In Clockup's words, as seen in Eroge (the game by that name), "the goal of an eroge is to make the player fap as much as possible". In order to do so, some liberties are taken.

How do you get those games? Importation, right? Because I don't think they sell such games in the West, even in the virtual store.

As long as Idea Factory stands, there will be games for the Vita. There's also a lot of dungeon crawlers and assorted RPGs. Like Trillion, Criminal Girls 1+2, Operation Abyss 1+2, Akiba Trip, etc. Some of them are being ported to PC but then, some aren't.

Is this the long-awaited prequel to "Remembering how we met"? I supported that other game, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable. Just cutesy and all.

Muv-luv?

2 is If my heart had a good translation again.

Unexplained magic saves your true waifu. Because if not I would ask for my money back.

If my heart had a good translation.

Yup.

And another: You rape women, but it's not so bad. It turns out it REALLY is bad later.

Here goes: The workplace with the most sex you'll get. They do programming... mostly. They don't have a penny either.

Sutainzu Geeto obviously

Stories are stories however, if it's a good story it can be liked by girls and boys both. Even though, the portion of VNs that are story-focused is indeed small.

They're like Galician "meigas" (witches), they exist, they exist.

I've been awaiting Amagami since 2013. About time it happens for real. Though it's more feasible by 2019. Maybe I'm a madman but I want to play Rihoko.

I was also thinking of Botan... even though I first saw puchiguso way before him.

By the way... Are puchiguso Dot Hack's brand of chocobos? Even though they're different.

Dot Hack was cool back in the early 2000s. I was there, though I didn't have a Playstation 2. About my previous statement... I liked the anime ride of Steins;Gate, I guess you have problems understanding the thing about "Explanation". It's a track that I like a lot in the VN but in the anime it suffered a quality downgrade, it doesn't sound as cool. There are instances of VNs with cool soundtracks that when made into anime they lose their coolness.

Steamspy reports around 2,000 copies of Libra sold. So, it looks like divine justice fell upon them.

I agree on Dal Segno. Very... very boring. And moe in a bad way. It has to be some major shit for me to think of dropping it... so far I've dropped a few novels, the ones that feel cringey... and they were not major works. Normally I read a novel thoroughly, and yes I do read moege and look forward to some H-scenes, it's not because of that that I feel a game is cringey. Also there's the rare case where some honestly good routes get mixed with boring, meh, or facepalm-worthy routes (Crescendo).

Even if it's all just fantasy, American pipe dreams seem closer to us than Japanese ones. Also your disdain of all things American shows. Maybe 4leaf were all useless hacks, but the game isn't half bad, like you yourself point out.

Things like Katawa Shoujo do it better. And that's because Katawa doesn't have to move between the usual Japanese tropes.

It stemmed from videogames, one day in 2011 I was checking a download blog that I had seen in an IT course (recommended by one of the teachers), and came across a game called "Shira Oka: Second Chances". I more or less knew what dating simulators were, having a mostly bad opinion of them ("geez, they're pathetic works for hopeless people"), but the thing is I tried the game and, though it dragged, I completed all routes. That brought some sense of accomplishment, as well as burnout, so I'm not touching a true dating sim again... but in the process I got to know about this site called Renai.us and checked out some of the games. Funny fact: I called visual novels "ren'ai games" back then. Apparently I thought only romance games were available. My first Japanese-made visual novel was Yukizakura, in 2012 I think, and I dropped it before completing it because it felt too cringey (that game has serious quality imbalance between routes and heroines. Maybe it's just my tastes). I capitalised on the fact that in that time, new novels were being translated, such as Deardrops, Little Busters or Never 7, and tried them. All those three made me keep playing (you see how there's lack of sex in those? huh...), if it were for the likes of Wanko to Kurasou, I'd have stopped right there. Why did I jump so eagerly into visual novels? Because the job was done 13 years before by animu and manga. This is another medium in its own right, but feels like an extension of them as the tropes and themes are similar. But now, with English-original, and Korean-made and Chinese-made novels, that is expanding too. EDIT: My goodness, I forgot about my idyll with Katawa Shoujo and how I followed the development in late 2011 and were among the first people to download it in 2012... good times! I loved the game.

Chewy is sexy. Would have sworn it was Barney Stinson.

I see you got the same Humble Bundle as me, for 1 dollar. There's a reason it costs that much I figured you'd have Vallhalla, for some reason I don't like it as much as the next person, but it's rad. You've got Narcissu and Ame no Marginal for the depressing shit, Sakura for the low-key ecchi, a couple of well-known novels and some unknown to me. I'd say G-string or Grisaia, as I think they're the best quality you have there, but they're long. Depends on your available time, and if you wanna finish them soon or you want to spend more time with them. Maybe some Sakura games if you can really enjoy the cheesiness.
