i imagine there are tons of vns in japan that are also as poo poo as the tons of american ones that show up, you just never hear about the poo poo japanese ones because theyre poo poo and people forget about them so you only hear about the good ones that get popular

i thought analogue and hate plus were ok

there's really not very many western VNs in the "animes beating the poo poo out of each other" genre though, and between Nasu and Urobuchi that's like half the good VNs out there

What's that manga where the guy dresses as a girl to go to an all-girl's school and over the course of the story discovers that all of the other students are also boys secretly dressing as girls?

I thought Urobuchi's VN shtick was more the body horror angle.

maybe if I get really, really bored but I legit have zero interest in it. it is long and sounds very bad.

i mean sometimes but Kikokugai is about a kung fu guy kiling cyborgs with his bare hands so he can get pieces of his sister's soul out of them, and Phantom of Inferno is about intrigue in a crime syndicate from the perspective of a brainwashed teenage hitman

I also kinda forgot he doesn't do every Nitroplus VN and was also thinking of Demonbane and Hanachirasu

(has the all-ages version of Kikokugai been translated yet? the original has some really weird and bad parts in between all the insanely epic fights)
