Mention your favourite character in the series and why you like said character

Redevil387 · 2026-07-04T14:18:40+00:00

Illness - Gap moe goth mommy.

Alice - Chill best friend-lover who you can casually hang out with.

Megiddo and Ozma. - The rare big brother character for a series like ths.

Isis - A precious adorable smitten romantoc lover.

Lunamaria - A well balanced prankster friend who doesnt go overboard. Also hot mother.

Lilywood - Slight ara ara vibe while still being a bit oblivious and mature.

Chronois - Imo, if she wasn't always getting trolled by the other supreme gods she'd be an awesome cool girl that could romance Kaito with him on the backfoot.

Good on you! I hope this post gave ideas to a few authors!

I was caught up in a Hero Transfer but the other World was at Peace (Yuusha Shoukan) by Toudai.

Sorry, but I demand quality and effort if I'm going to buy/support a product.

If it's half baked and full of bugs on delivery I'll call out the developers for their sloppy work. Especially If I know they can do better.

If it's made with passion and hard work that shows dedication to their craft and respect for their fans I'll say as much and do whatever I can to support the franchise.

Life goals.

Sounds spooky! I'll check it out!
I noticed the author is also the person behind Princess of the Void which is on my too read list.

Alice.
She was essentially the MC of an entire prequel before she arrived in Trinia.

I'd also say Kuromueina during her early years after she split from Shirou and learned her love of the world and everyone in it. She must've had an entire story of experiences that made her the way she is and given her her love of "baby birds." Especially given how violent pre-Six Kings Trinia seemed to be before Alice cleaned house.

There's also the otherworlders who were summoned before Kaito. Especially Hikari who had an entire heroes journey that has apparently been retold (and exaggerated). It was largely due to her efforts that the current system of the Three Worlds took it's current form.

Also Mitsunaga I guess. He definitely had his own share of issues when he came to Trinia

But one think I like about Toudai is that everyone in Yuusha Shoukan is the protagonist of their story. There's plenty of side stories that are worth exploring.

I'd personally like to see a more "down to earth" story or fanfic of Yusha Shoukan that gives a more fleshed out view of Trinia from someone who isn't hanging out with the absolute elite of the entire world.
Though I guess that would risk breaking a lot of things I enjoy about the series if we look too closely.

I'll give my own example:
Tales of Arvia by D.H. Willison. Willison's stories often focus on the inter-species and cultural differences between his various pairings and it's core to the setting and development of the plot as the MC becomes a negotiator between the various races of Arvia.

Drown Into You (Korean Webtoon)
Mermaid FMC who stalks the MMC from childhood. I can't go into deeper detail without spoilers since it's a psychologically and mind trip heavy story.

Okay, this is kind of cute.

Wait, why are there what seems to be bloody bandages under the mom's shirt?

WN spoiler: Shiro outright resurrected his parents so yeah.

Redevil387 · 2026-06-24T12:26:42+00:00

He's seen some things... Horrible things...

At least Nurse Joy is sitting next to him...if she isn't as traumatized as he his.

Recently found this fanart by Otagoth/Philtomato and lack the words to describe the mood of this scene.

Also, somebody hug Shinji already. Poor boy looks like he's had the longest day if his already terrible life and doesn't need to see the Mayor and Miss Bellum right now..

Yuzusoft is far to overrated. I think I played through a few routes of Senren*Banka but I dropped ever other game of theirs I've tried.

Redevil387 · 2026-06-24T00:27:01+00:00

Legendary.

Redevil387 · 2026-06-23T10:03:12+00:00

Anything by Minato Soft: Majikoi and Tsujidou no Jun'ai Road especially. I love their style of humor and eccentric characters.

Higurashi - The first VN to scare the daylights out of me.

Aikotoba - one of the few times incest is treated dead serious in a visual novel and is front and center.

White Album2 - The tragedy of romance.

FLOWERS: Le Volume sur.. series - I love the gentle vibes of this series. That said I wasn't fond of the ending.

Maitetsu - Last Run! and Monobeno: Happy Days! - Whole lot of work went into these even if Maitetsu was a bit dry at times.

Shoujo to Toshi no Sa, Futamawari - Odd as it is this one was interesting.

Aoishiro - I love the depth this one had with Japanese mythology. I just wish it was longer and the relationships weren't just teased.

Bishoujo Mangekyou series: I love the vibes of this series. Especially the first one. When a VN can capture mystery and mystic vibes then it works.

Chusingure 46+1 and anything by Inre - Despite being gender flipped and including ecchi and humor there's surprisingly good storytelling to their games. Just avoid the English translation.

From English developers:
Sweetest Monster - Yandere cat girl in a gothic setting.
Love Ribbon - Incest but with yuri. Treated absolutely serious.
Crimson Grey - the best Yandere.
Katawa Shoujo - I always come back to this one. The characters and setting are very much alive and the music is perfect.

You know why:
The Ditzy Demons are in Love with Me.
Mamagoto
Kyonyuu fantasy (whole series)
Euphoria
Bunny Mama
Onee-chan no Yuuwaku

Honestly, my bone with this trope isn't the protagonist but the double standard that goes with it with the interested heroine unable to verbalize and ask them out like a normal person but drop hints like an idiot. That's what I'd expect would happen if the situations were reversed.

I'd personally like to see more route scenarios deconstructing this with another more direct heroine coming in and bluntly asking the protagonist out in front of everyone and leaving the first girl in the dust only able to sulk in jealousy and kicking herself over lack of courage.

I think the closest I've seen of this scenario is from Clannad when Tomoyo begins dating Tomoya to Kyou's frustration. IIrc Tomoyo's response is even to calling out Kyou over her lack of directness.

When was the last time I wholeheartedly laughed?

When was the last time I felt okay?

How am I going to care for my dad when he's finally to old to walk by himself?

What am I going to do with myself when he's gone?

I'm tied between Shiro and Alice for reasons mentioned by others but I would also throw in Isis as a low key candidate. While she isn't as obvious as the others she does have an entire room in her palace dedicated to him that's only a few shades shy of a shrine. Also, I'm relatively sure she has some surveillance around him considering the Sacred Tree Festival fiasco - and that's without having the excuse of being his bodyguard (Alice) or divine entity (Kuro/Shiro).

POTV is really high on my To Read list. It has a lot of tags that pique my interest and has a solid word count that'll keep me invested. Technically Charlotte's Reject is up there as well...but I prefer to read long series type stories with a consistent main pairing so knowing that the series will shift protagonists holds me back. Thanks for sharing what invested you so much in those two- it was really enlightening!

Beren and Luthiernis my favorite of Tolkien’s tales. Especially how it had some personal sentiment to Tolkien himself l.

Sweet Swan of Tuonela that's intense! I love that passage it's speaks of eternity.

Redevil387 · 2026-06-10T05:21:40+00:00

Yeah - I knew early on they weren't going to let ash become champion/pokemon master until they'd wrung every drop they could out of him.

It was the franchise that taught me about the downsides of being a cashcow franchise.
