I wish they would update that fic in which Neptune and Nepgear get the other goddesses and candidates as their harem after they win a fight.

How many poses can you do in this game?

>>2134357
>Would be nice if that sailor-fuku dress was made out of really thin fabric

>Some days this would happen too
>Good morning, girls
>Morning!!
>Good morning, Nepgear-chan
>Is that a T-back, Nepgear? Did you really put on underwear this perverted? Maybe you put them on by mistake... no, of course not. That means you have someone you want to show them off to...?

>>2133894
Pururuto-sama

>>2134539
Only 4: Cunnilingus, fingering, double-end dildo and scissoring.

>>2134409
What game is this?

>>2134729
Custom Maid 3D 2.

>>2134760
Can the player character be female, or is het the only option?

>>2134772
No, the player can't be female, unfortunately. The only thing we can do is make the maids fuck each other.

>>2134774
Do you have to fuck the maids first to unlock the yuri options?

>>2134785
I think usually yes, but there is a hack around you can use to unlock the yuri class and the yuri skills. I used it.

>>2134772
Unless you mod it, nope,

Do you hear it? That's the sound of a storm blowing this way.

A shitstorm that is.

>>2135850
It's just some fanfic, who even cares?

>>2135850
What will it even be about then?

>>2135856
I don't know.

But you can't do Neptune and Noire anymore now that they already got together. So it has to be something else.

>>2135893
>But you can't do Neptune and Noire anymore now that they already got together
This is wrong, and one of the worst misconceptions out there. Stories about characters being together can be just as interesting, if not more so, then stories about characters getting together.

>>2135893
Over half of it is what you just said.

>>2135910
Then why are there so few of them?

>>2135912
The rest of it was them getting more together.

>>2135910
What kind of stuff can married couples do?

>>2135925
They can break up, they can be helpful background characters, they can be widowers, they can get into divorces and find someone else, they can involve other characters in threesomes, they can go on vacation and leave the house empty for other people to do things.

They just can't do nothing on their own.

>>2135924
>Then why are there so few of them?
Because there is no potential for drama and if you bother to look at any story out there, for some reason people are unable to write anything without forcing a boatload of drama into it. This is also the reason I just gave up on reading fanfics in general. Not saying they are all terrible but I really dislike drama, especially when its forced.

>>2135937
>when its forced
Just looking at the summary of this one we're discussing makes it look like that's going to be a big part of it...

>>2135937
Aren't you just saying you would rather have no development or substance so you can have your fluffy status quo protected?

>>2135985
There is ample potential for character development and story without everything being terrible all the damn time, onee-sama.

>>2135996
One of the potential ways to do that is drama, which is not forced as much as you're implying. Even these games have had drama in them sometimes.

>>2136000
>One of the potential ways to do that is drama
Yes and everyone and their mother uses drama to get the plot going. I'm just sick of it.
> Even these games have had drama in them sometimes.
Funnily enough the games that make more usage of it are not liked as much.
Besides mk2's storyline (and I'm not even going to mention that particular ending) these games are very tame on the amount of drama which I very much enjoy.

But seriously, 2 people can develop feelings for each other and start a relationship without countless misunderstandings and 5 chapters of angst and them shouting at each other until everything is suddenly fine again.
I understand some people look at it differently and thats perfectly fine, I'm merely stating my opinion about it.

>>2136003
>Yes and everyone and their mother uses drama to get the plot going. I'm just sick of it.
Do you have a lot of other ways you think work for getting actual plot moving? Just characters interacting alone doesn't make a plot and even a lot of SoL has smaller drama pushing the episodic plots forward.

>Funnily enough the games that make more usage of it are not liked as much
The first game's writing is cited as what got the series going in the first place and it had drama, despite its much lighter tone the third game had drama all over the place moving the plot forward, and even the anime had drama all the way through to the OVA.

>But seriously, 2 people can develop feelings for each other and start a relationship without countless misunderstandings and 5 chapters of angst and them shouting at each other until everything is suddenly fine again
It sounds like there's a story there.

>>2135996
>>2136003
I'm confused do you mean drama or conflict and if not what do you think the difference is?

You have nothing without conflict.

>>2136010
Conflict is pretty much a form of drama and while sometimes necessary for a plot it's not needed in every singe relationship story.

>>2136003
How else are we supposed to get the plot going? I'm not saying it has to be a mexican soap opera, but it has to have at least a bit of drama.

>>2136012
Isn't that just >>2135985 this?

>>2136013
I don't mind a bit of drama, I do mind when everything about the story is drama non-stop with a few fluffy bits an pieced in between. I read most of the proposal because people here praised it that much but it is nothing but pointless and forced drama at every single turn.

>>2136014
No, just yesterday I read a really good chinese manga (I think there is a term for this) about the relationship between 2 highschool girls. There isn't even an iota of drama in there.
It's called "Tamen De Gushi" give it a read and you will see how easily it can work.

>>2136017
I just checked and the Genre is literally listed as being drama. If you don't like the kind of story it is and still read it anyway I don't know what to tell you.

>>2136021
Might I ask where you checked? That's clearly mislabeled.

>>2136017
>Tamen De Gushi
I love that one.

>>2136021
https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=117186
it's not labled as drama though.

>>2136017
>pointless and forced drama at every single turn
>drama non-stop with a few fluffy bits in between
This just makes it sound like you only want fluff and no conflict.

Proposal's drama isn't forced, but it should be. It moves so slow and takes so much time getting to the point it builds up you'd have to be pushing it with snails to call it forced.

Look at the old one. It took like thirty chapters to get that payoff of them finally getting married and that was the whole description of the story.

>>2136022
>>2136024
The fanfic not the manga. He said he liked the manga so obviously I didn't mean that.

>>2136017
A really good example is Ore Monogatari. It's het, but it's loved for good reasons. One of those reasons is that it avoids pointless drama.

