There's nothing wrong with reading/playing Visual Novels/Eroges being a hobby and such. despite being story driven and text heavy, Visual Novels are still technically videos games. Life itself does not have a meaning and having hobbies such as reading Visual Novels helps pass the time and alleviate our boredom. Wow your willing to learn a new language just to play VN? Whoa such overflowing passion is somehow unheard of and rare to find these days. I used to be like that in the past, however circumstances somewhat made me jaded about life itself and I just lost my luster in general.

Looks interesting! Hope they'll release more of their games in GOG!

Try Sorcery Joker Perhaps you'll like it since you played Tsukihime and Fate Stay Night which are action oriented Visual Novels... Also for games similar for Oreimo, try Love Sweets and Uchi no Kanojo That's the only stuff which comes to mind.... There might be others which are better but I don't know... Welcome to the Fuwanovel Club by the way!

Started playing VenusBlood Hollow International which is my first Venusblood game to play in the series. for an Visual Novel SRPG, the gameplay aspects of it is pretty deep and engaging! It even rival in terms of greatness to that of Rance Games! Took 2 weeks for me in clearing the chaos route of the game and now playing on my second playthrough! One of the best Visual Novel SPRG I ever played! Such a blast to play despite its difficulty hahahah!

Welcome to the club!

Pretty nice artwork! The girls looks gorgeous! Wish you the best in your endeavors in creating your dream VN!

Hmm... Trying checking out Little Witch Romanesque. It has a high fantasy settings with magicks and swords. The protagonist is a ArchMage or ArchWizard of sorts... Tasked with raising 2 troublesome cute girls into full fledged wizards. No Magic Academy sadly. Only a Ancient Tower...

Sorry couldn't provide one, its was a very long time ago I stumble upon it by accident while reading some dozen of articles about Chris Avellone scattering in the Internet. I tried finding it but all I can find nowadays are articles of Sexual Misconduct or Sexual Assault about Chris Avellone. Well I don't really care if Chris Avellone is a womanizer or something as long as he still writes RPG games and stuff. Creatives like him tend to be crazy one way or the other...

Heh.... if only life were easy... You cannot have everything in life, its the same to games. that's why we play many different games to fill that gap Western game Writers like Chris Avellone excel in World Building and actual game lore, Whereas Eastern/Japanese game Writers shines on characterization, that's the reason why they always include cute girls in their games, each with unique varying personalities. heck even Chris Avellone admits at some point that he incorporates some eastern writing style in creating his characters on a RPG. try playing king of dragon pass, then compare it to a typical visual novel/eroge. you'll understand...

Yeah an VN RPG hybrid maybe. I think he won't go out of his way to make a VN, what do you like most in a VN anyways? the setting or the characters?

Planescape Torment in VNDB?! The Hell?! Really?! Is that for real?! Never heard of that until now lol! And here I though most VN/Eroge readers/players are anime weebs who just transitioned to playing/reading anime games. Glad to know I was wrong lol! Anyways... Planescape Torment, despite being a RPG, it has less combat and you'll spend most of the time reading. I think Planescape Torment is the game that solidified Chris Avellone being a great writer in the CRPG community making himself a name. It's one of the few games in its time that is narrative heavy. It even rivals Baldur's Gate in scope of its writing. however Baldur's Gate is tons much more fun to play than Planescape Torment, since its not successful financially but it does have a cult classic status. of all the Infinity Engine games, Planescape Torment is the only game that I wasn't able to complete since its too much narrative heavy for my liking as a kid back then, and I'll rather read an actual book than read stuffs on the PC not that I hate reading... Planescape Torment lacks character customization which is such a let down, that's why prefer playing Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale series any time of the day. A great CRPG should be balanced containing decent amounts of both gameplay and narrative. having too much of the other only makes an CRPG dull and boring... Hmm... too bad Chris Avellone is no longer with Obsidian Entertainment due to personal differences. nevertheless he still works as a freelance writer. he even wrote stuffs for Pathfinder Kingmaker and its upcoming sequel Wrath Of The Righteous. I think he also wrote some stuff and design some levels in Wasteland 2. Such a great guy! So Planescape Torment the only game from Chris Avellone that you've played so far?

Whoa! While I might not recognized the other writers, You mentioned just Chris Avellone among them. That guy usually only write stuffs for RPGs! Have you played the Infinity Engine games, Pillars of Eternity, Or Pathfinder Kingmaker by any chance?

Heyya there! Welcome to the club!

