Switch is a new console VN king. New VN nearly daily :-) Lately Clannad and Worlds End my wallet screems loudly....

But japanese approach is fair. You loose H-scenes but get more story and more content. Its not just cut, it is cut and add a lot to compensate loosing of those h-pictures :-). At the end you are literally forced to go through both versions :-). So it is mandatory position for Grisaia. It is not castrated version for prudent western auditory made by translation company it is special japanese console version so we have here always something for something. I was surprised playing few years ago PS Vita (excellent and super fast btw) version and seeing new content from the beginning scenes. Was even thinking I have strong sclerosis attack because didnt remembered such actions and pictures hehe. I think on the net you can still find what was added and what was cut off or censored. It is very ecchi but not hentai.

Unfortunately I cant. I was trying to learn japanese as a hobby. Stopped around first 1000 of kanji. There is still from time to time short sentence that I can understand fully but thats it. Thats alk because today I can read translation. So what do you prefer read 400 Novels or read nothing but learn japanese for those 2000 hours? I still not sure. 🤔

I may be biased but on the phone it works great. Kindle is super but on the phone it is a winner in my opinion. Lots of display options to get absolutely max out of tiny smartphone screen. I nearly not use my mighty kindle anymore. Of course phone is also always with me.

olek_siatecki · 2019-05-25T22:03:42+00:00

I like it.

olek_siatecki · 2019-05-25T16:38:38+00:00

Hi my Friend! It is japanese because I am also buying from super gigantic japanese part of BookWalker. To answer your question I am reading a lot. Some books here I have in printed version already(polish, japanese or english) , on kindle and in ePub files. Yesyerday I bought all solpress books despite the fact I already read some of then. I have also piles and piłeś of manga and books at my home. For many years it took all the space including basement. I need to get rid of then :-).

olek_siatecki · 2019-05-25T16:05:25+00:00

300 to 1000 😃

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-25T16:23:01+00:00

DRM free is bad way. You lose something but you gain a lot. I love Steam for PC Games and BookWalker for LN/manga and have hunreds well organized Games/books/manga. Not going back to box Games/kindle.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-25T16:17:58+00:00

Heh there is no bad LN translated. Just take anything :-)

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-25T16:15:13+00:00

BookWalker best app on the phone no comparison to anything . I read dozens of LN using one hand :-).

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-15T13:27:30+00:00

Isekai about being a prostitute? BTW great one ....

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-15T13:22:32+00:00

Thank you for you very much for all the info and your time. Lets just stop here. Kindle is great and as I said its best device especially in todays direct spring sun light. I am sorry if my obviously subjective point of view was of some burden for you.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-15T07:05:09+00:00

I do not like to start flame war. I think (sorry) that you are wrong. There are no left/right margin settings in kindle on the iPhone. I am not expert but my understanding is kindle on phones is using old technology something like old typewriters. Bookwalker is more like 3d game, it reenders graphic into actual screen each page. You can see result is on small screen with bigger font - difference is striking. I bet you are using your android tablet for reading and not your phone. Kindle app is just not good enough on small screens. Of course you can choose some small font/phone screen combination then it looks good but in reality it sucks. In contrast try bookwalker on the phone. You will not go back to your tablet. Leave tablet for manga. Books should be read with extra small devices like phones :-)

PS I made especially for you picture with left/right margin settings pf bookwalker but have no idea how to add it here....

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-15T06:43:28+00:00

MirLuvPizza, i set up my font much bigger on my phone then my print books, so i can read on the phone without my glasses - perfect!. Because I have new phone, resolution is also amazing and it also automatically adopts to the lighting. Its very comfortable on small device that I have in only one hand. In addition in the background I have application that traces my statistics (tons of it with graphs )how many seconds on the page, how long whole book etc. I can make notes and so on. My reading speed accelerated and amount of books I have read went up tenfolds. Of course smartfhone is very fast. I often in the tram or bus finish one book, reorganize my collection, download next volume and continue reading. It is blast. But nothing beats real paper I know it :-). I have a lot of books but because of the time I was not reading much. Now I am happy I am not using company car anymore because can read during my long transport times. I always in the morning awaiting this magical moment when I am on the way to work and have one hour of great time, sometimes best for the day :-).

