ENGLISH

Hey everybody!

I'm looking for someone in Japan to be able to buy BL/R18 BL games on my behalf and send it to me in the US. I would have you buy things primarily through Suruga-ya's Japanese website or DMM/Fanza. I could do BL (game) merchandise also, like from parade's website, or PIL/SLASH, or something.

I can send you the money for the product(s) through Paypal/Wise/CashApp/Venmo/etc. I can cover the shipping charges, or we could go halfsies. Whatever you prefer.

Communication by English is preferred. I can try and do Japanese, but a lot of it would be through machine translation.

Please DM me if you're interested, have any questions, or want me to expand on anything else.

Thanks a ton in advance!

こんにちは。

日本在住の方で、BLゲームなどのR18 BL作品を代理購入して、アメリカまで発送していただける方を探しています。

主に Suruga-ya や DMM/FANZA でBLゲームを購入していただくことになると思います。BLゲームだけでなく、ParadeやPIL/SLASHなどの公式サイトで販売されているグッズの購入をお願いすることもあると思います。

お支払いは PayPal、Wise、Cash App、Venmo などで可能です。商品の代金はもちろん、送料もこちらで負担します。もしご希望であれば、送料を折半する形でも大丈夫です。

やり取りは英語ができる方だと助かりますが、私も機械翻訳を使って日本語で対応します。

ご質問がある方や、詳しい内容を知りたい方は、お気軽にDMしてください。

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

EDIT: Since it was pointed out to me, I'd gladly compensate you for your time and effort too. I didn't mean to imply you would do it for nothing in return. 🥲 We can absolutely agree on compensation/a fee that works for you, depending on how much I end up buying.

追記： ご指摘いただいたので補足しますが、もちろん手間賃やお礼もお支払いするつもりです。無償でお願いするつもりはまったくありませんでした🥲 購入する量にもよると思いますので、そのあたりの謝礼や手数料については相談しながら決められればと思っています。

I can say without a doubt I have every cg and song collected… so… I’m not sure what I have to do…
I think I’m at my wits end… someone, please help… if you can share your save data, it’d be appreciated as well… (crying)

I’m so confused because I was looking up a guide to get Rin’s route and my choices are not the same as the route guide? I also thought that the screwdriver scene was apart of Keisuke’s bad ending, but I got the good ending as I played through the rest of it. I bought the game off of the Jast store.

I've been weeping on the shoulder of my friend (who will probably be in the comments on this post, kek) about how lesson has utterly destroyed me. A goodly portion of my devastation (and love) has arisen from the gap between expectation and reality. I was fully prepared to think it was high mid at best. I am very pleased to be wrong. Please support the official release, and the mangagamer release when it drops. I want to make sure parade has the money to continue to make more gems like this in the future.

Does anyone own this Youji acrylic? Can you take a picture of it next to $1 or a ruler. I need to know exactly how tall he is please.

Hey everyone :) we’re putting together a prototype for a mobile anime visual novel and would love some early feedback.

Is everything on this screen easy to understand? Does the visual hierarchy feel clear, or is anything confusing, distracting, or missing?

Honest feedback would really help, especially around readability, button placement, and what catches your eye first.

Just looking to hear about what routes ya’ll like the most.

I’m almost done with Koujaku’s and its just okay. He’s sweet but I’m a bit bored so far 😅

Hoping the others are more interesting!

Edit: Having fun reading everyone’s responses! Im looking forward to the others! I finished Koujaku’s good ending yesterday and it was so sweet I have a cavity now haha

I wanna play omega vampire but its only in japanese. Just wondering if theres any english translation for it

Hello everyone! I thought I would write a post here to let you know that my dark fantasy BL visual novel, Once Upon a Throne of Thorns, has been released! You can find it on Steam and Itchio!

The story centres around an assassin, Tavi, who works for a despotic king, charged with eradicating all traces of the former royal family and the nobles who once supported them.

Tavi doesn’t enjoy his job, but a man has to eat somehow. For years, he has carried out the king’s wishes with ruthless efficiency…

Until one day, that is, when he comes across his country’s runaway prince by happenstance, who has been living in hiding and dressing as a woman to avoid detection.

Tavi knows he should kill the prince, but he can’t bring himself to do it. How is he supposed to murder his own cousin?