Now we have solved the mystery of why the anon doesn't like the fanfic and can move on to more important mysteries, like why Compile Heart hasn't moved on from supporting dead companies like Sega so that it can move on to superior pairings.

>>2136033
>A really good example is Ore Monogatari

>>2136006
>even a lot of SoL has smaller drama pushing the episodic plots forward

>>2136027
I would argue that the drama slowed it down more than anything. Like how many times were Nep and Noire just standing around being miserable without it leading up to anything.

>>2136028
>>2136037
It was just an example. I knew what I was getting into but I at least wanted to give it a chance. The topic was about how married couples aren't necessary boring.

>>2136039
>the drama slowed the drama down
I think this is the point where you recognize the story wasn't for you. I didn't like the grimdark one he did I get it it's okay.

>without it leading up to anything
I haven't read it in a while but I don't think this is actually true. The one long argument at the end led up to Nepgear waking up and the one before that led to them having sex, that's two things that got led up to.

>>2136027
Proposal really is slow. There are some really nice scenes (like the one Noire thinks Neptune is sleeping and confesses), but it's unnecessarily long. But that might be just me, I prefer stories that have romance, but have other stuff in the plot, like Overheat.

>>2136039
What is it that you actually want here?

Ore Monogatari isn't a good example because it's not portraying a relationship trying to have any reality or depth to it. It isn't bad, it's nice and sweet, but it's the definition of just fluff. You can't call having more drama than a story like that forced. It's a fantasy. If you want a story about married life that's all fluff all the time then you're not getting a story about real married life, you're going to get make believe.

It sounds like you just want a pair of characters to be married and screwing out of nowhere with no build up or pacing at all good or bad, and that would be way more forced than what you're complaining about.

This is why no one writes after the get together, because cutting it off at happily ever after is easier on the viewer not on the writers. There is no such thing as a happy ending but you let people pretend easier this way. Watching a couple struggling through life's hardships is much more meaningful and impacts much more.

This is why Clannad is one of the most beloved stories of anime ten years later and when Ore Monogatari is forgotten it will continue to persevere.

Are we still just talking about marriage? I stopped caring about the other parts of this conversation but I can double back.

>>2136045
Same. I tried to slog through the original, but it was so slow and drawn out, with pointless misunderstandings and empty angst. I much preferred the author's other work, where Neptune got transported to the alternate, dark Gameindustri.
And yes, I want more Overheat too.

>>2136051
You quote me but you aren't talking to me at all. I don't even know what ore monogatari is.

>>2136053
>pointless misunderstandings
Do any of you who make this complaint about anything actually understand what that would be?

A pointless understanding would be a misunderstanding without a point as in there is a misunderstanding and then absolutely nothing happens, not something funny or character development or some kind of resolution or anything.

I don't think that ever happens in anything. Can anyone name one actual time where they have seen a misunderstanding that served no purpose to the story at all?

>tired narrative device I dislike
is what you actually mean

>>2136054
Sorry I misfired the quote. It was for the guy that brought it up earlier.

>>2136053
That other fic was alright, just a few things I disliked like evil Nepgear (too overused, should have other evil people instead) and the dragon ball fights.

>>2136045
>>2136053
I like edgy out of character torture porn too.

It's possible to write a good post-marriage story with seemingly no drama and still have some kind of conflict, just ask Kaiyo No Umi

>all this discussion of something that doesn't matter
Every time.

>>2136061
I don't touch his fics with a ten-feet pole after the genderbending shit.

>>2136066
What do you want to talk about then?

>>2136067
At least read his profile, the whole point of the genderbending is that the characters and the interactions are the same regardless of the gender. They are still Neptune and Noire, and Nepgear and Uni.

>>2136070
You seem to think I only like these couples because of their personalities and interactions. Yes, I like those, but I have other reasons. I like them because they are both girls. If I only cared about interaction, then I would just read all the 49034 het novels out there. It is not yuri if one of them has a male body, just not yuri and I have no interest in het at all.

>>2136070
No matter the reasons, this kind of thing always sounds like the author thinks lesbians are wrong, so he turns one of them into a man.

You guys who are reading that fanfic (you know, that one). Who do you think Noire will choose: Neptune or K-Sha?

>>2137238
Well Neptune
And I'm not saying it because it's the fan favorite choice, but because there were some clues in this chapter that point to it:
Noire's emotional reaction to Nep almost being killed, sure it can be argued she could react similarly to K-sha in the same position, but it still was a pretty strong reaction.
The narration pointing out that Noire would get a fully red blushed face after processing Neptune's confession, while she did nothing of the sort with K-sha reaffirming her feelings again, though this can be brushed off with the fact that isn't exactly news for Noire. But still that narration is there for a reason.
The most important one, K-sha multiple times saying that she would be happy with a rejection, while Neptune never saying it, and since she just confessed, it's certain she wouldn't be. Since Nep ruined K-sha's plot to have a bittersweet ending, I can't see this ending in any other way that with all the characters happy, and that wouldn't happen if K-sha wins.
There is also the possibility for it to end with Noire being a slut and ending with a threesome with both of them but I feel after all these clues and this whole story an ending like that would feel as bad as when Ash lost the league a few weeks ago. The build up wouldn't have delivered if it happens.

>>2137264
I hope you are right. I had the same thoughts. Her reaction was pretty strong while holding Neptune. Damn cliffhangers... She better not go with the "just be friends" route.

>>2137264
>>2137269
If we don't her decision by the next chapter, I will lose it. My heart can only take so many cliffhangers.

I really don't see that much of a difference.
Right now it has a lot of decent ones without OCs in the front page even if they aren't yuri, like the 100 nepgear challenge and the Nepgear Re:Try.

The harem bonding and the switcheroo are a bit crack, but refreshing in a way.

