>That's what you get when you try to judge a VN writer by novel standards. DAILY REMINDER THAT VNs ARE SHIT
why are you reading translated crap or learning japanese to read terribly written pornbooks when you could,say, read real (and interesting) novels?
Ryder Cooper

Real talk here, I read books but the Western world can't write books anymore. Or rather, the publishing industry is very corrupt. 21st century fiction is usually loaded with the authors political views, SJW-ism and just generally plainly bad books with shallow mainstream appeal, or rather, that's the only ones that are allowed to get published. See the disaster that was Hugo awards. So yeah, if you want to read books your only options are older ones.
This problem doesn't really exist with contemporary Japanese fiction, especially since VN/LN are fairly niche. Cool stuff is coming out every year, authors are allowed to get creative etc etc. That's the real thing I like about them. Not really related to your argument, but I kind of wanted to get this off for some time now.

Evan Jones
Hello everyone, is this the right place to ask how I finish this game? I've unlocked all the memories, how the hell do I get to the end?
I just want to beat the stupid game so that I can come back and jack off to it later without my autism triggering me. I mean I already fapped to it once, but that was just a test run.
Ethan Moore
Has anyone finished Fata Morgana? What is everyone's thoughts on it?
I think the music in this game is atrocious. It's so distracting with all the singing and shit and they always capitalise "You" it's annoying as hell.
Owen Gray
I wholeheartedly agree with your statement of recent Western novel being trash. But I don't see why you wouldn't read "older" novels (20th century already has a lot of amazing sci-fi and fantasy titles).
I understand that you haven't replied directly to my argument but still, there is so much good old stuff to read that you could die and still have a gigantic backlog.
Bentley Lee
>I think the music in this game is atrocious
now I am fucking triggered give me your home address I'll duff you up real hard
Jason Myers
I played the first 10 minutes and the art was disgusting so I uninstalled it
Dominic Rogers
best VN to come out since Hanachirasu
Chase Brown
/vn/ doesn't really talk about tf. you're better off asking /hgg/
try listening to this garbage on loop and then you can duff me up if you have the strength left
Isaac Jones
Does the art matter? You are reading a novel, not like you are going to fap to it since it's all ages.
Brody Robinson
but it's not garbage you piece of shit I hope your mother get raped by three starving niggers for claiming such nonsense
Landon Russell
I bet you listen to Spooky Candy Theater you lame bitch
Blake Hill
Let's make /vn/ a Yuuritopia!
Noah Long
Art is important because I might as well read a real book. The art is too weird and not in a good way
Dylan Peterson
I don't know what is worse between listening to a lame band and being spawned by a fat smelling bitch who will get cancer and rot away like a piece of shit
there are more people liking it than the opposite though you are the problem
Ryan Scott
Let's no.
Daniel Wood
IT'S NEVER OVER.
Jaxon Hughes
Yeah, I meant it's too weird for me. I looked up the artist and he's actually quite skilled. I wonder why he didn't make the game look half as nice as this pic
Zachary Adams
...
Isaiah Cruz
>there are less people liking it than the opposite though you are the problem
Colton Hill
Is that seriously part of the game? They should never have vocals in a VN because it'll interfere with the reading.
You have shit taste my friend if all the songs sound like that.
Colton Richardson
>killertopia At least do it in a /vn/ of a different timeline
Julian Baker
>15 posters >40 replies
Christian Brown
What is the current flavor of the month?
Blake Richardson
Salt.
Ian Gray
This thread is infested with normies and most of them are out on the weekends so its ded.
Landon Sanchez
Since when do normies read taiwanese voiced scriptures?
Eli Brooks
We're way past the point where I should call you an autist, op
Samuel Hall
define good taste
Blake Stewart
Does this loop or is it only for short and specific scenes?
Mason Rivera
been like it for a while
Aiden James
Thanks for the spoonfeed, I will kindly be fucking myself off then
Dylan Fisher
It loops and the scene is long too and makes it really hard to concentrate.
Juan Rivera
>page 10
Evan James
I wasn't meming, it literally never fucking ends, there is no happily ever after, no concise wrap up of events, you are just forced into days and days worth of headpatting for your entire life.
Eli Walker
Chris a shit >literally gets raped into submissiveness >including anal
Julian Allen
is there any plans for a concrete ending or is the game considered to be finished?
Oliver Powell
So you mean best right?
Cameron Jones
I think the game is still in production and I doubt the dev will leave the game without an ending on release.
Lincoln James
Dawwww this is too much.
