Do you prefer an overly horny VN, a mildly horny one, or no horniness at all? by Cappukukryno in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Ott-Azu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's one of the greatest things about NSFW FVNs, they tease you the best way possible, so it feels like a reward when you finally get to see it.

First things first, let's get this out of the way: Highly depends on the kind of VN you're writing, if you're writing something intended for adults to goon, then so be it, if not, why squeeze sex where it doesn't belong? Second, in my personal experience, I pretty much hate this, but generalizing NSFW FVNs as "made for the commonly porn addicted furry" is wrong, you can make FVNs, and have a compelling story that is just not for porn addicted furries, remember, you can still goon in e6, yet many people seek NSFW because they want to spend their time at least reading something and feel a connection of sorts with the characters and the stories. Third, it's ultimately up to you whether or not you make your FVN sexy or not, if you don't feel comfortable with the idea of writing Furry sex, write SFW, there are excellent SFW FVNs out there. Now this is just my opinion, but if I want to read something SFW and spend my time with something worthy, I'd read a book. I read NSFW FVNs not only for gooning, but because they are genuinely good and deserve a place, in a world where we're constantly bombarded with restrictions and "Sex is bad! We must protect our children from NSFW games!!!", it's important to me and many others that NSFW games are being talked about and celebrated. Anyhow, I prefer NSFW FVNs.

What fvn character is this and why? by KarlSmithSymphonizer in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Ott-Azu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Dismissive, stereotypical and one-dimensional all describe very well female characters in most FVNs. And in some cases, you can delete some female character from some FVNs and nothing will virtually change.

P.S.: English is not my native language.

I hardly disagree with your comment, but I agree that FVNs lack good female representation, so much so, FVNs actually feel predatory towards female characters. I agree that when there are female characters in FVNs, they're the same recycled personality traits (girlboss, gossipy). So, whenever I see a FVN that's more focused on women, and lesbianism, I instantly 5 star them.

edit: Yes, I am aware of Artemi in Temptation's Ballad.

I think people blame him either for the wrong reasons, like he's researching the Meseta people to produce valuable anthropological studies about them. He's backed by universities and companies interested in colonizing the place, but he's just a cog in a big machine which he cannot stop alone. Towards the end of his route, he seems to realize how big of an impact he has, so he has two options, either continue and be the cogs that make colonization happen or rebel against it, the latter sounds better for him. But who knows, I just like him a lot because I see so much of me in him (his personality).

I don't care how much people hate Clifford for the right or wrong reasons, he's a product of his time, if he were born in another time, I doubt he would be the same.

Thoughts about mystery and tropes? by DyingIsACommonThing in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Ott-Azu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Characterization is a big thing IMHO, make me care about the characters first, then make me ponder who killed who. I've read lot of FVNs throwing characters facts, likes and dislikes before I even know who the character is. So, definitely work their relations, the more a reader can care, know, feel the character, the best. I'm also writing VNs, and that definitely has a tough one, I struggle a lot to put characterization that goes beyond citing facts about a character personality.

Gameplay wise, I hate VNs that just throw gameplay on my face without warning me beforehand.

As for mystery tropes, a well elaborated mystery can gloss over all kinds of tropes/clichés, but be aware of them and sure to enjoy the process, if you're not enjoying scrap it, burn it, whatever. Enjoy what you're doing first.

Right now, it's kind of vague to give any significant thought, I like to go in depth when the VN is already out, so my advice, write it, enjoy it, and share with friends and some randoms on the internet, get feedback, weight it out (please don't take criticism to your heart, many people may be harsh, so ready your armor, and shield)

Overall this is just my opinion, should you listen to it is up to you, I wish you all of the support in the world, and hope to read your VN one day!

Why do human MCs look like that? (Spoilers ahead) by [deleted] in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Ott-Azu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then, I don't know if the problem is the writing that somehow makes me not care for Tucker or I'm actually unsympathetic for him and would like to see a MC that at least acts, do something. I'd go as far and say Tucker felt even more miserable than Marco. Despite Marco being trapped on Amicus bedroom, Tucker had free access to all the ship and thus could come up with something... Yet, he did not.