>>2138746
I still see many OC fics in the first page even though I filter "OC". Fucking scumbags can't even tag their garbage properly.

>>2138744
Proposal is back and we have a great Noire love triangle story going. It could be worse.

>>2138754
One example being there could be no OC tag at all.

>>2138757
In FF.net there is OC tag. These people just suck at tagging as much as they suck at writing.

>>2138759
I'm saying it could be worse by there not being one and even the ones that do use it wouldn't be tagged is what I mean.

Why was IF x Vert dropped?
All throughout Rebirth 1 Vert doted on IF by teasing her and shoving her boobs in her face but by Rebirth 2 not only are they not together but IF doesn't even comment when you kill Vert
And by Rebirth 3 alt.Vert moves on to Nepgear
What the fuck?

>>2139004
Different dimensions have different characters that look similar, but ultimately are interested in different people.

>>2139004
RB1 takes place in a different dimension than RB2, 3, and others, and features different versions of the characters. The floating island landmasses, Celestia, lack of Oracles, and so forth should've clued you in that it was a different place.
That being said, Vert/IF was great and I really wish they'd bring that relationship back.

>>2139004
>Rebirth
That's mainly it. It was there a little in HDN1 but not nearly as much as Rebirth 1. By mk2 they had IF go with Compa instead and it's stuck since then. Not really a fan of it anyway since I like VertxBlanc more, but that's never going to happen so I just deal with the Nepgear thing.

>>2139011
Vert x Nepgear is the worst pairing for Vert, I only liked that scene in the anime when Nepgear hugged GH after they got released, but that's it.

They should bring IF x Vert back even if it was just in a spin off.

>>2139017
I agree that VertxNepgear is the worst and that isn't just because I love PurplexBlack. I just meant that I put up with whatever little sister gag they shove in because it can't get any worse than what V had.

So what are your thoughts on Best Friends Forever? That fic where Neptune and K-Sha both are in love with Noire?

>>2139029
Already commented above in spoilers. I like it, but I'm waiting to see how it ends.

>>2139029
I like it a lot, it's one of the best Nep fics I've ever read. We need more fics with Ke$ha.

>>2139019
I tought the little sister gags were cute in V

>>2139029
Who do you think Noire will choose?

>>2139039
Maybe the third route (aka both Neptune and K-Sha). At least I hope so.

>>2139324
What if she also gets Uni as bonus?

>>2139327
If you add Uni in you can't forget Nepgear as well. Don't want to make her sad after all.

>>2139324
That's not a good thing to hope for.

>>2139019
I don't think it's been as bad as it was in V.

I actually like the pairing too.

>>2139565
Nepgear is the innocent type that goes along with things too which leaves her open to get involved with the lonely Vert. She even got all sad when that Vert downgraded her for Peashy that time.

Even if they never make it reciprocated there's so much more they could do with it. The whole problem is just from how they never let the characters interact too much with the ones they don't normally.

Nepgear and Vert is like if Neptune and Noire's scenes were cut down to Neptune making fun of Noire not having friends even though she's obviously friends with her. You would be seeing the potential for a lot more that could be there but they would just go back to the same joke every time instead...

>>2139601
That last sentence is literally every problem with the writing in this series in a nutshell.

>Hey you know this series people like because of the characters? Let's make a new game about one of the ones people really like, add in a bunch of new and interesting characters, then only focus on them all for two scenes apiece so the whole game can be about a faceless protagonist boning that character everyone likes.
>Oh and don't put her sister in it either.
>Should we include new characters from the last game in the sequel? Do I look like I'm made of the money to pay for those voices?

I just don't like Nepgear and Uni's relationship. Even the friendship comes off as forced for the sake of having to do it because their sisters have a real dynamic going on. Screw that, ditch Uni, let Rom crush on Nepgear more and Ram dislike her, and we now have a dynamic ten times more interesting than making a sweeter copy paste of Neptune and Noire. Make Uni the one with the sister complex they forced on Nepgear in V, that actually makes sense.

And the Rom and Ram idea is very good too, I agree with you.

>a sweeter copy paste of Neptune and Noire
They should drop that one instead, and focus on NepuBuran. Neptune/Noire is boring as fuck and isn't going anywhere, the dynamic is long gone.

These two first need to get some personality that isn't painfully bland. I can't take any ships with either of them involved seriously.

Let's not kid ourselves, they're all varying degrees of bland. They're just lovably so and the writing helps.

Rom and Ram's problem is they're kids in a series that almost never sets up situations for kids except for in V when they weren't around for most of it. They also have never spoken to most of the cast for more than a minute outside of U and Megatagmension and a lot of the time they barely even get to talk to other characters besides each other and Blanc, just giving cute kid commentary and then shutting up.

They have personalities they just don't get used like ever. For fuck's sake, can they really not even read or do they just prefer it when Blanc does it?

>>2139613
>>2139700
You two are even better at destroying a franchise than CH themselves. You don't take popular pairings and just replace them. How do you think people would react to that?
It was already bad with VertxIf and that one wasn't even popular until Re;Birth1.

>>2139738
The series would not be destroyed because Nepgear and Uni start talking to other people more. It would only benefit.

Maybe if their relationship wasn't only there purely because their sisters have one this wouldn't be a problem.

>>2139760
I'm saying they should make it better and more than them just being generic and so cute every damn time they've been on screen together by the way.

I'm not opposed by default but there hasn't been one time in the entire series it has looked like it was anything other than being there for the sake of being there.

There's been some nice fanart and fanfic but the series those are not.

They should bring IF x Vert back in Cyberdimension.

>>2139776
I will be happy if IF is even in it. I doubt they'll even add other CPUs.

>>2139760
>Maybe if their relationship wasn't only there purely because their sisters have one this wouldn't be a problem.
I don't understand this reasoning. Did you play mk2? They met and got to know each other while their sisters were out of the picture entirely. I can't even think of a single scene in any game where they got closer because of their sisters relationship. It developed completely aside.

