Well, I'm beyond obsessed with achievements, and I want to 100% this VN so badly. I already beat it back when it released on itch.io three or so months ago, but I did not realize that I had apparently missed this much! i like experiencing EVERYTHING a story has to offer, so I need to get everything! Has anyone 100%'d it yet?

It looks like a good chunk of the achievements are based on naming the MC a special name. So far, I got (KIND OF SPOILERS FOR THE VN, SO DON'T LOOK TIL AFTER YOU FINISH IT) Madeleine, Daffodil, Lycoris, Wisteria, Samantha, Lillian, Toma, Emmeline, Bell, Rie, Licia, Minuet, Georgia, Roberta, and one of those catgirls from Nekopara. I presume Pretty in pick, Like BA-DAN!, Empty sketchbook (might be related to the whole Lycoris tree spirit thing now that I think of it but I don't know why I didn't get the achievement)Idiot Onee-san, English rose, and perhaps Metafiction are also name-related achievements, but I wouldn't know.

As for progress-based achievements, how exactly do you achieve Maids, knee socks, Shrimp princess, and Tea for Two? The only thing I can think of is quitting over and over again but that's kind of annoying... I thought I fulfilled the requirements for Exit pursued by bear and Just in time, but apparently I didn't. As for the last few achievements, I have no idea where to even get them. They would be Miss Maiorano, Girls have cooties!, and the Team achievements.

This post ended up being longer than I had originally thought it would be... so, yeah, has anyone accessed all this cool stuff yet?

Is Strawberry Vinegar worth the buy in terms of length and yuri content (and food porn in this case I guess)? It's on sale for $2.49 right now, which is quite enticing... can anyone who actually read it tell me how it is?

It's great. Great art, great writing, great characters, great ending; it's an absolute steal for just 3 bucks.

Just went and bought it! Thanks for the reply, now I have yet another one of Ebi-hime's great games in my library :)

Ebi-hime's wonderful Once On a Windswept Night is up on Steam! I came here not only to plug it but also... to ask for help. Cause I need it. I thought I finished it three months ago when I got the true ending, but then I saw the achievements and it was like... "AGH, THERE'S SO MUCH I MISSED! SO MUCH!" So, yeah, any help would be much appreciated!

Who wouldn't want to lick their partners' souls?

Oh, this is yaoi, huh? I would suggest adding the tag so that it might help more people to find this! Magical girl cross-dressing yaoi sounds good to me!

maybe if you're talking about real people that argument would hold, but this is fictional. these characters don't just fall in love because they have a mind of their own, it's the author's choice. if the author explicitly chooses to portray a relationship between sisters that's pretty fucked up and i don't want that to happen to such an enjoyable manga. and i know about citrus, i never read it because the premise of two sisters falling in love is fucked up and i'm frankly put off by most of the yuri community because they support things like pseudo-incest.

I would think it's more of a whole anime community thing than just a yuri community thing? I don't know for sure cause I'm not quite as involved in those communities as I am with the yuri community, but I don't see people getting pissed about... I forgot her name, Leafa/Suguru? being in love with Kirito in SAO (how I hated that anime) and all those shitty harem anime with those half-sisters in love with the protag. I admit that I certainly do get up in arms about those (that stupid sister was a source of rage for me for a while), so I kinda see your point since I definitely have a double standard when it comes to more... ah, messed up relationships that are yuri (see: Yuzumori-san, Candy Boy, I'm sure there are more).

Anyway, great read. I always get teary-eyed whenever reading PMMM pieces like this since the series was actually my introduction to the yuri genre.

PMMM was actually my introduction to the yuri genre too! I still remember the bittersweet emotions I felt while I was watching Episode 7 and that beautiful ending song playing over the credits... what was the song called again... And I'm Home, right? I haven't listened to it in a while, so I'm gonna go do that now... Anyhow, that episode and that damn song got me into yuri, and now I won't ever be able to get out of it. And I don't really want to either!

Nagisa would have felt a lot less shoehorned in in Rebellion if she had a great backstory like this. Whew, and what a great backstory it was. I never really supported NagiMami (MamiNagi? Nagimi? I dunno) before this because... well, there was pretty much no evidence for it at all (that I remember at any rate) but I'm just gonna take this as canon from now on.

What's that pronged thing she's holding in her hand? I've been staring at it for a while, and I just can't figure out what the heck it's supposed to be...

As soon as she said "Especially Aya-san," she basically guaranteed that Aya would be spying on them.

I'm probably never gonna watch this, so... what are they crying about? Did that teddy bear thing... Mofurun?... or that fairy thing die or go away or something?

Hehe, isn't that the reality of it? Even though I'm pretty tall now, I still suck as much at basketball as I did before I grew tall! And, yeah, I agree that it felt... really jumbled, and I don't really see the need for this random new dude. BRING ON THE YURI, NOT SOME WEIRD BASKETBALL THING... but this basketball thing will probably lead to some yuri, at least, I'm willing to bet.

