Higurashi (retranslation) showing progress. Good times, good times

Well I'll be the first and give a few of my recommendations Your list-I can only comment on two at the moment: Steins;Gate (JAST)-Well actually I haven't read the most recent version so I can only really comment on one but the novel itself is pretty good I think. It is a solid sci-fi/mystery/adventure plot but it has some cool twists along the way. Music is pretty good and artwork is actually really unique and cool too. Do You Like Horny Bunnies?-It isn't bad but not great. It is kind of similar to Sagara family, at least I thought so, but the plot was less interesting. Although I wasn't playing either one for the plot so you should have no problems. hehe Not sure which ones you have already gone through so here are just a bunch I read through that you might like judging by your list: A few all ages recommendations: Clannad Ever 17 Higurashi Umineko Rewrite A few not all ages recommendations: EF-A fairy tale of the two Katawa Shoujo Hitomi Imouto Ijime Monster Girl Quest 1-3 Sagara Family X-Change 1-3 and Alternative

Hey guys, this is just a shameless plug for my new blog that I created. The content is limited at the moment but I am slowly adding more to it as time permits and will try and add some other things besides VNs such as Anime and even some manga depending on how things go. Umineko is what I am reading currently though so there will probably be quite a few posts about that for the forseeable future. If you like it that is cool and if not any feedback would be appreciated as this is all a new learning experience for me at the moment. I'm hoping to expand on this idea in the future and make some other blogs and maybe even a website at some point but that remains in the far off future for now. Here is the link: The Other Side of Anime

Well I guess my collection just got a little bigger. Hehe

you do. Not in order per say but all of them.

Do you mean this one from MGQ2? Or this one? Either way I thought that whole last bit was really moving. It was the scene where I realized that I actually cared about the characters and what happened to them despite the games premise. Never saw that coming.

Ever 17

Steam version always resonated with me the most but the other versions are all equally well done. [video=youtube;Knd4oW-RpbU]

I'm 3 behind you at the moment but I'm slowly pressing forward. Umineko ep3

I've watched Air and Amnesia and I thought they were pretty good too. Have you seen any of these anime by chance: Ergo Proxy Darker Than Black Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom Claymore Blood+ They are all fairly dark but I thought they were pretty good.

Well the story definitely has a flip about midway through and to answer your question it stays that way through the remainder of the VN. It might grow on you a little more as you read through the second half, though judging from your initial opinion at the halfway point it probably won't so its up to you. Still reading Umineko everyone by the way. episode 1 and extremely mild Higurashi

I noticed there was a somewhat old thread about least favorite VN genres but I could not find one about favorite genres so here it is. Pretty much as the title says and I guess as far as categories go this thread did a good job I think of hitting the most important ones so I'll use it as a reference for anyone that might be unsure of which genre their tastes fall under https://erogegames.com/social/anime-lobby/970-complete-anime-genre-list-descriptions/, it does say anime though but o well it still works. lol My personal favorite genre overall would have to be school/slice of life, although Ryukishi is doing a good job of challenging that these days it seems.

Higurashi. Its awesomeness is virtually impossible to put into words but I gave it my best shot in the review section.

It is impossible to choose between the two so here they are:

I'm reading umineko too. I'm still on the first episode but it already is becoming really good. Just like higurashi before it I'm stuck until I finish it now. Sleepless nights here I come!

This novel was absolutely amazing. I can't believe how much was done with so little. You are an awesome person for recommending this one Harle it was a masterpiece. I only hope I can read more novels like this one in the future. I hear that Umineko is supposed to be really great so I am going to try that one next. I have purposefully not read anything about it so I don't even know the basic premise of it and I only have opinions of others to go on. If it is anything like Higurashi I already know it is going to be amazing too.

MINE!!!!!!!! But on a more serious note, I would have to say Forest. It was definitely not for everyone but I thought it was interesting and wish more people knew about it.

Like the title says anyone who has ever been a part of writing the story of a VN works here.
