Should I read White Album 2

>>141
I played the Dōkyūsei remake on steam back in May. Liked Hiromi the best.

>>142
Yea I want to read that too, I hear it's really good.

Has anybody played Subarashiki Hibiki here? I love that VN, definitely my second or third favorite.

I'm a total VN noob, so I decided to play through he Science Adventure series first. I started Higurashi, but I don't want to read two VN at the same time, so that's paused.
Is there a sort of absolute essentials I should read when I'm done with these?
I loved the Clannad animes, but I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to go through that emotional ordeal again.

I bought Monobeno Happy End on Steam and downloaded the Simplified Chinese uncensor patch. Currently playing it while using universal game translator for the Chinese text. All in all, a pretty good approximation to an English-translated version with Japanese audio.

I mean FSN is great, and I think its an essential.Or maybe MuvLuv, but I haven't played it yet.

>>146
Is it translating it in real time?

>>148
Yes! Universal Game Translator. You configure it with a Google API key, and you can establish an area of the screen that you can translate with a hotkey (just the text box, don’t want to send a fullscreen screenshot of your eroge to Google, no sir). The translation appears almost instantly. And since the API is designed for much more intensive tasks, you can never even get close to surpassing the free tier, so it’s free.
In the one hand it’s a treasure trove of new content to have. On the other, it gives me an excuse to not study Japanese so hard anymore. But realizing how messed up anime localization can sometimes be is also nice, so…

Aside from Steins;Gate and (questionably) Chaos;Head/Child), none of them are particularly good.
If you're looking for the crème de la crème, I'd recommend to follow a beginner's guide like picrel.
Essentials to read would be:
Clannad
Little Busters
Tsukihime
Fate/Stay Night
Steins;Gate
Higurashi
Umineko
Muvluv
Subarashiki Hibi
Muramasa

I started chaos;child recently but tbh I've been thinking about focusing more of my attention on summer pockets reflection blue instead because chaos;child is kindaaaa boring so far. I just hope it's a case of a very slow start or something

>>151
Chaos;Head is indeed a slow start, wading through all the exposition pays off (:
