10 Difficulties and Frustrations related to Visual Novel Localization
In this video, I talk about difficulties and frustrations of visual novel localization for both companies/contractors and the fans themselves. This is based on observations, conversations, and polls I've made with the community and people form the industry. Note: I do NOT work for the Visual Novel Industry officially.

Also the thumbnail/Intro picture is from Wagamama High Spec.

The-Bare-Minimum-Required-to-Read-Visual-Novels-in-Japanese
lbry://@AngeTime/The-Bare-Minimum-Required-to-Read-Visual-Novels-in-Japanese
I've seen many people who want to read visual novels in Japanese but are afraid it'll take too much and time and grinding to get to a good spot. This video will show the bare minimum to read visual novels in Japanese. You will be far from fluent, but you will know enough to at least get by through lots of word lookups. In short, this video will cover hiragana, katakana, and grammar and why you need to know them. I will also cover actually buying and setting up a visual novel to read in Japanese, including getting text from the visual novel so you can look things up.

HOW T
How-to-buy-Visual-Novels-for-Fantranslations-or-Reading-in-Japanese
lbry://@AngeTime/How-to-buy-Visual-Novels-for-Fantranslations-or-Reading-in-Japanese
It may be a bit difficult to figure out how to properly buy and support visual novels and eroge in Japanese to read fantranslations or even to read in Japanese. Especially if you don't live in Japan. I made this video to make the process easier for most people to support the Japanese VNs they like. I don't believe I mentioned in the video but you don't need a Japanese Credit Card generally, I have a USA Credit Card and can buy VNs digitally or physically without issue.

Kotori Kanbe became one of my favorite characters in visual novels, a big part due to her hilarious Engrish. This visual novel compiles some of the most memorable times she used Engrish in the Rewrite visual novels. Chiwa Saito's amazing voice acting makes it even better.
