Just focus on the main volumes. 0 and extra are short prequels with no H. You can do them later if you really love Nekopara for something other than the H I guess.

No one else have even voted for Coconut so far? Your taste sucks, guys. Coconut for life.

We have had to hide nearly a full page of posts derailing this thread. Please keep things on topic, and stop with the personal insults and such. If people can't behave, we'll have to close the thread.

Since you added in the "female protagonist" and "not pure porn" parts, finding something that fits is real hard, lol. The only game I can think of that fits nearly perfectly is Mugen Renkan tbh. Like Blitz mentioned, most of the taiman games should fit to some extent, though it's mainly porn. Kusari no Kankei fits, and does have drama and "story", though it's not for everyone. (It's a very very dark game.)

Hey, welcome! o/

Over my dead body!

Haha. I did have some interest in this, and did grab it, though I mainly only glanced through some of the H-scenes. It is like Clephas says, mostly a dark nukige. I don't really plan on reading the whole story tbh, as it doesn't interest me much. (Bullying themes can be handled well in certain games, but a game that is 100% about bullying isn't really my thing.) It has some amazing H-scenes and very good art. That much I can say, at least.

This is so true. I honestly feel like my translation speed has slowed down over time since I got into official translation, as I put a lot more effort into the work, which simply means I spend more time on each line.

I didn't see your post D: I bet you used a time machine to see my response, then went back and posted the same yourself!

Shoujo ai is a western thing. They don't use that in Japan. It's strictly a western term attatched to yuri without H/ stories with yuri undertones.

Yuri is definitely less popular in Japan. Like Kiri mentioned, most "yuri" fans in Japan see it as something pure and innocent, so titles like Flowers will be more popular than H driven ones. That being said, there is a market for H filled yuri games in Japan too, just a smaller one. You can tell by looking at the monthly eroge releases in Japan, tbh. A yuri game only pops up once in a blue moon. The only somewhat recent yuri game I can think of is the Kimihane sequel, which was meant to released this month, but is still stuck in delay hell. It was actually meant to be released last year but DELAYS, AHH!

I quite enjoy those types of dark themes in visual novels. Certain tags are definitely a refined taste, but you'd be surprised how many great games there are out there with those tags/ themes. Like Clephas mentioned above, Maggot Baits has a great story, but is also one of the darkest VNs I've ever read, with pretty much every messed up tag you can think of and more crammed in there.

OELVN devs, TL project leads etc can get access to the dev blogs to post updates, recruitment pages and so on. So, if more people ask for access to the blogs, they can use them for updates. The blog is dead because no one has posted any project updates in quite some time. If anyone wants access to the blogs, simply PM an admin, (it's possible global mods can add people too? Not 100% sure on that.)

What... w-why though? This makes no sense, lol. Glad I refunded my copy..,

I bought the game. It is true that there are people who didn't, though. That's all I'm saying. And seeing as the game has low sales, it kinda adds up, no?

I mean, if you tell them why you were displeased and that you won't buy the game because of that, and the game then sells badly, it's not hard to connect the dots. I agree that people should voice their concerns instead of protesting in silence, but people were very vocal about this, so that's hardly what happened here.

No, I never once said so. I said a lot of people voiced their concern about the censorship, and that among those people, there were some that said they weren't going to buy the game out of protest. I personally know some of these people. I'm sure this makes up some part of the lack of sales. Though, it certainly isn't the only reason. Still, definitely an issue worth addressing.

Mangagamer has localized several games with content other companies would censor without any issues. (Kuroinu, BBH, Maggot Baits, featuring everything from beastiality rape, loli rape, extreme gore and more.) Not to mention Fakku releasing an uncut version of Maitetsu. It's clear from these examples that other companies can release the uncut games just fine. Both JAST and Frontwing should learn from these examples, tbh... Hopefully people's complaints are heard, and they try to find a solution that other companies clearly already found.

Yes there was an unofficial patch. People still chose not to buy the game because of the censorship. It's not about being able to restore the content or not, it's about the fact that the censorship took place at all. I know for a fact that some people I know refused to buy it because of the censorship. You could also see several people state the same during the KS and Prefundia.

To be fair, the western release was censored, so many people probably chose not to buy it in protest. Yes, it was simply one CG and nothing more, but censorship is censorship. It's an important issue to many in this community.

Clock Up usually does a fantastic job of making their H a core part of the story. They are one of those companies that handle H very well. Based on the trial, I think Erewhon will be very good. Going to buy it in a few days myself.

If you want translated guro, Dustmania is like, the only one. For rape and other general dark content, Kuroinu is great.

Hibiki should be fine. Just keep it in a spoiler tag.

It's a big game and it has only one translator, so it takes time. It's worth the wait for sure though. Looking forward to reading it again myself.
