 18+ version, although the chance for that is still uncertain though.
  19. Welcome to Fuwanovel and sorry for the belated greeting. No problem with your English there, and you can ask us if you in need of some VN recommendations here. Lastly, I hope that you'll have fun here.
  20. Welcome to Fuwanovel, and good luck on your Kickstarter there. I hope that you'll have fun here.
  21. Welcome to Fuwanovel, and no much that I can say other than good luck to your project later on. I hope you'll have fun here.
  22. Welcome to Fuwanovel, and as for otome VN I think you can try Alice no Kuni and Hakuouki if you want some particular VN that you can play on PC and still not play those (Also recommend Steam Prison here). I hope you'll have fun here.
  23. What I can say for this week? Well if I may be very blunt it's very dry here seeing that we only have few updates from fan translation along with a re-release (Otome VN Taisho Alice, which admittedly very important one seeing that it have controversial first release), so I think there'll be no much to talk at this week and thus my VNTS Review here will be short. Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review and let's see what I can write for this week, and for the title I'll explain it in more detail at PS later (It's very obvious that the title here is from Taisho Alice VN). As for Taisho Alice, well I did know that it have a lot of messy translation with the infamous one is 'Hiragana and katakana Alice' (To be fair, it's spoken like that in the VN itself, although it's obviously very awkward for non-Japanese though). We also have one VA dubbed the whole VN (Or so that's what I hear), so at least you can relive the nostalgia if you watch the dubbed anime in your childhood (The dub is nice or not is another matter though). In the end, we finally can have a proper translation of Taisho Alice thanks to Verdilish for the translation and JAST for helping with the release procedure, so if you want to play Taisho Alice with good translation then pick the newer version and have fun with it. It's too bad though that it still the first part, but apparently we can finished two route (Red Riding Hood and Cinderella) so perhaps you can play it if you only interested with those two routes. From fan translation, we finally have Shin Koihime Musou was at 32% edited which is quite a big achievements than it sounds seeing that basically they edited few hundred lines periodically in a week, and for the line count currently it's at 34,595 out of 108,888 lines edited. Other than that, we also have Loverable was at 73.58% edited. Last but definitely not the least, we finally have Eustia was at 85.24% translated with Eustia's chapter was fully translated and currently they working on the side stories with the current progress was at 4.233% translated. For the last news we have Nekonyan did release patch 1.1 for Aokana in which it's add the additional feature, namely voice bookmark. While this feature is more or less just interesting but not necessary add on to me, it's still nice that Nekonyan add it to Aokana here so at east Aokana player can save some of their favorite voices if they want to. More importantly, this also shown that Nekonyan here manage to deliver their promise from this Kickstarter update, which is very good. Speaking about Aokana, recently we hear that sprite just sort of revive and currently gathering their employee in order to apparently continuing their stalled EXTRA 2. I don't know if Aokana overseas sales help a lot in regard of their revival or not, but nonetheless congratulation to them for their revival. That's all for this week and sorry if it's quite short at this week. See you next week. PS - For the title, it's simply based on two Alices in Taisho Alice and what they called in the new translation (Alice (The main hero) and Arisu (The female MC)). Or if you want a comparison, basically it's like Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie except with less assassinate each other.
  24. Unless it's kinetic or have a very easy choice, I'll use it. And yeah it's my habit that I always search the walkthrough when I'm about play a VN, and save it in the VN folders.