>>2139786
Not him, but I think this is more of a meta thing. Maybe CH noticed that Noire/Nep was popular, so they pushed Uni/Gear too.

>>2139793
They have different personalities though and their relationship is completely different compared to NepNowa, so I don't see how it's supposed to be the same.

>>2139786
Wow. I'm legitimately not sure where to even begin explaining this misunderstanding and if you were a cute anime girl I would place you above half of this game's cast for that.

Not trying to start shit here you just really shocked me with that.

So I'm saying the writers of the games write and promote the relationship in the first place because the already existing main characters had something similar first and Nepgear and Uni are their sisters so it's just easier for them to give them the same thing than do anything different with them. It's not interesting and it doesn't require any thought. Copy pasting the relationship onto different characters in the new game was a cheap way to include it again and help ease returning fans into getting to the characters they were there for. No matter where the series got to now you can not forget this is how these characters were invented and it shows. Tales games do this all the time with different character roles.

Basically to me it has never come across as independent or like it developed on its own. In MK2 it was there like it was because Neptune and Noire weren't for most of it and afterwards, they made the two of them generically cute together once they didn't need them doing that anymore.

>>2139796
>They have different personalities
Neptune and Nepgear are cheerful and upbeat Planeptune girls, Noire and Uni are proud tsundere Lastation girls.

They're not exact clones but in MK2 they're written exactly like someone said Hey let's do what we did in the first game but do it so it's a little cuter. MK2 didn't have Neptune and Noire so they needed something to compensate for it.

Afterwards Neptune and Noire weren't absent anymore so they had to do something else. That's where them being generically cute like they are most of the time now came from.

The relationship doesn't do it for me in context of it or outside. In it they're just generically cute and out of it they're generally cute because I guess they just didn't have any better ideas after Neptune and Noire came back?

>>2139793
The interactions don't do it for me without the meta stuff too though those could also be a factor.

>>2139811
Ok, but that aside their relationship developed very different than NepNowa. If you take VertBlanc for example that's a lot closer to their relationship with Vert teasing Blanc all the time and Blanc responding with various shades of anger and fluster.

>>2139818
Nepgear is not really "cheerful and upbeat"

>>2139818
I don't get what you not liking the pairing has to do with anything?

>>2139819
Actually in MK2 it developed a lot like Neptune and Noire's did in the first game if you went for the True Ending where you recruit and befriend everyone. It wasn't exactly the same but it was close and the problem still lies with how it all only exists in the first place because they didn't have Neptune and Noire around.

Afterwards they just randomly become generic and fluffy and that's not really developing, that's Neptune and Noire caming back so it got changed to something else between games and people decided it was development.

They just got rewritten for convenience. Just like how Vert has gotten more sister crazy with time and just like how Nepgear was borderline insane for no good reason other than the fact some fans didn't like her in MK2 when she was introduced in V.

When minor characters in this series only ever interact the character they were assigned to as their bantering partner most of the time and these two only got assigned to each other in the first place to fill the void their sisters left, that's bad. I think they could do better if they tried. Games like U and Megatagmension where they're forced to show us glimpses of it prove to me they can when they want to too.

>>2139821
She is games after V and she was in MK2 when Uni was around even though in that game she usually wasn't. That goes to show.

>>2139823
This whole conversation only started because I said I didn't like it in response to something else back up >>2139613

>>2139836
You are kind of assuming a lot and calling it bad because you don't like it.
Uni and Nepgear were never meant to replace Neptune and Noire and they didn't "rewrite" them after the rescue either.
Uni and Nepgear had different reasoning and motivations compared to their sisters in the previous game, with Nepgear trying to get stronger and find help to save her sister and Uni drowning in self-esteem issues. Both of them overcame their shortcomings and developed into more balanced characters without losing their personalities though. You could say that they got more like their sisters but that was their goal all along considering how much they idolize them.
Also I wouldn't call UniGear a generic fluff pairing. It's a typical friendship slowly developing into more, but if you call that generic fluff you can call literally anything with two girls in it generic fluff.

>>2139842
Forget every other game for a minute.

Going from the first to the second the interactions are literally toned down, cutesy little sister versions of what Neptune and Noire had in the first game.

Reasoning and motivation has nothing to do with how they interact, and you're forgetting in the first game Neptune was trying to save Histoire and then Gamindustri while Noire had issues regarding Neptune herself in the original game.

These are called parallels. Pointing out little differences or how why they're the same is different when they're still parallel doesn't mean lot.

Nepgear becomes crazy in V for the sake of a joke and when the joke has run its course she stops. This is not a series that retains development from game to game and these two characters are not a convenient exception to that. They do what is good for whatever game they're working on at the time.

Think about it. PSP is one of the most popular consoles in Japan but they didn't bother to make a new character like they did DS. They needed someone to be Nepgear's Noire, so they made a tinier Noire.

I am not against them but I wish they would do something better with them.

>>2139848
Hey, Rom and Ram are basically a tinier Blanc, if you fuse them you get the only two personalities Blanc has, emotionless and angry. They just don't look it as much because of how young they are, but Rom and Ram are to Blanc what Uni is to Noire.

>>2139848
I guess we just see things from different perspectives. I would never waste my time trying to figure out the developers intentions for anything while playing a game and I'm pretty sure it detracts a lot from the actual game to do so.
I mean i believe you that there are parallels but you can find parallels to ever game if you look hard enough.
Anyway I don't think we will reach an understanding so lets end it here. Just calling Uni a tinier Noire makes me question if we played the same game.

I juat want a simple game where Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc go on adventure together again like in Rebirth 1. Getting tired of all of this candidates and pointless totally one time character.

