When it comes to that, patience is the name of the game. Just keep reading Japanese for a year or two and you'll be good. There's no way to speed it up. If you insist on translating while bad at Japanese without waiting, I suggest working on mediocre nukige. In those cases, there's almost no chance of them being translated otherwise, and readers won't mind bad TLs of them so much (as long as the English is good), so in the end it won't be a big deal. Though it may tarnish your reputation, so releasing it anonymously may be wise. By the way, the problem with translating usually amounts to size, that is, a Taba scene could be an easy 500-1000, but a full VN will be anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 which really wears down on one psychologically. Not an insurmountable wall, just noting that people don't tend to give up 1,000 lines into something, it's usually 5,000 out of 30,000 or something, cause they've been working for a month or more and aren't even close to being done.

A reminder that liking traps are gay, and this is coming from someone whose fetish is cross-dressing and self-inserts as traps.
Ayy, Welcome back umibro

Amana route spoilers: If she only wanted to fuck Yuuji to punish herself, what the fuck is she doing in that scene? Is she just that much of a whore? It doesn't really make sense.
Carter Kelly
I wish, too lazy to shave as of late.
>but self-inserting as traps makes you gay Everybody's got a little gay in them. I've just got enough that I want to pretend I'm a cute girl but not want to suck dick or get fucked in the ass.

Its so tragic how fantastic Harukoi's chibi art was, but how insufferable all of the writing was. It wasn't even Koiken-type mediocre writing, it was just straight up awful.
Landon Morgan
>It wasn't even Koiken-type mediocre writing Harukoi is not SO bad, user.
Zachary Turner
opinions on noble works?
Kevin Adams
>Its said that inside of every straight person is a gay one trying to get out.
Who the fuck says that? I can only assume you're posting from your SafeSpace at some ""college"" in California where their primary goal is brainwashing kids into believing liberal horseshit about refugees-of-peace and having 48 different genders.
Get over yourself, kusoge-user. Koiken was decent, it's just that the writing couldn't even come close to holding a candle to the absurd production values, so it looked worse in comparison.
Harukoi's only redeeming feature was the chibi art. The only routes that were even tolerable were the ones with the most chibi art in them, because they really broke up the monotony of the godawful writing and absurdly forced drama, e.g. Sonya's and Kisaya's. Umi's and Yuika's routes were both just painful, Riru's route somehow managed to be probably the single worst route I've ever read in a moege, and I never even read the other girl who just stops existing ever in all the other routes.

Xavier Brooks
The biggest problem about Koiken Otome was it tried to be a moege/chuunige hybrid and it suffered from it because the action was terrible and there was just too much of it instead of the moe. It just ended up doing neither well.
Sebastian Watson
I just had a flashback of when Irru introduced the characters of Hatsukoi. In my shitty memory he introduced 4 characters but isn't there 5 in Hatsukoi?

>has anything changed since then?
Since last June?
Sekai specifically has expanded Denpasoft significantly along with starting a strong push towards Vita. Although their huge announcement last July (Baldr Sky) kind of fell flat and ran into a logistical nightmare when they were unable to make a deal with Aroduc. They have also been unable to get any of their new titles design to be viral hits since then to really take off, with them ranging from mild successes to disappointments.
For the industry as a whole plenty of new companies are involved in localizations and a ton of large announcements were made during the Summer convention season through now, although a lot of that is momentum from the Steam craze which has dropped off significantly during that time. The console market looks quite promising with Vita looking particularly promising for VNs. There has also been an increase focus on 18+ platforms, with special mention of Nutaku throwing a ton of cash around.
