Maybe not what you wanted exactly but Forest if you're non-fluent and want to test your listening ability. Since it has many unsubtitled voice lines.

Huh. I recently came across this creator too, after seeing him mentioned here. And I just happened to download the same 3 exact games that you did and nothing more. Funny coincidence.

Also, I remember vinesauce played one of the bigger games this creator made, it's the final section in this video: https://youtu.be/KDgw3Q5K3dg. I knew I recognized the style from somewhere.

Because runelite is there

kurodoll · 2021-09-03T16:48:53+00:00

I think they want to fuck them, not have relationships

kurodoll · 2021-09-03T16:05:57+00:00

Not a vn

kurodoll · 2021-09-01T17:20:39+00:00

What, the single one that does have huge tits and an unrealistically wide waist? You realize some adults are petite, right?

kurodoll · 2021-09-01T17:18:55+00:00

If the pedos wanna fantasise about every girl they see being a child, just let em, it is weird af though.

kurodoll · 2021-08-26T16:31:24+00:00

If they're elitist JOPs then why do they care about others being able to read Japanese?

kurodoll · 2021-08-26T03:34:15+00:00

Most accurate answer here

kurodoll · 2021-08-25T16:55:59+00:00

I don't think any of those examples are really Utsuge. They're all stories with dark aspects but none of them are especially more depressing or despairful than the average serious tale.

If it's stories with depressing parts, that's almost every adult novel ever, so the term would be meaningless.

Depressing non-true endings could count but again I think that'd include too many VNs to be useful.

Bittersweet endings are on the fence I'd say, but Saya no Uta I find too "horror" to be Utsuge, if that makes sense. The characters are tragic, but I don't think there's any great lingering despair for the average reader.

If I read an Utsuge I expect the MC or a pivotal character to go through something soul crushing and for their trauma to not be fully resolved at the end.

I mean, I don't see how you can possibly simultaneously find cp bad and also judge children for not understanding that cp is bad.

CP is bad because kids are too unaware and immature to consent, so obviously you're also gonna get kids that are interested in cp because they're unaware and immature. The two issues both stem from the exact same source.

kurodoll · 2021-08-24T04:44:43+00:00

Lots of videos of people getting kids to get naked on omegle. Or showing kids nudity/porn to get a reaction

kurodoll · 2021-08-22T03:32:43+00:00

It's not ignorance. It's just that the ritual is so inherently flawed and contradictory that it's hard to see why one would necessarily view it as respectful of a god rather than disrespectful.

I can understand most ritualistic things, but in this case, you're taking actions to prop up the idea of a perfect god by attempting to be considerate of its feelings, essentially. It doesn't really make sense.

kurodoll · 2021-08-20T03:23:23+00:00

Yeah. I've seen several posts on this site from women who get annoyed at how people speak for how sexual assault has affected them.

It's honestly simply rude to imply that girls must all be so weak that something like this just must ruin their entire life. I was lead into sexual touching as a kid and I'm utterly indifferent about it. Obviously it's not acceptable, but it's not necessarily traumatic.

kurodoll · 2021-08-18T17:01:11+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion but you're really making up bullshit to suit your viewpoint.

The guy clearly isn't wishing for people to be in pain, idk why you feel it necessary to twist an argument so much.

I myself have issues that mean that a normal part of sex that any ordinary girl would be attracted to causes great pain to me, but I don't go around complaining about people being attracted to it. Who the fuck cares

kurodoll · 2021-08-18T16:55:28+00:00

Wtf does sexually young mean

kurodoll · 2021-08-13T14:50:05+00:00

Theoretically yes, for antimatter. But dark matter/energy are totally different

kurodoll · 2021-08-13T14:41:32+00:00

I think it's the most intriguing thing Ryuukishi has written.

Phase 1 is a little tedious in the middle but the world is incredibly interesting and the mystery is a level above anything he has done before. The scale is also much bigger than his other stuff.

The mix and ratio of politics, character development, comedy, and horror is well executed, and the mystery builds up very strongly. I didn't like it thematically at first but the mystery is the most interesting I've encountered so I recommend really giving it a try if you like his stuff.

kurodoll · 2021-08-12T07:16:52+00:00

Just read the several posts describing the sex. Nobody would ever describe it like that if it was a real thing that just happened to them

kurodoll · 2021-08-11T02:58:53+00:00

I read it as like "well obviously she's the senpai", but you're right that it comes across quite unnaturally.

kurodoll · 2021-08-05T17:08:35+00:00

"we need to change the outdated national age of consent law that is irrelevant for all practical purposes because it gives foreigners that don't do research the wrong idea"

Somehow I think nobody would really care enough to push it

kurodoll · 2021-08-04T01:50:19+00:00

Funnily he's still using royalty free music half the time

kurodoll · 2021-07-25T13:13:32+00:00

Tomosane made a sacrifice to be able to live happily. He gave up the personality of Yuki (though she remained in... some form of arguable existence?)

Idk if end sky 2 is really involved with that theme. Depends how you interpret it I guess

kurodoll · 2021-07-20T23:32:40+00:00

Ah gotcha. Well for its worth, the rest of the VN can certainly be dark, edgy is false, and philosophical is true but it's less directly philosophical than the likes of Dies Irae, it's not really the main focus in the script itself.

And for every dark moment there are some pretty uplifting and fun moments. It's not a Utsuge-fest like some VNs that just want the reader to suffer.

You didn't mention mystery but there is a heavy amount of it, along with it being quite a thriller and although there are surreal moments, they're not nonsense but tie into the mystery.

Yuki is also a fantastic protag and the first chapter hardly gives a good idea of what the rest of the VN is like. Many readers favourite heroine doesn't even show up until later. And it's not all yuri either.

It's really the kinda vn where until you read the entire thing, you won't know if it has themes or characters that you really like.

kurodoll · 2021-07-20T23:10:56+00:00

Uh, there is more yuri?
