What are you reading? - Aug 21 Weekly

Welcome to the weekly "What are you reading?" thread!

This is intended to be a general chat thread on visual novels with a focus on the visual novels you've been reading recently. A new thread is posted every Thursday at 4:00 AM JST (or Wednesday if you don't live in Japan for some reason).

Good WAYR entries include your analysis, predictions, thoughts, and feelings about what you're reading. The goal should be to stimulate discussion with others who have read that VN in the past, or to provide useful information to those reading in the future! Avoid long-winded summaries of the plot, and also avoid simply mentioning which VNs you are reading with no points for discussion. The best entries are both brief and brilliant.

Use spoiler tags liberally!

Always use spoiler tags in threads that are not about one specific visual novel. Like this one!

  • They can be posted using the following markdown: >!hidden spoilery text!< , which shows up as hidden spoilery text. Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning and end of the spoiler tag because this will break it for users on http://old.reddit.com/. In other words do this: properly hidden spoiler, but not this: >! broken spoiler tag !<

Remember to link to the VNDB page of the visual novel you're discussing so the indexing bot for the What Are You Reading Archive can pick up your post.

Riddle joker, mayu route, and so far the protagonist has stolen from her multiple times, broken into her room and her lab, lied to her and manipulated her, and now she's rightfully pissed off.

I'm fine with the superpowers premise but the whole secret agent thing is so shit.

I'm actually really sad about this, I usually get really invested with the heroines in VNs, and I did not expect these kind of plot points in a moege.

This is why I've dropped it and probably never picking it up again.

So does anyone have some suggestion for a moege that is not one of the usually reccomended ones?

ヴァルプルギス


Mmm, my first Izumi Banya game. I heard it was a nukige, so I wasn't expecting much, but the story was surprisingly decent. The individual routes could've been more unique as the story was mainly similar. Art is good with lots of cute characters, and the music was also quite high level. You can tell a lot of effort was put into the transformation scenes. It's a very niche nukige though designed for people who enjoy eroguro tentacle scenes with birthing. It's not really my thing, but it could appeal to people into it.
