FinalChaos Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Regarding the euphoria route order; I would not recommend reading Nemu und Kanae last.Reading Kanae immediately after Nemu will make the first half of Kanae's route look like a redundant copy of Nemu's. Also, Rika's route is a pretty bad introduction to the "second half" of the novel. It does not get the pivotal point of the story across.I recommend doing Nemu's route first. It has the best introduction to the second half and ends with a profound cliffhanger. (I like to think about Nemu's and Kanae's routes as the framework of the story, embedding everything else.)The other three routes before the true one are essentially filler material. Rinne has the most story, Rika and Natsuki are not as important. Rika is a good light read after Nemu. Then get yourself some story again with Rinne's route. It also has Rika, so it's perfect after that. Even though Natsuki's route isn't as story-heavy as Rinne's, it's more important for the true end. So best read immediately before Kanae.For the best reading experience, my recommended route order for euphoria is: Nemu --> Rika --> Rinne --> Natsuki --> Kanae.I think i'll go with your recommendation.

Bastian77 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 So I just started playing Eden* because I wanted to read something short after Baldr Sky.Thanks so much Ariurotl! Ariurotl 1 Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 glhf Final, I honestly wouldve given euphoria an 8/10 if the common route had 25 rounds instead of 5 and only Nemu + Kanae routes #reversehype, u should be fine Quote
Zantax Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Astralair. Finally finished Korona route.Well, route itself was OK-ish. Some somewhat reasonable plot, a bit of romance, nice closure. But the epilogue? The hell was that? Did the writer realised that there was not enough shitness in that route compared to others and decided to throw a huge pile of dung at least to the epilogue?Just... Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Sorry Zen-kun but I still feel like knocking out a few smaller VNs so I'm taking on Sekien no Inganock + Shikkoku no Sharnoth@Decay, advice please Quote

Dergonu Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Well I came down with a cold yesterday and have been stuck at home all day. Started playing Princess evagile after taking a small break from tick! tack! Ended up loving it and I´m now on chapter 12 in one play session x_X When I looked up from the screen just now I swear I saw Rise standing in my room. (Think thats my queue to stop playing) Anyways, yeah like I said I really like it so far. Its light and a little predictable, but still keeps me laughing. Really like the goofy comedy and ... colorful characters. Looking forward to the routes. Gonna do Rise first, (giggity), cuz pink hair = instant win. (Though Chiho comes in close second because... twintails!) Quote
Deep Blue Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 currently im playing katawa shoujo ks I wish I could play this vn again for the first time Quote
Decay Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 From what I've heard, the reading order doesn't really matter all that much. Inganock is the first, Sharnoth is the second, and Gahkthun is the third, if you really want to read them in order. I think there are a few more in the Steampunk series, but I don't think they're TL'd yet. I found Inganock a little hard to read, though, which is why I still haven't finished it yet. Might just be me and my preferred style of writing, though. It's definitely worth a read, from what I did read.In terms of overall series release order, Inganock is second, Sharnoth is third, and Gahkthun is sixth. But yeah, the other three aren't translated yet. Quote
Satsuki Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 As expected(?), Samoyed Smile did a pretty bad job with their debut title Samidare Growing Up. Copy-paste scenario, lazy drawing, dramas get solved way too easily (almost like those axed manga). Welp, time for some Koikata. The trial was kinda nice, hope that they can keep it up in the full game. Quote
Deep Blue Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I played like an hour or so of Schwarzesmarken is actually really good, the production value is fucking high even more than alternative, it's like watching an anime I just wished that the first part(the whole historical explanation) was subtitled Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 After many, many hours of internal debate I decided I want to have a female protagonist for once and so Shikkoku no Sharnoth it is.Though I'll probably end up reading both and seeing which one hooks me in more, my biggest problem with VNs lately is getting into them ._. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 my biggest problem with VNs lately is getting into them ._.You mean that incredibly long period of nothingness at the beginning of most VNs doesn't generate universal excitement? This is my surprised face Rose 1 Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 depends, some VNs get into the action right away and hook me in faster ie. euphoria, others like KnS2 i wouldve quit on the spot if it wasnt for the sole fact that it was KnS, but man it took me like 3 days of couple hour readings to knock out that prologueswan song kinda had to set up its apocalyptic setting asap so that was easy to get into too Quote

(Though Chiho comes in close second because... twintails!) Character-wise, Ayaka's the best girl but Ritsuko has the most satisfying plot. Those Kitamikado sisters are great.But if you have access to W Happiness and know Japanese, Mitsuki is easily the best. Princess Evangile is one of those very few "better than run-of-the-mill" kind of moege games. It's not just cute girls trying to sleep with the protag and each heroine have their own story and drama.

Wonderfullyevil Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 ^finally, someone else who can appreciate the purple that is Mitsuki ~~FUUUUUUH Mary, why must you have Yukari's voice??!!! Her VA apparently voiced a whopping 446 characters including repeats, and I see alotta other familiars, damn.kawashima rino is p. kewl at least.prolly the only eroge VA I will remember because she's everywhere lolsharnoth's probably my favorite VN so I hope you enjoy itespecially the 10/10 god-given minigameanyway a large part of why sharnoth's cool is its writing style, but the TL doesn't carry it over all too well. listening to the voices, however, are really fun due to the poetic way they narrate/speak. my suggestion would be to listen more than read Eclipsed 1 Quote
Vokoca Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Finished Arimura's route in Chaos;Child. Save for the hilarious delusion triggers (unlike C;H, they exist pretty much solely for over the top humour here... and hidden flags that are never explained), it was nothing special. That is, until the ending came. Oh boy, was the ending cool, it was almost like it was written for me. C;C seems to have a knack for endings so far, though a lot of it just has to do with a certain someone that just pulls at all my hype strings. The only downside to this is that if that certain someone isn't the subject of the true route, I will lose my shit. Quote
Eclipsed Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 anyway a large part of why sharnoth's cool is its writing style, but the TL doesn't carry it over all too well. listening to the voices, however, are really fun due to the poetic way they narrate/speak. my suggestion would be to listen more than readcan confirm, i passed my settle down hurdle already, there's just something very charming about the dialogue, and Mary's analytical narrative internal monologues are indeed a pleasure to listen toor maybe its the heterochromia..