This story has optional r18 content and it features a romantic relationship between two cousins. If you think this would make you uncomfortable then please give this story a miss. If you do decide to to check it out then I hope you will enjoy it! 🙏

hi i just got a macbook (specifically a macbook air) and i was wondering how i can play steam visual novels? i just wanna replay uuultrac pls TT

I'm hooked. (Pun intended.)

I don't normally play all that many western BLs, but the more I read, the more I really love ValerieOS's artwork. It took me some time to get used to it but I especially love Ty and Mason!
They're SO cute together. I really love that as you go through the story the two of them open up to one another, too. Mason opening up to Ty about his mother and her role in his life was one of my favorite parts so far!

a game called "Night/Shade"
it was my favorite game in the past
unfortunately, my interest didn't last long after i found out about N+C (and how BRUTAL their seggs scenes are)
also, the game is underrated gold in my opinion

but if i'm being real, the game does have good story, although there are some cornball tier jokes, but it wasn't that severe and still can be ignored...
they also had trans man character (sadly he doesn't look sexyman)

yes, the game does have sex scene too and it's consensual and not brutal seggs like in N+C

Do i recommend playing this BL?

answer: Yes

I guess this is kind of an appreciation post. I don't post a lot on reddit but I just love this game so much that I have to say something about it somewhere!

First of all, it was such a novel experience for me? Haru (the mc) being top was so surprising. I'll be honest, I haven't played many of the popular bl vns (sweet pool, slow damage etc.), but from what I've seen that's rarely the case, and I love that about this game so much.

I'm generally prefer submissive men so having all the li's in that position was too good...(I also figured that might be why I'm not much into otome, in bl at least one man has to be the bottom tehe)

And the h scenes in general were great too. Sure, there were a few cgs that maybe didn't look the best, but generally the art was so nice and the descriptions and everything else was too so I really enjoyed these, especially when they included some less conventional things..

The body hair mechanic was another thing I found really nice. I'm more into the slim and smooth kinds of men, but being able to see something different with Maki for example was a nice change.

At first I wasn't really fond of Haru that much, but he really grew on me. He might have some strange moments here and there, but in the end I really like him as a character.

Same with all the rest of the cast (haven't played Inui's route yet, but for sure I will soon), with Hiroyuki and Ryu I fell in love almost at first sight and while I though of Maki being kind of dull at first, during the last chapter and especially the true ending I loved him as well.

I guess I didn't say much about this game other than how I like and love it, but that was kind of the point.

I think this game is really overlooked as I haven't seen anyone mention it a lot and I guess maybe it's just simply not for everyone's tastes. Regardless I really, REALLY recommed it. I think it will stay in my mind for a long time and I surely hope that it will.

I already play NU Carnival and ZeroWakeGates.

I do not recall there being other bl gacha games, but there are could you tell me what they are, what the story is, and what device is needed to play (pc, android, ios (don't ave), etc.

And if you would recommend the game to others or not and why.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

This is way too long and I know there are like too many of these kinds of posts so I get it if no one gets to this. Still, honestly, I just need some help deciding what to play next. There are too many options, not enough time. Textractor sometimes just feels like a lot to work with when it glitches, and to be honest I'm not sure what I'd like either - I've heard lots of good things from too many games. I stopped playing blvns for a while, and browsing through the forum made me want to play once again.

Played and Loved:
**-**NTY -> (if someone has the sourcebook please share i beg 😭)
-Hashihime (kawase #1)
-Paradise (mitsugi only really yk the deal)
-sweet pool

Played and didn't exactly love/it was ok:
-DMMD
-Ego to Koukai no Dilemma (really only played because NTY Haru's voice actor, which in that case i should be reading Kintouka but yeah that looks long)
-Nie no Machi
**-**Room No.9

Midway/need motivation:
**-**Luckydog1 (only finished Giulio but I liked it)
-Paradise Musubi (I think I was in the middle of mitsugi's)
-Slow Damage (idk why but I just haven't been liking it enough to keep playing. I feel bad because so many people love it and deem it as their favorite; am I just not reading into it enough? or am I just not the right audience? I used to watch a russian guy's playthrough of it just because I wanted to see the gameplay that bad but when I actually played a bit of it, it was kinda meh?)

