What are you playing?

[meru]

I just played through Analogue: A Hate Story (review here) and now I'm going back to Swan Song which I forgot about for some reason >_<

[hussien-11]

I'm going to start Sharin no Kuni, finally o_O

[suikashoujo]

I finally finished Muv Luv Alternative. I need something lighter after all that, so I'm playing My Girlfriend is the President.

The PTSD is strong in this one

Do you blame him!?

I don't. I blame the game. After the chomp I couldn't sleep at all ._.

Haha I wasn't that bad but that game has definitely scarred me mentally.

[Vokoca]

Welp, shit got suddenly real in AkaGoei.

I honestly didn't expect they'd kill off Akemi just like that. Sasuga Masaki. o.O

Liking it a lot so far, really curious where it goes from here. Still hoping Kaito gets to crush all the important people one after another by the end, that'd be great.

Yep, that's exactly the way I feel about it.

It just felt...weird, compared to the amount of realism in Grisaia. I heard that her route got retconned in Meikyuu, too, and if that's true, then I'll be extremely happy. Could someone confirm this? I'd really appreciate it, since Michiru's route is bugging me.

I'm planning on checking out Michiru's route after I finish up Akagoei, or just do it on the side, so I can tell you whether they did or not when I read it.

 

Though there are people who can confirm this much faster, obviously.

[BookwormOtaku]

Getting quite a few chuckles out of Mayuki's route in Comyu, enjoying it quite a bit more than Hisoka's route

I'm reading that too. It's quite good.

 

Nice! from the start you can tell that the main character is good hahaha ( Morita Kenichi ).

Juggling more and more VNs. Swapping between Sharin no Kuni, If my heart had wings, Dracu Riot, and watching Ren and Meph's Cocoro@function stream 

 

This guy has done the right thing.

Okay, thanks!  Yeah, I know some people around here have already played through it, I just don't remember who has  :/

Her route has the same thing in her after story, though its not nearly as dramatic and Yuuji isn't nearly as much of a dipshit, its mostly just comedy and funtimes with Michiru. Grisaias main story (All things touched by Fujisaki) has it completely taken out IIRC.

[DimDito]

Nearly finished Grisaia no Kajitsu, going for Umineko no Naku Koro ni next.

Welp, I'm on to Yumiko's route, then gonna do Makina's, and that'll be all of Grisaia no Kajitsu.  Then I'll have the joy of waiting until Meikyuu is fully translated.  *sigh*  I might replay Sachi's route occasionally in the meantime, though.  That was my personal favorite so far  :3  Such a sweet good end.

You did Grisaia with the exact same order I did!

Most people say Makina has the best route. I'm still in the middle of it, but the beginning felt really sloow. Picks up about halfway through though.

In Japanese?

[Crimson]

Yeah, Makina's route was absolutely amazing. Yuuji was such a badass in this one and I found the Story to be very well written. I understand you haven't played Makina's route yet? You should definitely check it out then.

Which routes did he do? After a bit of searching, I know he's one of the "scenario" writers, but I couldn't find a list of routes he was in charge of writing. I'm assuming that he did Michiru's, judging from the context, right?

  Reveal hidden contents

No, he did: Amane, Makina, Their AF's, and the Grand Route of Meikyuu and Rakuen.

[Monmon]

I hate Makina,but love her route. My god, her voice so annoying sometime i wanna strangle her.

My fav route was amane though(Kazuki FTW), second was Yumiko(yes i know), third was Sachi.

[Zakamutt]

Grisaia's routes are extremely base-breaking. I personally thought Amane's route was second worst with Makina's route as the very worst. Doesn't mean they were bad, one of Grisaia's good points is its consistent quality. For Amane I was just unable to get into it during that segment (reading it stretched across like, four days probably didn't help.) As for Makina, it just didn't grab me that much either... but the worst was when the serious story was constantly interrupted by comedy segments with Julia and shit. Just completely ruined any mood buildup.

[Funyarinpa]

I finished the Demo of Exogenesis. I am really excited to see the rest of it!

 

Now I am going to play Narcissu from Steam and then I plan on reading Steins; Gate! (I am a beginner, so much to read!)

[Bolverk]

I ended up reading Ruitomo. Completed one route so far, I am enjoying it a lot. The prologue was the hardest part to understand of the vn. After that It became easier.

Really loving the artstyle, music, comedy. So far I am thinking of doing all the routes and then the fandisc afterwards.

But is her voice more annoying than Chinami's from HoshiMemo?  I swear to God, if I hear "Onii-chan, Onii-chan, Onii-chan!" one more time I'm going to go into berserker rage mode and punch a hole through my monitor.

I could say the same, but in respect to another girl. I'm talking about Sumika from Muv-Luv (Extra in this case), I'm going to punch through my monitor if I hear one more "Takeru-chan". But Chinami, I find her rather cute (well I just like imouto characters).

I have to disagree with that I thought her voice was very fitting and I didn't find it annoying, plus she had the best route imo

 

I had nightmares.

[p4izanagi]

currently playing Cocoro@Function after some hiatus from reading visual novel due to study . 

 

next game im gonna play is DA Capo III PP .

[Tawm]

I'm going to play through Swan Song.

I do hope it's light on the h-scenes, though.

 

Someone should tell Japan that one can tell a mature story without having 3 hours of moaning and slurping sounds to mosaic genitalia backgrounds.

[DimDito]

How many "Seed of the World Tree" chapters are there? Makina's route feels so long...

Speaking of Kazuki, I think she's one of the biggest badasses ever put on visual novel.

W- wha- ... Sumika is still the best girl for me.

 

Speaking of HoshiMemo, I felt like everyone was yelling in there. It was probably just because of how vocal Chinami and Asuho were, both of which could get annoying (though Asuho doesn't come nowhere near Chinami's annoyance level). Though I honestly don't mind these things much, what I do mind are these nonsensical imouto characters. Who comes up with this shit, seriously.

 

And Makina? Makina is amazing, period.
