This kamige is really making me think

If Subahibi doesn't come out today I'm ending it.

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard.

first best girl post for best girl

I wish Japan would die.

...

I see.................

Are there any good Visual Novels that express anti-nationalist themes?

>Swapping Party and Please Bang My Wife released
>no torrents
Cucked out of the cuck experience.

Fuck off you liberal yahoo

I wish I could princess carry an Asuho

Threadly reminder
Asuho a shit

No, her route is shit. She's alright. Though her voice is so high pitched at times it's a bit grating to listen to.

There's nothing like anal sex while you're constipated!

Why is this Visual Novel so fucking good?

Because you're an EOP and never tasted something actually good.

Wrong OP. Read the rules, retard.

Please bang my wife is up on GG

Who's pirating Please Bang my Wife with me here?

Not me.

>who's destroying the VN industry with me here?
disgusting

Please upload it for those of us who don't belong to the secret clubs.

kill yourself pirate we buy our visual novels around here

I want to cum inside Chino.

You get to enter the world of your favorite VN, but only the worst girl of that VN can fall in love with you. All other girls don't care for you. Wat do /vn/?

This kind of posts are garbage, please refrain from posting them and kill yourself if possible.

>Implying not all girls are awesome in my favorite VN

aww looks like someone desperately needs a hug

Your post made me realize none of the VNs I've read have a setting that would draw me in on its own merits. It's all either normal life, normal life with a little magic, sci fi dystopia, or a fantasy world which would just be hard to live in.

What is the best VN on Steam?
Steins;Gate?

Sakura series.

Princess Evangile

Torrent's out for Please Bang My Wife

sukebei.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=656537

It's difficult to boil the title down to one word.

shieeet. Im not sure what my favorite is, since I like so many.

Princess Evangile
>get rich
>worst girl is still cute
>and rich

Easy

dude

LMAO

XD

>kikokugai
NOPE

I just want Michiru to be happy ;_;

Place your bets.

Fraternite and some unknown nukige.

Haro already said they don't plan on doing it and that it's unfinished rushed garbage

>Only cuck shit release in sight
I'm going to literally kill myself

That's what happens when you get a semen enema from your dad.

pls no more garbage clockup titles

It's pretty ironic, EOPs are cucks and they literally get an official cuck title named "Please Bang My Wife"

Holy shit I can't stop laughing

haha nice dude, eop cucks amirite

It's time to learn Japanese!

What an ugly animu girl.

JOPs are the ultimate cucks. They get tricked into spending years of their limited time in this life on learning a dead language for power point porn, and then all of the worthwhile titles are being localized anyhow.

JUST
KEK

Ew, I'm not that much of a loser lol

Months away or no?

Are there any decent places to buy VNs online? Looking to pick up Kamidori Alchemy Meister since I've put like 300 hours into it and still want to keep playing.


Iirc theres J-list but don't they fuck you on the prices? No local conventions to troll through for a couple months either


Thanks anons

Give it a year. The medium is picking up so much Steam that everything that JOPs have been honeydicking us with over the years will be localized. Really makes you think.

>mfw senmomo is brought over instead

J list only sells JAST stuff, there's Mangagamer, Steam and denpasoft for digital downloads, mangagamer also has a bunch of physical releases.

If you want kamidori you're going to have to check Mandarake or Yahoo Auctions jp for a copy then use a proxy to import it to wherever you live.

Rance, SonoHana and mayyyyybe Grisaia are coming in the next month. SonoHana is probably the one coming the soonest.

I gotcha, thanks much

Reading anything in it's original language will still provide for a much better experience than reading something in translation, especially when it comes to a language like Japanese.

The western visual novel scene is dying. Things are being brought over but no one buys them. Expect the translations to stop coming once companies realize there isn't any money to be made.

Literally no one cares, though. Even a mediocre localization is better than wasting time on learning a language just for Japanese media.