Little Witch Romanesque It's one of the best raising VN sims out there in English and this is where Long Live The Queen got the idea in addition to the Princess Maker Series. Some people say its even better than Princess Maker but you'll be the judge of that! Shining Song Starnova Shining Song Starnova: Idol Empire Since they are all about idols and stuffs Beat Blades Haruka Beat Angel Escalayer R They kinda feel like a simulation of sorts and an raising sim when you play them despite being an RPG... You can also find other titles in VNDB https://vndb.org/g40

I also chose Moonstone in the survey as I kinda hoping for them to localized Sakuranomori Dreamers 2 then also added Innocent Grey since I want Mangagamer to localized the third Kara No Shoujo title. these are the titles that I've choose. Sakuranomori Dreamers 2 Caucasus ~Nanatsuki no Nie~ Kara no Shoujo - The Last Episode As for a particular developer... Hmm... maybe Ricotta

Greetings and welcome to the club!

Well I suppose their 18+ VNs are nothing special... Remember playing the original Fate/Stay Night centuries ago and the H scenes was kinda dull and voiceless... The art was okay... Here's hoping they'll released a PC version somewhere along the lines.

Hmm... So no PC version which kinda sucks and this is going to be all ages since its going to be released on consoles right?

Greetings and welcome to the club!

Hmm... If you want Comedywise VNs/Eroges, I could list a few although I'm not sure if they're decent in the Storywise department. All I can say for certain (in my case) that is you'll surely laugh a lot once you get to play these VNs/Eroges Lamunation! My Girlfriend is the President and the Fan Disc too! Manken! Riddle Joker is also kinda entertaining to read and the story is decent enough I suppose...

I’ve Just Finished Watched Oregairu Season 3. One of the finest anime series I had the pleasure of watching for quite a long time. The anime’s title My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected is very deceiving. I remember a long time ago I watched the anime’s first season somewhere around in 2014 expecting it’s a generic high school comedy romance. Instead I got something else… Social Commentary about life in general, youth, ideals, expectations of society, superficiality, codependent, social suicide, and many more. Perhaps words are not even enough to describe what this anime is all about. I could really much relate to the main protagonist of the series, “Hachiman Hikigaya” since I’m also a loner or an outcast of sorts. Despite being just a slice of life high school anime. It’s filled with subtext to the brim that I have to rewatch a particular episode just to understand it. You won’t get the full picture if you just passively watch it like normal animes. Then at long last, the series ended on its third season. The conclusion was very beautiful and very satisfactory! I couldn’t ask for a more fitting ending… Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita finally become a couple! I’m happy for them, still it’s kind of sad to see Yui Yuigahama heartbroken due to this turn of events. Well it was quite a blast! A pity like all good things must to an end… Hope they’ll localized the VNs of the anime so we can play them in English and in PC since its only available in consoles!

Littlewitch Romanesque: It's about raising two witch apprentices, it has many routes and how you trained you're 2 apprentices greatly affects their future whether they fail in life or succeed... That's Impactful enough I suppose... Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- Well... This VN is popular for a reason. why don't you go check it out!

Say what you will regarding the leaker's motives, for good or ill. Thanks to his actions, we get to see the inner working of Mangagamer Staffs on what they really think about the Visual Novels/Eroges they translate and their fans in general. So what if it is a private matter? The fact still stands that Mangagamer Staffs despises their own fanbase. Period... I'll think twice of supporting a company with this kind of mindset. Are you alright with that or are you somewhat condoning their actions? Perhaps you only care about the Visual Novels/Eroges they published? Mangagamer could only operate as it is by exploiting passionate and underpaid translators. The method of enabling them to published VNs every month is somehow questionable, however I suppose they're above it as long as they achieve their quota. Most of their titles in the past consist of mostly nukige shit, their taste in titles selection somehow improved when they started to publish story driven VNs such as Kara No Shoujo. I admit I have a rather soft spot for JAST USA since their games are the ones that help me discover the VN world in the first place. The only fault I find in them is as you mentioned which is their slow rate of publishing VNs. What do mean by Kimikoi? I was shock to see that otome lol? You should have just said Totono to avoid confusion XD Let's just agree to disagree since the advent of the Internet Age. Truth itself is now a rare commddity these days and Fake News is the norm. I chose that website out of convenience as its rather tedious to find reputable sites as reference and most them has the same content. In the end I didn't realize how dark the VN translation industry is... If there's one thing that Mangagamer does right, is by bringing their games to GOG.COM! I'm willing to forgive or even overlook their exploitation practices if they bring all of their Steam Catalogue to GOG.COM! As what can we do anyway? We're just speck of dust in the grand scheme of things....
