Welcome to the Fuwanovel VNTS, where we shamelessly copy the work of one illustrious 4chan /jp/ member in collating translation progress and add minor dabs of value through corrections and additions. Entries with updates this week in bold. This week’s picture is from Gin’iro, Haruka because this week’s really got nothing up its sleeve that will turn some heads otherwise. And yes, you have to write it with an apostrophe AND a comma, apologies for the autism.
After I once again invented (did he mean copied? -Z) one of Zaka’s quirks and the readers here are all familiar with my person now… well, I will introduce myself again, milady (misandrist detected -Z). I could also just start before I get chased out of town, but then the traditional two paragraphs at the beginning before the listing are left unfulfilled. Oh, around 9pm I still got a spontaneous meetup with one of the VN.Info staff who is for some reason in Frankfurt and didn’t get shot yet, surprising idk (did he mean tbh or ngl? -Z). Ah, the Fuwanovel Forum’s activity is going according to expectations and some lads even undusted their old accounts: Okami, Tyrael. This one’s for you!
(He made me edit this — but I guess he had a reason, reading some of these hataisms. Forgive me if my comments on his commentary seem slightly testy, I was busy for 6 hours today (ok, more like 4 working) doing an infernal assignment using the kinda mid software RapidMiner (honestly not that bad). Almost offed myself but I have vns to translate so I persist.)
(Hata’s autism also led him to cursive all the titles in the VNTS this time to see how it looks. If he was completely off the rails he would also link every single game, but that will take so much time… he wishes there was a way to make it quicker. He loves linking to things, so people have it as easy as possible to E D U C A T E themselves. If unneeded plz comment.)

Stuff like this has been either added or updated since the last thread
The Zakabox
「ResidentSleeper what’s going on in this VNTS? not much ngl.
Manakashi has been progressing mostly silently for a while but I guess they did a big update now (or maybe just made their updates more legible). I have good feels about this crew, the translation will hopefully be actually better than passable (they’re not asking for my help on lines much these days, having found actual editors probably changed that).
Shin Koihime Musou will be done in 2030 or so (shinimasu 2029!). I believe the current tsukihime remake project is honest-to-god-not-mtl. Of course we can argue that with Type-Moon localizing mahoyo it might be a bit premature, but on the other hand considering the romanization scheme they somehow saw fit to use in the promo for that… who knows.
Walkure Romanze’s only notable feature is that it has a lot of piss (some would argue them being knights or whatever matters. maybe.), but honestly the art wasn’t that hot to me so I don’t have much saved from my walk of its cg gallery.
Gore Screaming Show is probably the most interesting ge on the list; I’ve heard the gore content is actually fairly low if you don’t go for the bad ends. I trust my chad reading audience will snap pick the bad ends first always.
C;H Noah in October seems nice, though who knows if this will be the final ultimate sexy console port no bother no censorship has japanese text included edition that I’m waiting for before reading.
Oh, and anon adds that Ima Sugu Onii-chan ni Imouto da tte Iitai! is planned to release on the ninth of September this year. 9/9. Cute. Kind of German though. I guess Hata will enjoy… Oh yeah I think I went through the HimeYoku hcgs once as well. I think they were like 3.5/5 or something…」
The Hatabox
「Okay, so this time without long intros, because people want to know my opinion — how rare. Frankly, I did not pay much attention to this VNTS and so did not even the 4Chan brothers because that thread did not even breach like 50 posts right now (9pm GMT+1). There’s simply not much to talk about, but let’s see:
I would actually begin with the Ima sugu Onii-chan ni Imouto da tte Iitai! update because it frankly has blown me away. I’ve been recently given access to the Fuwanovel twitter (which will turn out to be a major mistake once my enemies stumble across the word “astroturfing” in the dictionary again) and been QRTing mostly/ cool / shit that has been posted on our forum. Apropos, the forums actually gained some great activity for the initial days of its resurgence. Imasugu was one of those because just taking a look at the CGs and especially the UI makes my heart flutter like *dokidokiwakuwaku*. Aokana and KoiChoco (both available in 4K UHD) are already good looking, but this game oozes comfy in everything. Idk what’s so German about it Zaka, but I’ll find out – maybe they eat some fancy Sauerkraut down the line? (This man doesn’t even know the word for no in his own language -Z) Ah, the project also had its doubters, but meganekko avi good guy named nReus came to the rescue. Not all heroes wear capes, I guess.