Just make a game where the CPU tried to fight some evil forces but gameindustri end up destroyed so now the CPU need to work together to fix gameindustri. Add also each CPU has usages like Neptune run fast past obstacles, Noire unlock encoded password and Blanc smash object.

Is that nep x nowa 10 page comic out yet? the one from ge-b ? I really want that <3

>>2140972

I'm sure the particular chapter you posted was really cute and fluffy, but to get to that point I'd have to trudge through a lot of chapters full of war crimes, torture, and sex slavery. I'm not saying those topics make a story bad, I've read and enjoyed stories that included all of those elements, but that sort of thing isn't usually what I'm in the mood for when I decide I want to read a Neptunia story.

>>2141367
Over half the story isn't edgy, lets not be unfair here.
I think people exaggerate the edginess quite a lot, maybe from hearsay? The starting chapters are pretty grim and there are the occasional grim moments later on, but all in all it is pretty close to standard fare serious adventure.
I think that
>that sort of thing isn't usually what I'm in the mood for when I decide I want to read a Neptunia story.
is precisely why people get so mad over the fic.

What about straight (pun not intended) fluff, light, fun fanfiction, romance or the like? Any good recs?

>>2141451
Isn't that pretty much most of the Nep /u/ fanfics?

>>2141401
Whatever the story becomes in the second half doesn't matter if readers have to make it through a first half that contains the things that it does. First impressions are important.

Personally I even consider your guy's fluffy favorite Proposal borderline edgy with how it wastes so much time with business and political plot later on. The games don't do that the way that story does and those deviations make the story edgier. Overheat involves war, torture, violent sex, slavery, and plays it straight. Of course someone would think it's edgy given the series it's written for.

>>2141401
The games have standard adventures without delving into the things Overheat does.

>>2141451
Overheat's author does some nice short stories.

>>2141601
That is not what I was getting at nepsis. People seem to think the entire fic is just like the first big arc and that's incorrect, I wanted to at least say something about that, nuthin' more. Probably intentional that the fic starts real hardcore because it'll go back to that format sooner or later.
And this is just my opinion but edgy does not automatically equal bad, no matter the fandom. And lemme be real here, there is no doubt shit is going to hit the fan when inevitably gold third, Uzume and her palette swapped evil self show up to fuck shit up. And that's not even touching on all the other stuff that can go and will go wrong.

The games are intentionally left fluffy but that doesn't mean no other format works or is worthwhile is what I'm getting at fampai.

>>2141609
No you got me wrong, I've read it but I'm saying your average reader isn't going to keep reading if they figure that's how the story is.

I don't think edgy is bad either, but these stories are what they are.

>>2141621
I wasn't insinuating you didn't read it, just trying to clear up the misconception that it is dread and horror all the way through.

The edgy is why I like it. There are very few plot heavy Nep fics that are more gritty and still yuri. She's done typical romance slice of life with vocaloid before and it was good but it isn't her strong suit.

>>2141621
I personally find Overheat's fluffy SOL stuff to be even sweeter than normal, considering what the characters have gone through in order to get there. Makes it feel better that their happiness is earned, rather than it just always being sunshine and puppies 24/7.

>>2141642
Some characters aren't getting any happiness despite definitely having earned it. The biggest disappointment was probably 5pb dying, like what was up with that? And Nepnep already suffered enough, it is high time she catches a break.
And then we have one character that apparently has happiness but definitely doesn't deserve it. That would be Rei

>>2141646
>Nepnep already suffered enough, it is high time she catches a break
I went back and reread the series recently, and no, she really hasn't. Yes, everyone did awful things during the war, but Neptune went so far beyond everyone else. If anything, she's gotten off too lightly, and all the talk about Planeptune CPU's imbalanced personas and staying in goddess form too long feels like a cop out. The earlier chapters made it clear she knew what she was doing, and went ahead and did it anyway.
We don't know what's up with Rei yet, so it's really too early to consider what's up with her. But if she got revived, it's possible 5pb could've been as well.

>>2141646
5pb. died for our sins.

>>2141656
She lost her goddess powers, lost her memories temporarily, lost everyone she every cared about (twice), got kicked out of her guild, was ignored by Noire and Histoire and then abandoned by them too. She suffered on the inside like crazy while in crazy purple heart modo. Early in the fic, PH was forcibly reverted into Neptune once and she was so traumatized by what PH had been doing that she cried out for help. Pretty sure PH was full on bonkers and Neptune just had to live with the personality split. PH knew what she was doing, but that ain't meaning she wasn't bonkers or that Neptune was not scared shitless of what PH was doing. This disconnect between human and CPU form is what caused a lot of suffering for her too I imagine. And give her a break, yes she killed lots of people and did some crazy shit but so did Vert (experimenting on Peashy) and Blanc (nuking landscapes. No idea if that left permanent environment damage). Lastation was the only nation not doing anything really bad until you realize they had a satellite weapon that could nuke a main city from orbit and kill everyone in it. Oh right, that would probably also destroy the sharicite and I remember them talking that when that thing explodes it takes half the continent with it.

I dunno, is that even really Rei? Feels like it isn't or just a look alike. Or she's pretending real good.

>>2141663
Man that is harsh. 5pb died for Mages' sins.

>>2141666
>She lost her goddess powers, lost her memories temporarily
Those were things she willingly chose because she couldn't handle the guilt of what she'd done. So instead of trying to atone for what she did or make things better, she opted to run away and hide.
>was ignored by Noire and Histoire and then abandoned by them too
When did that happen? Noire and Histy have only been int he guild for a couple days, Nep is still staying at Noire's place, and both of them are actively pondering if/how they should reintroduce her to everyone.
The reversion scene you're talking about happened after one of PH's IH infusions, and she was mostly reacting the carnage all around her. And yet despite that she went back and continued the project. Also, remember that it wasn't just other nations she was attacking, she slaughtered plenty of her own people as well. There was a reason only Planeptune had a civil war break out.

