Sekien no Inganock. The art is great and Ati and Kia are very Moe, but it had some serious flaws. - repetitive as fck - a cold, unrelatable protagonist - an annoying mini-game in every shapter - open ending and aborted romance It's between 6 and 7 /10

That's a shame, because she is an awesome imouto-character. As for the game: the Aeka route is still in the top 5 of the best routes ever! (At least imho)

I read the Elis route and was rather disappointed. Even with the incest-vibe it was still boring....meh

What the heck is the translator of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia doing? I know, respect the contributors and so on, but he needs like a month for 100 lines. Furthermore he doesn't seem to have an editor, because over 12.000 lines are translated, but not edited. Maybe Mirror Moon returns with an epic Whooooom!! and translates F/HA in 2 weeks...

I realized that the term Loli is indeed a bit overused. To keep them special I will now use "semi-Loli" for the ages 12-16. I still refuse to read LB without Ero...

Visual Novels live through their use of words and sometimes a line that is really worth sharing. If you find such a line please note it and post it here! I'm sure many would appreciate it. When you surf regularly on vndb (like I do) you may have noticed the quotes on the bottom of each page. These are a good starting point. Rules: 1. the line should be understandable and enjoyable without knowing the context (too much VNs to know them all...) 2. both funny and impressive (whatever this means to you) quotes are valid 3. please mention the source (name of VN) Examples: "I'm so

I learned that fiction is the better reality.

I played 4 routes (sorry, Shizune...) and Hanako tops the rest with no effort. She's not only the most appealing girl (subjective), her route also had the deepest moments. Remember her H-Scene? It was beautiful, sad and tragic at the same time, both of them agreeing into sex for the wrong reasons, the emotional fallout after that messed up night and their final reunion. Her author knew exactly what he was doing, creating a really impressive character. I bet that many Eroge-newbies got hooked on VNs because of this particular route.

I just realized I never introduced myself here... I'm Cross, student and videogames/VN-Otaku. I love to explore exiting new fiction and like to write annoyingly long walls of text in bad English. Well, see you on the forum:o

For me the term Loli is a bit broader, not only 8-year olds. Key always makes their girls look very young.

I refuse to play a game full of Lolis without any Ero-Ero. Come on TLWiki, make it happen!

I played my first VN without a walkthrough, messed up along the way and got a bad ending. You know the Fuuuuuuuuck-Guy? That day I looked exactly the same. Now it goes like this: search the character pages of vndb for the most impressive girl -> search and copy a walkthrough =winning

Well, I always upload the pics from my hd, so that won't work. It's not that important, though. As for YMK: for real? Aeka is the personification of Moe. She has everything you could ever ask from a girl: white hair, old-fashioned clothes, serious problems in life and an almost Yandere-like obsession with the protagonist! Wait a sec...that doesn't really sound right...

The Five Phases of Manly Romance by Cross Chick Flicks Romance is for women, right? Whenever I hear „love story“ I instantly think of gay vampires and Fabio. George Clooney, Hugh Jackman and Robert Pattinson bring a smile to girls’ faces all over the world, while the boys frown like they drank a glass of piss. In the western hemisphere love in art is only targeted at women. Over the years the people accepted that fact, claiming that men are just too rough for emotions and only care for violence and porn, while the girls cry in front of the television, just because the movie

I second that request. Visual Novels are not 100-metre dashs, where it is important to be as fast and efficient as possible. Do you really enjoy to play a route like 2 hours after the start just because you can save some time in the beginning? For me, that breaks immersion. So a big bucket of thanks for everyone that compiles a walkthrough for every route without savestates^^

Well, at least the Internet seems to be tolerant (more or less). You know the Pedobear meme? As long as people can still make jokes about such a delicate matter, I'm hopefull that censorship movements have to expect a serious opposition.

Nah, I appreciate every contribution to the discussion, whether its approval or not. I can perfectly understand when you despise Lolicon. I just wanted to write about stuff I enjoy and that moves me. Sharing the compassion you feel when you spend time with things you love is always great.

In German it's written Tokio (Tokio (Stadt)), but it's Tokyo in English. Both is just a romanization, so who cares. BTW did you really read my post? It's NOT about fucking children, it's an unrealistic, but basically innocent ideal of girls. When you look at Anime and VNs nearly all girls could be considered underage (I'm looking at you, KEY!). I guess you still enjoy it (otherwise you wouldn't be here), does this make you and us child abusers? You know what really is pedo? Child beauty pageants; real little girls dancing and singing in miniskirts. That stuff is wrong. Art must be f

The Little Things in Life - On Lolicon By Cross C.P.? In 2005 a 26-year old Canadian was arrested for “importing child porn”. He pleaded guilty and was therefore spared jail, but next to some minor punishments (community service, forced counseling and a fine) his name was put on the sex-offender registry. Why I’ m telling you this, you ask? Because the “child porn” he imported was Manga. Lolicon Manga. When a man is sentenced for looking at some drawings something is wrong in the world. Globalization and Internet allow us to get entertainment from all over the world, but unfortu

Thanx for your comments^^ Actually it's a bit sad that the most common entry to this scene is through cheap Nukiges and not the story-driven VNs, but this way the masterpieces are even better. Anyway, I guess I will write some more about the stuff I read and enjoy, expect my next post at the weekend.

Why I read Visual Novels By Cross “I've just finished a game whose story left me changed. At times viscerally uncomfortable, at others touching, it was a story of filial love, coming-of-age, the fragility of childhood and the bleakness of mortality. It's called Kana: Little Sister, and it's an incest-themed sex game.” (Leigh Alexander on The Escapist) (Attention: This article contains 2 spoilers for Tsukihime and Kana, Little Sister. Please don’t read if you can’t handle those^^). It was like four months ago when I stumbled on a thread named “The best Hentai Games” o
