Say totono!

Great.
Another general. Yippee. I'm so excited. (sarcasm)

>>33420642
What translated VN should I read?

>>33420674
Try "You and Me and Her: A Love Story".

>>33420642
>/jp/ finally at home again

Who else is playing the new release? It's pretty great so far.

>>33420642
Was Under One Wing worth the hype?

>>33420674
Raging Loop, if only so I'm not the only one reading it.

Nice attempt to escape the Totono

Anyways. Patch 1.01 for Eiyu*Senki A New Conquest went live. It fixes the Aristotle Crash and changes some terminology and faulty skill descriptions.

>>33420733
I am, and yeah, it's fantastic. One of the best nukige I've read in a long while. Great stuff.

>>33420642
>All posting of untranslated visual novels belongs on >>>/jp/
Perfect

What's the point of this thread? Nobody is forcing VN friends to stay in one thread at a time. And besides, /jp/ is already packed with generals as is.

>>33420885
This is a thread for people that don't like EVN discussion, which is allowed on /vg/ but not /jp/. Recently there has been discussion on /vg/ and in a poll earlier this week the majority said EVN are fine, so it lead to people that hate EVN making this thread.

>>33420885
Shitposting and autism. It's a shitposting thread made by shitposters and autists for shitposting and autism. Hopefully /jp/'s mods will actually do their jobs and delete it soon enough.

>>33420885
If you saw the VN generals on /vg/, you would understand.

This VN is translated, but the translation was never released due to Lemnisca selling out. Since it's translated, I can post it, right?

>>33420957
haha... go back >>>/vg/

>>33420957

Truly a Zakopost

>>33420961
I'm sorry, I just don't have any screens in English from anything I played recently.

>>33420642
I can understand saving my screenshot when I blogposted that years ago, but why save it with the exact same filename too?

>>33421019
That's ok, this is /jp/ after all. Even in /vg/ where Japanese-only content is against the boardwide rules people posted it all the time, this thread helps people have a home. If you like Japanese, /jp/ is for you, if you hate Japanese, /vg/ is for you. If you hate EVN, /jp/ if you for, if you like EVN, /vg/ is for you.

>>33421033
Sorry, I just have a thing for filenames. I don't like messing with ones that have logic to them.

Nice guys. We finally freed ourselves from the shackles of people who hate eops and jops alike. Can we now tripfag too?

Is there anything coming up?

>>33421052
Of course. So is anyone excited for my latest review on vn-info? I'll try not to ADHD over important plot details and nuances this time, but no gurantees.

>>33421089
We look forward to it, Hata-san.

>>33421089
Nice try bro.

>>33421094
No, we don't.

Hata put NTRAnon on the map so we gotta thank him. Now not only like 20 people who were aware of the thread can find the amazing games he translated for free and support his work.

Give me some utsuge, /jp/.

>>33421139

You should have handed the megalink to an attention whore like Hata so he could "release" it.

>>33421192
Bokuten and Inochi no Spare are my go-to to cry some tears. Otherwise maybe Papa wa Kaeranai.

>>33421269
You don't want that people play your efforts? You are one masochistic idiot.

>>33421320
>are my go-to to cry some tears
That's nakige though.

>>33421192
I'm a fan of Shimaisou, personally. I haven't read a lot of utsuge though.

>>33421418
Zaka please... but Shimaisou is pretty good. I might reread it because I ADHD speedread it before...

How many posters here know Japanese? More than /vg/ I would imagine.

>>33421813
Nobody posts here unironically

>>33421813
There are usually like 10 jops in /vg/ judging from the posting styles and blogposting.

>>33428026
It's the best tranny VN.

What's the point of this thread? I just checked /vg/ and they're doing fine, although that general is indeed full of moetards and redditors.

Anyhow, is Flowers any good? Heard people say it's a very stereotypical yuri bait, with a Catholic all-girls school and everything. I want to read a real yuri VN though.

Failing that, what about Yumeutsutsu Re:Master?

>>33433854
If you want to read a real yuri vn don't look further than Sisterly Bliss. It's adorable but can get somewhat dark. If you wanna play a lolige yuri then play Lilium x Triangle.

Yumeutsutsu Re:master is about making games and working in a game company with a heroine who comes from the boonies and is impressed everytime someone does something trivial like googling or voiceacting. It's basically Eroge Sex and Games make Sexy Games in yuri-form. It's extremely expensive if you wanna buy it legit. The game costs 59.99 on steam and additional 43.99 for the After-Routes.

>>33434009
>Sisterly Bliss
Thanks, that looks good.

