VirginSmasher Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I just finished reading Chuusotsu as my 75th overall read and it was great. It had really funny comedy, which was refreshing to see, great character interactions and dialogue, a lot of darker themes that were well-analyzed for how short the VN was, and a refreshing bit of no romance in a VN for once. Despite these, it did have a weird final act that was a little ridiculous to me and one issue, I felt they could handle better as I started sympathizing with the opposing viewpoint to what the VN wanted, but that's probably because of my viewpoint as a whole. Gave Chuusotsu an 8.2/10 and definitely recommend it to anybody who's looking for an SoL-based VN that's more than meets the eye and is hilarious as well. Canicheslayer and Plk_Lesiak 2 Quote
Turnip Sensei Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I was too pretty surprised how on point the humor in Chuusotsu was. The comedic timing is really good and I like how there is even witty retorts baked in to the narration itself. The more serious/darker parts are well done too. The setting is really interesting in a fucked-up way, and through that Chuusotsu has important things to say about having dreams and "what is expected of you vs. what you personally want". Plus I've been in very similar dark places as the protagonist Arue, so many of the themes hit very close to home. I'm very curious about the continuation.  Canicheslayer and Plk_Lesiak 2 Quote

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. Congratulations on finishing that first part! I think that's still my favorite route (though the other two are just as good) But yeah that ending really got to me, I think a harsh desert wind threw up a lot of sand in my eyes. When I think of her route this song always accompanies it for me.  So in Hatsukoi news I am really liking Kyou so far (even though she doesn't hold a candle to a certain other girl with the same name) I'm gunning for her route first. I mean come on she even thinks like me, what's not to like? Thyndd and snowbell55 1 1 Quote
+StrikeR+ Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Well i just finished Kirsti's route in Anekouji Naoko to Gin'iro no Shinigami:    Basically she seems to be a finish special unit soldier somewhere in the same league as Margit i think, it was a great route though! Story wise its even more simple and straightforward then some of the routes in Majikoi, and it also has a more similar vibe to Majikoi, then it has to Tsujidou-san, with that said, due to the characters, narration and comedy it was a great and fun experience! The MC is pretty awesome, and to be honest all characters are pretty nicely done, it was quite an enjoyable cast! Quote
ChaosRaven Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Finally finished Stein's Gate. I've avoided this VN for years, due to the odd art style, the so so impression of the anime, and my general dislike of time loop stories. But since I picked it up cheap in a sale some time ago, I thought I'll just give it a try. Surprisingly, the art was much less of a problem as I thought. While it's certainly not 'pretty', it kind of fits to the whole science theme, and it does get bonus points from me for filling the world with life by drawing background characters. The usage of music was very good. The slice-of-life scenes had more light music, but whenever something interesting happens, like the sending of a D-Mail, the music switched to a more suspenseful soundtrack. It did a marvelous job to create a good atmosphere. The voices were a mixed bag though. I overall liked the female voices, but the male ones were a bit bland to be honest. Daru didn't really deserve such a dull voice considering he's actually (in contrast to Okabe) a real crack. And I hated Okabe's voice and his idiotic laughter in particular so much, that I was absolutely delighted that I could turn off his voice in the options. I wish I could have done that in the anime, since Okabe suddenly got... bearable. The E-mail system was annoying as hell though. After I finished Mayuri's route I was thinking about doing the true route too, but due to the absolute mess of choices required to get to it, I decided that having seen it in the anime was good enough for me. Story-wise there were some really good parts, like some of the time travel theories, but also some grave flaws that significantly lowered the whole experience. Ironically, Stein's Gate's time-line theory almost entirely reflects how heroine routes work in eroges, with key choices that get you locked in a certain route with no way to change it afterwards. I don't consider that particular realistic, but it was certainly highly amusing. It also had a good iteration between slice of life and suspense even if it takes a bit long until gets to the meat of the story. The not so good story-parts usually got revealed if you started to think a bit deeper about some things like... Spoiler the whole IBN 5100 plot device being absolutely bogus, since no company with a remote glimmer of common sense would handle security by using an ancient computer and then send terror groups out to find existing ones of them to avoid being hacked. Maybe if it would have been something like the Enigma encryption machine used in WW2, but it was not even that and just about the programming language which made even less sense. And even an Enigma like encryption machine would be a disastrous security mearsurement by