Seeking AVN recommendations. (Magic/Gods/Powerful MC)

Hey, so I'm looking for a few different storyline-type things. They don't have to all be in the same story, just ones that fit each category. I'll break down each in its own separate section and any specifics involved with that "theme." For all of these, I would like to try to avoid really bad graphic ones as well as those that are heavy grind/sandbox. I prefer limited to no sandbox/grind, but if there is only a little bit, that's fine (or if it's avoidable with an available mod or something that works too). Oh, yeah, the biggest thing: I don't want it to have cuckolding, at least on the MC's side. That is the 1 thing that I am 100% sure I will not budge on. I'm not big on content that the MC is basically made out to be weak or everyone's bitch. I'm also not into sharing content with other men. If it's a harem game, I don't mind the whole "share within the harem" thing where the other females in the harem sleep with each other; that doesn't bother me, just not "Hey, fuck my wife/partner, or they do that (and the MC sticks with them.)


Magic: I'd like to find really good stories where the MC can use magic. And not just weak-level magic; I'd like to find ones where the MC becomes powerful, if not the most powerful.
A few examples I could think of off the top of my head would be stuff like The Coven by Former Flame, maybe Realm Invader? if I'm remembering correctly.

Godhood: Another good story's I'd like to find is ones where the MC is either a god among mortals or a demigod. It can be either unknowingly or knowingly living among mortals. Basically just some badass, godlike MC trope with a good story. An example I could think of off the top of my head would be Nephilim (though I don't know how he's considered a Nephilim since he's not the son of an angel, if I recall).

Vampire: I'd love to find more badass vampire MC recommendations. Those like sinful vampire, The Revanant: Bite, Rebirth, The Seven Realms, and those similar to this. It doesn't matter if they start out powerful or become powerful over the course of the story, but I don't want it to be that they are just a pansy the entire story/majority because, yeah (just personal preference).

Demon/angel or half-breed of either: Those kin dof like Game of Hearts. I'd like him to slowly get more and more powerful, as they should, being either angel or demon or half-breed. Again sticking with the whole badass trope of MC.

Badass MC: As stated in almost all the sections, the MC would like to be a badass. Either very powerful or one of, if not the most powerful. While I'd prefer it being in one of the tropes above, it'd be fine if it wasn't, as long as the story is good.


Thank you to anyone who takes the time to give suggestions or even stop by and give the thread a read.

Hey, quick question..
How vanilla would you say Eternum is?
It looks beautiful and I REALLY want to play it, but it has a few.. spooky tags (though, no ntr so I'm very happy with that)
its amazing tbh. Graphics are great, story is good as well, and its also an interesting story/world build basically.
What tags are you worried about? If i knew which specifically i could give you a run down of what happens (with as little spoilers as possible)


Male MC, I suppose?
Sorcerer - magic, halfbreed
Love of Magic - magic, godhood (sandbox, but one of the best)
Eternum - magic, 1 of the others
Tribulations of a Mage - magic
Vae Victis - badass
Once in a Lifetime - demon/halfbreed
Rebirth - vampire (haven't played this)

Female MC:
Left Hand Magic - magic
Non Monstrum - magic, halfbreed, godhood (female/futa MC)
The "Luna" series - magic, badass
Iv played sorcer, Eternum, ToaM, Rebirth, and Left Hand Magic all of those are great. Iv looked into Love of magic and was partially intrigued but doesnt that have a ton of minigames and stuff you have to play and grind heavy? Ill have to look into the rest tho!


Hmm it seems more like just a hentai gams (all about fucking others). It also seems to not have the best graphics... Am i correct to assume that its mostly not about the story?

Well you asked for a non-sharing badass MC with little gameplay, so this came to mind (although I can't guarantee the succubus can be restrained). I don't play VNs, especially male-MC, so I can't compare to others. But I will say that writing-wise, this is probably above average, and it does have a plot besides "fuck every woman".

Oh, one big caveat come to think of it. Later in the story, MC gets femdommed pretty hard. He bounces back and gets revenge, but just so you know.

Here's one with badass dragon MC.

Pretty vanilla overall:

I think the only real minigames are the battles, and I think these are avoidable. It's kinda similar with Vae Victis, the battles can be instantly won.

I know it's amazing from how many people recommend it, but I wanted to make sure that it was wholesome first, since the tags are a bit scary..
Ya it is tbh. its mostly centered around the story itself. while there is sex and stuff in it 90%+ of it is about the story.
i also can attest to what Jaike said. in terms of avns its pretty vanilla and i think you can have as many or little li as you want.

oh i think either i mispoke or didnt explain right but im mostly looking for ones focused on the story (i typed that all out when i had no sleep for 2 days so thats probably on me. ill checkout that suggestion tho.

Oh cool ill check it out then. i heard it was pretty good but the minigames always put me off but if its skippable ill give it a go

Kinks vs. vanilla - mostly vanilla. I know there's 1 character who's into rough sex, but that's still in a slow-burn romance arc.
Harem vs. monogamy - the VN is strongly slanted to harem, but it's avoidable. You can avoid getting into a harem without jerkish options, but some of the options to lower your scores are a bit tone deaf. You can just pick the right ones tho. I only have playthroughs with 1 LI and 2 LIs.
Those tags - It's a fantasy/scifi mystery story with a heavy dose of action movie and a hidden dark setting. Blackmail, drugs, and sexual harassment aren't things the protagonist does, but that happens in the story or is done by antagonists. The protagonist can get with a prostitute, he doesn't pimp anyone.
Thanks! This sounds super sweet and I LOVE avoidable harems.
I'll add this to my watchlist, and hopefully I can play it soon!

Well its official iv worked through all the recomendations, Heres what i can say about the ones listed:

Sorcerer - Already played before did enjoy it. To be honest i enjoyed all of Talothral's games.
Love of Magic - I started to play, but keeping track of everything and trying to have fun with the sandbox/freeroam kind of made that challenging. I wasnt able to get through it sadly. I might try again at some point.
Eternum - Iv played it before the recommendation (like eternum), and i can say i quite enjoy this one. Its got good story and amazing renders/animations/graphics.
Tribulations of a Mage - Im currently playing this already, iv played upto 0.38 (tho i see as of this moment 0.39.1 is currently on here)
Vae Victis - Actually i must have overlooked this one as i havent played it yet (will probably get to that sometime soon tho the premise looks nice)
Once in a Lifetime - Like most of the above iv already played this one, and i quite enjoyed it if i recall (its been a while)
Rebirth - Tbh i loved this one, I have played this one multiple times trying to get the different endings etc, and its quite nice. I kind of wish it didnt end when it did cause i wanted to see what the MC became in the future!!!!
Left Hand Magic - This is one i havent played all of yet, but what i have played i do enjoy.
Non Monstrum - Oh i forgot this one as well, tho from looking at it ik why. The graphics kinda push it further down the list as well as the futa thing, but honestly im willing to give most games a try long as they seem interesting. An example i recently tried was Gods Call. While that has a lot of futa (since the whole world basically looks female), i was still able to enjoy it due to the fact the MC looked more feminate boy rather than a female outright, as well 90% of the futa content was optional (seeing a chick with a dick).
The "Luna" series - With this on i anted to ask, Is the male on female content optional? If so i might give it a go. I find if i play a female MC i like to stay with "Lesbian" LI's if at all possible.

If it helps anyone to suggest games this is currently my games list that im either activly playing or enjoyed, tho a few might be reminants that i forgot to delete (need to go through and delete the ones i didnt enjoy tbh).
