Read his visual novel.

Reminder that HImawari was trash and Conjueror is a fraud

Which girl will be keeping you company this Valentines day?

Rosie palm.

acid

Best boy

The most trustworthy one.

A shit ton of booze and a random VN. I hope I don't end up on /pol/ again, but it always seems to happen if I get too buzzed.

I need my SuckiSucki

My wife and whatever visual novel I can force myself to read.

but you have a wife, spend it with her you fuck.

Probably Mayucchi. That ass deserves a monkey spank.

I have a good feeling about this.

>tfw just finished meikyuu last week
>tfw no time to get into a new VN for valentines day
fucking kill me. I guess i'll just ask for a shift at work or something.

I do spend my time with her.

But I also like reading. It also helps a bit to keep my sanity because I fucked up what fun means for me a while back.

I was supposed to work tomorrow (actually today it's 12:01am here) but worked today and got tomorrow off probably going to play Nekopara Vol 2 and maybe 0.

Anyone know the guy who first came up with the idea to have the freaky femdom type girls in eroge VNs always turn submissive at the end of their routes? because my soul will never rest until I remove them from this world

same. Like i'm fine with them lessening their domness or whatever, but they seem to almost always go FULL dere and its kinda disappointing.

^_^

trash

You have my axe.
Fuck that shit and whoever came up with it.

I'm ok with them mellowing a bit if they are in love, but not that faggotry.

stupid retard

Is there even anyone on this planet who denies she's best Grisaia?

dumb mitcher

Is umianon dead?

You know, I've read about 150 VNs, and there is this reoccurring theme of the protagonist having some male sidekick that is annoying as all fuck. It seems like it's really difficult for writers to insert that male sidekick character in a way that adds more to the story than detracts from it.

And then we have Shiki & Kosuke ... Circus has had shit writing for a long time, don't get me wrong, but this was pure brilliance. They made the male sidekick enjoyable by giving him a female sidekick.

Shiki is so engaging, that you found yourself really, really, really wishing she had her own route because of her personality, plus her identity as a puppet, would have been actually interesting (as opposed to the rest of the shit characters and bland story arcs).

So while Kosuke is a 4/10 when it comes to male sidekicks, his 9/10 female sidekick being paired with him makes his presence a lot more tolerable. Well done, Circus.

user...

Will Trump be in a VN some day? Will his title be God Emperor?

Where is umi anony?

My Girlfriend is the President 2 better be in the works

How would it even be fun to play as Donald Trump in a VN? The girls wouldn't need routes because you'd just grab them by the pussy.

Thats the best part

t. vile asshole

bruh, just pick up a moege.

>play as America-tan
>have to pick between Bernie, Hillary (Yuri route), Donald and Ted
>Bernie is this dorky glasses type who is weird and nobody likes
>Hillary is a scheming dominant type with connections and ulterior motives who crushes her enemies
>Ted is the super pious one who prays to God every day and just wants people to be happy
>Donald is the sexy hunk who everyone in school wants to be with
>No matter who you go with, Hillary goes yandere and tries to crush them

What is /vn/'s opinion on Good Haro?

GOOD point. I think a lot of it has to do with the writers thinking: The side character can't be better than the MC, and he needs to engender comedy, so make him a goofy pervert! or a lame shadow to make MC shine brighter! Or so on. Rarely are they approached with "how do we make a good character". I mean in the first place, any male except the MC is out of the picture in moege from the beginning. Moege are about a relationship between the MC and a heroine. By default a male side character won't play a big part in that picture, so they aren't given much attention by the developers.

In the end though, that's a mistake. Good male characters like pic related can really help a game be enjoyable, creating more of a group dynamic than a "5 girls talking to MC separately at the same time"

He's already in a OELVN otome game if that's your taste.

Actually, How about a VN with (an older) Barron as the protag? Like, you got routes with Ivanka, Tiffany, Milania , Chelsea clinton and i'm sure you can fit a naid and a nanny or smthn in the story. (you may have to make a couple of the girls pretty for the route)

i think it'd make a decent moege

>sexualizing the Barron

Who said there were H-Scenes? You sick bastard.

