Ringo Roadagain Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Hello everyone, I have had some interest in visual novels and light novels for quite some time, but because of how confusing they all seemed and not knowing how to get access to any (Following the Fate/stay nigh series was a nightmare) I was kind of put off. However i found myself loving playthroughs and walkthroughs of visual novels on Youtube, primarily Katawara shojou (Sorry is I spelled it wrong) and I just got so addicted, I then got into an anime call Higarashi no naku koro ni and loved it, i watched it a few years ago and never knew it was tied to a series called Umineko which was very popular among other forums I visited, especially Beatrice. As a result I got even more curious. The problem still remained, I have no idea where to even start, nor did I have anyone to discuss these with, I always felt out of the loop when it came to debates and discussions involving these characters. However, thanks to a friend by the name of Featherine from the Naruto forums, I was introduced here. This place seems very lively and I am a bit nervous about entering but I'm sure I will be caught up in due time. I hope you all are patient as I will no doubt ask very obvious and silly questions that are common place here. I look forward to meeting you all. As you can tell i am chatty, and a fan of Jojo's bizarre adventure(And Supergals...and Sailor Moon XD). I really want to get into Umineko and katawara shojou. Quote
Eclipsed Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Heyy welcome to the forums, Ringo! Featherine introduced you here, but who's that? I haven't seen any Featherine on this forum!! Sailor Moon huh >.>... well, not gonna lie, I enjoyed watching that show with my sister when I was a kid ~~ If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Quote
Yuri Hunter Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 welcome \0/ Fate is one of the best VNs, you will find someone to discuss about it without problem, and Kata Shoujo is one of the visual novel that is more advisable for those just starting. Quote
Wonderfullyevil Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome! If you can tell by my avatar and signature, I'm a big Umineko fan. You should read it, but it's super long, and is slow at times. Quote
havoc Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 welcome and have a good time, if i may give some reccomendations, Fate/stay night is a must play. It is nothing like the anime thing that carries its name. (well we do now in the unlimited blade works adaption) And we just have a new patch that has translated the realta nua version of the game. (wich is an all ages game so it does away with the H stuff and replaces it by something else) http://vndb.org/v11 Tsukihime Another must play, and no this one does not have a anime adaption. http://vndb.org/v7 (it is ancient, got no voice and no music. But it is so good) Muv Luv series, now Muv Luv extra is not that good and Unlimited is merely good but alternative is definitly a must read and to understand it completely you need to have read these two first. (I so hope muv luv alternative get's an anime adaption at some point) http://vndb.org/v93 (extra/unlimited) yes they are packed into one game http://vndb.org/v92 (alternative) g senjou maou Is also a must read. http://vndb.org/v211 clannad is also a must read and is together with fate/stay night one of the vn flagships, muv luv can possible also be considered a flagship. http://vndb.org/v4 Other than that there is Grisaia no Kajitsu wich is also a must read. (By the way, no panty shots in this one, just sex jokes by amane instead) http://vndb.org/v5154. As for a few good anime: (just me rambling on) Aria the animation: http://myanimelist.n...a_the_Animation Crest of the stars: http://myanimelist.net/anime/290. Ringo Roadagain 1 Quote
Novel21 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome to Fuwanovel forum Ringo and I hope you enjoy staying here. And I'm big fan Of Sailor moon to and since you have watched Sailor moon so Would I recommend Tokyo Mew Mew Quote
Deep Blue Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome to fuwa That title sounds like the aladdin song xD Quote
Vince Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD~ That title sounds like the aladdin song xD sorry, had to do that. the title could sound dirty if placed in the right conversation. well then, welcome to the fuwa, feel free don't be scared to ask anything, we don't bite, mostly. if you confused where to start, just tell us what genre and type you want.

Zalor Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Hello everyone, I have had some interest in visual novels and light novels for quite some time.This place seems very lively and I am a bit nervous about entering but I'm sure I will be caught up in due time. I hope you all are patient as I will no doubt ask very obvious and silly questions that are common place here. I look forward to meeting you all. As you can tell i am chatty, and a fan of Jojo's bizarre adventure(And Supergals...and Sailor Moon XD). I really want to get into Umineko and katawara shojou. 3 or so years ago pre-fuwanovel, the visual novel community was known for being kinda hostile. Oh have times changed! This is one of the nicest and most welcoming communities I've ever been a part of. Even if you don't read many VNs, I'm sure you can make yourself at home here. For a beginner I would like to recommend a lovely, short, and free visual novel called Narcissu. You can get this visual novel for free on steam. I suggest reading the original Narcissu before reading the prequal Side 2nd. It should only take like 3 - 4 hours to read Narcissu, but be prepared, it can be kind of depressing. Quote
LinovaA Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome, welcome! Enjoy thy stay! Also, I second Zalor. Narcissu is definitely an awesome read. I highly recommend it. I also recommend Clannad. Quote
Redemyr Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Welcome! I recommend Clannad as well ! Also Deardrops too if you want something with a happier tone! or Kana: Little Sister if sadness is your cup of tea... Quote

Yeah I will definitely start on Clannad then Muv Luv. Anyone have links to Umineko? I'm on vacation so I want some ques. Quote

sirjabberwock Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Welcome, this is a fun but very strange community. Be prepared xD Regarding your request of a link for Umineko, torrent links are a no-go here Quote
Flutterz Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! Katawa Shoujo is a lot of people's first VN, partly because it's one of the easiest VNs to get - it's free on their website. http://www.katawa-shoujo.com/ Have a moe: Quote