today's standards. And then they made human experiments when they were still so far away from succeeding, that experiments with animals or basic items would have made much more sense and wouldn't have drawn as much attention. They were essentially doing plain executions and begging to be discovered. Overall, almost everything CERN did was triple-facepalm material. And while the D-Mail thing had still some believeable parts, with certain scientific break-throughs only be discovered by accident, the time-leap engine was an entirely different matter. I mean, I don't even want to go into detail why using the gravity of a black hole to 'compress data' from a few terra bytes to just 36 byte is so outrageously dumb, that Einstein would't just turn in his grave - he would rotate!!! But building this whole machine pretty much overnight in a perfectly working state, pretty much makes me think that building an imperial class star destroyer shouldn't take them much longer than the coffee break by that standard. And those are just the highlights. Granted, some of it might be nitpicking, but there was a bit too much ridiculous stuff to to just ignore it. I guess it's essentially chuuni - lots of smart words but little thought behind it - and therefore best enjoyed by not thinking too deeply into it. Plotwise I think they spent too much time reverting things instead of making actual progress in the story and revealing more about CERN. In that regard the VN lacked substance, since besides revealing the identity of FB there's actually very little you find out about them. The time loop scenes also had the problem that only Okabe did develop, while the other characters were kind of frozen in time. One of the main reasons I'm not a big fan of time loop stories. Characterwise, it was also a bit of a mixed bag. I think Kurisu, Suzuha, Mayuri and Daru were pretty okay, but several others were kinda... overdone in some way. Moeka and Lukaku were a bit too screwed up to be believable anymore and Faris was also a bit too over-the-top Nekopara for a story VN. The protagonist Okabe himself almost had a split personality. In the first half he's so deep into his chuunibyou, that he appears almost mentally disturbed, reacting mostly paranoid and schizophrenic - I almost had pity with him. And Kurisu getting involved with him despite how he treated and acted around her was puzzling. And in the second half he suddenly turned into sergeant serious and his whole chuunibyou gets just a mere act he can switch on and off on the fly - I just couldn't believe it. But since he got a lot more bearable and almost likable that way, I was willing to turn a blind eye on it. Overall, it was a decent read, but I was certainly not blown away like others from it. IMHO, other story VN's like Root Double or the KnS series had more substance. Heroine rating: Mayuri > Kurisu > Suzuha > Faris > Moeka (Mayuri was probably not the deepest character, but for some reason I liked her the most) Overall rating: 7/10 Edited May 6, 2018 by ChaosRaven Dreamysyu and Inorin 2 Quote

snowbell55 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) I'm starting to feel like I might be clogging the thread a little with the frequent posts, but at the same time can't help but want to give thoughts and impressions on the stuff I'm reading since it's quite good. First, To Heart 2. I'm really enjoying this VN. It's SO FUNNY! I said that last time I posted about it, but it keeps on doing so and doesn't seem to want to get away from that angle, which is great :D. I managed to finish the Sasara route (Student Council President = nearly automatic Best Girl) but having read the route I get the feeling that I made a mistake going for that route first - someone on here mentioned that it had a lot of good ideas btu didn't really flesh them out and I kind of agree with that sentiment. It was still nice though, but not the best way to start the VN I don't think, and it did leave me a bit worried for some of the other routes and how they'll play out. I'm now reading the Konomi route and enjoying it. The thing is, though, that the story continues to unfold and I'm liking what I read. There was a scene last night which had me in stitches (more below), and that's just one of several. It leads into the other thing I mentioned the last time I posted about the VN - it's hard to choose what route to do next because there are several that seem appealing. I really want to see what would happen in the Tama-nee route, considering how she treats him :D. I also want to see what happens with Yuma (I'm convinced she needs help hahaha), Komaki (who seems interesting and is the one I'd been thinking of saving for last) and now Karin. As far as Karin goes, the scene mentioned earlier was To Heart 2 spoilers Spoiler when Takaaki gets roped into joining the Mystery Research Club, and tries to talk to her to get out of it, only for her to completely bamboozle, flummox, and outflank him. The hilarious part was that he seemed to be getting his way and almost out of the lion's den, only for her to start crying, and, hilariously, even though he managed to tell they were crocodile tears, she *still* managed to fool him, only to seal the deal when he fell on top of her XD. I thought she was funny just from the hypnosis scene in the Sasara route but boy she really upped the ante here. It was so hard to stifle what would've been really heavy laughter last night while reading that scene. I'm really enjoying the VN though, and I'm