It's not. More and more crap is being localized each year, and even just a couple of thousand copies sold is a profit in this market. S;G sold 15k copies on Steam recently at like $30 - $35 each. If anything, this just motivates more clueless developers to have their products localized.

dlsite.com and getchu.com

>localization companies die
>we go back to fan translations

how is this a bad thing?

fan translators aren't usually good or committed

Learning a language is better than wasting time on Veeky Forums like you are.

Fan translation is what's dying, Famicom. Remember when those VNTS lists were filled almost exclusively with fan translation projects (90% of which still haven't been finished years later)? Yeah, it's the polar opposite now.

I might suggest install VNR (with all the dictionaries and extras) and dedicate a month or two to learn Japanese grammar and anki cards.
You'll be able to follow everything except the most convoluted prose.

>VNR
How about no. If you're going to be a pseudo-JOP, at least use the Firefox/Rikaisama text-hooking method. Still won't understand jack fucking shit, and a 20 hour VN takes 40.

I'm still reading yotsubato raws and my wagecuck job sucks the life out of me, so I don't expect to be reading original VNs in like two or three years.

>tfw can't read Yotsubato raws
Why does nothing teach me slang or casual nip speak

One guy started reading Subahibi after three months of learning Japanese, it's definitely doable.

>Still won't understand jack fucking shit, and a 20 hour VN takes 40.
More like 80 or 120 if not higher. The difference in speed between a native and a learner is immense. I once read a VN without looking up words almost at all, keeping up a steady pace, yet still took twice as long as a native. Someone relying on a dictionary even with Rikai will be way slower than twice a native.
Ironically, it's best to read harder material because it conforms to the rules more often. That way when they're broken (e.g. words are slurred) you know what's happening a lot easier.
Yeah, and he doubtlessly misunderstood a lot while trudging through at a slow pace. I presume user meant competently reading with high comprehension and a good speed.

Thank you.

I can't learn Japanese.

Every year, Visual Novel fans wonder why Japanese VNs aren't being taken more seriously by critics. I get it; just look at the blend of history and tradition in Clannad, Katawa Shoujo, or Lucid 9 to glimpse the versatility and sophistication Visual Novels have to offer. Why then are Visual Novels not taken seriously?

And then the otaku shrug their shoulders and go back to conversations about who the best girl is, whose waifu is trash, and how irrational anyone must be to playing a VN as soon as female characters show some T&A.

Here’s a thought: maybe critics would be more enthusiastic if the face of Visual Novels weren’t pro-Gamergate, anti-Ghostbusters trolls. I wonder how many people who were once neutral towards Visual Novels have developed an instinctive aversion to it, associating Visual Novel girls with anonymous entitlement?

Here’s another thought: maybe that’s not unfair. Maybe becoming the visual of choice for misogynistic harassers is the unsurprising result of a fandom that has spent years normalizing the objectification of women.

If Himawari doesn't come out today I'm ending it.

Maybe I just have high standards b/c I study literature, but the prose in F/SN is really inexcusably bad.
Some parts are the result of the translation, but others (like the godawful repetitiveness) cannot be.
I think the sexual violence is actually falsely represented as the only misogynist stuff in F/SN. Even w/o it, that series is sexist.
Nasu has stated in interviews that his idea for the Fate route was Saber "discovering her femininity" through bangin' Shirou, which is, um-
-kindaaaaa a super sexist proposition. Man writing about WHAT IS FEMININITY. Turns out badass King Arthur is a sad little girl inside. ):
It's not just the sex scenes, it's bad attitudes about women & sex implicit from the game's worldview.
"No ideological bias" is really just code for "conforms with the dominant ideological bias." We live in air so it's invisible.
Review "without ideological bias" is the new "objective" review.

If I don't cum today, I'm ending it.

You might be taking this whole porn novel thing a little too seriously.

I think you're all missing the point when it comes to removing h-scenes. Here, I'll put it simply:

Unlike Japan, the West is not a giant misogynistic boys club. Here, where women are seen as equals, we must all do our part to make a whole half of the human race feel comfortable (no rape jokes, letting girls know it's okay if they don't shave... Removing misogynistic sex scenes.)

