Swan song actually.

I really enjoyed Swan Song until the """true""" ending, fucking hell, that was one of the most rushed endings I've ever seen. Normal end almost made me cry though. Good VN overall.

Normal was fucking suffering.

Indeed. Watching the majority of your friends get raped and/or killed by a group lead by a NEET lunatic then listening to your girlfriend tell you she actually hates your guts just before you die is pure depression kino.
And now I'm gonna venture into KnS. Wish me luck.

GRIP STRENGTH

Is this Swan Song?

>NEET lunatic
He is LITERALLY what Sup Forums would be like in a post-apocalyptic situation.

Futari no Hakuoro, I don't remember the last time I've felt so invested in something.

It's annoying Underwater Ray Romono's PSP fan-translation seems to have been stalled indefinitely. I feel I should replay the original again before starting on the two new games.

hey

finished majikoi a-2 last week
working on da capo 2 now

Finished Saya no Uta. Almost dropped it because one scene. My dick made me come back to it and finish all endings.

i'm "playing" this atm

>I feel I should replay the original again before starting on the two new games.
i always get the opposite feeling, i usually can't play a sequel immediately after finishing something, i usually have to read at least one other thing in between

patrician taste, 2 never ever

Subarashiki Hibi

Kimika best girl.

Waiting for C;C.

t. delusional neet

danganronpa 2

Yes

Started reading this because everyone says it's kamige but it's boring so far. When does it get good?

I'm reading Umineko's third chapter, by Beatrice vs his master fight, but I'm not having fun.

Does this novel get better? I liked the mystery and debates, I hate this naruto stuff

2 is almost out of testing, expect a release in 1-2 months

After the first chapter.

i feel like they say that every month

The chuuni fights are always present
Also, stop reading after 6 if you want any mystery left

>he doesn't get why the naruto stuff is there
Also unless you hated Rosa vs the goats in Ep 2( which if you do it proves you have literal shit taste), you will enjoy the rest of the fights way more

Trying to play through UDG at the moment. I almost wish it was a straight up VN because the gameplay segments just seem to drag things out more than necessary.

> I liked the mystery and debates, I hate this naruto stuff
I enjoyed everything up to Ep6, but yeah a lot of people were put off as the series further removed itself from murder mystery into magical entities having magic battles amongst several new entities that keep popping up ever chapter.

...

>set a lot of plot points
>resolve none of them

That pic makes the VN look extremely edgy when in reality hits pretty hard
>captcha:MIGUEL Hills

Was literally about to post this.
The House in Fata Morgana is fucking crazy ride.

>That scene after the fire, when everything is buried by snow
It was scary how peaceful and empty everything felt, like nothing had even happened.

That was one of the best scenes.

Really don't know whether to envy or pity that guy.

>stopping on a reading session of fata morgana after you reach the point where the crazy ride starts
It'sl ike you don't want to cum buckets of sadness at the climax of the story

>expect true ending to explain most of these plot points, especially what the fuck the earthquake did
>it actually is just lmao everyone's magically happy now that you beat the bad guys up lets plant sunflower seeds

I may hate the true ending a lot, but it was a really good ride anyways. Lots of hype scenes like when they fought the religious dudes or when the hospital was burnt down and people were stabbed. Still haven't found a similar VN.

Yeah I had to drop UDG because the monokuma kid rooms were just an absolute bore. wound up just watching the ending cutscene on youtube before watching DR3

>Not raping the ONE person he promised he'd rape, instead he just raped everyone else

Note even Rance is that cruel

And the most hype VN scene award goes to...

I reread it every so often, but it's never as good as the first time.

I'm glad I read Fata Morgana pretty early off a random rec.
I didn't really have any expectations going in.

That's literally the best way to start. I picked it up because I thought the art style was unique and had no idea what to expect going in either.

Finished C;C couple days ago and have been playing chronobox on and off. Just finished fuuka's "route".

It's intentionally boring

Jacopo a best

"intentionally bad controls" for visual novels

Finally my mental state is ready to continue with Kara no Shoujo 2. I barely wanted to do anything for a few days after finishing 1.

A lot of stuff. Just like video games, I've found it hard for me to actually get motivated enough to start up a game or VN and just play/read it. I'm pretty close to finishing Umineko P4 and Muv-Luv though Beatrice and Chiaki are the best girls of their respective series.

Last VN I finished was YU-NO. My God did that VN blow me the fuck out of the water. Are the mechanics a bit dated? Totally. But the story, music and characters MORE than make up for having to fumble through a walkthrough-guide for 127 hours. So hyped for the anime!

Threadly reminder that Chaos;Head is absolute trash

Literally better than the mess that was Steins;Gate

Wrong opinion but it gets kinda shitty at the end.

The three Grisaia games were on sale this week so I got them all, did I do good Sup Forums

>buying VNs
No you fucking idiot

Try to justify this claim

Overrated series, but still fun. Good comedy.

