Suzu Fanatic Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 So, after reading "Cruso had it easy" - felt like something similar to it. Ended up with Imouto paradise... God, what a mistake.... so many times I've wanted to punch my screen... Does anyone actually "read" this VN? Or do they just skip to the good parts? It's so painful... Don't get me wrong, I went in knowing full well what kinda VN it is, but the complete and utter lack of concerns (zero fucks given), and how readily accepted his cheesy advances are - is actually more of a turn off then it is a turn on. I guess I like it when there's some semblance of understanding that "they are going against sociatal norm". With how it is right now, they might as well be strangers, because "Imouto paradise" loses all meaning when there's no sense of taboo. But maybe I'm weird for thinking like that. Doesn't help the protag is a total derp with his "humor". Quote

IP I'll likely slog through for the Imouto goodness. you should "read" dual phase to really understand what a bad vn is Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote

As for dual phase...been there, done that - washed my eyes out with bleach. why oh why must the already rare sister on sister incest VNs be completely freaky and wierd? why can't at least one be something half normal?

Now, if someone made a nice, "normal"(albeit painfully stupid) Imouto paradise, that was YURI based, man, I'd pay good money for that. call my tastes softcore, but i'll take that over some of the dank stuff I've seen out there...

Well, the newest Sonohana have sister+sister incest if you are interested in that, though I didn't read that yet so I'm not sure if it's any good, but it's SonoHana, so it could be boring or meh, but at least shouldn't be anything hardcore Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote

bogdankl Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 all i will say is that the "Muu--" is real, and it's a diabetes inducing level of sweetness, also this route reminds me of Sachi's route in grisaia Quote
Funyarinpa Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Still reeling from finishing YU-NO, I don't think I will start anything. I will be dedicating the last week of my summer holiday to the guitar, reading two school-assigned books, Soul Sacrifice and Ocarina Of Time. Quote
Suzu Fanatic Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Dropped Imouto Paradise. Just couldn't stomach it - not even cute imoutos can save it. Now, let's see if I can find a vn where the mc doesn't make me want to kick puppies~ Quote
AaronIsCrunchy Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Just finished my first otome, 'Cute Demon Crashers' (https://vndb.org/v17210). As a story, I'll confess it was crap (or at least, 90% of the middle was inconsequential fluff that doesn't contribute to anything) but it was nice in that way at the same time. I also vastly preferred the H-scenes to almost any VN I've read so far - the focus on the more emotional, sensual side of sex was soooo much better than 'and then we did it in like, 50 holes, and I shot a load that could fill a shot glass every single time'. Really got to get round to finishing eden* soon, otherwise Sekien no Inganock will arrive in the post and I won't for aaaages. Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote

Fred the Barber Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Finished Sekien no Inganock for the August reading club about a week ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Now I'm wondering at the lack of a September reading club vote... In the meantime, in keeping with my recent habit of alternating between serious and light-hearted games, I started playing Majikoi (being merely half a year behind the hype train on playing a VN is actually better than my usual rate). I finished Miyako's route earlier today (because I couldn't not immediately go after the girl with the hilarious sign). Not planning on doing her after story, as I expect it's just an excuse for more H scenes? Probably Chris's route next, since Miyako's route left me with fond thoughts of Chris; Wanko is the closest to my "type", but I'm saving that route for later, since I hear it's the most feelsy route. Thoughts so far: - Art (both sprites and CGs) and character design are excellent, and the style is immediately familiar and appealing (in contrast with, say, Sekien no Inganock, which was also excellent, but which took some getting used to because of the style). - Music is very good. The happy poppy daily life tracks remind me of similar tracks in Persona soundtracks, which is high praise from me. - Characters are clearly not intended to be believable, and they aren't, but nonetheless they are amusing and interesting. I find the characters here have a little more depth to them than I am used to seeing from a VN which is not focusing on drama and interpersonal tension as the main driver (I'm thinking of this as mostly a comedy) - The H scenes are a bit excessive for my taste (in number [or really density; they seem to pack them all right in a row] and length, rather than in content), but what can you do. - Overall, it comes off as a very high quality VN (you might even call it premium, if for some reason you didn't hate Kosugi); I'm glad to be playing it, and looking forward to the rest!

the_dive Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Finished One ~To the Radiant Season~. I gotta say... The plot feels AWFULLY familiar. Disappearing protag who appears again several months later... Well, at least the circumstances were different but I still feel as if its too similar. Pretty good, well aside from having the worst heroine to ever appear in a VN. *cough*Shiina*cough* Not a strong nakige if you've read anything else by Key. Gonna read Never 7, Ever 17, and Remember11 next. Edit: By the way, can any of ya'all fine people upload soundserver.dll for Never7 if you got it? Fuwanovel download link to it is broken. Quote

Turnip Sensei Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I started playing Fukai ni Nemuru Oujo no Abaddon. When I randomly tumbled upon it, I just knew I had to play it. I mean, it's like corpse party, but there's also H-scenes and other fucked up stuff it allows. I read through the prologue, and it was pretty interesting. I like the retro art style and exploration is fun as well. There's also combat, but I didn't get experience it properly yet. The horror suffers a little because of my clumsy Japanese, but the feeling of tension that comes from unpredictable horrors is still there. It helps that the text is pretty much only hiragana, although it took some time to get used to the retro font. I have yet to see anything really scary or messed up, but I figured it would be best to take only girls to my party. My (morbid) curiosity is killing me and I just can't wait to see what this game has to offer. It's been a while since I was this exited about a VN. Chronopolis and XReaper 2 Quote
PancakeWild Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Currently playing Grisaia no kajitsu, Kamidori Alchemy Meister and Steins;Gate. I also recently finished Higarashi when they cry, and Sengoku Rance. Sorry for any spelling errors. :3 Quote

Sorry for any spelling errors. :3 That's quite the thick list - I'm the sort that can only read one vn at a time, or else I feel like I lose some of the atmophere from it if I switch between them. Those are all some really good titles though (even alchemy meister - though, more for the gameplay then the story ) Quote