As for Rei, I imagine it's a similar situation to what happened in V, where her memories are gone and she thinks she's human.

>>2141675
How is she supposed to atone and make up for things? Taking away all potential to mess things up again is probably her best idea of actually atoning.
Noire and Histy up n went joined the guild without even telling Nep, that's what I meant.
On the reversion, I am not sure Neptune actually had any say in what PH did. It's easy to discard that as bullshit but that's the impression I get from her character. PH was fucking insane, nobody is arguing that, I'm just saying that Neptune lost control of what PH was doing at some point and that was definitely before the fic started.

I think that is not actually the Rei we know but rather something that slipped into the game because Rei was pulverized in Celestia and Celestia is updating the game. Like Aura in .hack//

>>2141675
>So instead of trying to atone for what she did or make things better
She was going to do that before they died in the fight against Mages.

>>2141678
Oh yeah, didn't she sign up with Noire to save everyone's ass as everything was going to shit? That has to count for something.

Flat chested girl can breastfeed just fine(and their breast increased when they get pregnant). Beside it will be fun watching Noire nosebleed as Neptune breasfeed their children. Oh and and a bit of comedy as Vert try drinking Blanc milk while red face Blanc trying to resist her.

>>2143065
Same.

So Noire finally got with Neptune in Best Friends Forever? Is this the last chapter? It still says "to be continued"... Maybe an epilogue? Either way I still greatly enjoyed this fic.

>>2144062
Now if only The Proposal Part III-2 would update...

>>2144063
Patience my friend
Just read other fanfics in the meantime

>>2144062
Gotta say, that was an interesting way for Noire to give her answer.

>>2142595
Nice to finally see Milli getting some attention.

>>2144065
I've read them all Anon. Every single Neptune x Noire fic. I would write one, but I have no talent nor creativity.

>>2144172
Try something new.
BeruBuran is great too

>>2144181
What is BeruBuran?

>>2144203
Doesn't speak weeb.

>>2144203
BeruBuran
Beru - Veru - Vert
Buran - Bulan - Blan - Blanc

Basically, how the nips pronounce Vert and Blanc

>>2144203
VertBlanc the japanese VAs pronounce the names as Beru and Buran.

>>2144203
>>2144205
Every time I see Buran I can only think of the old Soviet space shuttle.

>>2144181
Not like there are many BeruBuran fics either.

>>2144237
The obvious one is pretty long and if you can enjoy Neps going to war in a serious capacity it is pretty good.

>>2144062
When the enemies appeared I almost flipped, I thought the author was going to troll us again and would not show Noire's answer in this chapter. But everything is fine now.

>>2144243
But besides Overhead I only know 2 other beruburan fics.

>>2144246
Did you read all three of those? That should carry you for a while if you haven't

>>2144248
Read both of them. And Overheat isn't even finished yet. And the online arc is starting to annoy me with how drawn out it is. I wish that Neptune was in it more. She is suffering, and I hope the other goddesses can find it in themselves to forgive her.

>>2144271
And the worst part is, despite the second half annoying me, I'm too emotionally attached because of the first half to quit reading it. I need to see it through to the end.

>>2144271
>>2144273
Well the last update had Neptune "join" the guild but the official talk hasn't happened yet.
We do know that the third "half" is going to be action again.

>>2144275
There was such a big gap between the recent 2 updates that I kind of forget what even happened. Can someone summarize it quickly for me?

>>2144271
I love the dark setting for Overheat, but I also hate it because it kind of turns me off of playing the games with all the happiness. On the bright side, all I need to do is play one of the games if the fic starts to get me depressed.

>>2144279
Basically, they leveled up the guild, got an airship, have been leveling to 99
Noteworthy things include that when Plutia was originally alive she befriended Peashy the Nanoha way and they became a couple for a way and Peashy remembers this.
There is also that Nep got kicked out of the Black Devotion guild that also has IF, Cave, Marvelous and the associated people in it because they thought the CPU guild would hunt them down.
Noire saved Nep's bacon after that and lets her stay at her place. Noire and Histy joined CPU guild.
I forgot who, I think it was Nepgear, but someone met someone who looked exactly like Rei but her name was the japanese name for Rei instead of the english one like everyone else. She is 100% gonna join because she is probably the magic archer class they are missing. The Maker character guild has no magic archer either.
Neptune joining the guild happened in the absolute most recent update and they are inviting her in because they need her.
Nepgear, Ram, Mina, Rom, Dengekiko and Kei are level 99 as of the latest chapter

>>2144281
I pm'd Kuugen on ff.net when ch38 hit and she teased that the third big arc is called Demise of Reality and Reason. Current arc is called Sublimation of Humanity. First arc was World at War.
If something is called that is has got to be dark.

>>2144294
Damn. "World at War" "Sublimation of Humanity" and "Demise of Reality and Reason" huh. I wish that Noire wasn't this queen of the night thing or whatever. Her personality was arrogant and prideful enough before. I still hope she winds up with Neptune though in the end.

>>2144326
I actually think Noire mellowed out a lot around the other goddesses now that she is a different type of ruler and not competing with them for the best of anything anymore
She's also fairly straightforward about caring for Uni. I don't really see her ending up Neptune, not if she is still chasing after Magic.

Personally when I hear Sublimation of Humanity I wouldn't expect "happy slice of life online world". I had to google what Sublimation even means.

So what is 4chan's opinion on the English dub of the games? I personally don't mind it. I just wish it had been a complete dub.

>>2144370
I like the dub for the most part, but it does suffer for its lack of scenes on top of many of the HDD voices sounding awful.

>>2144370
I like it for the most part, but it has certain notable problems.
Some lines are often too transliterated which makes them sound awkward. Some of Neptune's lines are cringe inducing. They still pronounce Vert incorrectly. Most of the voices fit the characters, but some really don't.
It's mostly nitpicking, but overall I prefer to listen to the characters speak than reading along.

