I'm surprised the Eva VN never got officially translated into English.

>>14532Lel, this reminds me of my teenage when I was a massive fan of Vincent Price, Roger Corman and b-movies from the 60s and 70s in general. I still love them, actually.
Now thinking about it, if these were modern anime or cartoons I believe that they would have a fujo fanbase. It's always movies that are either about a bunch of super quirky half-backed dude villains (usually involving Price, Lorre and Karloff) that try and fail to do evil stuff together or it's a character story about a lonely, broken man who gets insane because he cannot bear with his misfortune and mental issues any longer and eventually dies a lonely, tragic death (the Poe adaptions of Corman). Also, vampires. Vampires are gay on principle.

No.14622
>>14620The H-scenes aren't pointless since they show Fuminori's mental deterioration, but the reason they're never mentioned is because I don't think anyone likes it for the porn. Kinda like how F/SN' sex scenes are only brought up when people mock them. It's kind of a shame, I love Saya no Uta but those scenes do prevent me from recommending it to people.

No.14629
>>14626I pirated it.
>>14627No I rawdog most games I play. It’s (usually) not a problem.
>>14622I finished it and it’s such a good concept but the sex scenes absolutely add nothing to the experience anon. There were any number of ways to show Fuminori’s slipping sanity. In fact, I don’t think Saya had to be a loli either, she could’ve been a grown woman and that wouldn’t have changed the story at all. It’s just Gen Urobuchi being a weirdo. I was talking to my sister about it and she was looking up his work history and the moment she saw Madoka Magica on the list she said “oh so that’s why that anime looks like *that*” kek.
But I really did enjoy this vn and I kind of wish it was longer. Do you have any recs for similar stories? I’ve already read Sweet Pool and I need more.
No.14630
>>14629>weirdoThis isn't tiktok you can say pedophile, lolicon or outright a pervert.
Alternatively, he made kinobolt fantasy which doesn't have a single underage character so I'm betting on shock value.
No.14631
>>14630Well I’m a
shotacon myself so I’m not going to accuse every single weirdo out there of being a pedophile anon.
I had no idea he made Thunderbolt Fantasy though. It must be shock value as you said then.

>>14627She's depicted as an adult in the western comic adaptation but it's not exactly faithful to the source material
No.14636
>>14629>similiar to Saya no utaSayonara o Oshiete is basically the first schizo ( called denpa genre) vn and it's where the whole non-reliable main character vns took inspiration from, Saya no Uta especially.
But if you had a problem with the loli scenes in Saya no Uta, ohh boy, you're not going to enjoy Sayooshi.
There is also Subahibi which is very good imo, kimi to kanojo and Chaos head but it's scifi and a bit convoluted.
If you enjoy this kind of stories I would recommend Omori also, it's a rpgmaker with a very different tone but it has the trope of descent into the main character's psyche, obviously in a much less graphical way.
I honestly think Saya no Sloppa is just a worse version of Sweet pool.
Sweet pool had better characters, better pacing, multiple better endings and hot looking studs, what more do we need?

I see MangaGamer has started offering games that have English translations on DLsite, but are blocked outside of Japan.

No.14642
>>14631>>14637I think it's a bit of shock value with a genuine fondness for the loli aesthetic. Kind of like Yoko Taro adding incest and shota specifically to fuck with people who will go in for the brother and sister fluff or cute little boys.
But considering how he keeps doing it- I think there is a genuine attraction to the concept not so much to be into it. Because fucking with expectations and pulling it off is genuinely always funny
No.14708
>>14706I bought Needy streamer overload cause I'm into the game's aesthetic and jirai kei fashion without any knowledge of the person who wrote it and I'm probably not the only one. This sure puts the game into a new perspective, though.

>>14710And the game he released two days ago where most of these thoughts were cemented
Literally every female character who isn't the little sister is a whore who has no real interests or hobbies other than getting male attention and every hobby she pretends to have is actually a ploy to get more male attention.

Rakuen Tsuihou – The Stellar Angel

No.14782
>>14729>>14733I hated Needy Girl Overdose, so I'm in no rush to expose myself to this, but for anyone who did play it, is the protagonist supposed to be unsympathetic? Or is it played completely straight? I'm a huge fan of Dostoevsky, and I heard this VN references him a lot. I'm wondering if it's an Underground Man situation where you're supposed to hate the MC or not. I'm guessing not because of how much nasty shit he's posted, but I also don't see how you base your VN off of Dostoevsky's work, and allow the fact that his misanthropic protagonists are not supposed to be seen favorably to go over your head.

I've fallen of VNs so hard this year, started Yearning: A Gay Story and I'm absolutely not the target audience, but I feel like I need to finish at least a route since I'm too autistic to just quit games outright. This is fucking Echo all over again, ugh.
How long is the Needy Girl Overdose guys new game? Is the 4 hours on VNDB accurate? Maybe I'll take a break and try that.
>>14792Why would you reply to a 12 day old post for this?
The art kind of reminds me of Dragon Half not sure if anyone has read that.
No.14824
Finished Sister Other Paranoia and it low-key sucks but I like it more than Needy Girl.
>>14782It's very much Notes from Underground inspired with a bit of No Longer Human thrown in, the MC is awful and most of it is rambling rants with a paper-thin narrative. While the MC is presented as in the wrong there is a bit of ambiguity over how much of the work is also just the author talking directly to the audience through the character. The MC is a writer who wrote one popular LN and needs to write a sequel which he has hang-ups over the idea that he'll fail at, this of course is exactly Nyalra's situation. The opening with discussions about influencer culture and how people behave online is also obviously something he believes in.
Everyone in the VN is a bad person except for the sister, so while I don't think the intention is to specifically be misogynistic every female character is obviously written by a man and so the idea that Botan uses her feminine graces to get ahead in life with compensated dating, or that his mother and father's relationship has fallen apart largely because his mother is now fat and ugly and therefore no longer sexually desirable is a bit eyerolling. A better written VN could have these same characters and explore them in a way that doesn't come off as gross I think.
Also Boton's suicide CG with the piss is just so gratuitously fetish-y feeling it's weird for a game that otherwise has great art and presentation. Anyway I do think this game commits to it's theme so while it's a bit exhausting to read it does more with it's premise then Needy Girl. I really like the Bat route and Monkey route both those character's contrasted well with the protagonist and I thought they had the most interesting conversations.
True ending is awful and while an
optimistic element was probably needed to balance the game it's tonally so detached from the rest it doesn't really work.

>>14989Honestly I admire this level of confidence to put your stuff out there like that. I don't show anyone my art because I'm embarrassed at being a grown adult whose art quality is like that of a child.