>moege
>no h-scenes
>no porn in pornography
Uhhh?

>all-ages
This discussion is over.

i dont see "has tons of sex" in the definition

Suginami and Kanae in DC1 kinda.

Funnily enough the Rance series is one of the few eroge which actually bothers developing male characters.

Especially Rance IX where Patton is pretty much the secondary protagonist with his own love story and Freak, Rick and Hubert all get massive development.

Somebody post the pastebin for galaxy angel

Are they right?

Rance is boring trash.

No. Princess Evangile is kamige and it was obviously too deep for them to understand.

Yeah, there are tons of better moege out there

i mean, its hard to suggest it for that VN, cos barrons so CUUUTE, but hypothetically it could be done . in a non sexy way. Like a puppy

>/pol/ in MY /vn/

GET OUT

hey bruh, chances are barrons gonna be /ourguy/ in the future

Why does herkz always seem so buttblasted all the time? What's up with the guy?

>barron may be shitposting with us about VNs right now

Yamato, Hermit crab lover and serial rapist.

>Circus has had shit writing for a long time

They haven't made anything good since Suika, probably. That game is a real gem.

He's a full blown SJW. They're all like that.

tfw that japs visit to america the other day was secretly just barron getting him there to tell him to make better VNs

She's ok but has bad opinions.

top kek
Doesn't seem like the kid is having fun. Perfect candidate for one of those
>My feet hurt
>Why are all these people here?
>I want to go home
>I wonder what my waifu is doing

He rapes more? Chris' route was retarded enough.

Yes, Majikoi S is pretty gnarly

To be fair he's like 10 years old and that was at around 3 in the morning or something
I would've probably had been passed out at that age

>Osana 2
>previous characters make appearances
>new cast though
>Trump's genderswap is a confident liar, bulldozes though anything, and manages to stay clean despite all the ruckus
>Bernie is megane. Bernie is chill.
>Hillary is just a side character
>President of Mexico gets an appearance
>bold, tan girl who constantly fights with trump
>Hillary's swap is constantly crying and keeps being told in this alternate universe that "Men can't properly lead the nation."

pic related

Fuck you.
DCI is kamige. It's just that other games copied their formula to death that now it looks generic as fuck.

ermm.. wat? wasn't expecting that.

reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/5tcoe8/sekai_project_unfortunately_current_market/

>all that damage control
Can Sekai even go a week without fucking something up

it's kind of sad. do a giveaway to improve public opinion one week, and then undo it all the next week

too many sad backstories involving rape, now my boner cannot be contained
why do the japs have to do this

Rape is normal user.

emotionally it feels incorrect given the connection to the characters

where would the human race be without rape though?

You can't rape the willing user.

>sekai
>reddit
i swear my disgust became tangible for moment

Which company deserves my money/ i've been pirating all my VNs because of no job but now that I'm a wagecuck again who should I support?

user, you do know that most people on this thread go on r/visualnovels anyway? Look at how the Quof 'ourguy' meme spread to twitter and reddit.

They're all shit. Learn Japanese and then buy from the developers directly.

no shit sherlock

I don't desu

Why do people here not like KS? i thought it was great.

I liked it, but I'm a pleb so my opinion doesn't matter

Nobody hates it here dude, most of us love it. It was one of the first VNs I played before I even knew what VNs were.

huh, i saw a couple of people saying its babbies first vn. guess i took the wrong meaning.

It's the most mediocre entry-level garbage there is. You can tell how new someone is by how much they like it.

didn't read, don't plan to, seems okay

I don't play evns, sorry.

How many VNs does /VN/ have I have 314gb worth.

why

5

2 TB

Why not lol

You have my respect anony. I will try to live up to your expectations.

15 installed right now

>tfw I have a bunch of untranslated VNs I can't even fucking read on my hard drive because I love masturbating to CGs while having some japanese girl wisper sweet things into my ears that I don't understand

281GB. I cleared a fair amount out recently. That doesn't include the games like Sengoku Rance or Kamidori, which are 40GB

Nukige are at 458. Again, I've been clearing some older ones out that I don't like that much.

So Clannad's on sale, should I buy it?
