she was the only route in a vn that made we want to stop reading it halfway through and just move onto the next girl.

I'm assuming it's just an ikikoi tier meme now to get people's hopes up for the character.

or some people just really like the whole retarded heroine deal.

remember 11 was the best infinity game.

root double was great and all but really I don't understand.
They took everything right with all his novels and threw them into remember 11 and it was great and the best mind fuck I ever witnessed.
It had the best art (really why didn't they use this artist more wtf) the best characters, no highschool shit (they took that from never 7) They got the closed space from ever 17 and fused them together with great pacing and no slow downs unlike fucking root double that went ASS backwards with hichschool life shit and cooking.
>>
>>155209404
Also the plot was on its own and greatly different from his other works, I/0 was also different but it wasn't as perfect as a mystery as remember 11. It dealt more with social problems in the future and religion and shit.

Not being a key visual novel is a good thing though. It's the best their company has ever produced.

This is less Nutaku and more of the original Aigis devs giving zero fucks about our version. Though it probably won't improve much when/if Nutaku takes full control of that game.

>>155211276

If you actually read kanon and clannad (kanon more so) the feeling of the visual novel is on a mystical level or something like that. All of juns novels were like that.

Rewrite had nothing like that, it was just thrown together and no 5 hours of randomly being decent (even though I thought the last chapter was terrible and out of place in a fucking key visual novel were none of the fucking girls mattered in the end after you read fucking 2 WEEKS of them and their terrible fucking routes ) could fix this visual novel.

>>155211773
Oh I get it and I actually read REAL books that are far more complex then the shit that was rewrite.
Go read 2001,duma key,neromancer,a clockwork orange and more, ANY of those are on whole other levels. Hell go fucking read GRRM.
>>155211883
So being a retarded shounen with 90% terrible waste of time routes is a good story rather than a well paced romance with structure? Where you waste loads of time on a 6 hour gain of something just ok?

Rewrite is something you kinda forget about anyway and kanon and jun sticks with you.

Really who actually goes back and thinks about rewrite when you think of a key VN,nobody.
And its because it's trying to be a key vn with other shit thrown into it. If it actually tried to be what romeo was doing with it at the end, it wouldn't have character routes or any of those shitty routes at all that were trying to be something its not, a key route but bad with random shounen thrown in . The worst part is you HAVE to read them.

Am I the only one who actually liked Lucia? I was really enjoying most of her route up until the date in the mall. After the date it just went to shit. Just like the rest of the VN.

I really like class rep characters.
>>
>>155213524
More like the orange haired girl, holy shit man that was bad, I don't even want to remember her name. FUCK the who wrote that.
but really all of them were.
But maybe you just don't like the genre of a key vn to begin with because kanon really did have something to it, maybe it was the winter theme and how well it used it. to be honest I most likely couldn't read one these days but I could sure read it again before rewrite, nothing is worse then bad shounen in a vn, most of the time its awful to even have it. look at Tokyo babel.
>>
>>155213870
Lucia Route is -objectively- bad.
I'm not even memeing, it truly is.
>>
>>155213870
I loved her character and the date actually I remember her the most because her scenes in the common route were the most "key" like thing. actually just like you said her route was good till it went to shit, like the rest of the vn.
>>
Having never read Rewrite, what makes the Lucia route so bad? I always hear people talk about it like it's the worst thing ever.

Red-pill me.
>>
>>155214081
There's a mystery told from a character's point of view which describes events, in a seemingly objective way such as "the door was closed."
Then it just goes "the door was open all along, the character the POV was from is the culprit!"

It's an insult to any reader.
>>
>>155214081
it has a gay mystery at the start and is too long (the longest route in the game)

if the mystery was removed and the overall length was cut down it wouldn't be so bad really. the hate is overblown in any case
>>
Do you have any small preferences when it comes to which honorifics the characters use in their relationship?

It doesn't make or break anything, but i'm totally a sucker for no honorifics at all, either from the start or after developing the relationship enough

Really? I haven't read anything else by Key, but if that's true maybe I should finally get around to it.

>>155214081
Aside from the retarded mystery, it has also a retarded genre-shift into a chuuni shounen that takes itself too seriously out of nowhere. Most of the latter half of Rewrite is like that actually.

I really disliked Rewrite outside of the common route. Moon was a dumb chuuni exposition dump and Terra was kinda okay at the beginning, then it just becomes a shounen anime.
>>
>>155214467
It must hurt to have taste this bad.

