Guys this is kind of off topic, but you are the only group I converse with and trust in regards to visual novels.
Just finished Kara No Shoujo and then read what happens in the sequel. And I'm having some pretty serious things happen in my personal life that is kind of compounding and making me really feel down.
So I need somewhat of a palate cleanser. Not something just stupidly happy just something in between. I really can't do pure romance novels. They are just boring. I need some drama. NTR would still be preferable, but I want something that has been translated to English on Mangagamer or somewhere else.
Something with likable characters with good art.
I know it's a ridiculous request that I'm asking out of desperation I just need some help to steer me on a better path. lol
Too bad you want just english translated game, but here is a little selection of mine:
1/You can play the main route of
Rewrite, which is quite a happy story and also one of the most hilarious VN I've read, due to the awesome main character. And an excellent story too. If you feel depressed I don't recommend playing the heroine routes until you feel better, but I definitely recommend the main route, which quite refreshing. And really, that's an awesome VN.
BTW no sexual content, but the story doesn't really need it. :)
2/You can try
Fortune Arterial, which has a light hearted feeling overall ;) (Well at least for the main heroine).
3/That's not a pc game, but a PS2 one (playable with an emulator...), and it's one of the best (in my top 3 for the ps2).
Ar Tonelico 2 is a successful mix between a VN and a classic RPG, and it's awesome, because:
- the story is interesting and the VN part actually
is the plot ingame.
- all characters are likable.
- the music is gorgeous, seriously I usually like at least one song in games, but here 90% of them are pure gems.
If you want something that you'll play with dozens of hours, that's definitely a game to try!
BTW I recommend the "undub" version...
With these 3 games, I think you can set your mind on something different!
