Muv-Luv Extra is a generic high school rom-com, Muv-Luv Unlimited is a “coming-of-age” story in an alternative timeline where instead of a high schooler, you are a military cadet in a UN base with the same cast of characters. The Muv-Luv trilogy even amongst other VNs is an anomaly, Muv-Luv consists of two games: Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited. So unless you are a coomer sex addict or an outlaw who pirates video games, there’s no excuse for you to prefer the “Original” version over the “All Ages” version. It is also an eroge because it’s original release contains sex-scenes, the Muv-Luv trilogy that is sold on Steam is the “All ages” version, meaning that it doesn’t contain any sex-scene whatsoever, which means that if you hate porn but love visual novels, you can enjoy playing Muv-Luv without the fear of having to encounter a sex-scene. The Muv-Luv trilogy is a traditional Visual Novel, meaning that it’s an interactive text game with CGs, character sprites, and choices that lead to different routes. Having said that, let’s move on to Muv-Luv itself.
I would also like to note that I am staunchly against consuming any form of pornography whatsoever, whether it is in text, game, or video form. I can hear some of you clicking your tongues thinking VNs are for degenerate porn addicts, but if that was the case, then by that logic all novels would be porn novels since a considerable amount of novels do contain pornographic pages even though the other 99% of the novel has nothing to do with porn. However, although all coomer glorified porn games are eroges, not all eroges are merely glorified porn games. Games such as G-senjou no Maou (The Devil on G-String, don’t worry it’s not about a demon that wears a thong, it’s referring to August Wilhelmj's "Air on the G String") and Kara No Shojo are considered as eroges because they contain sex-scenes. One other note that I hate to mention is that some VNs are referred to as “H-Games” or “eroge”, meaning that these games contain +18 erotic content. 90%), are Japanese games that are translated from Japanese to English, very few Visual Novels are originally made in English, the Letter and Lucid 9 are examples of Visual Novels that are originally made in English, not Japanese (both are good games in their own right, and both are available on Steam!). Another detail that one must mention is that most visual novels (est. For example, Steins Gate is a “romance game” in the sense that there are branching paths of each girl’s route, but the main story is not at all about romance but it’s about time travel and erasing mistakes that come as a result of time travel (utilizing the “butterfly effect”). Most Visual Novels are in a way romance games, Muv-Luv is one of them, but romance is usually not the main point.
MUV LUV BETA ORIGINS SERIES
The “Narcissu” Series is a VN classic that is available on steam for free. After losing my old articles due to republic standard (An online magazine with a conservative bent) being shut down, I come back to the world of writing by presenting to you my review of Muv-Luv that will contain some spoilers, but nothing game-breaking.
The origins are just as interesting as the phenomenon itself: Would you believe me if I told you that the source of this comes from a private account on Twitter that barely has any followers? You wouldn’t, would you? But I was there when it kickstarted. On top of being fringe, a considerable amount of Orthodox Christians on Twitter (which I will brand as “Orthotwitter” from now on) are infatuated with a Visual Novel called “Muv-Luv”, and while you’d expect trends to come and go, Muv-Luv is not a mere trend but has become a somewhat ever-lasting phenomenon that has been going on for months. Orthodox Christianity is the 3rd largest Christian Denomination in the world behind Roman Catholicism, yet it is still a somewhat “fringe” religion, what I mean by fringe is that your average normie is probably familiar with what Roman Catholicism or Protestantism at least looks like, yet Orthodox Christianity does not have that kind of luxury that Roman Catholics and Protestants enjoy other than being a “Russian/Greek thing”.
