Im noticing a decrease of meme usage in these threads. Step up fampais.

>This general is for the discussion of Japanese visual novels.
pls change that to "Translated Visual Novels" in the next thread

So what are you reading today/tonight /vn/?

I love eternal lolis.

I like lolis.
Fuck dovac.

this thread

Localized and no honorifics translation a shit.

Every visual novel can be "translated" with MT, a note in the OP isn't going to do anything against shitposters.

>Wake up
>see this
>wat do?
tell her to speak English

>Every visual novel can be "translated" with MT
yes, but Japanese VNs are still untranslated, discussions of the MT are welcome, but discussions of the VNs that are being used with MT is not, and belongs to /jp/

Gonna finish Dracu-Riot

or as much as I can before the complete translation

I'm maybe going to continue reading Ayakashibito. I stopped the moment the retarded MC mentioned that he wanted to go to a fucking highschool.

Why the fuck would the author do this? They are on the run because some part of the government or something is after them and wants to kill them. Go to school is the last thing anybody would think of doing in a situation like that. It's even worse than in Tokyo Babel.

Ayakashibito is shit anyway.

What are some VNs where I can trip on girls and grope them?

Best rewrite route?

a lot of them if you factor in tripping over their corpses in bad ends

terra duh

Sweet dreams /vn/

>Why the fuck would the author do this?
Most VN are set in a highschool environment because they're marketing it to young adults.

So I just started Noble Works and she is by far my favorite girl,why is she such a bro?
Also she does have a route right?

Y-Ye

No route.
Read Elina's route in Dracuriot. It's the closest thing you're gonna get for now.

Why did they do this?

Want but can't haves are a common staple of moege

I just filter for VNs with the "best girl doesn't have a route" tag on VNDB.

Pretty sure EGS has a tag like that

Jesus fuck the text in Root Double is bad. I know it's not just the translation but also the original being written extremely bland, but still.

I don't want to play a partial though.

Youcanneverlearnjap.jpg T_T

is that even a sentence, without any particles and such? seems like it's just a series of words

...

That's Chinese.

It all looks the same.

>ching chong chang chong king kong kang kong ding dong nip nong
it literally means "you will never be able to learn japanese and don't try", trust me i'm good at Chinese characters

It's a quote from the 古事記
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kojiki
If the text appears to be Chinese, it's usually directly taken from some old ass Japanese literature. Normal Japs can't read that either.

What gives you that impression? Root Double is pretty well regarded from what I've seen (unless it gets meme-hated in this thread or something, I don't really visit this thread too often). Chances are the translation/editing is just shit. A translation is good enough to judge the basic overarching core of the plot as long as it isn't so horrendously bad that it manages to get even that wrong, but even the best of translations aren't enough to judge the writing beyond that since writing style pretty much entirely depends on the translator and editor and the original prose and writing style from the Japanese script are basically lost.

Is it even something that can be tackled with patience? Like skimming through dictionary and adding words for eac kanji and then trying to make sense? Or maybe try to write down what he says in hiragana and try to understand it.
Too bad cause the voiceover doesn't sound chinese at all.
Well fuck. Other chants are thematical(Kei about child of a fire god, Ren - about time and Faust ) but at least understandable.

I mean the text/prose specifically, not the plot writing. Conjueror said the same thing about the original game, every sentence is basically a "He did this. Then he did that.". Really repetitive.

>Like skimming through dictionary and adding words for eac kanji and then trying to make sense

I don't think you'll get that far since most words are probably not listed in dictionaries, not even ones focusing on kobun. You'd have to learn some really old grammar too. Being able to read ancient literature is no easy task no matter what language.

In cases like these, I googled parts of it or looked up the respective chant on the Masada wiki. But that's all I did, if nothing conclusive was found, I moved on. I frankly didn't have the patience to dissect each chant, it really takes you out of the reading flow. Gare didn't bother deciphering all the chants in KKK either.

who the hell cares about what conjueror thinks

only moogy's opinion counts.

i've been reading for less than 3 months and I can recognize more than half of those kanji and know the readings for probably 1/4th.
But of course I'd have no clue to what the hell it means. Its okay, I'm not touching masada until after 1-2 years.

