This thread exists? And it's almost a year old!? Where have I been all my life!?

For the record, you download it off Steam. In case you can't find it.

Will psychological trauma be close enough?

Came across on reddit. Caren/10. Best girl.

Ah, in the case of Nakige Little Busters! is probably an amazing fit as stated there before. Umineko fits the mystery one beautifully in addition to being quite strong from the nakige perspective - some characters also fit the insane protagonist aspect, though it's debatable if the protagonist himself actually fits that. Certainly worth looking into. Anything by KEY is a good contender for a strong nakige.

That depends on if Nekigei is supposed to say Nukige (more or less games associated with sex primarily.) Unsure what Nekigei means outside of that. Sengoku Rance meets three out of four, lacking in mystery, though it's more gameplay heavy than most VNs. Cross-Channel has mystery to the moon and back and the protagonist is quite likeable as well. Those are the two that come to mind when those attributes are listed. Aside from that, throw Little Busters! in there - it doesn't really match up to any of the ones listed, but it's a strong game and works well placed in contrast with Rance and C+C. Throw it in for variety's sake.

Personal preference. Aside from just having it play better, your choice in music will help you connect to fans of a particular interest/style. It's best to have a following that grows that you connect well with than trying to go for mass appeal and coming out appealing to no one.

Congratulations. Your existence has been acknowledged. *waves* Welcome to Fuwa.

It would make things easier but more complex at the same time. At the very least it would give people the experience to do better, though the aftermath has potential to be confusing. As for Neo, firstly I'll apologize for how crazy recent stuff is, breakups are hard enough as-is. I'd cut off contact as-usual where others have said, block said people as well especially if they're effectively harassing you. Find something to occupy your mind with, I'd say. One route is to go for the kind of mind-blowing stuff that refuses to leave your mind, be it anime or VNs. Another is to go for something long that you can rush through something long that you can get through - Episode 8 of Umineko's VN was what I ended up turning to. There's also the whole argument of whether or not it's a good idea to jump right back into the dating pool, since someone may or may not be a bit unwell from the experience, but it's a more complicated subject than I can say to understand. Find something to occupy yourself, block off the exes/harassment agents if at all possible. Good luck.

I should probably be watching Love Live already. And with this, I am pleased that mine managed to avoid the cannon fire but annoyed that she was inconsequential enough to be ignored.

Fair enough. Just trying to get a bit of clarity I suppose.

How does it pertain to OELVN devs?

Probably won't end up donating as we're saving up at the moment, but do you care if I take this chance to ask what exactly the affiliate program is? Sanah's post just confused things a bit more and now I'm curious. (In addition I'm also curious to how much has actually been made so far, but that's most likely beyond my reach. xD

Am I the only one here who hasn't actually seen Love Live? I'm beginning to believe this might be the case.

Satisfying your nit-picky self is more about just writing and writing until you eventually look decent. Reading is important but getting words onto paper is even more so. http://www.writingexcuses.com/ Go here if you're looking for information. Get something on paper, then pass it around. See if they can identify your flaws, then work to correct them.

I'd say it's reasonable to try and build friendships. I'm the kind who prefers deeper connections as opposed to a lot of shallower ones, but you need to start at the shallow level for those deeper ones to grow. They're a result of interaction as opposed to just happening. See if anyone interests you, try interact with them and see how it works out.

Confession: My brother's text notification sound is the same as my new phone, and I'm afraid I'll miss something important because I'll assume it's his. I also forgot to show new posts and didn't see Zeno's new one. Q_Q

Well, as we're no doubt aware the internet is comprised entirely of romantically inept beings - if it goes to creeper status they've probably gone too far or have no idea what they're doing. Usually both. Anyway, welcome back! We hope you enjoy your stay.

Romance is usually complicated - in-general I'd go forward assuming she doesn't have feelings for you but try to search for possibilities anyway. Look for situations that theoretically have a positive result in the worlds where she both does and doesn't have feelings for you. And as Rain said, try not to tunnel vision. Keep looking for other avenues if at all possible.

Finding nice people is easy enough, just that most of them are male. ;-; Finding female nice people - not impossible, but all of them live in a far-off place. Sometimes I feel as if like-minded females in California just avoid everywhere I go for some reason. (obvious sarcasm) Q_Q

Unfortunately for me, gender is still the absolute block in making that choice. Location is also a factor.

But I think Flutterz is nice. ;-;

If I've had food poisoning before, I am thoroughly glad that I do not remember it. May your bathrooms RIP in peace.

Romance and dating in-general is something that isn't usually gotten right on the first try. There are so many different factors to keep track of that there's bound to be something you aren't quite too experienced at. In-general I'm still working towards figuring out how to meet people of the desired gender to begin with ;-;
