So for those who are reading my page, here's a little information about myself.
As my name suggests, I am a huge fan of Japanese Eroge. I still watch the occasional anime here and there, and I still read quite a bit of manga, but basically 90% of my free time is spent on eroge and visual novels.
In contrast to a lot of anime and manga out there, these games show clear relationships between the protagonist and the heroine of your choice. Seriously, I'm sick and tired of seeing vague harem endings >___>.
In the past I used machine translators, such as ATLAS, to play untranslated games. However, I study Japanese in my free time, and currently use the "Machine Assisted Method" to play raw games. My current play method looks something like this:

Yeah I'll have to get around to reading SC sometime. Almost everything comes to steam these days at the very least ^^. Sucks for me because there's a lot of WII U games I'm interested in but they are shelling that console out already =(
Lately I've been playing a lot of rogue lites to tap into my inner hardcore gamer hah. I feel like I want to wait until Dragon Quest XI or something before I tackle another JRPG. Are there any other game types you like? Valkyria Chronicles is a nice pick if you like strategy rpgs.
On the other hand I started playing because I heard it was short and sweet, and that is absolutely true. Very well paced and fun game overall (well fun might not be the right word). I definitely recommend it if you want something a tad different, but isn't a super long story (takes little more than 10-12 hours to read it all). Ruri is definitely my favorite red head of the year (yeah I'm biased so take what I say with a grain of salt).
And yeah maybe. I think it's because I like listening to voice acting but it seems like most visual novel readers click through them, which probably slows down my time quite a bit.
Sigh this is why I really don't like much drama in charage's. Most of the time they just ass pull there way to a happy ending anyway so it's hard to take it seriously or even if I do I'll feel stupid for taking it seriously like I did here.
Granted the true route and the other two routes might change my opinion but at the moment I'm vastly disappointed because this could have actually been really good just for this one route alone >_>
No doubt it's a pretty simple melancholy game. I haven't played a loli ish game in awhile so I thought it would be a nice change of pace and so far its working on me, but of course I'll need to get further into it.
BokuAkuma looks like a nukige from its premise. But I do like dem character designs.
Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo I'll probably still check out because the main girl is voiced by one of my favorite eroge seiyuu (Mai Gouto). Hopefully it's only boring at the beginning (I'm guessing that's the problem with the demo?).
Guess I'll check out leyline sometime then. About how long is each game would you say?
I think I like dating sim ish games a good bit because usually there's not a lot of distractions and it just focuses on the pure romance between the main and the female though.
Natsuiro recipe was way better than pure x connect and at the very least it tried to make you care about two of the relationships so in comparison it wasn't bad. So yeah I guess by playing worse charage's it puts things into perspective. It's just all about Yuzu for the most part so unless you love her then the game is going to be a huge miss.
I guess so. My guess is people just liked it because it had nice artwork, voice acting and the heroines base personalities were indeed fun. I've never seen such a waste in a charage before quite honestly. It's like the person who wrote the heroine routes didn't even read the common route or something. I might be over-exaggerating but that's probably the worse charage I've played in the last 2 years.
I've heard about that. Do like the main character and the main heroine hook up every game or something? Or do they act like tsun about their relationship until the end, because it seems kind of odd for the guy to hook up with other girls if ya know what I mean. It does seem like the pacing is good though.
Daitoshokan I finallyyyyy got myself to beat. Yeah also wasn't worth it even though I really liked some of the heroines. Tried too hard to be a story game and a charage at the same time and therefore left both of these aspects unsatisfied. Kodachi was great, but overall I thought the game reallllllly overstayed its welcome.
Oh but I've been reading Rose Guns Days for now. Very Hollywood/Shounen like with mafia and a whole lot of fun. It's a nice change of pace if you need a break from the norm.
There's literally like....no reason to care about any of the relationships. I can't buy the romance in the game at all. The common route felt like almost a waste of time because absolutely no development was really given outside of Moemi.
The only saving grace is the heroines have likable personalities and at least have some chemistry with Hayato. But considering its hard to care...its like whats the point?
So yeah definitely a skip if you ask me.
Right now I've just been gaming though. I think when I come back to VN's I'll probably be playing them at a much more casual pace due to being busy.
I don't like manga as much most of the time unless I know its complete. It's just so annoying to read something then wait like 4-8 years for it to finish. When I was younger I could tolerate that, but as I'm older I'm actually more impatient xD. Anime isn't as bad and I'm not too picky on subs. I'm just one of those forgiving readers who will just laugh and find enjoyment out of bad subtitles if they are bad. The only anime this season I think I'm interested in is Gangsta.
I'm on a break from eroge at the moment. Played too much for the last 2-3 years so its lacking kick laterly xD (I was basically playing nonstop so I'm well overdue for a break).
Yeah evenicle seems fun based on your review. Nice job on it~ Probably not something I would play personally though.
