Things are still pretty rough and busy on my side so I don't have much to write about, especially in terms of new VN playthroughs. This probably won't change until the end of the year but we'll see how it goes.
The only update I have for this month is the addition of the recently released unofficial translation for Folie Fatale to our VN Patch List. Once again, thanks to @Berin@discuss.tchncs.de for posting about it.
If anyone else knows about any unofficial translations or patches worth adding to the list, please let me know. We can always use more of them!
That's all for today. I can't way until I'm in shape to read... anything really.

Recently started streaming myself translating Hatoful Boyfriend (JP -> EN). I don't play tons of visual novels, but I really love Hatoful Boyfriend in particular so this has been a dream for me for a while. For those not familiar, it follows the story of the lone human girl at Saint PidgeoNation's Institute. You attend classes, meet wonderful and interesting birds, and eventually decide on a special someone. It kinda feels like it was made with a budget of literally $0 + a whole bunch of one person's time, but that doesn't stop it from being a fun time.
edit: I got the end credits. I looks like a shocking number of people worked on this.

I've been reading Carrot's Our Wonderland and am currently in Act 3.
The summary: As the title suggests, it's a story inspired by Alice in Wonderland except the group of kids who visited said wonderland are now grown adults in their 30s with typical adult problems. A certain incident leads them to return to the wonderland of their childhood once again and things go wrong. so wrong. There are also timeloop shenanigans.
The story is especially interesting to me since it features a male asexual protagonist and that fact is discussed in a lot of detail in the text.
So far it's a lot more brutal than I expected lmao The first arc is very generous with the violence and torture, and paired with the protag being a damsel in distress, it has a slight sadistic feel to it imo. That changes a lot later on it seems, as the protag claims more agency over the narrative.
I'm really curious how this is going to end. I'm playing about half an arc at a time.
If you're curious about this VN definitely check out the CW beforehand!