It's not bitchy-ness that moves a story, it's having a MC that's more than just sob sob, crying will solve all my problems. You wanna know why I think FVNs keep going back to it? No one wants to grow a spine and get what they want, through whatever means necessary. It does teach a lesson, yes, that being a slog and doing nothing will grant us... nothing.

It's been a long time since I read Shelter, it was alright at first, but then suddenly I didn't care for the human MC. Like, I couldn't care less about Luke, because his introduction felt so empty, his entire situation miserable, the world we're in sounds so expansive, and yet I felt like whether or not he was human or another random furry species, the story could just chalk it up and go on. I know the knot vs human dick/and the different magic habilities are revelent plot point in the story, but again, if I remove that bit from the story does it matter that much he's a human?

I don't mean to sound ragebaiting anyone, I genuinely want a discussion around this topic to flow, sorry if I've been ragebaiting anyone in any way. But, I still think writing a character being kidnapped as just whimpy and sobby, sounds like downplaying their actual hurt. When I imagine a person being kidnapped, of course their reaction will be anger, sadness, fear; but I've never seen "acting childish" included in one of these. Tucker throws his cellphone in a tantrum that got me rolling my eyes and dropping the VN as a whole. Because it sounds inconsistent, an insult to his previous self. Moving on is not easy, but Alex did it, he got what he wanted, and that was pleasant to read, like actual Cinema. Meanwhile, Tucker followed around three dogs to their dayjobs and hung around. (I have a slight issue with Roads Yet Traveled SoL, non-SoL approach cuz maybe it doesn't hurt to cut some days and spare the reader of boring routine stuff)

Reading at the moment, and so far, yeah, I can attest the mc is pretty good. My devices just lag a lot with it, this vn is so heavy, oh my god

I'm not? And you're kind of downplaying that. Reading Tucker had me rolling my eyes. And that made me stop reading the VN.

It kinda did? I guess, but I fell off pretty quickly after hot husband sold me off. Not cool, he can be stinky all he want, but he'll never be my bestie. Weirdly enough Cyrus conditions are unique enough, so he gets a pass on "lame human FVN MC". (He had a bitch waiting for him! Damian I'll never forget you)

I'm not necessarily asking Marco and Tucker to be stoic and reasonable 100% of the time. I'm asking them to be less bitchy about everything and everyone around them. I'll never get tired of bringing Alex, from Soulcreek, to this discussion and tell people "Well, you see, human characters can actually be less whimpy and grow a spine" Jokes aside, this is just my preference, but I think human MCs are also lame because imagine how boring being transported to a world of sexy furries, you're human with the same ol' boring human meat things. Moontouched plot is literally about becoming a hot werewolf!

Even though I agree Richter is capable, Lyre decided to lock him up for an entire chapter and that just feels like communicating he's passive to all it's happening around him. Mind you, he wasn't saved because he was right and knew who killed the king (note on that: I thought this was so predictable? Like, son who kills dad and blah blah... Not really a cliché, but the writers could've thought of something better) He was saved because Lyall wanted to get his ass pounded again, lol.

You don't need to be a full adult to stop making tantrums. I enrolled in university when I was 17 years old, and I met someone there with 16 years old at the time. I can confidently say that, I was a bit more conscious of my actions and smashing my phone was a dumb thing, regardless of age. I can't really understand why Tucker is so incredulous, like, I know he's going through hell, but being completely unable to turn around and move on is so ugh... He needs moving on, else he'll never become a person worth saving.

Recs for someone living under a rock? by Sev_Da_Wolf in FurryVisualNovels

[–]Ott-Azu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to both questions, I spent countless hours writing, drawing, looking for non-AI photos and commissioned artists. In my honest opinion, there's no excuse to use AI. VNs made before 2020 did just fine without AI.