>>155213870
She was the most cute girl in it.
Akane had the only decent route that we could call good, it still went to shit at the end/middle and started to have no scenes at all with her and bad pacing. the ending ended on a decent note though.

>>155214081
the vn was bad don't read it. but her route was bad because it got stupid and every character got retarded. She didn't have the worst route, chihaya did because it was retarded shounen.
All of them were bad compared to a key vn, they were out of place and didn't matter at all, none of them did.

shit vn.

If you hated all of the shit outside of the common route (which was the only key like thing but worse).

You will like kanon and clannad a fuck on.
They are both really good and completely different from rewrite. they are romance/slice of life with a odd fansty too them. read kanon first I would say since its older. clannad is 300 hours long.

Jesus christ no. I mean you can have your opinion and everything but Kotarou is the most insufferable piece of shit in the whole medium. I haven't disliked a VN MC as much as I did with Kotarou. I hate everything about him, his stupid design and his voice. The only thing he had going for him was the self-deprecating humor in the map segments and the skits with Lucia about Chihaya being a mecha.
>>
>>155215706
Yoshino was whatever and
>Kotarou

Holy shit if anything he was the worst highschool student MC I ever had to sadly read.
he was one of the worst parts about that vn.

every other key by jun had a pretty great main character who most of the time was pretty mature for his age. the kanon mc felt a lot older than he was, I thought in the anime he was at least 20. plus he really didn't go to school much, cant remember why. Jun just cut that shit out.

He's an obnoxious asshole. Just like you.
His constant condescending attitude, teasing and non-stop pranks set my teeth on edge. But it's okay because it's played for comedy! Except it's not amusing, at all. The shit he pulls isn't in good fun, it's outright malevolent and always at the cost of others.
In an actually remotely realistic scenario people would bash his head in for being a cunt and no one would want to have anything to do with him.

Someone always deletes them for no fucking reason. It's pretty stupid. Meanwhile, Ace Attorney and Danganronpa threads remain unmolested.

That's why so many of us like having /vn/ and want Japanese content to remain on /jp/. It's because this is basically the only safe space. The majority of people on /v/ leave VN threads alone, but plenty of them just roll in, post some variant of

In most cases, they do. There are certainly VNs where sex is an integral part of the story, and I can truly appreciate that and I couldn't imagine those games without the sex scenes. But there are so many games where the sex is just shoehorned in without making any sense.

If a sex scene could be elided with either a tasteful fade-to-black or at most a Sensual Embrace CG where limbs conveniently obscure all Naughty Bits, would you consider said sex scene shoehorned?
>>
>>155257102
Plus non-graphic ways of depicting sex are just as valid, and in the industry they're shunned due to expectations.
For example Symphonic Rain's very important sex scene which is basically a tasteful and well executed fade-to-black.
It seems in most cases the author would be forced to write a detailed sex scene just for the sake of the market.

Show plays around with a lot of ideas, but doesn't have time to hammer them out. Living in an occupied city, a defeated Japan being occupied by foreign powers, and a resulting society emerging of darwinian powers being explored by teenagers with a looming external threat.
It had good ideas, just needed to be fleshed out, so why aren't people reading the VN?

I was talking about eroge in my original post. The conversation was concerning eroge being eroge for the sake of being eroge.

I never implied all VNs should be all-ages or anything of the sort. I simply intended to express my discontent with an industry that focuses nearly exclusively on H-scenes and cute girls rather than story telling. I know I could just read a book, but I rather enjoy the VN format and all that entails and wish I could enjoy a more mature version of my hobby.

Anon, people can't make great art just because they want to or decide to. The people qualified and interested in making the type of games that you want are already doing so, and the people making games that you don't like because they're focused solely on H-scenes and cute girls couldn't just decide to start making what you like. They don't have the talent for that. Human talent is not fungible. Learn to be happy with what you get.

No bruh, there is room in this universe for shlock as well as quality. It's the shlock that defines what is quality, because without bad there's no reference point for what is good. That is why hurricanes, human evil, and bad eroge exist, to act as the reference point for times of peace, human goodness, and quality eroge.

I learned this in theology classes. Very useful.

The fact that sex is built into the medium, allows Visual Novels to tell stories that would be impossible in any other medium.
VNs have the assumption of sexual content built in, so people like Gen Urobuchi don't need to hold back. The sexual content was key to the plot in Saya no Uta, a violent Rape was key to the plot in Kikokugai, and getting the player to care about the story. That's why Gen started with VNs.
It's an exception when other mediums deal with sexual content, there's a built in expectation that VNs will deal with sexual content

Well, aside from the fact that cinema and teevee are well into that nowadays, regular books have been going as far as and beyond VNs for decades. Like shit, you can't read any award-winning book without societally unacceptable sex being involved. Literally just looking at the top shelf of my bookshelf I see four books that contain depictions of sexual activity that I would define as Super Illegal, but all four are either canonical or otherwise award-winning.

