I just learnt about VNR existing so a bunch of VNs that I wanted to read but was never translated just opened up to me for me to try out. That also means I can try out VNs, hypno and non-hypno, as well but I’m not sure where to find them (the former mostly). I’m curious where you all get your material from.
The first ones I wanna try out would be Saimin Enbu and Saimin Yuugi but the only source I found for the former is from 2013 with the links not working anymore. If you can help me out with that too I’d very much appreciate that!

To find games i usually use <<www.dlsite.com/index.html?locale=en_US|DLsite>> (and especially <<www.dlsite.com/maniax/fsr...how_type/1/from/fs.detail|the hypnosis tag>>), and to download them (and find translations) i use <<f95zone.to/|F95Zone>> and <<ulmf.org/|ULMF>>

Also if you want to play your untranslated game nonetheless, you can use either Translator++ (though not sure it works on VNs), or the Textractor + Translation Aggregator combo (but Translation Aggregator's support for bing translator and google translator broke so you must use yandex, that's a real shame :/ )

You can buy both from DLSite.



Wow, you can find translations on F95Zone? And I've never heard of ULMF... This is interesting. All this time, I've been finding indie English hypno VNs on patreon, subscribestar, and general word of mouth, and just resigning myself to not understanding what the Japanese VNs are saying.

How do you use yandex to work on Textractor?

Apparently you can get deepL to work with it

If you want to get the free trial versions of Saimin Yuugi and Saimin Enbu to check if the experience is as good as you're expecting, the official source is eroge.jp/demo/staffing/ (the 体験版 columns).

Yeah F95Zone is a super easy and efficient way to find games to download in an easily playable well tagged translated state.
I have <<f95zone.to/latest/#/cat=games/page=1/tags=111|the link for mind-control game updates>> bookmarked. Note that you can also have it ordered by rating or popularity. You do need to watch out for games only having a single hypno scene and thus stupidly being tagged as mind control, but in general the tagging is pretty good.
If you want Japanese translated games in particular or any other genre you just need to add the relevant tags.
