Worst girl, you could at least act as a sane person and post Ritsuko

...

Ads have disappeared from the bottom of pages, at least on desktop.

What the fuck dude.

Jokes on you I want the scene to die.

Hated Nellie in first door, but she was truly a best in the last door.

>having ads in the first place

Woah I am hard as HECK

Is this from PE?

But non-translated VNs are fun too. Discussing them only in /jp/ is mottainai.

Yes, it's a picture of best girl..

Can i cheat Koichoco and avoid Chisato's route as first? I want to read hers last

I remember that dropping a 100% save file doesn't work, are there other options?

Ctrl through it. There is no way to avoid it.

Can i leave it running while not looking at the screen? Or does it give you choices anyway even if you're locked?

If this artist is going for a realistic art-style he really should learn to draw smaller eyes.

>open VN
>get bored within 5 lines
Some VNs are just dull to the bone and I can sense it

You should read it first. That's the only way to accept how fucked up, obnoxious, and annoying Chisato is in other routes.

You can. There are some meaningless choices in common route but there are no choices in route itself.
I don't remember where her route starts, but her fellatio is a pretty good indication that you are on her route already.

Maybe, but even those can be fun if you happen to enjoy the cast

>You should read it first
I'd rather not, i know Chisato gets hate but i can't relate to it at all
I think i'd just feel bad instead

>her fellatio
Oh, sorry. It wasn't fellatio. It was just handjob.
I have bad memory I guess.

It was never supposed to be full-on realism. It's a mishmash of realism (prominent noses, visible lips, more realistic eyelids) and the kind of exaggerated proportions you see in anime (larger eyes, greater eye spacing, generally rounder features).

I like it. It has its roots in some western aesthetics with its bias towards some more realistic details (I'm getting kind of tired of characters having tiny dots for noses), but it's still positively Japanese in the proportions which it chooses to exaggerate.

>guy gets nose
>girls get dot
I hate this meme

Bring back line noses at least.

It's not meme. Big noses are ugly. Don't mess up pretty faces with that shit.

>Corona Blossom Vol.2 continues the story which began in the first volume, and follows Keiji and friends as they try to help R-ne return to her home - with a twist you'll never see coming!
>with a twist you'll never see coming!
What will it be?

It's a shitty meme. Dots just make me laugh.

You've just been stockholm'd into liking dots.

They are just pretending to be Keiji's friends

VN is cancelled due to poor sales.

I don't know, in my opinion, it makes all his characters look like they have some birth defects.

as109 nailed the realistic anime look.

I can't relate to it that much either, but I would have hated Chisato if I didn't play her route first.
She is just too bad in routes of other girls. Her own route softens that impression a bit and makes it acceptable.

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard.

Is Chisato's intrusiveness in other routes a way for the game to make you feel bad about it?
I'm extremely weak against shit like that

I don't really mind dots that much (I would take them any day of the week over modern-Takeuchi's garbage noses), I just dislike how frequently they're used. The anime art-style is already extremely samey as far as styles go, and this is largely because it abandons detail for a more simple aesthetic. Dots are just another detail that are lost, and therefore an additional shift towards homogeneity. It's on that principle that I somewhat dislike their frequency of use in recent years. Still, there are plenty of artists who don't dot, so it isn't really worth complaining about that much.

Plus, dots are kind of cute.

They look a bit fetal-alcohol-syndromy, but then again basically almost all characters in the anime style do.

I stopped being bothered by large amounts of eye-spacing and bug-eyes a long time ago, so it simply isn't an issue with me.

And I dunno if I'd really categorize as109 with having a bias towards realism or anything. His style leans a bit towards the general-anime style than it does towards realism, and his art utilizes big eyes and large amounts of eye-spacing as well.

Honestly the biggest thing seperating as109 from the modern anime chump is the coloring I think

That's most of what separates the really eye catching artists. Shading, shadows, etc

Is SpecOps: The Line a visual novel?

Yes, definitely.
Though not even half as good as E.Y.E..

reminder to always buy moege.

Even Corona Blossom?

Especially Corona Blossom.

Ja.

when did /vn/ become shilling central?

When you started interpreting all positive comments related to paid products as shilling.

i wasn't aware "buy x" was a positive comment

They're smaller in her sprite

Remember to not be buy-curious like this guy

You've made me want to shill something.

BUY ALL YURI VNS!

No. No dick == No buy

Yes, do not buy anything and just pirate!

You can't tell me what to do! I'm going to buy everything!

I've just made someone into a buyer. My conscious is now clear to pirate everything because it offsets. Thanks friend.

...

>/vn/ likes Corona Blossom now
nani the FUCK happened?!

I'm not into yuri but that sounded gay as fuck.

I already am planning to buy SonoHana. MG is literally saving VNs in the west.

frontwing cried about bad sales and /vn/ didnt want winter to come

It's important to recognize that "buy-x" is largely a meme referencing the number of Twitter users tweeting incessantly about "EVERYONE BUY FATA MORGANA". It's not legitimate.

...

>number of Twitter users
You mean number of MangaShiller shills.

>its just a meme bro!
sure

Please do not shitpost. Thank you.

>p-please stop calling us out!

Please don't pirate xd

Shitposts are not call-outs. You are just making yourself look silly and wasting a post in the general.

>Sekai Project - prioritizes steam releases, Dovacs a faggot, kickstarter abuse
>JAST - takes an eternity to release anything
>Mangagamer - full of aggressive shills
Is there no VN company worth supporting? This is awful.

EOP desperation

see

The only answer is piracy.

Let's all support Degica. Be sure to back the KgNE kickstarter.

see

Kek. Didn't you just start learning Japanese a few months ago? You probably don't even know enough to read anything at a comfortable level, but you're already condescending? Lol.

>i-it's just shitposting! mangashiller would never shill!

see

Just report and ignore.

I'm not desperate unlike you EOPs, that's the thing :^)

You're desperate enough to learn another language for loli porn, so yeah, you are

We all have the desperation to taste ultimate kamige (pic very related)

>anything by mareni
>kamige
lol

The trial left no doubts

>mods actually deleted proof of shilling

I guess they're in on it too

It's sad that not even Liar-Soft produces only Kamige.
Luckily we still have Type-Moon for that.

Type-moon is bad

The mods deleted a shitpost. And a few literal-whos in a chatroom crying about nothing isn't proof.

...

Hello mod-kun

If I was the mod I probably would've deleted a few other posts in here as well, so no.

You're going to buy Please Bang my Wife right /vn/?

Stupid flower girl

After I'm done purchasing Corona Blossom

stop all this LE EBIN ironic shilling.

That's after buying Fata Morgana correct?

You're joking right? I bought that ages ago.

/vn/ should have a unique captcha that requires a valid fata morgana serial code to pass

Buy it again just to be sure

That is the proper OP, retard.

I'll get it when the inevitable hardcopy is announced.

I liked it, but I don't like buying digital copies of anything.