Regular books are rife with that sort of thing, especially since they stopped burning them.

Plenty of translators drop games halfway through the translation for less reason than that. It took me like five years just to translate one game. It can be really soul crushing work when you translate for four hours and only see the progress go up by 0.25%.

>I read the entirety of Umineko as it came out and I feel like I'm being generous when I give it a 4/10. It's a convoluted mess that reads like it was written by a 12 year old. The Japanese fanbase refuses to so much as give Ryuukishi the time of the day nowadays for good reason.

>Honestly, I find the extent to which the western fanbase is obsessed with Umineko to this day to be frightening in a sense. I have no idea how you guys can drone on about it day after day nearly six years after the final episode was released; Ryuukishi is a hack who has no idea how to actually tell a story that does anything except continually bait the reader with red herrings and empty promises of greater themes. He's been like this since Higurashi and will never improve, either on a technical level or as a storyteller in general.

>Like I said, almost no Japanese fan cares about Ryuukishi nowadays, and it's more than people just being pissed off about episode 8 of Umineko (people were pissed off about Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi long before then, anyway). It's because they've had enough exposure to him to see through his tricks and stop falling for his brand of spectacle and sophistry. And yes, his terrible, childish text is part of the problem too - there are parts of Higurashi that have such embarrassingly poor writing that they're used as copypasta on 2ch.
>>
>>155325661
I don't know man, for me, I ended up really enjoying it. It's one of my favorite VNs, more so that I actually ended up re-reading it after I finished it. The story was actually a lot more better on a re-read and I was able to make sense of everything a lot better. At first I was kinda mad at the answer and the culprit, but in hindsight, it all makes sense and most of the criticism I see regarding the culprit seem to me like misinterpretations.

I can see why people dislike it, it's definitely not for everyone, but it's something I ended up really enjoying.

Yeah, what's interesting about the fight scenes though, is the first time you read it, (at least this was that way for me), I just thought that they were randomly put in there to fool the audience, but then going back and re-reading it, it's interesting how many hints to the culprit there were in those fantasy scenes. It's kinda funny how the whole series changes on a re-read in general. I found Umineko to be a lot more tragic and sad the second time than I did initially.

Yeah. There were clues to the motive, it's actually pretty explicit. I think one of the scenes where the foreshadowing to the culprit is at its most explicit is probably at the end of episode 2 with the George and Shannon fantasy scene.

How so?
>>155333576
I mentioned this earlier but fan translators bought by localization companies are more likely to produce more translations so killing those companies would just lead to less overall translations. They may come out slower due to red tape but there's more of them.
>>
>>155334105

But you don't, because you're not the type of person that would put in the effort to learn Japanese, let alone use it produce a finished translation.

If you were actually put in that situation, you would sell out, just like every other translator that has gotten SP's jewbucks.

Not that anon, in my case it'd definitely depend on what i'm translating and why i'm translating it. If it's something I adore and I'm translating it because I want everyone to experience it I couldn't be bought out by money even if it was an OBSCENE amount. If it was something I was translating out of boredom or simply to say I did, I'd probably sell out for cheaper than a Thai hooker.

You're making 2 mistakes, mostly oversimplifications. The first point is weaker than the second, so please focus attention on the second.
1) You assume you'd be able to finish the translation without assistance. Translating takes a lot of time and double timing a full-time job with fan translating is not feasible for most people. Meanwhile, selling the TL to a localizer generally would allow you to work full time.
2) That selling the TL is somehow bad. If the company is still alive, then an official TL will allow them to earn additional income which will help them continue creating products and potentially make even better products. Fan translations do have slight spill over into sales but it's really not that much. What has made people so butthurt over sold translations is that they then take longer to release - a primary example is Subahibi which is done but waiting on official action. What I ask you, is how is taking a bit longer to come out a significant negative for the project? While Subahibi is a mystery, generally the delays can be accounted to polishing the game engine, translation, and so on which lead to a better quality product. It's not wasted time or anything. With this in mind, how is selling the TL bad? It generally results in a better translation and the developers benefit from it.

In conclusion: Selling fan translations can help you, help the developer, and help all the readers. It's not a negative action to take.