What about Kindred Spirits on the Roof? Is that one real yuri or just bait? People on Steam seem to praise it.

>>33434108
What do you consider as yuri-bait? They do have sex with each other. The game is basically about ghosts who haven't passed into the afterlife yet and you teach them how to fall in love with other girls from the school. The game is about creating more and more yuri couples.

If I recall correctly it has the same calender system as for example Lilycle Rainbow Stage or Lilium x Triangle has so you schedule your days which girl you want to spend time with.

Yumeutsutsu Re:master is actually yuribait because it was supposed to be a console game.

Other yuribait VNs include Curse of Kudan (Yuri + Folklore), Expression Amrilato (glorified Esperanto-teaching software) and Oshirabu.

>>33434308
>What do you consider as yuri-bait?
The kind where it's more about fetishizing lesbian sex (and the characters are actually bi and/or somehow forced into this) than depicting an actual homosexual romance.

>>33434409
Ohhh.. well I can not judge that so well, because I don't know what a genuine homosexual relationship between girls entails.

https://yuriempire.wordpress.com/yuri-video-games-list/

Here is a list with most/all yurige out there tho so you surely find smth. The Sonohana series is definitely not yuribait.

>>33434472
Well, to put it simply I just want to see 2 cute girls develop a wholesome relationship without any NTR or dudes hitting on them.

Shouldn't be too hard to find, no? But then I heard yuri games are pretty rare, as is.

>>33434593
Well then Flowers is ideal being all-ages and focused on SoL and Romance and all. though the first game alone might be a bit boring as it's really only SoL. Later in Ete and especially in automne it picks up.

>>33433854
The point is that this will slow down constant derailings. /vg/ thread constantly has people complaining and derailing ANY time a JOP posts (as /jp/ exists for them) and ANY time an EVN is posted (as JOP get triggered by them).

With this change, JOP and EVN haters can migrate here and EVN posters and JOP haters can stay in /vg/. It'll be easier to report the few JOP that try and fuck up /vg/ (as it IS a boardwide rule that Japanese-only shit isn't allowed on /vg/, because /jp/ exists) and easier to report the EVN if they're actually on a general that doesn't allow EVN. People will still intentionally troll, it'll be easier to single them out and tell them to fuck off if they have a specific sister thread they belong in, and for those us of that truly want a thread free of which side we consider "off topic", now both sides have a thread.

>>33437051
Also Totopo made this thread so we can rule it (*´∀｀*)

>>33420885
I stopped going to /vn/ over a year ago because it was quickly falling to the same cancer that had infested every other board, namely cancerous buzzwords like "cope" and "seethe", as well as increasing amounts of wojak/pepe posting, indicating a rapid decline in quality of discourse. Here's hoping /jp/ does a better job at not opening the floodgates.

>>33440375
We can totolly do better than that. This is already a much slower, much comfier thread than anything on /vg/ in the past year, you didn't miss much.

>>33440375
Don't you think you should try to improve your ability to not instantly lose your shit when you see a drawing of a frog?

>>33440375
Someday you will realize its not a board/thread issue, its a community issue. There is literally nothing stopping them from coming over here and doing the same thing to this thread. Most of those schizos from /vn/ are already here in fact.

>>33440886
Moderation can fix that sort of community issue though, which is the goal. We can discuss visual novels here if the general takes off and gets moderated well. The game I blogpost after Danny might be done here if the thread grows.

>>33440945
You are the main reason the threads are so consistently shit. You aren't fooling anyone just because you took your pass off.

>>33440375
>Here's hoping /jp/ does a better job
Here is were you are wrong. This isn't about /jp/ but about the people in this thread. And most people here are the same from /vg/. Bringing this thread here will solve noting but, ei, you're more than welcome. If you check out the 'untranslated eroge' thread, God fogive you, you'll notice it's the same pool of shit because of a few trolls and offtopic spam.
/jp/ has no moderators.

Any VNs with poop?

>>33441058
Totopo should not be in the untranslated thread. That place is still calm and just busy hating on Niijima Yuu

>>33442790
Based on what?

>>33442790
JAST released two games which allow this My Daughter Reina and Kanosen which both have an additional glasses toggle in the menu. It's a gimmick of monoceros games but I don't know whether Amayakase had that too.

Nobody cares, sperg. Keep your drama where it belongs.

I thought the whole point of this thread was to get away from /vn/'s shitposting? But now you don't care about it? Wow, it's almost like that was never the point and there was some other "mysterious" reason this thread was made.

>>33450591

fuck you.

>>33440770
You should improve your ability not to post cancerous newfag memes that are a net-detriment to every thread they're in.