I finished the Fate route in FSN recently. Having trouble making myself go back into it to read UBW. Is it that good? Even though I've had a few of the big twists spoiled for me? It's a pretty big time investment, and it feels like a lot of it is going to be retreading what happened in Fate route.

I wouldn't say ABSOLUTE. It had a lot of potential before at the start when it was intriguing to try to work out what was real and what was the protagonist's delusions.

Then everyone started pulling magic swords out of their asses and I stopped caring.

It seems like a decent enough series. I really need to sit down and play the patched versions on my Vita.

Yeah, Fate is the shittiest route but it's necessary for worldbuilding and stuff. Also what did you get spoiled on? I'll tell you if it's really important or not.

Yes it is.
UBW is only similar up to the point where Saber injures Archer right at the start. Without that happening, things take a MAJOR detour. Fate is probably the route that drags the most so UBW feels less like an ordeal as well.

I tried reading umineko
It was taking way too fucking long before I even got introduced to all characters so I stopped
VNs really aren't my thing, other than S;G

What should I play next, Karano Shoujo, Route B of root double, remember11 or Saya no Uta?

UBW is a direct improvement
Shirou is better and less autistic,Saber is better and less autistic, fights are better, antagonists are better, battle royale aspect has more depth
Twists don't matter that much
HF is literally nothing like Fate or UBW

Mostly just Redman is Shirou for UBW and pretty much everything involving Sakura for HF. Also rape, rape everywhere. I guess I'll try to power through the start of it, then.

I'm about to start the last route in Root Double, but I need to go back and collect all the heroine flags before I do so. I don't really want to do it.

Saya no Uta. might as well have something lighthearted and fun.

Remember11 of course. Then finish root double.

>a 120+ hours long VN takes too long to introduce characters so I dropped it
Why even start reading it then?

If you want a taste of Umineko's writing style without devoting a hundred hours, you should try Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni. Pretty damn cool game. Just be ready for a lot of rape, right from the get-go.

I love Umineko but I guess I don't blame you.
I feel like you have to work your way up to reading that monstrosity.

I went in expecting 120 hours of action not old ass maids

Umineko DOES have a lot of characters.
I'll never understand how a murder mystery game can finish with 3 times as many characters as it started with.

Can someone recommend me some vanilla, very sweet visual novels? Like It doesn't have just one romance route, but stuff that has very sweet and romantic hetero romance? No bait and switches, please

Dies Irae, just finished Marie's route and i'm on to read the epilogue later.

TFW
>IN THE SHADE AND DARKNESS

>Mystery novel
>action
Nigger what
The old maid had like 3 scenes before the first murders happened, how did she trigger you so much

>tfw almost shed a tear at Marie's epilogue
it was some good shit
also get ready because rea's route is even better

Does it live up to the hype?

Reading this.

Kind of tangentially related to VN's, but I watched the Steins;Gate movie the other night. It's not good. I mean, I liked the character interactions, and there were some pretty emotional moments, but the plot sucks (and directly contradicts the VN/anime), and the pacing took a nosedive in the third act. Coul've been like 20 minutes shorter. And while I like the dub and its scripts a lot, Kurisu saying "upvote" was appalling

Imaginary magic characters that represent tricks. Imaginary magic characters that represent mystery rules. The detective arriving from a boat. Characters from the future that investigate the past.
Imaginary characters that represent the writer and a character's alter ego and the guns become characters and then the maid and the butler have alter egos.

Then add Lambda and Bernkastel for the hell of it.

>Calling Steins;Gate a mess in defense of Chaos;Head which actually is a fucking mess
Okay.

>Watching dub

It's not the kamige some people claim it to be, but it's pretty damn good and fun. Definitely a must read.

...

>dub

Whats the name of this?

don't listen to this poster, this is actually NTR

The stakes are all characters too. I'm honestly sad that there was no Small Bombs-chan.

Unironically Fata Morgana has one of the sweetest love stories if you get past all the suffering

Gin'iro, Haruka

the dub is fantastic for the show. better than the sub, since Daru doesn't sound like a caricature of a nerd. That movie line is the only real problem I have with it

oh god

user, I normally let people have their tastes regarding the subs vs dubs debate, but Steins;Gate dubbed is objectively an inferior product to the subs because they shamelessly swap out Japanese internet culture with American internet culture.

Oh yeah and how could I forget characters that are the manifestation of a tranny's mystery gender.

Definetely, I mean it depends if you like what Dies Irae is about. It's a chunni VN completely aware of it, it's a battle story so most of it are fights that start somewhat grounded and then with ridiculous bullshit going on. The common route and the First route can get quite boring at some point like most VNs, but it has really good fights there too.

The OST is great

And there's also this glorious motherfucker

>no Small Bombs-chan

I like the dub too user.

Ahahaha, I never finished Umineko but is that pic real? Because if so, holy shit.

Yeah, that's what localizations do. They also changed the scene where Okabe tries to speak in broken English. Shocking, I know

>He can't tell that the chef hat is shopped

Original art or PS3 art?