Funnily enough, there has been the first somewhat toxic enchange between users on our platform since we revived it. Some dude went full schizo on the guy who keeps promising and apparently not delivering updates for the Sen no Hatou, Tsukisome no Kouki FanTL. Frankly, I kinda can understand the rage, because DubstepKazoo had been acting like he’s the FLASH when he first introduced this project by saying he translated it in just “””under 6 months””” which no one believed back then and no one does believe today. We probably should moderate ad-hominem’s though idk. Everyone’s got a bad day once.
Update: Kazoo actually commented on the post, but the schizo guy did not let up so we had to get rid of him. Darwin Award, I guess.
Manakashi has been progressing smoothly. That’s great to hear because I know the person pantsudev behind that project quite well (Actually, yumi is the person and pantsudev the group. Hata moment -Z). Besides funky Venus Blood Frontier kickstarter astroturfing attempts that completely have no single impact on the outcome of an already successful kickstarter project, our VN.Info server also has offered fertile ground for some people’s fan projects. They grow so quickly? Either way, Manakashi is not the only impressive thing that yumi is working on, so they actually dropped a demo about a tool that has the potential to make any fan translator’s work much easier – obviously it is not plug & play with all engines, but it does look slick. Here’s a demo.
Lastly, I wanna talk about HimeYoku. Well, as the dude who has singlehandedly (actually I sometimes used two) survived the fap gauntlet that was the Yamizome Revenger QC job which made me go through more than 300 dialogue sequences and more than 80 H-scenes in less time than what is healthy, I’m looking forward to be playing another Escu:de game. This is actually localized by Shiravune whom I have not heard much of since their last Bangin Summer! Game Doukyuusei Rema… ah wait there was Great Deceiver! I’ve been deceived!
Either way, I believe that our favourite Viking Dörg (Dergonu) has been doing a practiced job translating this game. I have not heard much praise nor much disappointment when it comes to Great Deceiver besides mosaics FUCK, so he might have done fine. I’m actually coping my ass off that he knows how to translate something substantial after having dealt with so much Miel/Norn Schaufelware for like an eternity (Wait, this nukige is substantial how? Combined poop mass? Whatever, Hata could even be right on this one I guess -Z). And Lamia was not his best work when compared to the beautiful Slime & Scylla, ngl. ALRAUNE NO BAAI WHEN???? GIVE ME PLANTWAIFU! PHOTOSYNTHESIS SEKKUSU GA HOSHIINDA YO! (Gardevoir fan spotted -Z) (Guardevoir is kinda hot ngl, but I vibe more with Lopunny)」
Well, enough blatant honesty. See you guys next week when the initial September draught is over and we get some banger announcements right in time for the unfortunate 21st anniversary of the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” meme. And that day is actually my dad’s birthday, too! (But to me, it’s just another 11/9 -Z)
Comments are still broken?
Looks ok I guess
Nah, why would they be? Or what do you mean with broken?
Sometimes I get “ERROR: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed.”
and last week, even though I finally managed to post my comment without getting error my comment never appeared at comments section
Welcome back
Here’s my VNTS Review that I made early, and my focus here is on both of two edited MTL-ed patch releases (Amayui 2 and Re:Lief) which understandable would raise some eyebrows.
https://forums.fuwanovel.net/blogs/entry/3645-sweets-labyrinth-meister-review/
Anyway like old times I’ll say that hopefully you’ll enjoy my VNTS Review for this week.
Looks like you may need to use Proxy to bypass it, although admittedly it’s quite annoying to get that kind of error so hopefully it can be fixed sooner or later.
We were getting insane amounts of spam, so we had to use a captcha for now. I think maybe our spam filters will be getting better soon though.