You know, these characters are presumably Japanese, so shouldn't she at least know what "aishiteru" means? Alright, well, anyway, it was very cute and very funny just like all of mk's stuff.

Replacing Captain Marvel with a female character turned out to be a very popular move, and she has a dedicated fan base. The female version of The Question was also well received, and far as I know the female Thor still sells better than the male Thor did for a long time.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, Carol and Renee are both awesome characters and they're both very well-liked, but I feel like making Mar-Vell or Vic female out of the blue wouldn't go over so well. I mean, Mar-Vell has been dead for, what, 30 years now, so I don't think anyone but those dumb purists would really care about that, but Vic is a more beloved character who didn't die shortly after his first appearance. Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I know that there are many out there who would... Though it is apparently an alternate universe character, so... I guess if, I don't know, Donutman was introduced in an alternate universe then was made Donutwoman in the main universe, it'd be pretty different.

Goku actually just beats people with his penis.

Ah, I see, I see. Well, I didn't want to watch DBZ before, and that information makes me want to watch it... even less.

I do liked Broly character but not as a female. Not a sexist or anything.

But it's kinda like making Goku a female or Wolverine a female

I prefed Broly without breast. He is awesome as a madman wanting nothing but destruction.

They just ruined Broly >:(

F%ck you, Akira Toriyama.

I hope they will not ruin Hit or i will be done with this shit.

Just plz spare Hit from this horrible treatment. Haven't you damaged enough already?! :'(

Well, technically, Wolverine is female now that Logan bit the bullet and X-23 replaced him. But, yeah, I know it'd be different if instead of replacing him with a female character, they actually made him female. That being said, I don't see the problem with making Broly female since, I mean, it's not a female Broly can't be a madwoman wanting nothing but destruction... I mean, I've never watched DBZ, but I can't imagine that a character's sex is really an integral part of any of the characters.

I don't watch DBZ, so I have no idea what's going on here, but... a female Saiyan sounds sweet! Hopefully, it's actually a female Broly (whoever that is...) and not misdirection or something.

Also, just watched the first episode of Kobayashi-san! It was a great episode... even if they did excise some of the best parts of the manga, it still retained a lot especially considering that they seem to have crammed 4 chapters into 1 episode. Perhaps, if this continues, we'll get to Elma, Tooru's dad, and Iruru before the season closes... heck, we might even get farther than the current manga translation. Yeah, probably not... these first 4 chapters were relatively content-light, but I imagine they'd spend more time on the heavier ones. Random question: was that nightmare thing and the Tooru practicing her "Welcome home" routine thing at the end original additions or were they just pulled from future chapters? I don't really remember those scenes in the manga, but, then again, I don't really remember anything.

Finally watched the premiere! I'm disappointed that they got rid of the "TRAINS CAN'T BREATHE FIRE" part, but it was a very solid first episode. Looking forward to the rest!

Hmm, maybe I'll have to give Urara a shot some time if it gets even more yuri-y down the road... if it's above KinMoza levels of yuri, that'd be alright with me. Kobayashi-san is enough for me right now, but more's always good!

Well, I wasn't really interested in this (probably but I can't really say since I never read it) stupid shit before, but I sure am now. I'll definitely have to read it once the more yuri parts get translated.

Mononoke Sharing returns from its hiatus with the GAYEST CHAPTER YET! Is this a sign of things to come? (I sure hope so)

The Last Of Us canon

Can The Last of Us really be called yuri? Sure, Ellie is gay/bi, but she's never seen with a GF in the game itself... I guess Left Behind would be more applicable though poor Riley bites the bullet.

Dragon's Dogma romance based

I was not aware that Dragon's Dogma allowed gay romance... or that it had romance at all, really. It's probably gonna be a Skyrim kind of "relationship" as opposed to an actual relationship, but, still, it's nice that they included it.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Maker canon, but not worth the play just for the yuri imo

I wouldn't really call Peace Walker yuri either just cause of Strangelove, but it's definitely a solid game regardless.

Overwatch: ??? has a gay character in it idk

It does, but I don't think said gay character mentions her girlfriend or anything about her sexuality even once in the game proper... I dunno though, maybe they'll add some new voice lines soon.

But now that I think about it, I figure Dynasty Reader should have tons of traffic. Is traffic still expensive? Back in the day, it sure was.

From what I recall the site's hosting is actually provided by a generous donor. Though there are things in place such as the daily download limits in order to help keep bandwidth usage down.

Always did wonder how this place stayed up without any ads or donations or anything like that... nice to see that someone's apparently kind enough to handle all the costs themselves.

Well, way I see it the hierarchy goes Yuri > Yaoi > Het, so as long as there's some sort of gay involved then that's a Good Thing.

I have to say that I feel exactly the same way.

Hmm, what does that "drawing job" thing in the end mean? The only thing I can think of is, you know, a job where you draw stuff, but that doesn't really make sense... Also, what's the secret that Haruka's hiding again?

Seeing Yuu kabedon-ing Haruka was unexpected, great, and unexpectedly great. Here's hoping it happens again in the future.