>>33451865
Pepe isn't a newfag meme, dumb fuck.

>>33451885
Yes it is you retarded twitter faggot.

>>33451894
No, it isn't. You 2014 election faggot. Go check archives.

>>33451903
Yes it is, electionfag cancer. It's used exclusively by impressionable newfag cancer such as yourself to ruin everywhere it's posted.

>>33451912
That's just your schizo narrative. You fell for /a/ propaganda. Pepe is an old 4chan original meme that spread all over the internet. You're just a retard who dismiss posts based on reaction pics instead of looking at the content of the post without any preconceived notions. You're just a racist towards pepeposters.

>>33451938
>schizo
And you use accompanying newfag lingo as well, thanks for proving my point. When it was first posted is irrelevant and you'd know that if you had anything resembling reading comprehension, it was always cancer and exploded after GG and the 2016 US Elections when newfag cancer like you decided to shit out that ugly template and all its derivatives everywhere.

>>33420642
>>/vg/ is no longer suitable for VN threads due to a lack of moderation and rampant off-topic posting.
>>E-celeb shitposting is off-topic and avatarfagging is not allowed.
>totopo sperg and hapa are here
Great start. I liked your idea though. Kuso general.

>>33451885
Pepe is fucking trash. Patricians post poop

>>33451974
>newfag lingo
>words hurt me. We should forever use oldfag lingo spoken ages before Shakespeare
Are you for real? It seems you have a personal distaste for pepe and spinning narratives because of that. You can also fuck off to discord if you hate here.

>>33452055
Strawman greentext is also a newfag tactic. You can go back to twitter and post your million cancerous derivative hideous pepe/wojak edits there instead, it's already your origin point.

>>33452013
Do you even know what eceleb means? It isn't about random tripfags. /jp/ used to be renowned for its huge tripcuck population just 3 or 4 years ago.

>>33452088
So you want 80% of 4chan users to fuck off to twitter just to please you? Stop whining like a zoomer just cause the world isn't ideal to your tastes.

>>33452111
Yes actually, since 80%+ of 4chan is now composed of your particular brand of retardation. In addition, "-oomer" is a forced newfag suffix that I seen you cancerous twitter migrants spam in real-time just two years ago and it latched on immediately because of your preference for infantilising your vocabulary.

>>33452127
You were a newfag once too, and you with other newfags created newfag memes/lingo too, which now became olfag memes. You whine a lot, kid.

>I hate new /vn/
>not because people don't read VNs and don't like deep discussions
>but because of muh newfag memes and lingo
The absolute of this dude

>>33452164
And the difference is it wasn't created as often, was borrowed from existing late 90s/early 2000s online parlance, wasn't forced and babyfied, and was antithetical to normalfag social media slang.

>>33452215
>wasn't forced and babyfied
No one is forcing anyone to use memes. They just spread because they are cool and catchy, and come in handy. There are rare cases where a discord raid group spams them, but the fact that they spread far and wide despite that just shows how cool and catchy they are unlike oldfag memes which only spread because oldfags bullied newfags to lurk and use those meme lingo to fit in.

>>33452211
I have been hanging around here since 2015 and it has been similar shitposting back in the day. Just that people didn't use /vn/ as actively and most gossip and discussion happened in the VNTS. Sadly VNTS now dies in a matter of hours...

>>33452312
Forced as in spammed by the same group of individuals in an attempt to desensitise the impressionable retards who would pick it up over time, that you don't know what a forced meme is says a lot. They are not cool and catchy, they're infantile forced derivative garbage templates from the twitter diasphora such as yourself that are deliberately, spitefully pushed in an effort to murder the quality of discourse online.

>>33452349
>it's a spam if I don't like what is being "spammed"
Fuck off with this conspiracy shit, truther. People like you who lose their shit over innocuous memes never contribute anything valuable to the discourse anyway. You'll just waste your life seething at niggers, Jews, trannies, newfags, harmless memes etc instead of having fun. You'll be the man of great shame and many regrets when you finally realize your retardation in future.

Me and Totopo are very likely the only people from our discord which could be called "Raiders". Zaka occasionally checks by and others just cringe at our daily shitposting on /vn/. But it had become a part of our daily life so why not. It's fun.

If there are controlled raids then they don't come from Hatacord.

>>33452432
>strawman greentext
>seething
You can't help yourself from spewing out your entire list of cancerslang, can you? Your twitter garbage is the furthest thing from innocuous, and has actively made the internet unusable for the last decade. You're the virtual equivalent of a murderer, just for communities instead of people.

