| I just finished Muv-Luv Alternative. Holy shit. Was gonna power through Remember11 and Never7 but I don't think anything can follow Alternative xD Gonna let that game sink in for a while. I didn't want to displace Little Busters! from my top 3, so I changed it to my top 4 :) Not sure where MLA fits exactly, somewhere between CLANNAD and Umineko for me. |

Stalker-tan said: It's p. cool seeing people finishing the ML trilogy lately. It took me a few days to actually appreciate that ending.I recently finished the entire Muv-Luv series and I do have to say that MLA has given me afterthoughts even now. Such a captivating VN. Currently playing Sharin no Kuni, although I currently have no access to my VN's. :( After that... I'm not sure. Got a bunch to play through, however, so I doubt that I'll run out of things to do anytime soon. I have to say, though, I'm glad that my friend got me into playing visual novels. Might be off-topic, but I wonder: how did you all get into playing visual novels? If you think it's more appropriate to start a new thread for this discussion, I can do so. I am, however, lazy. Which is why I'm asking here~ Re: my getting into visual novels, well I was a Clannad fanboy years ago so I obv. explored all media related to it but I didn't really finish reading the VN because I didn't have a lot of time. Then two years ago, someone recommended I read G-Senjou for its supposedly epic ending, and there I got hooked again. |

| For me it was just totally on impulse really. Before I came to MAL I was a long time member in a different community called TeamLiquid and we've had a VIP Skype group for years which I'm still part of, and one of the guys there was playing Katawa Shoujo at some point and was posting pics and thoughts while he was doing it, and I just became casually interested since I had nothing better to do so I just picked it up as well. This was during Christmas 2012, and after finishing it I Google'd my way to VNDB and just started picking off high-rated titles that sounded interesting, starting with the Key-games, then G-senjou, Muv-Luv etcetera. I didn't really get back into anime as an adult again (had watched some as a kid) until I started with VNs on a whim, as the first "real" anime I watched in modern time was Clannad + AS after reading the VN just because I was curious about what the differences was. This was in the beginning of 2013 and since then I've not really done much in my free time other than anime/manga/VNs/LNs. Looking back at it it was really very much so a matter of chance that things ended up this way but I've never regretted it for sure. |

| Currently busy with Air atm... well busy is not the right word. Let's just put it this way, it's definately not dropped but currently not very high priority either. Btw I hear a lot of praise for MLA, but I can't really get through extra/unlimited...I 've heard that you should read it before you play MLA, but I find the humor just well... not to my taste. Will MLA be anything for me then or is it just like extra but a bit better? |

Will MLA be anything for me then or is it just like extra but a bit better? if you at least get to Unlimited you'll be more on the right track about what you'll expect later on though with 10x the production value and 50x the epicness |

| playing SubaHibi. It'll be the first VN I find interesting enough to finish. It's not only interesting it's just.. awesome. I can only recommend everyone to check it out and play it, it's definitely worth it! |

Chaos;head was a VN that took me a long time to get through, but that was mostly because I had shit to do at university. In the end, though, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some VN's take longer time before they're "interesting". You're right about that. My impatience isn't that nice, considering that VN's are generally longer... Problem is in 2 weeks my work starts again and I'll be very busy =-= But I'll definitely still finish Grisaia. Just a question of when.... |

Some VN's take longer time before they're "interesting". It seems you don't drop stuff. I for one, pretty much dislike every single character of Sharin no Kuni except for Sachi and writer guy (can't remember his name). I played chapter 1 to see what it was like. Then I got into chapter 2 Sachi's route. I finished the route and thought to myself, I don't like the story of this VN and the way people think in this VN. Now assuming Sharin no Kuni has a true route. You're basically telling me not to judge it before I'm done with the whole VN. Which means many hours of additional suffering. I think it's better to drop stuff if you don't enjoy it and move on to better stuff. |

doom19876 said: Well yeah I'd say it's worth it. There are so many stories out there that are far too ending heavy to be judged before you're done with them. I mean take Ever17 for example; the entire game just provides you more and more questions and doesn't really answer stuff for you before the True route, but as a tradeoff that is instead pretty much the best single route ever made. If you were to start the game and drop it midway, there was literally zero point in even starting it since you still don't understand shit about the story.HaXXspetten said: what's the point of playing VNs if you never finish them? at least all the ones that have true routes shouldn't even be judged before you're done with them really Stalker-tan said: I suggest you stick through the VN's you've yet to finish, it might be worth it.

