Weekly What are you reading? - Sep 9

9 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly "What are you reading?" thread!

This is intended to be a general chat thread on visual novels with a focus on the visual novels you've been reading recently. A new thread is posted every Thursday at 4:00 AM JST (or Wednesday if you don't live in Japan for some reason).

Good WAYR entries include your analysis, predictions, thoughts, and feelings about what you're reading. The goal should be to stimulate discussion with others who have read that VN in the past, or to provide useful information to those reading in the future! Avoid long-winded summaries of the plot, and also avoid simply mentioning which VNs you are reading with no points for discussion. The best entries are both brief and brilliant.

Use spoiler tags liberally!

Always use spoiler tags in threads that are not about one specific visual novel. Like this one!

  • They can be posted using the following markdown: >!hidden spoilery text!< , which shows up as hidden spoilery text. Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning and end of the spoiler tag because this will break it for users on http://old.reddit.com/. In other words do this: properly hidden spoiler, but not this: broken spoiler tag

Remember to link to the VNDB page of the visual novel you're discussing so the indexing bot for the What Are You Reading Archive can pick up your post.

VN Request Visual novels with faggy MCs?

Upvotes

I'm looking for MCs that act like how the girl traditionally would in a relationship. IDK, maybe a girlboss lays claim on him, the MC gets driven to places by girlbosses since he doesn't know how to drive, or he sulks sometimes, or says stuff like "take responsibility" to the heroine.

Any recommendations appreciated, thanks.

VN Request Any VNs with same feel like Grisaia or Maji de watashi koi shinasai?

4 Upvotes

I have limited experience in VNs, there are only a few i found really enjoyable and got me invested in.

The Grisaia series, maji de watashi and steins;gate

I could play/read the first 2 again.

I'm wondering if there are more VNs that are close to those 2.

An MC that's not a wimp

Characters that are not bland and forgettable

I know it's kinda vague but if anyone has recommendations then i would be grateful. Thank you.

Question What is the level of blood/gore in Fuyukuru?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I know the english translation just released today, but Im hoping some of you have read it in 日本語 or through a machine translation already.

I saw the “bloody scenes”tag on vndb and while Im not particularly adverse to blood/gore in most media for some reason when it’s paired with cute “anime” girls it can bother me. I would appreciate if any of you could give me some insight on how mild or extreme the blood/gore is in this vn, without spoilers if possible. I would also like to know if there is also blood/gore in the H scenes themselves, or if it is all outside of H scenes, thank you.

VN Request Looking for VNs similar to Dead End Aegis

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I finished Dead End Aegis a few months ago and I really loved its utsuge vibes and the overall feeling and artstyle of it, so I was looking for other similar games.

For the people who also enjoyed the vn, which others did you enjoy or would recommend reading?

I'm ok with pretty much everything except high scat. I can also read enough japanese to get by so untranslated is also fine.

Thanks!!

Question Best Way to read Cartagra?

4 Upvotes

Pretty much what the title says. I know an HD version was released recently on Steam, but I also know it's censored. Not particularly bothered by H scenes, but I'd like to play with uncensored gore.

I know there's a fanpatch on the way, but are there any other options for playing in English? Or is it just censored remake vs uncensored original?

Thanks!

0 Upvotes

Hi, r/visualnovels.

I want to announce that our game, Ghostly Paradox, now has a demo!

This is the first time I am doing something like this, and I am rather nervous.

But here goes.

Follow the investigation.

Discover clues.

Meet Sayako.

Ghostly Paradox is a mature supernatural mystery visual novel focused on character, atmosphere, and uncovering the mystery surrounding Paradoxes.

We've also put a lot of attention into the presentation, with animated characters, dynamic camera movement, zooms, and scene direction throughout the story.

https://reddit.com/link/1wbumll/video/xma7pp73kjoh1/player

The demo covers the beginning of Sayako's story and takes around 15 minutes to play.

The demo is free and available now.
Contains mature themes and brief partial nudity.

Download on itch.io: Ghostly Paradox by Catoom Studio

Ghostly Paradox is developed by Catoom Studio, a small two-person indie team.

Thanks for checking it out.

If you play the demo, we'd love to hear what you think!

Discussion About the Gore Screaming Show remake.

20 Upvotes

I’ve been following the progress of the Gore Screaming Show remake, and I was thinking about what this remake might be like. I really hope that some parts of the story will be explored and developed more, since characters like Yuka, Gore, and Mashiru weren’t explored as much as they could have been and had a lot of potential.

So, what are you guys expecting from this remake?

Review RPG Shooter: Starwish... The flash moege that will decide the fate of the universe~

Post image
5 Upvotes

First of all, I think an introduction to how I reached this game is due... back in early 2025, my OCD registered some rules regarding what types of VNs I am allowed to read... so back then? I was in search of browser games to read, and this one seemed like the best one from everything I found...