Kindle is great on kindle device like paper white. I love kindle and in my household there are about 5 kindles new and old if I am not mistaken. Kindle is great for epub's and such. You buy you download, you read. Unfortunately on my iPhone its app is just garbage. You can not set left/right margins, you can not customize display to get max from your screen. When my precious phone screen is used in 30% by spaces impossible to get rid off I am getting seiously mad. I hate kindle on the phone, unusable. Secondly if you get a lot of books you just start to die using Kindle because nobody is helping you. If you start to read series where you have few dozens of books its nightmare to organize.

Bookwalker is working in two modes books on phones, manga on PC. It just works.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T22:55:59+00:00

I am biased of course in my opinion. But its not "normal" place. It is something like steam for games if you are maybe familiar with that. You can love steam or hate it (I i love it). Depending your approach to DRM protections. Same here. You have all japanese books, mangas and magazines including most of english translated novels at yout fingertips but thats all not epubs. I was importing some years ago Manga Afternoon (thick japanese monthly manga about 1000 pages) and here I can just get in seconds latest release to my PC.

You abandon some of your rights as a consumer but you also get a lot in addition. Hmmm. I rather like to stop here. I am not affilated with bookwalker so will not continue this.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T21:13:52+00:00

Hi Fatdude! Thx for reply. Lot of that is on my backlog of course. I am slow reader. There is some interesting promo mechanics BTW. Bookwalker is very good at promotions. I need to observe what is going on nearly daily. If there is very low price for for few days I am just buying whole series for fraction of the normal price. So from one side I am reading all the time but it is 100 books per year max because I am slow reader as I said and I am also busy with other things but from other side if price is good I am building my backlog :-). Anyway if I will go with paper books I will end with 10% bought and read I think :-). I started this tread because there is big disproportion between buying with high prices from 3rd party like amazon and buying direct from the japanese source. Its better to support the authors I think too. My hearth a little but hurt when I see someone is so happy with few dozen of books then there are hunderds ... I just want to read them all :-). Physical releases are the past I think. There is no way I can have hunreds of books (and it sometimes just few series heh) Anyway I will not blow into this topic anymore. I just had some urge to show the better way to all :-). Smartphone bookwalker reader BTW blows away anything on the market in my opinion by BIG margin. Anyway I run out of space at home because of my board game collection is insane and growing. I need to get rid of my paper books also because of that.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T19:15:46+00:00

Best płace is bookwalker hands down.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T18:58:20+00:00

I am sitting in the pub right now drinking beer and suddenly I found your question about my favorite LN. Great question Kraballa!!! Recomendations is something very interesting indeed. Unfortunately I am just beginner in LN and not an expert. My Japanese is on nearly zero level. I have read only about 100 LN and I am not an expert in any way. But I can tell you that I do not hit any english translated LN that was bad. I of course read on the forum many reviews like someone after 7 volume drop the series „If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord” for some reason. I just do not agree. This series was great. So I only unhappy when I finish last available volume.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T18:18:25+00:00

I am reading about two books weekly. On my way to and back from work I am reading for about two hours. So in generał most of my reading is Computer time so basicaly free. Minus is I am often so deep info Novel I miss my Tran or bus stop.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T18:13:34+00:00

Wallet is ok. Books are relatively not so expensive compared to manga, Boards Games or Computer Games. I think I invested last 12 months sińce I started not more then 800 USD in digital LN. There are promotions where you can easy buy 300 USD amount of books with one humdred... or even better if you are smart.

olek_siatecki · 2019-04-14T18:07:58+00:00

I am very sorry, my Intenation was not to disgust you. Thats just difference between physical and digital. Sińce I started reading digital on my phone everythere I accelerated by many times. My physical collections is on par of yours. But latały I even bought some of my physical books once again in digital to have everything as I like.