really looking forward to reading what happens next. I also really like how thus far the routes feel quite different from each other. Hopefully that stays the case the more of them I read. The other VN I'm reading atm is Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth. I did manage to get a copy as I was hoping to, and have already put almost 7h30 into it in only a few days, and invariably, every time I decide I want to read, I read more than planned, so I'm really being sucked into and immersed by the story. I'm really enjoying how it's unfolded thus far, though. It seems to be somewhat different than Mask of Deception, but that's to be expected, and fortunately, it's providing a lot of what I like still (the funny SoL moments) while continuing to amp up the story. I'd heard it mentioned that it has several twists that surprise, and that's been my experience as well - I didn't expect Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Mask of Truth spoilers Spoiler that Kuon was actually the princess of Tuskur, or that Vurai was still alive With everything that's happened, it really seems like things are going to come to a head, and I really wonder how the events are going to play out. It's still early days yet, but I think I could very well give it an 8/10 as well. I really hope that Atlus continue to localize and publish their stuff in the West, because between just these two VNs Aquaplus really are becoming one of my favorite VN studios. Actually, on that note, there's another thing to be said here. I'm not sure if it's thanks to Atlus, Aquaplus, or someone else, but both Mask of Deception and Mask of Truth come with extra goodies in the box (for the launch editions at least) - an artbook and a pillowcase respectively. IMO it's a really nice gesture for them to do. Neither of those are things I'd really pay much attention to, or even prioritize buying, and both of those things would've meant *some* extra money being spent to produce, package, and ship them instead of just the discs / carts and cases. Even so, they're included, and it makes it really hard to feel like either of the titles were a bad deal in terms of money spent. Edited May 6, 2018 by snowbell55 Mr Poltroon, adamstan, Turnip Sensei and 1 other 4 Quote
adamstan Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 I'm on ToHeart2 too now, and really like it. Will write more, when I finish it, but it's great. It is like "The mother of modern VNs" So many familiar tropes I recognize from later works. Quote
+StrikeR+ Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Started Minato Carnival FD: I just couldn't wait to start Onizuka's route XD: Â Â Quote
+StrikeR+ Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I finished Onizuka's route: Although i started Anekouji for Kirsti, Onizuka quickly became my favorite, i couldn't wait to play Minato Carnival FD for her route to be honest. It was obvious from the start she was strong but she's way over the top, seems that she's one of the top 3 strongest, if not the strongest character in Anekouji from what i've seen yet, definitely at least at the level of Tsujidou or Maki. Not only that she's quite cute and an excelent cook :p, loving her mixed personality as well. It was a really fun route, but it had one shortcoming, it ended to soon, it left to many things up in the air, compared to other Minato done routes it felt like it ended midway. That said its better then nothing :p.  I'm probably going to continue Maki's ark now in Virgin Road. Quote

And those are just the highlights.  I wanted to comment on your points and add a few things from myself, but I decided against it since I only watched the anime, and I'm sure that the VN version could lead to many things a lot better. But, yeah, Steins;Gate has quite a lot of little things like that that simply don't make any sense. As a result, the story is pretty much filled with plot holes of different importance, and I had to put quite a lot of effort to keep my suspension of disbelief intact. I find it kind of understandable, sci-fi VNs generally are pretty bad at making technical stuff and "science" actually realistic and believable (and that's why I prefer fantasy). Chaos;Head, for example, has it even worse: it takes Born's ideas about the nature of observation in quantum mechanics (and you could say that they are actually closer to philosophy than to science), completely misinterprets them, and in the end we basically have an urban fantasy visual novel that pretends to be sci-fi. Well, this all is pretty understandable, making an accurate sci-fi world is a pretty impossible task since the author has to have a good understanding of quite a lot of different fields of science and a lot of other stuff. And usually making it very realistic isn't even very important, because most viewers/readers aren't even going to notice that there's anything wrong with that. Still, you can't really blame people who actually notice these things from criticizing the novel, because they do take away from your enjoyment. Oh, and I actually like Steins;Gate anime. Which is quite surprising, considering that among the characters I only liked Okabe... and Suzuha, I guess? Still, even with all the cringe-worthy moments, the story was pretty interesting and relatively well-structured (excluding several completely pointless plot arcs). These moments, on the other hand, definitely took away quite a lot from my enjoyment, and I would prefer that they simply weren't there.

