What are you playing?

[+StrikeR+]

Continuing Virgin Road myself (did the first part of Ai's route which was fun), i now started Azusa's route, and to my surprise suddenly it became a discussion about Nato, and Nato Komachi lol.

[Ranzo]

So I finished Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People and I really liked it. I really loved the setting and the amount of world building that went into the city. You just don't see that kind of effort put into a visual novel so I appreciated it. The final confrontation was a bit meh and so was the ending. Overall, I really liked it. Ati is bae.

This song I felt was fitting for the ending

 

[Weiterfechten]

So I finished Rin's route in Sakura no Uta. It certainly was more interesting, in my opinion, than Toritani's (explaining some of the backstory of the main characters) however, perhaps I didn't like Rin's character very much and that is why, but still I felt like the Rin's character's story was not capturing me (the main plot felt, well, somewhat shallow). Though, frankly, the game has already a pretty high bar set with some truly interesting characters like Naoya (whaaaat? An interesting protagonist can such a thing exist?) and Kei.

It will be interesting to see where the story goes next now that some of the main plot points have been explained.

I am reading Hatsukoi 1/1 and Magical Marriage Lunatics.

However I am going to pause both of them. Because they are both just cute Visual Novel. There isn't a character development, both MC are just standard.
No story and even the drama is just boring.

Now I am going to read Rewrite because I want to read Lucia's route  

[Dreamysyu]

So, I finished Cinderella Phenomenon about a week ago... And, you know, I don't really have much to add to what I said in my previous post. It's a good VN, and I never really felt like I was bored reading it. The writing does seem a bit questionable at times (well, it is an amateur-made VN), but if you are interested in an otome VN with good characters and a nice storyline, inspired by many famous fairy tales, definitely give this a try. It's the second one I tried reading, and while the first one was mostly a miss, this VN did increase my interest to the genre. And it's free, you know.

The score stays at 8/10.

Is Hatsukoi really that boring? I was thinking about picking that up.

Well I hope you enjoy Rewrite, Lucia's route truly is spectacular!

I just read Maya's and Mirodi's route so far.

Maya's route is really cute. The drama was.... okay (?)
MC is really boring, typical standard school Protagonist but a little bit hetare sometimes. 

Midori is also cute but her route is boring, if you like her then maybe you will love her route. But the drama was forced...

IMO it's really boring, the Protagonist isn't really something special, there isn't a really good story. 

if you are looking for a good romance/drama VN then don't read it. If you liked Noble Works and love vanilla stuff, then maybe it's something for you.

I love Romance VN with good drama or a interesting story. But Hatsukoi 1/1 is just a romance & SoL VN. 

Furthermore my problem was that the drama wasn't interesting. Even Princess Evangile and Chrono Clock have a better drama and story. 
(I almost cried in Michiru's and Kuro's route in Chrono Clock)

To sum it up:
Bad drama, cute girls, a lot of vanilla stuff, Protagonist is boring and stupid, the story isn't interesting  

 

Thanks, hopefully Lucia's route is great

This is a good way of summing it up. It does have some good qualities (the music isn't bad, the CGs are pretty nice, and the art is really nice) so if you want something more relaxing it's worth a read, but the MC's stupidity does let it down and the drama also feels forced in some of the routes. Maybe if you do the route of the heroine you like most?

Arg that's like everything I don't want in a Visual Novel especially the stupid protagonist, but I'll at least give it a try and see how much I can stand.

Fuck both Tsujidou and Hatsukoi both lay into how painfully average and ordinary their mcs are! Like right out the gate!

Like, what is this shit?

Honestly though there's not a bad route in Rewrite, I'd say it's probably the best Key vn I've played so far.

Me too... 

I read koichoco before I started with Hatsukoi 1/1. To be honest I liked KoiChoco more than Hatsukoi. 

However I hate that in Hatsukoi and KoiChoco isn't a route for the teacher... I liked the Teacher in Hatsukoi and seriously I can't understand why they didn't make a route for her. She is a good character... I was dissapointed

Nonetheless I hope tsurezurescans will translate Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai. It's a lot better than Hatsukoi.... Better and really good MC but he isn't a Kazami Yuuji ofc. Better Heroine's, story, drama and satisfying endings. That's something for me. 

I actually would recommend you to read Chrono Clock it's better than Hatsukoi but a little bit short.

Hopefully the MC in Rewrite is better... I don't need another boring and standard MC.

Well, I actually read the Heroine's route that I like at the most (Maya and Midori). 
Like I said before, it's like Noble Works...(and I dropped Noble Works...) Too much light-hearted and forced drama. It's a good VN to relax but for someone who wants a good romance VN with an interesting story or good drama, I wouldn't recommend it. Furthermore the Protagonist is really standard, stupid and so boring, that you lose your motivation to read it.
However I will read Kyou's route when I am bored.

Well, he may not be the most original MC ever, but imo he's pretty entertaining and doesn't appear as a total idiot, at least.

[FatEdenshaw]

Right now I'm playing Maji de watashi ni Koi Shinasai. Have finished Miyako - Mayucchi and yesterday Chris routes.

This game is truly SoL heavy + set in high school + shounen elements so in other words not my cup of tea however I really like the characters and setting and find the comedy really funny for the most part. Really like this game overall. 

Miyako and Mayucchi routes were really great however I felt Chris's route wasn't as good. Truly slow pacing for my taste and too little of interest happening. Also how Yamato "gets with" her is truly stupid and creepy.

 

Still would recommend the game so far. I usually hate the high school "drama" and setting and comedy in anime is usually abyssmal in my opinion but even so I love this game.

Thank you. 

I actually changed my mind. I will read Rewrite later in my summer holidays because it's a long VN and I need a different type of genre now. Otherwise I will get a burnout because of too much SoL^^
Therefore I am going to read........................... CLICK

My heart is beating like crazy *-* I actually wanted to wait till JAST release the 2nd part. But I can't wait anymore

In regard of Tsurezure to be honest seeing that there's no word from them, I afraid that right now they too busy so much that they didn't have time to translate HatsuKoi append disk, and therefore the chance of Hoshiori translated is being slim. I hope that I was just being paranoid here and we'll get Hoshiori translated.

About JAST if anything at least we should praise their meticuluousness in regard of their VN releases most of the time, although whether it's good or not for the VN fans I can already guess the answer. By the way their current lineup is quite laughable compared to Sekai. I also look forward to Flowers Summer as well, but apparently I need to wait more for that.

Yeah you are a bit paranoid, haha. --> CLICK

Well, I am happy that we have some new informations.

Thanks for the info there, and yeah I admit that I was quite anxious with the lack of update from Tsurezure.

As for the title, right now I'm played more Fureraba and almost finished with Rinarin's (Rina) route - it's quite fun. For the next plan it'll be Yuzuyu's and finally Misakichi's route.

[Ranzo]

So I'm playing Hatsukoi and it's alright so far but my God it's like attack of the childhood friends up in here!

"I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so," "I've known you forever so,"

Other than that it's not that bad and I like both the red haired girl and the brunette

Kyou is nice and which brunette? Maya or Yukino? 
I don't like Yukino (childhood friend). Maya is awesome best character ^-^

I am reading Flowers and seriously I love it
Already some Yuri-stuff in the first minutes: 

Ah, my yuri heart is beating fast ^-^

I am really excited. Nice OST, beautiful Art and character design.

Oh it's Maya most definitely, I love a woman that's a tease. Yeah, Flowers is pretty dope, especially the art. The soundtrack got kind of repetitive though unfortunately.

I finished the Fate route in F/SN.

Spoiler

Quite sad, isn't it?   Farewells man... they always hit me hard.

And thanks to Japan for making a waifu out of King Arthur. I will never be able to read arturic myths without thinking of Saber ever again. 

 

So ok, if I'm understanding this correctly, the next route is UBW and is focused on Rin, and HF is focused on Sakura, correct? Well, let's see what it's awaiting next.
