Really? For how many hours would it continue to stay that way?

Acknowledged... It's not a catalog of Japoo waifus as much as a list of good VN's that I recommend to everyone who wants to delve deeper into the genre :love:

Considering it's one of the first visual novels I've read in its entirety, with its left-field humor and freaky mixture of mecha and lovecraftian ethos, it's very fond and memorable to me, although I understand the shock it causes as someone's best-of choice... Too many of the same encounters with To Mega Therion's agents that don't add to the story dynamic is something that hinders a smooth read, but I persevered and pushed through and was rewarded with sex with the Book :P

The only thing that motivated me to push through the entirety of the Demonbane was Master Therion. Such a waste that he was trapped in a mediocre VN.

To each their own, but the time and leaked vitality sacrificed on the violet altar of Animu Sekkusu is oft hard to forget...

White Album 2 is the greatest soap opera ever written.

I generally hate soap operas, but White Album 2 entranced me from beginning to end.

Amagami



I can honestly say that every girl is a best girl no matter who you choose and the artstyle of the girls' character designs I find them very appealing in a way I can't exactly explain.

The Anime Adaptation is also very good and somehow gives each a girl the full spotlight by giving 4 episodes then the plot resets when a new girl gets her turn.

There's an English patch for both the PSP and PS2 ports but is split for into 3 seperate patches for two girls due to the game crashing when the translators tried patching the game in full.

Same here. I was obsessed with it for a long time. Still am to some extent. The anime adaptation is also really good. It only adapts the first chapter, so my advice to The Jester would be to try out the anime first and if you like the story and characters to then read the VN as well. Otherwise the VN is like 80-100 hours long so it's better to "demo" it with the help of the anime first rather than dive right into it and realize half-way through that you don't like it.

I agree. If he is the kind of person who doesn't enjoy experiencing the same plot beats twice, though, I'd say he'd be better off playing through the Introductory Chapter, which is quite short for a VN (10 hours long, more or less) and will allow him to know quite well if he wants to read the rest. The anime is quite similar to IC, but they are different enough that one should read the VN from the beginning even if they have watched the anime and I've seen some people give up because they don't want to experience that story again, even if it's now in text form.

Then how did this guy do it?

​

Fan Translation for Amagami ebKore Plus PSP using AI​

Click to expand...
From the few hours I've played from this, the guy only translated the events but I've run into untranslated dialogue territory during the conversations gameplay where you have to choose the right topics to increase the affection of your desired girl and each girl has tons of unique dialogue. Shame, I'm loving the game so far but I'll persevere.

Also, according to the log from the split translations patch.

The translation has been split into three with age being the determining factor for which heroine gets in any patch. This limitation only affects conversations in the game, you can still get translated events
for every single heroine. The cause seems to be some sort of engine limitation with certain files and their storage sizes.

Any good VNs on Steam that have proper multiple endings rather than just a true ending & various bad ones and/or character-based routes?