>>33452464
>has actively made the internet unusable for the last decade.
I'm more than happy if this makes internet unusable for sensitive whiny mopey retards like you. You're a narcissist who is just salty that his hand failed to rock the newfag cradle. No one cares about your feelings so shut the fuck up about muh doom and gloom of muh newfag memescape. You need to learn to look past appearances and stop judging people based on what memes they like to post. You're nothing but an unrelatable relic of the past. You're an anachronistic glitch in the system and I hope you die from rona, boomer.

Now THIS is a quality thread

>>33452591
You're shitting in every bed you sleep in so you're inevitably making the internet unusable for everyone, not just the people observant enough to call you out for being the single most cancerous waste of oxygen on the planet. The "rona" doesn't exist either, I suppose that's a side-effect of your impressionability that you eat up any narrative fed to you and then parrot it like the brainless drone you are.
You and everyone else who uses any form of the "-oomer" suffix should be tortured and executed.

my sides when this thread have more off-topic shit than the one in /vg/

Instead of posting in this thread why not try to keep the /vnts/ thread alive a bit longer than 2 days.

Does Tsukihime gets any better after Arcueid's route? It was so boring that my desire to read it has waned.

>>33452658

>>33460330
Thank you.

>/vg/ is no longer suitable for VN threads due to a lack of moderation and rampant off-topic posting.
Great, more /vg/ refugees.

>>33463950
That's what happens when JOP shitpost in /vg/

>>33463950
This thread was actually made by the person directly responsible for the off-topic shitposting. He's a schizophrenic who really hates google and is obsessed with making the OP, and spams the thread with pictures of shit whenever he doesn't get to make it. He keeps trying to make new other threads on other boards that he can be in charge of, because he's an autist, then getting upset when nobody uses them and keeps begging people to post in them. Hopefully he'll be banned soon enough, this is the third board he's tried this on.

>>33465316
You sound like a schizo yourself.

If you really want to get away from the rampant off-topic posting, making a general split is not the right solution. This is the very first /tvn/ and it already got its fair share of the usual "general thread" garbage posts. /jp/ generals, with some exceptions, always lack moderation, so you are better off just making normal threads instead. Meido will *usually* take action there if you send reports.

By the way, you're not on /vg/ anymore. Lurk moar. 2 years minimum.

>>33465349
This thread really was not a genuine effort to get away from the shitposting, the person who made the thread is legitimately mentally ill and has been a gigantic pain in the ass for more than a year now. If you want proof you can head to /vn/ right now to see him spamming photos of shit after his thread got deleted by a janny.

>>33465420
How is that proof? Do you know how this website works?

>>33465420
The literal shitposter has been here 1 month at most, feel free to link a single of his style of shit-spam older than like a month and a half to prove me wrong, but you can't because I've been posting on /vn/ for years and it's a newfag.

>>33465452
>>33465502
Proof is in the pudding. 99.999999999% of people have better things to do than to literally shit up a general for a tiny niche medium. There isn't multiple people doing this nonsense.

>>33465521
Again feel free to prove it instead of saying "only someone that has been there for years would troll us".

>>33465521
>Proof is in the pudding
What are you even talking about? Do you know what proof is?

Where is your evidence this thread was made by your poo poster you're ranting about?

>>33465561
Not him, but I do think this thread is made by the poo-poo poster because he's the only one that links to this thread in the OP he makes, which we know are his because his worst shitspam phases are when his thread gets deleted, like what is happening this very second on /vg/

He hasn't been there for years though, it's been 1 month. The guy doesn't even read vn, he has never discussed them because his writing style is very unique (and he's clearly underage or mentally handicapped) and that style never shows up when discussing any games at all.

>>33465502
You can find his bullshit as far back as 2019, just search the archives for asperg-kun. He didn't start posting photos of shit right away, he used to spam wojaks, but he still did stuff like removing google from the OP, posting his own threads, asking brandead questions like "what did /vn/ think of X" all the time, call everyone a schizo and fly off the handle when called out. Fuck if you have been around for years you should remember when the wiki was vandalized, who do you think would delete everything and replace it with photos of mutilated dicks? Quof?

He is a newfag yeah, but because he only comes around to sperg out and he refuses to read VNs only to spam the 5 he actually read.

>>33465619
>he used to spam wojaks
That was oppailoli, he used to brag about it on discord.

>>33465609
>he's the only one that links to this thread in the OP he makes
Ok, so post proof he's the one linking to this thread.

>>33465631
>bragging about spamming wojaks.

Poor soul...

>>33465619
Go back to the /vg/ thread, schizo.

