Welcome!

WELCOME!

Hi! This is a group for everyone and anyone who loves visual novel games. It's still a fledgling group, so expect more revisions and additions in the future.



What's a visual novel?
A VN (sometimes called ADV, or adventure) is a text-based game. It's basically a novel with pretty CG art and amazing seiyuu voice actors who read the lines for the characters.

There are published VNs for PC/PS2/PSP/DS/etc. as well as doujin VNs based on fandom. Original VNs are also produced.

Wiki: [link]

Who is this club for?
-Anyone who likes VNs.
-Anyone who is making a VN.

What is this club NOT for?
-Any art that is a blatant copy/trace of an existing artwork.
-Fanart of random anime/manga/etc. unrelated to VNs. Anime/manga based off of VNs are okay. (This doesn't go the other way, because if it did, we'd include ALL fandom, which is not the point of this club!)
-Getting popular. Please do not spam your entire gallery to "get more exposure." That is not the purpose of this club!
-Trolls and drama-makers.

So, how do I join as a member?
This group now has open membership. Simply click the join button above!

How do I contribute art to the group?
Please take a look at the guidelines here!

Where. Do. I Begin?



First of all, finishing a visual novel takes time. There's plenty of recorded lines that can go up to twenty hours, maybe even more. And when you finish reading the unrecorded lines, be prepared to add in another 10 hours or so.

It takes time to commit. If you go out to work/school everyday, how many hours can you commit to read the VN everyday? This game, Hadaka Shitsuji, plainly put, is awful, is awful for me.

Hadaka Shitsuji (Thereafter written as H.S) is a Yaoi VN, particularly made for people who want Yaoi in their reading materials. You might be asking what's Yaoi, and my advice to you is not to go near this genre, if you don't know what that concept is in the first place. As a male reader, this game is mostly ranked in the negatives, but hey, I must be wrong since VNDB gives it a strong 7.65/10 average as of this article.

SM, epicaricacy and domination. These are probably the top three nouns that comes to my mind. (Can't believe I'm even writing this down in a blog)

In the perspective of literature, where you study upon the writing style, the flow, the diction, the presentation, H.S doesn't inspire in the English patch. If you manage to inspire the readers to even feel a moment to try some odd, terrible things to the characters, I'll say the VN has succeeded. In a VN that contains so many horrifying deeds, not even once, did I want to do bad things to any of the characters. Mostly, however, it was me crying and whimpering somewhat aloud going in a panicked kind of voice "Uuuuuuu ='[", after reading how the protagonist forcing the Shota-kun do things that violates all sorts of laws, or how just it was plain bad, like seeing how the buffest man in the VN wear red strapped underwear, and the protagonist saying that it's "sexy".




That's the first and last picture you're going to get.

If you're nice enough to the characters, the protagonist mostly remains as mostly nice to the characters and it ends there as a *bad end*. Good end will be you dominating the butlers, in a mostly WTF way.

Now, about the summary. You play as a young guy who is 20, doing his university stint, while holding a job as a waiter. However, you lose your job, and somehow managed to get a new job about becoming the master of a house, where 5-6 different butlers serve you (I don't even want to count how many there really are). After a while, if you click once too many times on a particular butler, along with choices that leads to a scene where you dominate the butler in a hentai way.

Basically that's the whole game. Did I mention the bad voice acting too? Or how the English patched system crashed every ten minutes? System doesn't seem to have scene replay either, can't bring up save points at some sections as well.

All in all, bad system, bad voice acting, bad storyline, probably bad sex scenes (or maybe some people will find it to be thoroughly engaging?), why even bother with this game? I can't even bring up the energy to be snarky about this.

If you require another review (and the only other one I can find...),

Hey everyone. I'm a new member, Thought I'd introduce myself.
I've played many Top name Visual novels out there. And I stand against the Common stereotype that Visual novels are Hentai games. I'm not an artist. (can't even Properly draw a stick figure) But I guess Im a aspiring novelist. I like writing story's. I've been "Scripting" My own visual novel for the last 2- 3 years. Since I'm no artist I've stumped upon the need of artistic help. and Not many people would help me, (due to the common steriotype, and my lack of friends) My first VN was Shuffle!... Nice too meet you all.

Question, what's the difference between Original game and Doujin game? Because I'm seeing original games in the doujin game folder.
