Man, I thought Senri was going to be annoying to read because of that Coldsteel style description, but Haruto ended up being like 10 times more obnoxious.

Hi there
Ethan Russell
An obnoxious protagonist is a sign of a good read. (Shirou) I myself find SJ quite engaging, pulled 2 all-nighters already. Other chuunige such as Dies irae has better plot, but I can stop halfway to go to sleep.
Jaxson Hughes
Just finished SJ and well... It didn't really leave any impression I guess
Jayden Hernandez
I don't like Fate and I can't stand Shirou.
Jayden Flores
>An obnoxious protagonist is a sign of a good read. That's some bullshit there.
Jaxson Scott
Being obnoxious means that he has some personality is subject to potential character development.
Kevin Martin
And that would mean it would be reliant on the writing. And the story has to have a scenario good enough for the obnoxious protagonist to play with. So no, having an obnoxious protagonist doesn't mean a good read.
Easton Garcia
I never said it means a good read.
Thomas Robinson
This lacrosse shit is tiresome. I understand why it needs to be there, but it couldn't be any more boring
James Clark
You were supporting whoever made the first post so what gives? Otherwise what is your point?
Aiden Fisher
Do you have reading comprehension issues?
Tyler Davis
Yeah.
Nathaniel Myers
age should make a lacrosse VN
Joshua Richardson
Thank god Mikoto came back to give me a reprieve from this shit.
Only if it means I won't have to see it again in another VN of theirs.
Nathaniel Ortiz
I take back what I said. I love lacrosse.

Landon Moore
Are you gay?
Jaxon Moore
This scene where Takeru rips everyone a new one is pretty great.
Before this I would say no. But there is something about Mikoto I can not deny. Perhaps my penchant for tomboys was a gateway drug.
Jacob Green
If you like Saber, you should unironically hang yourself. Worm slut best girl.
Jack Wilson
Saber is cute.
Carter Miller
>Perhaps my penchant for tomboys was a gateway drug. So your taste for girls who look like boys turned into a taste for boys who look like girls?
Robert Reyes
I would say rather than "turned into", my taste instead "expanded" to include it, yes. It's a bit troubling.
Thomas Roberts

Isn't that just a girl that is bad at looking like a boy?
Lincoln Phillips
In all seriousness, has translating Renna made Trip reconsider doing the fandisc? Assuming you two don't burn out on Hoshi Ori/other toneworks games.
Nicholas Hughes
I've decided not to take a look at the Virgin Road anymore.
If (when?) Trip formally decides we're not doing Virgin Road then I've just been hurting myself the entire time.
Sebastian Walker
Fuck off shitposter.
Jace Cooper
The biggest issue Trip has with the Tsujidou franchise is Hiroshi.
It's safe to say that he likes Yuuma more, pretty sure he talked about this in his "I hate Maki route" blogpost.
>I like Yuuma from Hatsukoi better than Hiroshi, to be honest. There may have been some bad writing that made readers tear their hair out at times in Hatsukoi, but he at least had this general character theme of wanting, or perhaps daring, to immerse himself in an extracurricular activity again after his incident with basketball. The cafeteria committee stays as a major theme throughout most of the routes in Hatsukoi, and several of the routes feature him earnestly trying his best to better himself and the committee he runs. I think Yuuma was a decent protagonist.
>In contrast, I find Hiroshi somewhat flat. He seems to have maybe three traits—two of which seem to be tailored to make him uninteresting and the last of which seems to be to justify having exotic h-scenes. He’s a “really nice guy,” he’s completely against violence of any kind for any reason at all, and he’s a closet pervert with the sex drive of a horse that allegedly killed Catherine the Great. Or maybe in that situation he has the sex drive of Catherine the Great? The urban legend’s something about her dying while having sex with… whatever.
>But Hiroshi’s second trait seems to be exclusively there just to ruin the point of the VN [for me, at least]. If the main selling point of the VN you’re reading is that all of the main heroines are delinquents, then you’d expect some cool fights and presumably delinquency. I’m sure I’ll get into this more once I review Tsujidou, but it’s like the writers were very, very careful to make sure that this game stayed away from its outward premise, what with “if it weren’t for enjoying fights, Ai would be a normal girl” and “Renna and the rest of her group just don’t seem suited to being delinquents.”
>But anyway, back to the point, Hiroshi’s vocal dislike of violence of any kind, even fighting someone to help your friends, seems to be just another way the VN steers clear of its delinquent premise. It was especially evident in Ai route, where the entire conflict in the relationship is about Ai getting into fights. I find it really annoying.
Juan Long
Yeah.
Jayden Parker
Stop giving (You)s.
William Clark
>he likes Yuuma more
Levi Garcia
Is she getting married to Otou-san?
Brody Morris
>The biggest issue Trip has with the Tsujidou franchise is Hiroshi. Ah, right. Sorry I was going from memory and thought his biggest problem was with Maki herself. I guess I can understand not wanting to translate more of a protaganist you hate, individual routes are one thing but I can't imagine forcing myself through a project where I hate 90% of what is said.
Ethan Bell
I guess to each his own, but hes not a delinquent, so it only makes sense for him to not want to see his GF not get into fights and potentially get hurt.
Delinquent theme is a fun premise, but they took a lighthearted approach to it all, which I do enjoy.
Cameron Martin
>Ah, right. Sorry I was going from memory and thought his biggest problem was with Maki herself.
Well, it obviously connects a bit. Maki being the way she is, is only possible because Hiroshi is acting like a doormat all the time.

Henry Bennett
holy shit you fucking faggots fuck off already if you don't want to talk about visual novels
Joseph Nguyen
I could keep droning on about any thought that passes through my head while reading a VN if you'd like.
Dominic White
I thought Trip just wanted cute girls? Whats cuter than Ai?
James Lopez
Slut
Grayson Diaz
NTR Pregnancy!!!
Luke Lewis
the fuck are you on about? We're discussing a pair of MC's being complete faggots.
Anthony Peterson
He's not, Hiroshi has a few really fucking good scenes like that when she rescues Kumiko, Yuuma's cool scene count is at -1 (for that verbal beatdown from the council vice-president).
Aiden Ramirez
No you are talking about some chink faggot. PM them on twitter or something instead of ruining the general. God damnit, even DDLC shitposting is better than this.
Isaac James
user, do you ever think you have some irrational hatred towards someone? Or even general anger issues? We're still very much talking about VNs.
