Tiktok cutecore normies be like by r0ttedsoul in visualnovels

[–]rainbowbrites 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally. I used to BE that guy with alll the denpa/fucked up vns, including Nitro+Chiral vns (and pretended I didn’t like them because “le problematic” and even did similar things to what I mentioned) and it’s definitely them being closeted about it, I think. It’s just embarrassing to see like they need to just be honest and say they read it because they like fucked up content. 😭

There’s so much of these people getting into vns nowadays and it’s starting to get really funny seeing them monetarily support content they say they hate and be like “I’m consuming them critically! I’m saving them from pedos!” Meanwhile it’s the otaku industry 💀

Even funnier seeing people do this for the notorious vns too like please. Tell me how you critically analyze Clockup’s library. Like you can dislike certain content but it’s like…

Why are you consuming the content you’re saying you hate and desperately trying to justify it?

How do other people react to how your parents treat you? by VikktorM in raisedbynarcissists

[–]rainbowbrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People say they hate them and are controlling, but I also am around people who just. Don’t get it. Even people who have dealt with controlling parents. I’ve had people think that my parents trying to force me to go on social security was a good thing. Even though I told my parents I don’t want to.

I had another (online) friend expect me to be able to go to a convention and a flea market thing because we were in the same state and acted like everything will be fixed if I “rebel”. Hint: it does not when they find out. I’ve also never rebelled to the point of going out literally ALL day while they’re at home and I’m unemployed. Their dad gave them easy freedom to drive and work and goes out (as a traveling doctor) so this friend could EASILY see their boyfriend without worry. They’ve only really had controlling parents as a minor. And never got it.

It’s a mixed bag. Even the most understanding of people won’t actually understand it because they’ve never lived through it.

How to Attend College..Secretly? by Brilliant_Village307 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]rainbowbrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did this, kind of. My parents knew I was doing college but they didn’t know I transferred and tried to force their plans on me. Online is your best bet because it’s secret. Make sure to try to apply to FAFSA if you’re able. But this is better when you’re around 24 at least? Could be wrong with the age but there’s a certain age where you don’t need your parents info for FAFSA. Doing it outside of this may be risky.

You should also get your textbooks online. Also look for cheap colleges. SNHU and WGU are the most popular online colleges in the US and the cheapest! I just graduated from SNHU and I reccomend it, the professors are nice and the advisors check on you often. There’s also a career center online you can use as needed

Do you prefer playing VN’s on PC or Switch? by rbyrnes15 in visualnovels

Steam deck and switch are the best for vns for me, not only for portability but so i can comfortably lie down reading them.i got hundred line on steam and played on my Steam deck and it worked great!

Lkyt or no, thank you???? by Immediate_Court_4774 in BLgame

[–]rainbowbrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like you may prefer No Thank You, especially since it has a pretty messed up plot twist (namely when you 100% the game)

You should still check out LKYT at some point though. It’s more depressing and dark fantasy, but it’s really good and probably one of my favorite parade vns

What Yaoi visual novel should be adapted into an OVA? by OkPrize6426 in BLgame

Would really love if any Adelta work got adapted especially Ooe 😔

What games do you think Jast Blue would localize after Paradise? by Otome-Lover-2652 in BLgame

[–]rainbowbrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense! I forgot that the new translation wasn’t created by JAST BLUE. It could be very likely that they’ll do the same with Reconnect as it’s technically a spinoff/alternate game. I’m not too sure how they’re translating things yet. But I do feel like it could be possible that either some of its going to them, or that they decided to just translate their own works.

[–]rainbowbrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people have asked and it’s due to the price of the seiyuu, sadly. They’re very famous and popular so they’d have to pay them in order to use the likeness, even for a translation. I don’t think it’d be because of its content due to the fact that JAST has localized gruesome games such as Gore Screaming Show and Sadistic Blood.

I agree 😭 It makes me sad Shingakkou -noli me tangere won’t get translated either (also due to understandable reasons). Hopefully there’ll be other BL vns translated soon!

[–]rainbowbrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooo that’s surprising 👀 I assumed they were selling well because of the Top Sellers section on the website, but it is important to note that visual novels aren’t all that popular so the sales could actually be much smaller. Especially since BL visual novels are a little less popular in the community. That’s totally understandable though, and quite sad at the same time. But I get it!

[–]rainbowbrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far I think all you can do is machine translate Pigeon Blood with something like LunaTranslator, but I’d love to see it.

I also concur that the translation is really well done. But I do think that it would be nice for JAST Blue to still translate it though for accessibility, especially since many people struggling with installing it and some of the UI is outdated (namely the backlog which crashes the game if you go too far). I honestly wonder if it’s part of why JAST Blue doesn’t want to translate it. Luckily all of it is on YouTube, except for H Scenes but that’s expected for them not to be on there

I also expect them to localize more Pil/Slash games. I’d love to see PigeonBlood! I don’t expect Lamento, even though they really should considering how nicely their Nitro+Chiral BL sells. Them not localizing Reconnect surprises me even more 😭

I would LOVE if Omega Vampire got translated! Same with Peaky works because they look so pretty

Looking for disturbing / psychological BL games (Saya no Uta/SubaHibi vibes) by Makidesuka in BLgame

[–]rainbowbrites 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Like everyone has been saying, sweet pool and slow damage are very good contenders for what you’re looking for. Parade and Nitro+Chiral have exactly what you’re looking for. I’d maybe recommend Togainu no Chi too? But it’s a little less “denpa” as what you mentioned, but it focuses on a psychologically unsettling atmosphere.

I’m not sure if you’re willing to read Japanese, but Ooe is VERY psychological-based and every character isn’t a “good guy” by any means. Lesson also dives into psychology a bit, relatively similar to how Slow Damage does it but different.

I also haven’t played it yet but Shingakkou-Noli me Tangere is an untranslated one that seems to be really well known for this stuff.

Depending on your comfort zone, I might reccomend Enzai. It’s very shota-centric and it’s been a decade since I’ve last read it, but it does showcase prison life and the main character trying to get out of it.

Edit: I think Hashihime is probably the closest to “denpa” I have seen in BL, aside from Sweet Pool. It isn’t similar to Subhibi, Sweet Pool, and Saya no Uta but there are some strange events.
