VNDBReview

Kanzume Shoujo no Shuumatsu Sekai and Missing-X-Link ~Ten no Yurikago, Togi no Hana~ are both strong titles from this fruitful April. Micchi can't have enough of 9-nine- Haruiro Harukoi Harunokaze , Koioto Se Piace and Tonari ni Kanojo no Iru Shiawase ~Summer Surprise~

VN of the Month March 2019 - Realive

September 24, 2021

•

Realive is the only masterpiece I can vouch for. Micchi adds Aonatsu Line and pieces/Wataridori no Somnium to the list of interest.

VN of the Month February 2019 - Swallowtail -Ano Hi, Ao o Koete-

September 22, 2021

•

I'll only mention Swallowtail -Ano Hi, Ao o Koete- as a worthy game for me. Micchi goes all out with Evenicle 2 , Happiness! 2 Sakura Celebration , SPIRAL!! , Yume to Iro de Dekiteiru and even Aibeya

VN of the Month January 2019 - Sorceress＊Alive! ~the World's End Fallen Star~

September 20, 2021

•

Sorceress＊Alive! ~the World's End Fallen Star~ and Sakura, Moyu. -As the Night's, Reincarnation- are the only masterpieces. Micchi also does not mind Sugar*Style , love clear and a delayed title.

VN of the Year 2018 - Butterfly Seeker

September 18, 2021

•

VN of the Year

Rather modest year, overall. There are still as many as 17 masterpieces, but number of games has decreased significantly, and I barely got 100 openings in Visual Novel Openings 2018 . Without a strong chunige title I'll opt out for the strongest mystery title as VN of the Year, and that's Butterfly Seeker .

VN of the Month December 2018 - Kotonoha Maichiru Natsu no Koe

September 16, 2021

•

Kotonoha Maichiru Natsu no Koe with all its flaws is still the only candidate worthy of mention . Micchi gives a chance to other charage of the month - Sora ni Kizanda Parallelogram and Hinekuremono no Gakuen Seishun Monogatari

VN of the Month November 2018 - Amazing Grace -What color is your attribute?-

September 14, 2021

•

No masterpieces this month. But if I had to choose something, I'd probably point at Amazing Grace -What color is your attribute?- . Micchi is also happy about nukige Uchi no Imouto and RPG Fuukan no Grasesta .

VN of the Month October 2018 - Deep One

September 12, 2021

•

Deep One is the only decent game this month. Micchi is also moderately interested in Deatte 5fun and LocaLove Dousei×Kouhai

VN of the Month September 2018 - Raspberry Cube

September 10, 2021

•

Raspberry Cube looks like the best candidate from the presented ones. Micchi also likes CharaBration and Kemono Musume no Sodatekata

VN of the Month August 2018 - Mirai Radio to Jinkou-bato

September 08, 2021

•

Mirai Radio to Jinkou-bato is the winner by default. Micchi also likes one delayed title.

VN of the Month July 2018 - Haru to Yuki,

September 06, 2021

•

Haru to Yuki, basically wins by default here as gameplay and series releases don't qualify. Micchi likes provoking Nukige Mitai na Shima ni Sundeiru Watashi wa Dou Surya Ii Desu ka and fluffy Wanko no Yomeiri as well as a delayed title

Ai Yori Aoi Umi no Hate アイよりアオい海の果て [AXL]

Review 2017

Foreword: I have no trouble with underdeveloped futuristic settings, so I thought I could look at this game from a different perspective. Here's the result.

VN of the Month June 2018 - Maoten

September 02, 2021

•

Maoten is VN of the Month and Curio Dealer is a runner-up. Micchi expectedly favors Summer Pockets and Koi wa Sotto Saku Hana no you ni and some fandisc

VN of the Month May 2018 - Shunkyoku no Tyrhhia ~What a Beautiful Dawn~

August 31, 2021

•

Shunkyoku no Tyrhhia ~What a Beautiful Dawn~ is VN of the Month , also chosen by Clephas . The rest are either flawed or not memorable. Micchi is satisfied with Koisuru Kokoro to Mahou no Kotoba , Kimi to Hajimeru Dasanteki na Rabukome and some loli nukige.

VN of the Month April 2018 - Yuusha to Maou to, Majo no Cafe

August 29, 2021

•

It's a very weak month, and Yuusha to Maou to, Majo no Cafe is the winner . Clephas reluctantly nominated it. Micchi has a broader range of candidates - Tenpure , Nyanto Suteki na Natsuiro Days and some fandisc.

VN of the Month March 2018 - Butterfly Seeker

August 27, 2021

•

There are as many as five masterpieces - Kieta Sekai to Tsuki to Shoujo -The World was Prayed by The Girl Living A Thousand Years- , Unjou no Fairy Tale , Karigurashi Ren'ai , AI Love: Koisuru Otome wa Kikaijikake and Butterfly Seeker. But the last one is chosen by Clephas and deserves the upper hand.

Micchi adds RIDDLE JOKER and Natsuiro Ramune to the list.

VN of the Month February 2018 - Lost Echoes

August 25, 2021

•

Lost Echoes is VN of the Month and Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Trinkle Stars is another masterpiece. Clephas had the order reversed. Micchi also pulls out Full Uso -Complete Four Seasons- and a lolicon nukige.

