There is https://store.steampowered.com/app/464780/ChuSingura461_S/ which is imo a good novel but sadly has a terrible English translation. Edit: this also fits more or less https://store.steampowered.com/app/1066630/Master_Magistrate/ There are probably a couple more somewhere, but overall ye, I wish there were more of them

Hello everyone, Actually a long time lurker here, as I remember browsing Fuwa around 8-9 years ago, so sorry for late introduction. I played my first "big" VN at that time, it was G-Senjou no Maou (2011?), I think, maybe I played something smaller earlier but I don't remember. Out of all "otaku" media, I like VNs the best, but it's also very on and off hobby lol, sometimes I play 1 or even 0 VNs a year, sometimes many. In the early days it was often like this: "wow this game looks cool, can't wait to play it 4 years later (or never), after fan translation comes out" or "heyy can't wait for that muramasa release from JAST (xD)" Nowadays, there are a lot more english releases but now it doesn't matter much I guess, because I'm learning Japanese because of (but not only) those stupid porn games. Lately, I finished (not VNs, JRPG? whatever) Rance 01, 03 and 4, so this year I'm somewhat into VNs/JRPGs with VN elements again. Now I'm playing Chusingura46+1 Bushi no Kodou. Here's my vndb list, although it's not complete and dates are incorrect: https://vndb.org/u44878/ulist?vnlist=1 My favourite is probably Umineko but I never did any proper rankings in my head, so it's hard to tell. I find it funny how I ended up, considering I disliked any kind of "anime" artstyle when I was a kid... In my country I never met anyone who played VNs but I also never made any significant effort to find someone who does. In my experience, even for people watching a lot of anime or reading manga, VNs are somewhat obscure with exceptions like Doki Doki or something. All things considered, I will probably still rarely post there, but if the site ever dies and then, on a funeral you will see a stranger in a coat leaving some flowers on a grave, it's probably me... Cheers

It needs a patch yea, but I don't think you can say that it's "unacceptably outrageous state". Seems like an exaggeration? I mean I agree that it's baffling that there is no patch in sight but we had faar worse releases. It's not an excuse for them not to fix it though.

Most likely, actually was kind of surprised no one mentioned possible Alicesoft game in this thread, considering that Rance VI sold well, I think? That's what I hope for anyway.

Well, I just finished the game and will give some very short thoughts. Steam shows 56h hours after completion but like 2 hours was game running idle in background. Generally I think that Dies was worth the hype around it. The plot wasn't exactly mindblowing or something like that and I felt like pacing of some fights was off (sometimes characters talked too much but I guess it's kinda normal in this genre) but this VN has amazing and memoriable cast of characters. One of the best villians I would say. Worth to try, especially that common route is free.

Wow, it's actually out now. Though when you activate the keys it says "beta-testing". Don't know if it changes anything. edit: The tweets saying that it's out just got deleted? Nevertheless, there are still keys on the backerkit.

I pray for this week, as I have exams starting in the next one

IIRC in that mission you have to only take Sill (with Rance) to your party as it's a "date"

@Dexmael Read this qoute from alicesoft.wikia about calculator cube: Edit: Well, completion of 4 corners worked for me and I didn't have to do anything more. After every corner completed you are teleported back and after finishing all of them you should be notified about it.