Her voice is so lovely and moments like these are so heartwarming.
Julian Gomez
Chiho is a lovely girl with a terrible route.
Alexander Nguyen
One of the cutest moments in PE
Michael Murphy
Agree. Rise one was better.
Carson Gutierrez
Why are childhood friend routes almost always the shittiest? Those 2D girls deserve better.
Caleb Torres
Chiho found hers. She was saving herself for Masaya, and in the end it worked out.
Oliver Gray
Yume was best route though
John Wright
Maybe it's because I'm EOP and haven't read EH but Yume was no exception. MAGICAL MOM POWERS YO
Levi Howard
Rise is a cute
Caleb Barnes
>page 10 again
Evan Ross
Does kastl ever stop talking to himself about random stuff
Jeremiah Sullivan
kastel is the hero visual novels deserve
Leo Brooks
the fact that you read it, (and presumably others did as well) means that he's not talking to himself.
Landon Gutierrez
>implying VN players can read
Charles Clark
...
Jeremiah Mitchell
why even read vns
Jacob Wood
He linked his MAL and he has shit like Naruto and Bleach at 9-10 scores, so yeah.
Christopher Lewis
>all those "suggestions" when he probably doesn't want anything resembling/hinting at romance at all which is honestly pretty impossible
Hunter James
If he doesn't want a love story, then he should try a LOVE story like Undertale.
Josiah Garcia
There are better VN's with good "love" story. vndb.org/v15167
Jeremiah Turner
LIVE
Dylan Miller
shoulda let it die.
Owen Hernandez
Never
Jaxon Cook
>no women of any kind and no sex So, basically, a VN about a guy doing things with his manly friends but no homo, right?
Leo Moore
thanks for the rec
Aiden Gutierrez
he just said not "woman orientated". desu I know his feels. Even plotge vns seem to revolve around women more often than not, routes are structured around them. its kind of obnoxious if you don't care about them.
William Brooks
I know, I translated that as "no women" as in "no women who have any kind of relevance in the scenario"
Eli Brown
Never translate a VN senpai
Adrian Howard
t. queer
Ryan Turner
>play through all endings of Taimanin Asagi 2 >still have like 6 cgi's and 3 scene missing
I even drew out all the choices to make sure I didn't miss anything. Where did I went wrong /vn/?
Landon Lee
You have to close the game
Alexander James
Honestly, I'd just grab a 100% save at this point.
Benjamin Hernandez
how is asagi compared to yukikaze
Thomas Miller
I already did, every single choice is greyed out. Help me senpai.
Gabriel Peterson
Asagi - Mostly focused on violent/rough treatment of the girls, tentacles, pretty hardcore stuff. Yukikaze - focused on corruption and mindbreak, most sex is just a fat old man or a customer making the girl feel so good her morals fade and she gets addicted.
Zachary Nelson
Are there any VNs where you have to do something really meta like turn off a character's voice in order to proceed through into route or something like that?
Aaron Young
Ikikoi
Jaxson Robinson
>tfw you end up falling for crazy mass murderer
Andrew Fisher
I'm on Episode 4 of Umineko, and I don't know if I can take this pacing anymore. I love the mystery aspect of it. I love the interaction between Battler and Beatrice. I love theorizing how it could have been done and seeing how my theories hold up. I love the way it seems to close up every possibility of a mundane explanation until suddenly something clicks that opens a hole in this seemingly impenetrable mystery.
But the supernatural scenes and future crap feel like such slog to get through. The supernatural scenes go on for way too long, and I have to believe that they're just fake shit trying to misdirect me, because what's the point of ANY of this game if I'm going to accept magic is real? So what's the point to even reading them? And the future stuff feels so disconnected from the rest of the game, I can't bring myself to feel interested in it. I just feel like taping down CTRL during the parts where Ange is getting bullied and being delusional, because none of it feels like matters to the rest of the story. And now right when things are getting interesting again, Battler breaks down and it cuts to another damn future scene. I feel strongly tempted to just delete the game and look up the summary on a wiki. I like the content, but the piecemeal delivery is frustrating me beyond belief.
What do I do, /vn/? Can anyone say something to convince me it's worth it to keep going? Or is it something where if I'm not enjoying those parts, I should just give up and accept this isn't for me?
Leo Fisher
Wish there were some other meat VNs like the one where a character starts talking to the player and kills the MC when you don't do her route.
Thomas Anderson
Shame that's the only good part of that VN. Or at least that's what /vn/ told me.