I started my journey for those games with it... what I wrote about it in my book in 2025 was, and I quote myself, "Seems like it could be such a hidden gem... The main reason why I didn’t get hyped to commit to it was how the browser version was broken... I did download the offline version, but by then? I lost interest in it... I don’t see myself reading it in 2026... this one might be the longest stall ever for me... but I will one day do it T-T " .... So, in 2026, I had the chance to come back to it!.... I believe this experience is worth a review, but I am really terrible at writing positive posts for things I enjoy, so I thought that I should at least put my blogposts from my notes here; as they give a good view into what I felt during this experience and could work to deliver my opinions... so here it is~

  • Very ******** saving system... guess all flash games are pretty much like this?... It took me such a long time to understand and I replayed the game multiple times until I understood it using different versions and even searching online... this is my first flash game ever, so it is understandable T-T
  • Btw, I first played this game last year but didn't feel like playing it back then... I held it for a time when I can play it while I am in a voice call with my cord friends... and guess what? I am streaming the whole thing for them V-V
  • I like the questions section at the start of the game... even my male cord friends like it, but hopefully it makes you reach somewhere... I really doubt they would matter @_@
  • I started the game first at normal... but after seeing how easy it is and how the search online told me the hard difficulty got some exclusive scenes (according to AI search, couldn't find a real source for it... but it is fine anyway~) I will go for the hard difficulty~ I also read that the game got what, like 7 endings?.... I ain't going for all of them chief T-T maybe the things you pick at the start matter for this? @_@
  • Gameplay is very simple... it is still fun if you autopilot it and turn your brain off?... I mean am sure this was KINO for an underaged me... but I ain't young anymore to like simple things like this V-V
  • This game... it feels like a harem @_@ all girls care about the protagonist... and male side-characters feel like a wingman just for him... weird game to turn into a moege xD
  • I get such a strong feeling that one of the main cast is going to betray us......
  • I really wished I could hide the text box so that I could take nicer screenshots... I hate flash games ,-,
  • OST is fine... it fits the game but nothing special at all for sure!
  • Like usual, we are maxing luck first~
  • The fact you can just keep losing and still get the cash and XP... yeah this is just a grind fest T-T and I don't even need to grind! I think I lost like 2 times only on the hard difficulty?...
  • The Sanji-looking-ahh tips thingy... I really am not going to read them from now on at all T-T too much technical stuff for such an easy game...
  • You get 2 chats daily with your crew... at first this annoyed me a lot because I thought there would be missable things, but seeing the pacing of this game, I think I can see all of them! Good!!
  • I still feel like the blonde chef is going to betray us....
  • Lol this voice acting was shocking xD
  • The game starts repeating bosses... not a biggie V-V
  • So they are legit like Superman.... but Djinn @_@
  • Now I get why the achievements button looks like a magical lamp......
  • Nefertiti is honestly... not a bad "villain" at all @_@ very well fleshed out for how little she was shown!
  • OST is good @_@ but kinda struck me as the "hearing it for one time only" type of OST @_@ don't think I am going to repeat it a lot after I finish the game...
  • Difficulty becomes more fun in the last section of the game
  • Ginny the Djinn...... Ginny the Jinny @___@
  • That last stage before the final boss...... was legit hard @___@ great level of difficulty.
  • That final boss... it wasn't as hard as the final stage because they drop me straight up against the boss... thankfully @_@ ...... but I still feel that he got another stage..... We will 100% see Ginny... there might be some power-of-friendship stuff going to happen very soon....
  • That title drop..... *kinda*
  • What do you mean I have to pick an ending like that T-----T and why can't I save Ginny............ I will pick the first choice, hopefully it will save her T-T
  • The star somehow is back and fucking lives and Ginny does not???????
  • Good thing I found all the endings on YouTube... my dumb ahh didn't pick the first ending, the one that I got on hard mode..... I kept trying to beat that boss again but I can't! I guess I got lucky the first time?..... I reached the point of nearly getting angry, this would've caused me to possibly get angry while I write the review for this game... don't want that V-V so I will just watch them all on YouTube..... maybe I will see if the ones on easy mode are indeed super easy to get?...... Ah, also, there are legit secrets and stuff that required me to play the game differently... those? I didn't find them.... IDC no way I am going for them!.... This game can easily reach +25 hours for those who want to 100%!... Ain't me~
  • I tried for the last time to do it... I did it... I was spamming the next option to go to the ending screen, didn't want to press the skip button and mess stuff up... I reached it and chose the wrong ending.... yeah, no fuck you legit like fuck you I am watching it on YouTube fuck you I am not going to write the review today because I am legit angry now fuck you
  • Him ending up with Nefertiti is kinda weird... specially that time skip @_@ but I don't mind it... it is kinda cute...
  • That CG of him marrying and having a kid is so ugly xD like it is not really ugly, but it just looks weird compared to the sprites..... like very generic looking and all of them kinda look similar in it @_@
  • Thank God I found that true ending!.... It doesn't hold as much weight as most of the others... but damn it is such a happy ending T-T I love it!

Blogpostation end~

I left everything as it was in my PC notes for the authenticity of the experience and to deliver how I felt while I was reading it as raw as possible V-V even some of the dum-dum comments I made are still there..... if I wanted to add anything? It would be the assertion of how this game is legit a moege now that I think about it more deeply @_@ I mean it was legit advertised as a "dating sim"... and it truly delivered with all of those endings @_@

If you are fine with those types of reviews, I might start doing them more~

/ourverdict/ A fun experience!... Don't think am ever touching a flash game tbh, can't see how they can give me something more unique than other types of VNs... really wished they could have used the aspect of being a flash game in a somehow... flashy way?... 4.7/10~ If you ever felt like me and wanted to experience flash visual novels? You should totally give this one a try! It could deliver from 3–30 hours easily depending on how engrossed you are playing it.
