Name me some translated vn which have these. etc

There is severe lack of those translated i do agree, actually this one should be one of the better examples of things that actually got translation. i can get by with non translated VNs on some level using mtl since not being native Englsih speaker it does not grate my nerves as much and i can understand 80-90% of whats going on.

That's how it looks to you because it's not your fetish. You don't grok it, so you're overlooking that just as with the romantic stories you mentioned, the build-up is often the point in itself. I can assure that many fans of mind control do not just see it as a shortcut to the sex going by the amount of MC "porn" where the sex itself is an afterthought, or even not shown at all, just implied.
At least on my end it was never about the fetish itself, but the boatload of wasted potential, guys like you applaud every time some ntr or in this case hypno wank gets shat out there and "serves your fetish". You are not going to get better content with that attitude.

I tried that very early on as we got the first wave of mtl "official translations" in the sakuragame days. And even though i'm not native myself. Reading the prefix "-san" translated to "teacher" drove me so hard up the wall i never even wanted to read fan made mtl afterwards. :O

if he really makes some effort to get good grades and then has some relationship with girls, that would be somewhat inspiring.
but then just hypnosis.
i still don't get the preference for hypnosis.
While I can't tell you why it might be popular outside Japan, I can tell you why it is in Japan:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
It is a deeply rooted angst that the male Japanese feels about his inability to get the girl by his own means, that it is appealing to have a narrative device that gives the girl to the reader. Take away the responsibility and you take away the angst and it makes for a relaxing reading.

I found that book (quoted in the spoiler) after I had a conversation with a female friend that married a Japanese man and pretty much what she told me in her experience is what it says in the page quoted. Once her husband started living outside Japan she had an easier time breaking him out of his shell.

I personally don't understand the kink. Is a LI truly a LI if she doesn't want to be one?

As Zaq Reman above mentioned it's not about real feelings, it's exactly about bending someone while ignoring their feelings. and by all means hypnosis is dark and strong fetish, it's worse than rape in regards on violence over certain person since it's not only brings bodily but also mental harm you can even exaggerate and say it's same as murder since you basically remove any agency affected party might have often making them into unthinking doll to play with. It's pure domination. But that's the point - as any other fetish hypnotism have it's audience and they love it for all above-mentioned points. That's not about getting laid, it's about having power over someone.
I guess that way of looking at it might explain why western publishers cuck out before translating that stuff this often? I honestly never even thought that deep about it, because it isn't explored in this way usually at all. And literally just used as a switch during scenes like on a remote. Which i find very fapable, sure but by god can i not at all take something doing that seriously. I would gladly have something as dark as you describe it and see how that would go, just like you could do it with ntr as well.

But you never get it and so there comes a point where you just start to make jokes about shit which has wasted your time, and it's potential this often in the past, this is why i started to stay away from most if not all that stuff. Not even wanting to go into hetero games forcing gay or ntr into their stories, holy crap.. :O

Eh, if textractor is translating something weirdly i just take note and mentally fix it to be what it should be as i read. i don't need precise words to read through flow of conversation. And i am talking dozens of VNs here, so i guess it's just personal tolerance.

That might well be. I did have issues with shitty lip sync in the past and seemed to be the only one bothered by it, so i think my tolerance level is pretty low with technical, or writing fuck-ups. :D

Welp :O
As long as they do not alter content, that is the compromise we have to deal with, i guess...

Oh - But I fully admit I am an incurable helpless romantic lunatic. I just reacted on the remark that hypnosis is not a shortcut, because I think it is. Other than that I said It's a shame that this VN has some nice artwork, because it's not my taste. But trust me as I say that the former is a strictly personal taste without any judgment about other tastes out here. As I said before - It's good that this VN makes other people than me happy. Nothing against that for sure...

I know that feeling since i generally dislike female protagonist games so every time i see something interesting and then it's "female protagonist"- me: oh shit, here we go again. so yea, everyone looking for something they like and not everything is for everyone.

edit: and shortcut stuff depends on perception and things you looking for, so that's entirely subjective

Speaking of - you can lookup "Penlight" it's here on f95. Fwiw it is a decent exploration of hypnotism, while it have no actual sexual content (aside from mild nudity) it have some interesting ideas. It also suffers from author moral standpoint thoguh(a lot of unsatisfying endings if you force things) but i think people can get something out of it as exploration of the fetish at least.

Norton will almost always give you false positives because it's a low quality antivirus that relies almost wholly on advertising to stay alive.

Finally...
A VN with a drawing style i like, without shitty tags.
Everytime i see a VN that is not drawn like a bug-eyed moege i must always deal with some NTR or other crappy stuff.