Reading VNs as a Western woman is already bad enough (my best friend who is female told me). We shouldn't make it harder by allowing racist, sexist scenes to stay in VNs.

>tfw Starless is fucking garbage with the most drawn out and redundant h scenes ever
Damn thesaurus rex writer repeating himself over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I literally thought I had somehow managed to accidentally replay the first h-scene when it started dragging on for more than an hour and every other sentence was a redundant repetition of the previous. Why is this allowed?

When did /vn/ become this uncomfy? Please leave.

You might be taking his whole shitpost thing a little too much at face value

It gets tiring after a while, user.

What's that? You posted on Veeky Forums? Created a meme? Got repeating digits?

Well, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you; the monkey learned a trick. Look at you, uploading comments. You're already spewing your vile filth all over the computer, huh?

Congratulations! You must have an IQ in the double digits! Here's a little piece of advice. The next time you're gonna unload your jealousies and inadequacies online, here's a little piece of advice. Here's a little piece of advice, slick. Next time you're gonna go on the computer (mommy and daddy bought you a new computer!), and you're going to unload your jealousy and inadequacies on somebody else, on a stranger? Just make sure you don't pick Sam Geno, the son of the Papa Geno Pizza empire. I've bought people like you. I've destroyed people like you.

It's nothing for me to call up my father, and have every pizza jockey in the nation have a photo of you, right above their oven. Thinking about you, my personal army of pizza makers. They'll put sauce on you. They'll lay you out. Swing you around in the air just like in the old movies. Then they'll destroy you. Piece by piece. Piece by delicious piece. Cheesy piece by cheesy crusty piece. They'll destroy you. That's option one. Option two is you can apologize to me. Just say you're sorry. Takes a big man to apologize, don't it? Humble yourself before a god, a pizza god?

These leftist copy pastas are getting old

only Isuzu can save this dying thread

First time self-inserter here. Just bought Pleae Bang My Wife. How many fingers would you recommend for maximum immersion?

>barely any hype for Please Bang My Wife

>posting scat, the character

user please

Dear Sam Gino,
I thought you were bullshitting when you uploaded this last year. I thought nothing of it.
I lived my life normally all through the year. I even moved out of my folks place after they bought me that new computer. I guess that moved merely delayed the inevitable. It’s funny how time can lull one into a false sense of security.
I’m sure you know how it all works but, this is for anyone else who might think it would be funny to bad mouth you.
It was 3 months ago, I had a craving for a pizza so I ordered one online to have it delivered to my place. I waited around 45 minuets for my cheesy treat, an average time for where I live. I was watching the Hut Hut Hut Futbol Hour™ on the TV when I got a knock at the door. I opened up the door and was pleased that it was the delivery man. He was looking down at his pizza sleeve and about to say what my total was when he got a look at my face.
He paused for a long time so I cut in to the silence “ H-how much will the ‘za be?”
All he said was “it’s on tha house.”
I was dumbfounded, my mom always said I was handsome but I didn’t think I was handsome enough to get butt-pirate delivery man to pay for my pizza’s. “Yum, yum big boi, cheesey delight, is everything correct?”
“Yes, it’s the best looking pizza I have ever seen.”
“Good.”
His warm smile melted into a scowl as he hurled my pizza onto the roof of my apartment. My happiness quickly turned to terror. He ran back to his car, all the while I screamed and raved about my pizza.
Ever since then there have been strange things happening to me. From waking up with a knife driven into my bed while I slept, to my refrigerator being emptied and filled up with jars of urine.
I don’t know what they are going to do next and I fear for my life. A large, burly man wearing a greasy wife beater comes and knocks on my door sometimes. I would move but my landlord shoots me the same look the pizza delivery man did that day.

>tfw having a girlfriend/wife is a requirement to get off on this
MG has the wrong impression of their audience.

...

Release something already.