Some things are better in retroperspective than when you're actually playing them as you'll look at it in a different way when you actually know what is going on. |

| It's just that sometimes atleast I don't drop VN based on stories but based on character design and other things. If they make something which is obvious that it should be fun in their eyes and I don't agree then our opinions differ. Things that can make me lose interest are for example: Bad humour (especially if it's not scarce and lots of effort is put into), so long bad humour scenes. Overused long bad humour scenes... Dumb characters doing dumb things defying normal logics. (helpless characters beyond reason, characters making weird decisions) Characters missing the obvious (Lucia route from Rewrite for example, The route could have ended like 2 hours faster if he just said a certain thing) All mighty genius characters who think they're in control of everything. So yeah, even if the story isn't inherently bad. I'm not always willing to actually suffer to get through the bad parts to see a story that might be good. With an emphesis on might be because that's not even certain. And no I don't always drop stuff I don't like at first sight. I played Tomoyo after. I hated Takafumi to no end, he was just doing his best to be annoying. I mean come on... walking in on your sister every single day. Then there was headstrong Tomoya who wouldn't budge. Basically the only good part I remember and care to remember was Tomoyo's arc. In my eyes, if only the story matters a summary would suffice most of the time. I want to be kept interested as I read. |

| Currently playing Grisaia no Kajitsu and so far i'm really enjoying it and also just recently started fate/stay night. |
| Reading Dies Irae. Can't fathom how FSN is the more popular chuuni VN when DI is in leagues so much better. And I'll be an ultra hipster and read Hello, Lady instead of Comyu just to spite Ixwreck. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Maybe because DI is not translated? :P |
|
| If My Heart Had Wings ... pretty interesting so far |
 |
| I just finished Muv-Luv Alternative about the same time as one of my friends. Overall, it was extremely enjoyable up until Operation Cherry Blossom. Personally I found the Operation to be entirely too Melodramatic and predictable, and the actual ending after the Operation felt extremely rushed as well. My friend on the other hand hated the ending even more than me. I guess he just wasn't satisfied with it at all as he wanted a proper resolution with the BETA as well as more political wars with the Americans. To him it felt like they ran out of money and had to finish everything off quickly. |
| just finished SubaHibi I have never been trolled like this, even irl |
| Playing another entry in the Steampunk series (my favorite series of VNs ever <3), Ourai no Gahkthun -What a shining braves-. Oohh and what do we have here, hehe? >:3 moonnya said: just finished SubaHibi I have never been trolled like this, even irl I hereby welcome you to the "Subahibi trolled me too hard" club alongside myself and err probably everyone else that has read the Visual Novel to boot. ^^ Seriously though, you'll go from being weirded out by it to becoming obsessed with it (maybe, if it already fits your tastes) after having a second reading of the story. Subahibi is pretty much meant to be read more than once in order to understand it even by the writer's standards, and his standards are already hardcore. After the 3 times that I've read Subahibi (because it's my prime obsession in life <3), I can safely say through an opinion it's the greatest story ever written in a VN. Or well... Correction: It's my all-time favorite story ever written in general. xD |

| I finished Baldr Sky a couple weeks ago and now I'm mostly relaxing with simple stuff. Himanatsu, Dracu-Riot (Azusa's route), and the last couple chapters of Eustia. Whenever those are all done I'll start up Sona-Nyl and White Album 2. |
 |
| Been going on and off between routes of Grisaia no Kaijutsu. Just started playing again for the anime hype.. even though I have doubts on the adapt but I'm loving the intensity for each character routes so far. |
| It's been some time since I last read a VN but now I decided to read/play Himegari Dungeon Meister. Sadly, it's like an older version of Kamidori Alchemy Meister, so I'm not really sure what to expect yet. |
| Now i'm reading Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku -, really like it, nothing to say more ;P |
| Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. |
| I started reading dies irae, kinda nice so far. |
| Swan Song, one more down from the list! |
| naners~ |
| Just finished Elina Route in Dracu-Riot, now started Comyu. |
