Monster Harem

Is this supposed to be erotic? I read the first few chapters as research for my rape-comedy, but it's about some dude that lives in a fucking barn. It's disgusting. I gotta draw the line at bestiality.

I share your feelings about the speed of reading and the subsequent negative effect it can have on immersion. I personally appreciate the inclusion of music and sounds however, even if it can be distracting at times. Horror and mystery VIsual Novels really benefit from the added atmosphere they provide if used competently.

I admit I haven't read any of Haruki Murakami's works, so I can't really recommend anything (and going from his bio, it seems a rather hard feat to top). 999 is one of the better written Visual Novels out there, but have you played the Ace Attorney series? You might be interested in Higurashi and Umineko as well.

I don't know, I haven't read a comic story in general that I thought was better than a good novel(maybe 7 Seeds?), and there's so many ways to go wrong with all the extra junk that comes with being a VN.

I did play the first Ace Attorney game. And Nocturnal Illusions when I was in middle school LOL

I'm more willing to pay good money for a story than most, but I just haven't been sold by the concept itself.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";141694300]I don't know, I don't like extra stuff when I'm reading because it's not in sync with me, you know? If the text scroll isn't faster than I can read, that's a problem. Music changing or animations flipping get distracting. I read really fast and go back in forth a little bit when I go through a book, and the whole visual novel thing makes me feel like I'm being dragged through someone else's brain. Even the 999 series was incredibly frustrating to get through for me.

But I'm pretty ignorant of the genre, so if there's a VN out there with better writing than Haruki Murakami let me know.[/QUOTE]

The only question you need to know with regards to whether to read a visual novel is whether you want to know in graphic detail what sex with the heroine feels like. If no, then move on.

I feel like Grimace is flickering between two realities where he's a normal person who can like a VN and a crazy person who thinks of nothing but depraved fetishes and graphic adjectives in any context involving the letters V and N, and the only difference between the two realities is whether the next VN he plays is age appropriate or Muv Luv/Alternative

I'll just take it that some stories are just not my thing.

Like how some here spoke highly of 999 and it's sequel but to be honest both are just your run of the mill anime storyline, pacing, character development.

^ I've looked at that for like 2 minutes straight and still don't know what that is supposed to mean.

Tokyo Ghoul 3-15

Lot's of stuff about how Ghouls live, a first real fight for Kaneki and our first real antagonists show up. I really hope they got a better motivation for being almost silly evil than just "Ghouls are eeeeevil, JUSTICEEE"

Wonder how far he can take his power. Guess not bringing people back to life far, though.

Tonari no Kashiwagi-san 63

An actual enjoyable chapter, clearing the small amounts of misconceptions around Kou and possibly even advancing the relationship a bit.

Why can't you have good chapters all the time?

Anyone else got tired of the over exaggerated facial expressions of Gyokuen Ren that were repeatedly shown in Magi's recent chapters? The lack of subtlety annoys me.

Sekai Oni ( First Page )


Synopsis:

Currently the most popular manga on Urasunday Magazine, Sekai Oni follows the story of a little girl called Shinonome Azma.

Azma is abused by her family, and that made her quite unstable, to the point were she has been driven to the limit, and now she has the rare syndrome of Alice through the looking glass, that makes her see things that shouldn't be there reflected on mirrors, water, glass, etc. Everything starts when the things she sees start affecting directly the world everyone else sees, and the barrier between reality and illusion breaks apart, like a mirror falling on the floor.

Welcome to the world at the other side of the mirror. Welcome to wonderland.

Mkay, this would be a distressing journey.

Not every VN is erotic y'know. Maybe you should try out the Higurashi and Umineko series.

I require more info, like what yuri manga?

As Vito said, Tamen De Gushi, translated as Their Story.

Wait wait wait, are you applying that to VNs as a whole or just for Fate/Stay Night, because I don't think you can say the same for Higurashi or Saya no Uta.

Like 0.1% of Fate/stay night is sex, but all you hear is mollusk-chat. Just sayin' the same applies to VNs, except its probably not 0.1% of VN's that are porn games.