>>33465699
...it's in the OP he creates. Like I just said, when the OP with the /jp/ link dies, 100% of the time shit-spam starts instantly.

>>33465725
Ok, so you have no proof. Good to know.

I love Yuki!

>>33484770
Based. Thanks, friend.

>>33484851

>>33486736
Kill yourself, boomer.

Are there any games about real life problems? Like, specifically, a game about having kids and the real struggle of wanting to provide a good life for them when you're struggling to stay above water yourself? I need some inspiration and while god isn't here for me, maybe a visual novel can be.

Gnosia is out in 2 days on the Switch. Looks pretty good.

great and here was I thinking that /jp/'s quality would improve if VNfags would start becoming more active again a few days again.

>>33489354
It did improve though?

Wil the SJWs ever try to ruin VNs too? I am impressed no retarded tranny ever got anything to say on Subahibi crap.

>>33493355
Critical race theory don't exist in Japan so no. Otaku and Hikikomori generate more money in a day than foreign sales do in a year.

It's comfy, at least when /vg/ spergs aren't leaking in.

>>33502241
Those are honestly the worst. I'm usually only using the vnts.

>>33502234
I think the poster quality is decently high. Try discussing a vn and see for yourself.

>>33502234
This thread was literally made by the trash of /vn/ so they could shitpost more freely. It's baffling why it hasn't been deleted yet.

>how dare the mods don't do my bidding! this is an outrage!
schizo...

This board is as boring as the others. I'm going back to vtubers.

What the fuck? Why did Ciel/Ar nosurge get a Steam release out of nowhere?

This thread will finally see a merciful death. I leave you with a parting gift.

Nah, you're an idiot.

This is catchy

kid's got talent and Subahibi is a good fit for the song

>>33507734
Really?

>>33489230
it is tranny game

>>33515984
No, it's not, retard. It has aliens in it, and gender plays a role in the RPG part of Gnosia because there are stats like Charm and Logic that play a role in it, and women have more Charm while genderless ignore sexual biases and have more Logic as a result.

Would you really think the game would be better if the character pic related wanted to fuck you?

>>33517961
fuck off tranny

>baiting this hard
it really is the tranny faggot posting images of shit everywhere

>>33518086

Thoughts on Koichoco?

it's shit

Nuke this shit discord teen thread janny or else

I won't warn you twice

Is he right about Umineko?

>>33532322
Nope.

The Lord of The Rings starts with ~100 pages of not much happening; this is about 1/3 of the first book and 1/11 of the whole series' page count. Assuming umineko ep1 is 1/8 of the total wordcount then it's in about the same range; maybe something actually happens at the end which would inch it closer to 1/10. That said, you might not consider LotR a bonafide "classic".

Really though, I think it's clear that there is a split in perception regarding what counts as "nothing" happening. Certainly some genres of Japanese writing have quite a lot of that. Cultural expectations may be different; weebs being a bit of a special case may be more tolerant because many will have been partly weeded out by SoL in other VNs and Japanese media.

>>33533625
I think the real answer is it was an episodic work and they didn't want to put too much story/spoilers in just the first episode yet a short length wouldn't be acceptable either, hence the heavy SoL filler and the scenes that literally repeat the same things over and over.

Weird thing about Umineko is that almost no one who followed it back in the day (as the episodes were still being released) considers it to be good after EP 6 (some will argue 7 or 8) which coincides with the point that Japs dropped it and only the new gen ryu07 fans hail it as some kind of masterpiece. I suppose if you weren't there theorizing at the time and engaging with it critically then the cheapest and most obvious theory turning out to be true and the author shitting on the readers for having figured it out too early doesn't resonate with you.

>>33532322
The problem isn't how slow Umineko is, the problem is Ryukishi07's slice of life writing is dogshit.

>>33535828
Is it true that nips hated Umineko? Is it even on EGS?

The first chapter had plenty of action. Even too fast paced when things start happening.

The intro with the boat travel to the island is a big filter for people with ADHD. Yet it has the purpose to lay the setting and the family ties. Is that comfy intro, the peace before the storm, a bad slice of life?

>>33536303
He's the best at that.
Also good at fighting scenes, very fast paced and with no boring verbose.
But he's specially good at setting and structure, mainly because the meta with crystals offers him so many possibilities.

>>33532322
>the incident must happen in the first few pages
Pathetic bullshit and fake editor. Don't post steam reviews ever again in /jp/.

>>33537570
No?

>>33537570
>median 61
>average 58
They really hated the last episode.

>>33544189
Well no shit, the ending is really crappy and unsatisfying.
