About to start Kei's route in Dies Irae. Kasumi's was okay at best, it had its moments, but i wouldn't really call it good

i'll go with translated (or soon to fully be) ones, assuming the majority of the userbase is not able to read japanese 1. Subarashiki Hibi -The best (soon to be) translated title, gives by itself a wide range of different experiences by being a complete thing at the same time- 2. Cross Channel -Even if the translation is apparently bad, there's still so much content to be found here. The best character study i laid my hands upon- 3. Muv Luv series -Second only to Cross Channel for character development (even though only Takeru is really well developed this time) and mixed with some strong plot and worldbuilding, to be compelling even if you don't value characters much (Alternative)- 4. Sekien No Inganock -Outstanding worldbuilding with scenic portions (apparently the translation ruined this too). Repetion makes this magic - 5. Forest -Arguably the most confusing and weird thing you will read in your life- 6. I/O -Arguably the second most confusing and weird thing you will read in your life, this time with really strong Ghost in the Shell vibes and all around strong worldbuilding- 7. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni series -Quite a good "deconstruction" of the mystery genre, if you want to say so. Prose falls short occasionally, but the amount of content is pretty overwhelming- 8. Rewrite -Terra is the babies' version of Cross Channel. Some parts of the game are compelling and rich in their own right- 9. YU-NO -The epilogue is really what i would call mindblowing and the point & click "minigame" for the first part of the game makes it exciting, to an extent. Not to mention it aged pretty well, considering how old is it- 10. Sharin No Kuni -Just a good story all around with a great plotwist-

yeah i like oldschool screamo a lot. Have you ever heard about Raein?

Im actually really curious about how vvav translated JW2 so i'm excited as you guys are that's not just an excuse to reread i swear.

Still reading Dies Irae I'm starting to grow accostumed to the writing style and it's going quite smoothly as a result

I'm not yet at that part, though the slice of life stuff was pretty chill even though it's so overcomplicated by SOL standards lmao (Shirou's scene more than anything) On the other hand, the prologue took me like forever. I think it was an hour and a half. Knowing a bit of German and Latin comes in handy in these cases

i'm attempting Dies Irae and it's going decently enough

Note that this is speculation and the way i interpret the story

I think i've read somewhere that there is someone unoffically translating it (take this with a grain of salt) but for the rest nothing has been announced

Baldr Sky because of its take on communication gap and the wonderfully detailed cyberpunk setting (and spoilers)

Reading Forest and it's even weirder than i was told it is

The end of Cross Channel