>>2144370
Absolutely awful English script, pretty shitty and unfitting dub on top of that. No reason to ever enable it.

>>2144326
>I still hope she winds up with Neptune though in the end.
I really hope she doesn't. There are already lots of Nep/Noire stories, and Overheat's version of Neptune and Noire don't have any of the background and shared history that the game's versions do.
The relationship that Noire developed with Magic was great, and the reversal in their power dynamics when Magic gets brought back will make for some very entertaining scenes.

>>2144458
I hated the Magic x Noire, not even because I'm a nepnowa fan, since I'm okay with things like Noire x K-Sha. Besides Noire and Nep had a few sweet scenes in Overheat and it seems Noire used to have a crush on her.

>>2144458
Is that still a thing that will happen, Magic being brought back? With arc 3 being called "Demise of Reality and Reason" I expect shit hitting the fans levels unprecedented even in Overheat
>>2144460
I have my doubts about Magic being brought back but I am pretty sure Noire and Nep is not gonna be a thing at any point

>>2144465
Dunno, last chapter Noire have problems sleeping because she thought they might.

>>2144456
Source?

>>2144465
In one of the chapters before they enter the game, Croire tells Noire that Magic would be brought back as part of the process of restoring Arfoire, but that she might not retain her memories or personality.
It hadn't been talked about in a long time, but the new chapters have seen Histoire talk about Croire, and Noire noticing that the 'King defeated' message was spoken in Arfoire's voice.

>>2144474
Gebby's drawing style should be obvious by now.

>>2144474
Theres only one person with that art style.

I love this community so much. I can't believe actual conversations are happening on 4chan.

>>2144476
I know, but it seems it is not on twitter. Where did she post it?

>>2144475
Croire is the same manipulative monster that caused Rei to ruin her country. I don't trust her one bit. Arfoire voice being the announcer sounds to me like flavor.
>>2144472
Noire has a conscience, that doesn't mean she wants to fuck Nep.

>>2144678
She wouldn't be opposed to it though.

>>2144681
Pretty sure that Noire wouldn't go there as long as there is any hope to get Magic back.
Not to mention that with Nep becoming a goddess again, she and Noire can't be together anyway. Goddesses can't just go down to the graveyard willy-nilly

>>2144685
Dunno about Magic, but it's not sure yet if Nep will accept becoming a goddess again. They still need to talk about that.

>>2144687
It didn't look to me like she as given much of a choice.
And desu fampai I'm more curious how this new development with Chika, Mina and Kei is gonna go.

>>2144685
Why does Neptune need to become a goddess again? Can't she just work for Noire or something?

>>2144850
From what I understand, Celestia wants to keep the odds even and Lowee has 2 CPUs. Neptune becoming a CPU again is what evens the odds between the powers.

>>2144852
? But then we need 1 more Lastation CPU, no?

>>2144852
It's not that. Histoire is concerned that Lowee having two CPUs simultaneously could have severe consequences with Celestia, possibly leading to Vert being deleted. But she reasons that if another nation also has two CPUs, that's much less likely to happen.

I don't know. I just really dislike Noire being paired with CFW Magic in Overheat. It felt forced.

>>2144911
Nobody is saying you have to enjoy it but there is just very little to go on in saying Noire will be with Nep.

>>2144912
I know. I didn't mean it like that. Sorry.

>>2144911
I disagree. Granted, we only saw snippets of Noire's time in the Underworld, but the development of their relationship had good build-up and felt natural to me.
Also, the term 'forced relationship' has an entirely different connotation given Noire's status at the time.

>>2144924
>Also, the term 'forced relationship' has an entirely different connotation
Oh clever. In a way, that is a classic trope. It's kinda the same thing that happened with Blanc and Vert, isn't it?

If CH ever made a game without Neptune and Nepgear in it, how would you pair up the remaining characters?

>>2145475
With the same characters I've paired them before.

>>2145475
The same way I pair them up now. I don't care for Nepgear x Uni or Nep x Noire

>>2145475
I wouldn't. Noire and Uni would just be sad that their lovers are not present.

>>2145477
>>2145478
What would those actually be?

>>2145481
Pretend Planeptune didn't even exist.

>>2145493
Blanc and Vert, Ram and Rom, Cave and 5pb, IF and Compa, bunch of crack ships too

>>2145494
pssst.. Blanc x Plutia is better

>>2145501
There are Ultra Blanc and Hyper Blanc for each girl.

>>2145501
My care level for that pairing is zero

>>2145501
Noire/Plutia is better. Of course, Iris Heart/Everybody is best.

>>2145501
Please draw more of them.

>>2145493
>Pretend Planeptune didn't even exist.

I can't.

>>2145501
Pururut is disgusting and should stay alone.

>>2145510
You bet your shares I will

Anymore of that doujinshi?~ the nep x nowa?

>>2145545
Damn. I forgot how dark this story gets sometimes... Those war crimes...

>>2145475
I would pair Noire x Uni. Or Noire x K-Sha.

If everyone here contributes a little, we can buy the nepnowa doujin by Ge-B.

>>2145545
Instead of Magic x Noire, I'd rather Noire had become buddies with Iffy.

>>2145645
It's unbecoming for the Queen of the Underworld to have dalliances with her non-slave servants.

>>2145652
>>2145645
Actually Noire saved Iffy from slavery and employed her as a personal courier iirc

>>2145662
I think there was something like that, but I wish we got to see more Noire and Iffy interacting.

>>2145662
I'm pretty sure she was granted her freedom in exchange for the work she did.

>>2145672
I mean I think Noire hired her after she was granted freedom.

Either way I wouldn't get my hopes up by a whole lot considering Iffy is not a very big character in the story.
But talking about Iffy makes me remember those geass bullets that were used during the war.

