Mangagamer is looking back at the last year in this blog post:

https://blog.mangagamer.org/2021/03/01/a-look-back-at-2020-and-the-2021-licensing-survey-begins/

And is asking for feedback in their yearly Licensing Survey linked at the bottom of the blog post or linked directly here:

What are the wishes of the Fuwanovel members? Same as last year or did anything change?

You can find last years results of the survey here:

Last years most wished for title Evenicle 2 has been announced since but the other titles are still unlicensed.

Here it's 3 VNs i have choose

https://vndb.org/v2603

https://vndb.org/v683

https://vndb.org/v100

Is there a visual novel developer (or developers) with an existing relationship with MangaGamer you would like to see more titles from? And i have choose Moonstone

Is there a particular visual novel developer without an existing relationship with MangaGamer you'd like to see titles from? And I have choose August.

Looks like Sakuranomori Dreamers didn't do too well. Beaten by the likes of Maggot Baits, Euphoria, Escalayer and crap loads of Rance. Maybe we just don't deserve story titles.

well i didnt get it solely because i don't trust Mangagamer to translate the sequel also. Was gonna buy both the second they announced the second game, but mangagamer is mangagamer.

I also chose Moonstone in the survey as I kinda hoping for them to localized Sakuranomori Dreamers 2 then also added Innocent Grey since I want Mangagamer to localized the third Kara No Shoujo title.

these are the titles that I've choose.

Sakuranomori Dreamers 2

Caucasus ~Nanatsuki no Nie~

Kara no Shoujo - The Last Episode

 

As for a particular developer... Hmm... maybe Ricotta

imo its pointless for the survey because the most selling ones are those nukiges. maybe vote with your money instead???

[Dreamysyu]

The game I wished for last year (and several years before that) got licensed and turned out to be a pile of garbage.

Honestly, I'll probably just vote for some random VNs from my wishlist I know nothing about, or just skip this year altogether.

Exactly.

When do you use 'garbage' are you talking about the quality of the VN itself or the translation only? Or both? I heard mixed opinions about the TL but the VN was mostly negative stuff.

Well, I can't say I noticed any problems with the TL, though I'm definitely not the best person to judge. I was talking about the VN itself. Honestly, if I didn't know it beforehand, I wouldn't believe it was written by Ryukishi, because it feels as if someone tried to copy his writing style and failed to capture what makes it good to begin with.

Still, that's just my opinion, of course.

Exactly.

Maybe the rewritten ps4 version is better

[alpacaman]

Isn't the English release already based on the PS4 version? Anyway, I don't think Iwaihime could be salvaged by a few rewrites.

[Finhir]

@alpacamanYou're fuckin' RAAAAD man!

The survey was ended back at 16th, and as for the VNs that I want to be translated I decided to suggest Astraythem (I know that Chuablesoft was already bankrupt, but it's not like it's impossible for Mangagamer to get the license from one of their VN), Beat Valkyrie IxSeal (I like to see the combination of Beat series gameplay, magical girl, and Seven Deadly Sins), and Sakura no Mori 2 (So that we can see on how Kure did write a heroine route that he didn't write in the prequel (Even though it's reasonable that there's no route for that heroine) just like he did write Ruriko back at Evangile). Not that I expect them to do the license for those anyway, but it would be nice if I can see the license of those three.