But the whole mixture was probably an important reason for the huge success of the VN. Edited May 8, 2018 by ChaosRaven Dreamysyu 1 Quote
adamstan Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I finished To Heart 2 yesterday. It was great experience for me. I just had to get used to the interface (no separate textbox), but it went smoothly. It is "mother of moeges" (at least for translated ones ) - there were sooo many familiar things I recognized from later games I've read. I liked all routes - Yuma route felt somewhat weaker than the others for me, but it was still enjoyable, I just felt that in some places it didn't flow as smoothly as the rest. I can't decide on best girl - all were sweet. First route I read was Konomi - nice start, and good one to start with, as her route makes also most of the "common". Next was Tama-nee I thought she will be my best girl, but then other strong contenders appeared Spoiler I agree, that Tama-nee can be considered early Momoyo prototype Also, in her route we see the all-girls-school "beloved Onee-sama" trope. However, she still is somewhere around the top. Next onto Sasara. After reading some posts I was little afraid, but it actually was good too. I agree - the MC's stubborness was a little over the top, but I was (or probably still am) on similar levels of stupidity, so can't really complain Being scolded by Tama-nee (which she also did in Ruuko route) actually gave me some food for thought. And Sasara herself was sweet. Manaka - she probably is the MOEst of them all. Nice and sweet route, with some drama thrown in - very good. Yuma - the tsundere. Lots of funny moments, but later I feel there were some jumps in the story, therefore it is the weaker route for me - but still OK. "Don't think that means you have won!" Karin - nothing special, but nice. "Guess who?" Yuuki - this route took me somewhat by surprise - it was great. Yuuki was beautiful and nice, and her ending had some of the KeyMagicTM (it wouldn't feel out of place in "Little Busters"). Little short, but definitely one of the best routes for me. The Twins (Sango & Ruuri) - nice. Ending was... erm... interesting Spoiler Twins route in Konosora seems to borrow heavily from this. And then the android girl looks like she inspired AIESS from Majikoi A-2 Ruuko - out-of-this-world setting , but very enjoyable route. Ruuko is easily one of the best girls in this game. "Ruu!" Â Art (characters and backgrounds) looks good. Music was very nice too. And the animated OP was amazing - it's pretty rare to see full animated scenes in VN OP instead of just character sprites with credits next to them and some effects. Translation was decent - there some missing or redundant words here and there, but no game-breakers. Overall - 8/10 from me. Â Now for what to read next, I have to decide between Adventure of Lifetime, Fureraba or Snow Sakura. Edited May 8, 2018 by adamstan Quote
Plk_Lesiak Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 I've been going through playthroughs of various bad OELVNs on YouTube (it makes it possible to avoid giving money to bad devs, among other upsides like not being bound to my PC while watching them :p), including some Winged Cloud games and I'm actually quite disturbed by how they've just gone shittier and lazier as time went on... The short, free Sakura games are the absolute crap as expected, but I think the "mainline", commercial ones are also becoming even more uninspired and shittily made. And I'm not even sure If I can blame that on the company, it's pretty clear that after investing more money and effort into Dungeon and Fantasy they realized that making the bare-minimum-effort ecchi trash is more profitable. People really should have a bit more respect for themselves, even when looking for fap material. I have to give a shoutout to Bosskwar though, who makes these games more fun than they have any right to be. And help me not spend money on stuff that I want to check out, but know that the devs behind it are not worth supporting. Quote

Turnip Sensei Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 I read Flowers -Le Volume sur Printemps- few days ago, and it was, uhh.. a very mixed bag for me. I don't think I've ever read a VN as at times aggravating, yet still somehow enjoyable. But Flowers definitely did some things right, (even when excluding the precious treasure that is Kawashima Rino as Yuzuriha) because here I'm now, reading the sequel Flowers -Le Volume sure Été-. And this time honestly enjoying myself. Yaegaki is more to my liking as a protagonist. Souh was already pretty relatable, but Yaegaki is even more so, although in different ways. Plus, I think it's nice having a bit more active and outspoken protagonist. Girls, both new and the ones from before are still really cute. Story feels more focused too, I think, and even the "mysteries" so far have been better. Plk_Lesiak 1 Quote
adamstan Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) I just finished Sora to Umi ga, Fureau Kanata (Adventure of Lifetime) today. It was good, despite being short. It took me just under 7 hours to complete both routes - but I skipped thru common route the second time. This is what you get, when you cut almost all SoL from moege It is pretty light hearted. Both girls and their routes are nice. There is some drama, but nothing heavy. Art and music is typical Pulltop - if you played Konosora or Miagete you'll feel right at home Translation is OK. As always, there are some awkward lines, but not too many. "Grandmama" for "Obaasama" (that's how Emily calls Machiko) is... umm... e-to... weird choice, reminding me somehow of "Asa-bat" from SakuSaku. Then there are some lines with missing words (mostly particles), but overall it reads OK. And that's definitely no machine translation, there had to be some humans involved It seems that the RNG gods that picked translation team for MoeNovel were feeling generous this time I thoroughly enjoyed it, so it gets 8 from me.

After 2 routes struggling with translators 4 years ago. Feels like i'm in heaven. +StrikeR+ 1 Quote