Also, Kain's chant is pretty much the only complicated chant in Dies. The rest are easy. KKK is where it gets hard.

Oh, and I guess Mercurius' chant is in latin.

Latin is easier. So is German.

Let's make /vn/ a Yuritopia!

Let's make /vn/ a paradise!

Assuming you don't know Latin, you don't get any furi to rely on in Mercurius' case, or any readable text at all for that matter. He also uses a voice modifier in that scene.

I am not sure if I should be surprised that Kagetsu Tohya got porn in it

what does this mean, JOPs?

I just started root double.
Do you suppose to take Natsuhiko's route later? I picked his first and I somehow feel that I was thrown into a middle of a plot game point.

The pleasure of being cummed inside.

Oh fuck.
Just came into a condom after saving up for a week.
It was filled just like in my hentai manga.
Why don't VNs ever promote safe sex?

Yeah. B route slowly introduces you to the setting, so if you take A second, you know most of the stuff and it's not a suspense anymore. Though it's still enjoyable because there are mysteries that are left unanswered here.
I started B first and enjoyed the game. Also, you won't get a feel trip at B if you start A first. So, your choice.

55th for Saber.

One off.

>Suspense or feel trip
I guess I'll take the former. Had enough of depressing shit.

They do promote safe sex user but it just got censored. :^)

The no condom meme is a government funded ploy to increase Japanese birthrates.

The whole not "cumming inside on a dangerous day" meme is a government funded ploy to increase Japanese birthrates.

...

I thought they meant that if it's a "dangerous day", cumming inside might set off an unstable nuclear reaction like what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Yurirei is a MANime, lad.

guys...
/jp/ is making fun of us again...

Fuck off JOP.

Kill yourself EOP trash.

Have you princess carried your imouto today /vn/?

Have you read this piece of art yet?

Wouldn't worry about it, you're not expected to understand it.

Yes, it was pretty good

Please no baiting this early in the day.

Yes. It was pretty good.
Good writing, good characters, great comedy and well developed setting. It's worth spending 30 hours to read it.

...

At least this bait was funny.
is just bad.

(You)

Conjueror-poo?

Are there any doujins with Samael? God damn I need one of those. And while at it, a Raziel one would be great as well.
But yeah, Babel was pretty enjoyable. Some fight scenes were a little boring but it doesn't get that bad as people try to make it.

Chinese always looks insanely ordered, compact, and elegant in comparison to Japanese, which is always meant to flow.
你是一个柴草 Chink

あなたはホモです Nip

Conversely, if you want to detect Korean its simple as fuck. Are there tons of circles? Its fucking korean. In order to become part of the korean master race you have to perfect making circles and curves like a master.

당신은 게이입니다 SC2

Fuck the other character languages other than russian because you can spot the language of the squatters cosplaying as Hellen Keller.

Oh I also forgot.
Curves are mostly illegal in chinese. Their fucking square ideology from 4000 years ago still applies today to the language.

Remember folks. Its not that hard to tell the three primary languages of the east from eachother, even if you'll never learn them. Telling the people apart though is still impossible.

If you don't know the kanji/hanzi, Japanese and Chinese are L I T E R A L L Y indistinguishable at times. If you don't know kana, they're ALWAYS indistinguishable.

Well, I'm mostly familiar with identifying them outright. I'm aware that there's similarities between the two languages but as a rough guideline its worked most of the time.

I haven't touched learning either language in years and I'm more familiar with russian and italian since those two have been my focus as of late.

...

Is this the legendary BUILDUP to sex I've heard so much about?

I want to protect that smile

Can someone explain the senses system in Root Double for a retard? How important is it?

Does it really matter whether you fill it 3/5, 4/5 or 5/5? How do you know how much exactly to fill?

Holy shit the limit is 5 times per day. This girl is too horny.

You use a walkthrough

For most stuff, it only matters wheter you put it to 4/8 or 7/8, though there are a handful where 1/8 or 8/8 are also important.

While it's overall important, it's not that hard to figure out after a while, for me a rule of thumb of "good feelings about x" -> put it to 7/8 while "bad feelings about x" -> put it to 4/8 worked.

That's for losers.

You're a fucking loser anyway, there's nothing to lose.

Cute 999 reference

I really like that Tsumugu.
