If you are looking for a good romance manhwa with a story, try Love Limit Exceeded. Not much soap, interesting characters and top-notch art style.

How you think,should we hs avns 2025 awards?
For now,I have a few categories in mind
Best vn released in 2025(Game of the year) sounds better
Best rookie dev(Means he released his first game in 2025 without taking a part in other vn projects before)
Best dev(Caribdis would win with a 99% chance,cuz he's the most popular one)
I would count your votes via strawpoll,and would have to choose just 1 option

I'm in. But how can we organize it in a way to make it any impactful, I mean four or five people vote will be too boring
I would like to add
Best completed game (of this year)
Best honorary completed games (because we didn't have the award for those previous years)
Best update
Best main character:if one character already has an award, they are paring from joining the competition again
Best love interest: same as best main character
Best sex scene
Best story
Also only game with updates in the year are allow to participate

I think we will have like ~100 votes This thread is bigger than it looks like,but in case of not getting enough,I'll find the way to share it in main threads

Best completed game (of this year)

Were there any besides deadmoon survival

Best update

I like it,you also mean all the updates released in this year if there were more than 1?
And I +- like the others,but I think for love interests and sex scenes there will be too many options to fit.

My real desire end on January 2025, so there is two, and we have a few fillter throwing in
The Intergim Domain also dropping its true ending, I mean harem ending
And Depth Revival, as well
So we have like 4, that's enough

About the best update stuff, I think we should have some filter condition, like update need to be longer that 1 hour, since most game will just drop between 6 months and more, I don't think we will has that much update anyway

And about the numeber of voters, just promote in game's post, there will be surely enough people who want to prove the dev they support is better (that's me)

And I think it makes sense to start it in January,because Eternum update will be released in 1-2 weeks and still got a chance for new horizon. And then we can ask about the best update
For now,I can start game of year poll,because I doubt something major will appear in last two weeks

 

[RadicalGuy]

Well, I know what game shouldn't win in "Best Love Interest" category - The Nexus. I haven't seen such nicely done LI's butchering in a while.
The question regarding HS AVN rewards is - do you want to focus on updates/releases in 2025 only or you want to consider all content for games with update/initial release in 2025?
Based on that we can talk about categories etc.

EDIT:
and we need some conditions, so we won't have something like

You must be registered to see the links

where over half of awards went to Eternum

expedition 33 will sweep these awards too smh

 

[Finuee]

[...] planning an executing a good ending is a very important part of writing a story. [...]

I couldn't agree more. I always start with the climax scene, then build the rest of the story from that.

Macron paid me so expedition 33 will take everything

 

[resgar]

Companion of Darkness was leaked. ch12 is posted here. Thread just updated. https://f95zone.to/threads/companion-of-darkness-s2-ch-12-berkili4.154533/

 

[drago42069]

damn ch 12 of companion of darkness was actually goated

 

[Padorublad3]

I'm not gonna play it soon,but I trust your takes,so I'll up CoD to B+ for now(Not a because of poor graphics)

 

[resgar]

It has many flaws. Floating graphics and scene quality, writing, cringe jokes, etc etc. I will not delve into it. And, probably, B is quite generous score. In general. But. It has an adventure very little of other avns here has.

CoD - S+ in my book just for adventure, setting and vibes it delivers. I'm quite fond of it. Closest from your banners is probably New Horizon. NH is better in many terms, but CoD has much more content already released.

 

[drago42069]

the visual has approved a lot in season 2 and like the guy above me said, I'm in it for the adventure and damn is it good.

 

[RadicalGuy]

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like chapter 12 of CoD.
Hell, since MC and Noel reunited it seems like everyone become dumber? Brotherhood is at war with Legion and we need to go to hideout - let's use truck instead of just going there. Argument with truck masking MC's presence? So suddenly having multiple Companions doesn't work like that.
Also, why solve the issue with High Order leadership (I forgot his name - Sikel or something like that) even though that would take like what - hour or two? Heck, even if you spent a whole day on solving this, we are going to ignore that and just hope that it won't bite us in the ass later. Speaking of High Order - this Senator either conviced everyone in power that after destroying High Order they will just give his control over new organisation or he is super delusional.
Lastly - MC is rule breaker, he supposed to be super powerful. Unless we have someone who is more special than MC (Clara), who is in possesion of special sword. Then MC is no longer special nor powerful. Every major conflict or event happens without MC. Why are we even here? To fuck the shit up and then fix it?

 

[resgar]

Several Companions being close make it harder to identify, but power will be there exposed in the area, truck will supress that completely

Sikel Senior is cunning bastard, probably flee long before we get him. Also he is not worth the effort. And, obviously, also Clara main cast LI, so she takes priority. All world can wait and burn until Clara is free. Also he is politician, i'm sure he will lie, bribe and blackmail his way as he see fit. He made that before, (He IS a senator and current acting leader of HO after all) i dont see we he is not capable to do it again. Do you know many politicians who actually got accounted for their crimes? In human history their numbers actually quite low, FYI.

MC is not super powerful. He never was, and currently is not. Sure, he is Companion of a Primordial and can bend some rules and gain some skills, but power flow he currently has even not on par with current(nerfed) Emma. He ll win against her just by skills and Amy' s ability. So, no, he is kinda special, but, not OP. Not until we get the The Pearl. And even then, i think, some new shit happens, lol.

As to "why" Well, it is kinda whole premise of adventure. We are going rounds and rounds trying to help who dear to us and fix our own life. And, as you noticed, shit happens costantly, even without our input. Just as IRL. Or special nature and super powers helping solve some issues while also arise several more. That is making this adventure interesting.

I agree, the only thing I don't quite understand is the purpose of Gab and Nael's obsession with him. I like the character of Gab, but he takes up a lot of attention in the story, and he looks much better compared to MC, who also stole the best girl in VN!!! In a good way, he should have died epic and dramatic a long time ago to let the main character grow and start Nael's drama, but the author is clearly dragging it out.