VN of the Month January 2018 - Yorite Konoha wa Kurenai ni

August 23, 2021

•

Clephas chose Yorite Konoha wa Kurenai ni and I also embrace this opinion for now till I play Sora no Baroque myself. Shogun-sama wa Otoshigoro is another masterpiece. Micchi is enthralled by Soi Kano ~Gyutto Dakishimete~ and a loli nukige

VN of the Year 2017 - Suisei Ginka

August 21, 2021

•

VN of the Year

Year 2017 is probably the last great year with respectable number of releases each month and almost 20 masterpieces. Clephas ended up choosing Aoi Tori, but I generally choose some chunige, so it's Suisei Ginka this time. Visual Novel Openings 2017 .

VN of the Month December 2017 - Bakumatsu Jinchuu Houkoku Resshiden Miburo

August 19, 2021

•

Bakumatsu Jinchuu Houkoku Resshiden Miburo does not have serious contestants in a Comiket month and is VN of the Month. Kin'iro Loveriche is another masterpiece. Clephas had somewhat the same vision. Micchi prioritized Koi ni, Kanmi o Soete, Natural Vacation and Kin-iro Loveriche

VN of the Month November 2017 - Aoi Tori

August 17, 2021

•

Aoi Tori , Kizuna Kirameku Koi Iroha , Yoru Meguru, Bokura no Maigo Kyoushitsu are all decent choices within their genres, but I should agree with Clephas about the first one being the winner. Micchi feels the same, but adds lighter ones like Making*Lovers , Maho×Roba -Witches spiritual home- , Abnormal Lovers and Yurameku Kokoro ni Michita Sekai de, Kimi no Yume to Yokubou wa Kanau ka

VN of the Month October 2017 - Yami to Hikari no Sanctuary

August 15, 2021

•

Yami to Hikari no Sanctuary is VN of the Month with Kanojo wa Tenshi de Imouto de being another masterpiece. Clephas actually chose both. Micchi favors Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart 2 , Tsugihagi Make Peace and a delayed title.

VN of the Month September 2017 - Oni ga Kuru. ~Ane ga Hinshi de Pinchi Desu~

August 13, 2021

•

Oni ga Kuru. ~Ane ga Hinshi de Pinchi Desu~ is VN of the Month and Omokage Railback is another masterpiece. Clephas was choosing between these two with such outcome. Micchi leans towards Sakura Hitohira Koi Moyou , Seven Days and a fandisc.

Dungeons & Daimeiwaku 大迷宮＆大迷惑 -GREAT EDGES IN THE ABYSS- [Liar-soft]

August 10, 2021

•

Review 2016

Foreword: I'm a fan of DnD , Wizardry 8 and Japanese Wizardry series, so I could not just pass by Dungeons & Daimeiwaku. As for Mareni writing, it's a stamp of minimally acceptable quality although without a normal story it can easily go astray.

VN of the Month August 2017 - Blade x Bullet - Kinrin no Soleil

August 09, 2021

•

Another August capitulates before the doujins. Blade x Bullet - Kinrin no Soleil is the only normal game and winner by default. Did not find Clephas winner for August, but it's ether the same or fandisc or none. Micchi is more interested in Kotonoha Amrilato and fandisc.

VN of the Month July 2017 - Hikari no Umi no Apeiria

August 05, 2021

•

Hikari no Umi no Apeiria is the only masterpiece in July 2017. Clephas also thought so. Micchi on the other hand finds Hatsujou Sprinkle , Shin Koihime†Musou -Kakumei- Souten no Haou and O-uchi ni Kaeru Made ga Marshmallow Desu to be worthy.

VN of the Month June 2017 - Ai Yori Aoi Umi no Hate

August 03, 2021

•

Clephas ended up choosing nothing, but I'll stop at Ai Yori Aoi Umi no Hate , will need to eventually review it. Micchi only pointed at delayed titles and one fandisc.

VN of the Month May 2017 - ChronoBox

August 02, 2021

•

ChronoBox made the day for me with Ojou-sama no Hanbun wa Ren'ai de Dekiteimasu! and Newton to Ringo no Ki as other masterpieces. Clephas had the second one in mind for the winner. Micchi adds such titles as Anata ni Koisuru Ren’ai Recette and nukige Nekopara.

Ama no Sora Retrospect 天ノ空レトロスペクト [GLace]

August 01, 2021

•

Review 2015

Foreword: I know I was going to review Schwarzesmarken, and I quite liked the anime version, but I see zero reason to play the game after the anime. Ama no Sora Retrospect, on the other hand, seems to have zero English reviews despite the non-trivial setting, thus it fits my choice pattern nicely.

VN of the Month April 2017 - Tsuihou Senkyo

July 30, 2021

•

Clephas chose nothing for this month. But if we add console releases, Tsuihou Senkyo is good and original enough to be called VN of the Month even though I tend to dislike survival games. Micchi expectedly fell for Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 & 2 and 9-nine- Kokonotsu Kokonoka Kokonoiro , while Zen favors Niizuma LOVELY×CATION and delayed titles.