>>2145673
I doubt those are still there, given that she was destroyed by Metafallica and then reconstituted when Gameindustri was remade.

>>2145679
The geass bullets were inside the CPUs and what not,I think at least, and those never actually died they just got beamed up by scotti to the heart dimension when Celestia rebooted the world

>>2145673
What were those bullets again? I forgot.

>>2145684
Pretty much you allowed yourself to get shot by one and then it remains dormant until whoever issued the bullet orders you to do 1 thing that you then have to do.
I would need to go back and look at what exactly it is

>>2145545
So, this chapter pretty thoroughly killed the Nep x Noire possibility. Noire admits that she loves Magic, and intends to stay with her in the Underworld. And Nep seems genuinely afraid of her, to the point of passing up opportunities for teasing.

>>2145798
10 bucks say Magic is not going to come back because Croire is a lying sack of shit. Noire gradually warms up to Nep after this. Nep always slips away from goddess duties to go and tease Noire in the underworld

>>2145802
If Croire is lying about it, then Noire will just find some other way to bring Magic back.
Plus, if that happens, Noire will remain the Queen, and thus Goddesses will be unable to be near her.

So in actual non-fanfic related Neptune news, Four Goddesses is apparently using Unreal Engine 4 and not Phyreengine like they and Gust and been using since forever.

Which apparently does not support Vita.

So console Neptune confirmed.

>>2145803
Good point
I still think this is all a giant red herring with Magic. Losing all those Nep x Noire fans sounds like an idiotic idea.

>>2145805
There is no reason to believe UE4 does not support the Vita. There are UE3 games on there.

Still, I do hope it's a proper console game.

>>2145807
>Losing all those Nep x Noire fans sounds like an idiotic idea
I don't think the author cares about that

>>2145839
>Still, I do hope it's a proper console game.
Think about us poorfags though, we can't buy ps4.

>>2145874
It'll come out on PC anyway.

>>2145805
But Tamsoft is making it so it's almost assuredly confirmed to be a spinoff.

>>2146205
Where does it say anything about Tamsoft?

>>2146209
The gematsu article.

>>2146652
Ge-B is the hero we need.

>>2146652
I can't put with words how much I love this.

>>2145807
Turning Neptunia into a edgy fanfic was already an idiotic idea.

>>2146915
Fanfics are an idiotic idea in the first place.

>>2146915
I disagree but you're entitled to your irrelevant opinion

>>2146916
What makes fanfic any more idiotic than fanart or doujins?
Sure, there's plenty of awful fic. But there's plenty of awful everything.

>>2146925
You have more awful fics because with an awful fic, the writer can look at it and think it's great
But with awful doujins or fanart, specifically the art being awful, it is much clearer to whoever made it that it is in fact awful and so they don't release it.
So while of all the things equal measures of shit exist, shit writing gets released more.
And of course letting >>2146916 post is an idiotic idea.

>>2146926
>it is much clearer to whoever made it that it is in fact awful and so they don't release it
Go look up something moderately popular on deviantart. Or even pixiv.

Even pixiv has shitty Neptunia fanart on it.

>>2146915
I'm okay with edgy Neptunia depending how it is handled. Actually it doesn't need to be a bloodbath, just something serious.

Although I hate fics about Conquest ending, because there are too many of them. Or any story with Murdergear. Conquest was nice on its own, no need any more of it.

>>2146935
Yes, but for every shitty drawing there are 10 shitty drawings that didn't get uploaded
While in the meantime, 11 shitty fanfics got uploaded
That's what I mean

>>2146744
Whoa, nice.

>>2146936
I like that while Overheat takes itself pretty seriously, it isn't above meme humr and puns. I am honestly kinda bored with the super fluff online arc right now because I signed up for the edgy but we are promised more action in arc3
I totally believe conquest and murdergear is gonna show up in some capacity in arc3

>>2146916
There are good ones. You've got your pick of drama, fluff, or edgy ones in Neptunia. I'm happy.

>>2146935
Deviantart = diaper, vore, obesity, quicksand, tickle, foot.

I feel the need to go to a therapist everytime I visit deviantart. Pixiv at least has less of these, but yeah, it has some shitty art too.

>>2146943
Part of the reason the online arc feels like it's dragging was the long stretches between updates. It hasn't actually been that many chapters.
Speaking of which, 41 just went up.

>>2146952
I like 2 of those, so it's not that bad.

>>2146954
Well now that she has a Paetron up and her normal publishing job is gonna be gone in a couple months I expect more updates and no more breaks.
And 41 sure was a thing holy fuck. What am I even supposed to feel for Rei now

>>2146936
Maybe I simply had too much negative experience with Fics. I even tend to avoid the more fluffy ones now and only read doujin.

>>2146967
It sucks that we barely have any yuri nep doujins.

Are there any Neptune x Noire doujins that are any good?

>>2146974
If you mean without futanari, maybe only this one:
https://exhentai.org/g/647075/5e2cddcae5/

>>2146973
True.

>>2146974
https://exhentai.org/g/666581/8ba6a7c7a3/

Ignore the Futa tag. I am pretty convinced it is just a toy.

Overheat can't make up its mind whether Nep x Noire will be a thing or not. That fucking hugging scene out of nowhere.

"paralles between her situation and Rei's" (fuck FF.net doesn't allo to copy paste)

Berserk Noire when?

>>2146990
You can copy from ff.net by inspecting page source or killing javascript for the page

And hopefully Berserk Noire nev-
Part 3 is called Demise of Reason and Reality
Goddammit the foreshadowing

>>2146987
Maybe the author is a sadist and just wants to torture nepnoire fans. It is working.

>>2146987
Personally, I want it, but with Kuugen you can't predict anything.

>>2146996
>you can't predict anything
I still don't know if this is a bad thing or not. definitely not a good though tho