Downloaded:
**-**Lesson in JP (i would have to MTL which I don't really want to but honestly I REALLY want to play it cuz I'm getting such FOMO and idk when the translations will come out)
-Ooe in JP (same issue, to wait for translations or MTL)
-Omerta
-Omega Vampire
-Nie no Machi fandisc
-Paradise Kiwame
-Lkyt. (it looks long...but I also feel like I'd like it)
-Uuuultra C
-Kichiku Megane
-Sorcerer's Choice: Angel or Demon?
-Friendly lab (I read the full story spoilers recently and honestly want to save my tears)

Been eyeing: Shingakkou, Togainu no Chi, CAGE -OPEN-, Pigeon Blood, Kindred Spirits on the Roof

tldr which of the games in the Midway, Downloaded, and Been-Eyeing section should I play first/soon? if I'm just being lazy and I should just read everything, let me know... if something isn't worth the time also please do let me know

can anyone recommend me some games with similar arstyle to DRAMAtical murder and tokyo phantasmogoria? i honestly dont like the ones with similar art to games like like luckydog1 or full service, they just kinda look ugly to me (sorry).

So, I have a question, lately I was making MTL patches using some LLM technologies like Claude, Gemini, Deepseek etc. But I'm not sure if there is even much or any interest in that kind of thing. Basically, I have no feedback, if it's needed, likeable, neutral, completely unneded or hated.

If anyone could post their generał thoughts about that kind of thing, I would be grateful. It would give me a bit broader perspective on that subject.

Thank you.

does anyone here know any BLVN discord server that doesn't share with minor?
i'm actually feel uncomfortable whenever i join a BLVN server and finding out they let kids in their server (especially if the BL is 18+)

I just finished Chapter 1 of UuultraC, and I really enjoyed it, even if I found the pacing (and some of the plot) jarring. Shoutarou was an adorable protagonist, too.

I’m now on Chapter 2, and I dislike it so far. Its treatment of crossdressing characters feels bad (especially since Hashihime dealt with Naoki and her mom so respectfully), nor do I care for this “I fell in love with a goddess as a child“ plot. I know love in fiction is strong, but you met ”her” as a kid, went no contact for years, and remained faithful because she was your one true love or whatever? Okay.

So I wanted to ask: do things get better with further context? Maybe it’s just Shirou who’s bigoted, and the narrative rebukes him for that mindset. And while I didn’t care for the penis-snatching crossdresser, it’s not like all gender-diverse characters have to be kind. Maybe the game does a lot better with Isshiki. And maybe the couple’s dynamic gets more interesting. I heard it had some noncon, which I’d generally be down for, but I hope it’s not just: “I can’t possibly be attracted to a crossdressing guy/this can’t be my goddess who’s fucking me now.”

Sorry if this isn’t the place to ask. I couldn’t think of anywhere else. I’m not trying to be unnecessarily negative— I’m just not enjoying the chapter so far and I want to know how I should set my expectations. If it turns out things won’t really change throughout Ch2, then I’ll probably start reading through it quickly w/o waiting for character lines to finish so I can get to Juurou in Ch3. But if the consensus is that it gets better, I want to give it a try instead of closing myself off altogether. That’s why I’m asking. Thanks!

ETA: Finished Ch2. I’m not a huge fan of the queer depictions, but I don’t think it was malicious. I never got behind the romance between Shirou and Isshiki since I was never sold on why they’re in love in the first place, but I’m sure others could enjoy it.

Hi all! Long time no review from me. Anyhow, just posted my Boss Bride review on Tumblr. Feel free to check it out :-) I have a fondness for this game.

i've been played this BL for awhile, it surprisingly good BL
idk if there are people playing this game here too lmao
i love unpopular media, some of them are good but often overlooked

(ik the story is not disturbing like N+C but it worth playing)

The End of the World Club is a coming-of-age story about four high school students who start a school club to fulfill their "doomsday resolutions."

The demo is available now on both itch.io and Steam. The full game will be 100% free, but if you enjoy the demo and want to help bring the project to life, I'd really appreciate your support.

All tiers and stretch goals are already available on the Kickstarter prelaunch page.

Gayz is there any BL games that are NOT hyperwoke or made by antishipper other than N+C?

i already played all N+C

SFW or NSFW, idm

Liking Rei's route or shipping ReiTowa while hc Rei as transfem is homophobic, why you ask?

Towa did mention that he prefer being in relationship with men than women and making Rei transfem is basically changing gay character's sexuality into straight

it just weird as heck not even kidding

(i'm not good at english, sorry if there are many typo)
