I think that this is the best idea. I'm not a fan of VNs with a linear storyline with side endings unless the side endings are very long (like in G-senjou).

Sex scenes bore the hell out of me yet I always chose an eroge over an all-ages game when I have the choice. For some reason, romance-based games without sex scenes feel incomplete to me.

I love visual novels because you can read a story while listening to the characters' voices and hear music AND see images of what is happening. They're like movies and books combined. Visual novels are the best form of storytelling in my opinion.

Starry ☆ Sky ~in Spring~ seems the most light-hearted.

Still playing through Divi-Dead. It's pretty interesting and the atmosphere is really good, but being in Japan is too much of a distraction for me.

So adorable~ Hopefully there will be a translation seeing as a lot of people on here are interested in the game.

Waiting to be TL: too many to list. Waiting to be released: August releases all seem bad. Hoshi no Ne Sanctuary I guess.

MoeCureNet came out in English and Japanese the same day so I don't know if it counts, but it's pretty good. Sakevisual is a decent OELVN group.

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome! G-senjou is awesome, my #2 VN as well.

Haruhi Suzumiya. Everyone and their dog seems to like her and I cannot fathom why. She's the most selfish character in anime I've seen, not to mention her blackmailing the computer club and sexual harassment of Mikuru. And SHE NEVER LEARNS. SHE NEVER GETS SCOLDED FOR THE HORRIBLE THINGS SHE DOES AND THEREFORE SHE NEVER LEARNS.

What anime is this from? It looks adorable. It can be a reverse-harem story.

I LOVE the song "Sayonara" from the G-senjou no Maou soundtrack. In fact, that piece alone lead me to stay up late to finish Tsubaki's chapter, and cry during Kanon's chapter. And I know that I sound like a broken record with my endless praise for this game, but Saya no Uta. "Sin" is a peace that I've listened to over and over, and "Silent Sorrow" and "Song of Saya I" are beautiful as well. "Scare Shadow" is a great unsettling piece.

Hello and welcome!

Anyone who took the pro-police propaganda in G senjou no maou seriously would have a terribly warped view of the Japanese police, as the reality is far different: Japan is peaceful, safe and regimented not because of, but despite, the frequently disgraceful performance of its guardians. Individually, many Japanese police officers are honest and dedicated. But as an institution, the force they serve is arrogant, complacent and incompetent.

For example: I don't know about you, but I know for a fact that I wouldn't assume that the Japanese police are amazing and perfectly capable simply because a visual novel portrays them as such.

Funny to see how quickly this thread went from discussing government propaganda in VNs to arguing about global warming and disgusting food.

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome! I hope you enjoy playing VNs.

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome! I'm glad to see you liked Saya and G-senjou, those are two of my favorites.

Hello and welcome! You're one of the first people I've met who actually liked the first Muv-Luv game.

Because hentai are made for the sole purpose of fapping. You cannot compare them with "normal" anime, just like you cannot compare normal movies to pornos. I thought that I was the only one.

Thank you for your help Wahfuu! Now I know I'll definitely be playing this one.
