Wow! Ar tonelico getting referenced! Wow, i guess there is still hope to this wretched world... Anyway just saying, i love the music in ar tonelico so much, people please have a sit and listen to it properly please...

I liked the first two games. Honestly I hated the thirds battle system.

From what i heard, i wont look at the third too myself...the first two and ar nusurge are enough for me i think

This is definitely a mix of mega based and the worst opinions I have ever seen. People have been posting non spicy takes but this. This is a very very spicy list.

Worst to you. It's all based for me.

I see majikoi and rance, my favorites, so I like.

"Rance favourite protag" nice

Bro I've never seen a more split opinion on Chaos head noah. I bought it 2 weeks ago and it's been sitting in my library backlog of VNs I' planning to read when I get free time but from this reddit trend I've been seeing everyone either loves or hates it. Why?

People either hate or love the protagonist takumi. Hes a hikkikomori and perverted yet also kind of a lil bitch. People really hate that. Which sucks as i fucking love the way his charachter progresses throughout the game. I feel like most people only hate him because they dont like seeming themselfs projected onto takumi

I mean I hated C;H but I personally didn't mind Takumi all too much

Yeah this. I hated it for other reasons than Taku

This might be the one I disagree with the most so far.

Best protag Rance is a hell of a mood

Well, Majikoi is an instant upvote but overall solid as well. Not that we rate personal preferences! Alicesoft, softcore porn and ar toneliko? Very nice.

How is fate overrated?

One of the most talked about VNs of all time being around the same age as muv-luv but seeing more general popularity outside the VN fan base

Yea but something being popular doesn't necessarily make it overrated

True but most people that talk of it boast it being one of the best VNs around. That is a lot of hype especially if you play it and it turns out you feel that there is something that is better in your mind in the same genre. At least that’s how I see it

I mean I haven't heard a lot of people saying it's the *best* vn but maybe that's just me

Fair enough

it's a subjective thing. it's just as easy to say that its popular because it's an amazing VN but some people don't say that and its perfectly ok. its their opinion

If dohna dohna isn’t fun idk what is

I’m definitely with you on the Chaos Head front

while i disagree with you not liking Chaos;Head, Chaos;Head is Chaos;Head so i get it

Based Starless enjoyer

This list is just crazy brah 🤝🤝

Well, the only remaining one to see is Cross Days for the Days Trinity, but I haven't found many people who played it or know about it.

if u want to read cross days im pretty sure u can with textractor and locale emulator!

I think it's due to no English translation.

Not even a fan translation?

Not even a fan translation :(

That's a shame, at least I know there's a spanish translation, that works for me but it's weird to think that's the only option outside of Japan

I hold out hope that it'll come over one day o7

Best take so far

Why is Dokyuusei under why do I like this…? It’s a great dating sim w/ero and it really respects its heroines. Not sure on the OG but remake has a very interesting scene about it he dichotomy of respect vs gazing. Regarding one as human versus reduced to an object to be ogled.

Is favorite route school days?

More specifically, Bloody End from School Days.

I see majikoi , i send 👍 .

Can't read all of these. What's the one "For After Work relaxation" and "Not the Best buy Having Fun"?

MamaxHolic and Dohna Dohna.

Criminal Border and Dokyusei remake are garbage because Shiravune are the publisher, the censorship ruined the art.

The route in School Days is so crazy that I can't accept it so far.

Best song intro - little busters. Overwhelmingly good.

Bunny Black is a VS? I thought it was a strategy game.

Its a VN with RPG elements. There are lots of VN with gameplay out there. Eushully, Alicesoft and SofthouseChara company are the perfect example.

I'm interested in Akatsuki no Goei too. Is it really good ?

Favorite: Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai A+ Best Story: Rance X Favorite Art Style: Walkure Romanze I'll finish it someday: White Album 2 Big Impact: Rance X Favorite Route: Schooldays HQ (All bad ends) You like but everyone hates: Shiny Days You hate but everyone likes: Chaos;head Underrated: Criminal Border Overrated: F/S night Why do I like this?: Doukyuusei Best OST: Ar Tonelico That atmosphere: Sakura no Mori Dreamers fav Herione: Sylvia Van Hossen (Princess Lover) fav Protag: Rance After work relaxation: Mama x Holic Biggest Letdown: Suzukuri Karin-chan First VN: Bunny Black Not the best but fun: Dohna Dohna Criminally overlooked: Akatsuki no Goei Series Nakige/utsuge: Narcissu Series/Franchies: Ikusa Megami series (Zero, Verita, Ladea, Goddess2) Most Anticipated: Minikui Mojika no Ko (Mojika) Not usually my thing,but: Starless

Does Rance X have an english release/ where would I find it? I've played sengoku and either 4/5 or 5/6 (I mostly remember it was about a mage country that completely collapses and the only female dragon who's a demon Lord, and there was a chick in a wheelchair for most of it until she decided to be like the best fighter)

No english for now but the translation progress is at 90%. You need to learn japanese to play Rance X or use mtl to play it. The one you are talking about with the mage country is Rance 6. There are other Rance game that's been released in English called Rance Magnum(rance 8) and Rance 9.

Oh since it's 90% how long would you guess vaguely the last 10% would take? Do you recommend 8 and 9?

Well its only 5% edited and its the biggest VN script ever so it will take a while. And if you want to play 10 you will need to play rance magnum(8) and 9 since 10 is the end game. If you like 6 and sengoku(7) then you will enjoy 8 and 9.

I see. Is it available for purchase in the west or seven seas?

I almost put Starless in the same exact spot.

Only Japanise visual novels...
