Hmm Interesting that no one ever posted here. I am trying to improve my Japanese by playing some games as it worked great for me and English. Has anyone done it here? Would anyone have any recommendation?

Well, Mii, I don't play games and taught myself Japanese using the Genki textbooks, so I can't myself help you.

And I did ask the veteran translators of the team, and though both play games in Japanese, both recommend just plain reading as the way forward. Momimomi-senpai did say he can recommend virtual novels to you if you tell him the genres you like.

Hmmm what do you mean when you say visual novel?

Ah, forget it, it's just eroge, I had forgotten that our Head Translator is a pervert…

Well, I think that would really help if you like them. I think I never found one that I would be eager to read through/ try to translate. Thanks for the tip, tough.

If you are thinking of translating something, how about our TL test? o:)

Well, I was trying that, but I was taking such a long time that I decided to take a long detour through Kanjis... I need to try the test again sometime.

Bah! Wraith didn't even post the link I gave to him.
Regarding "what" are visual novels, a picture is worth a thousand words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwO59VS7eZ8
Since you don't know kanji well, you can read VNs with a parser. Google: ITH, VNR, Chiitrans.

Hey, I resent that! There's Visual Novels without any porn content in it.
