Regarding the Demon Daughter Picture Book, I guess a more accurate translation might be Demon Girls Beastiary. I can help translate some of the names for the areas, if you provide me a list of the names in Japanese.
Which text hooker are you using for these, by the way? I tried both ITH v2 and v3, and I'm stuck with lots of phrase repetition and no good way to stop it. Otherwise it seems to be working great though

Alright, thanks. Thought it might be something like that. And yeah, I'm working on trying to get a list of place names now...I guess I'll just parse one name manually then sic Crass on every dxa I can find until I find one with map name data.
Ah, when I tried it with AGTH it just started the game with a black screen. That's probably just me not knowing anything about AGTH though, so I'll read through the manual and troubleshoot it later on. Probably something to do with privileges and file locations and trying to hook a gamepad at the same time anyway.

Note: My translation are, at best, estimates because I understand Mandarin and the meanings can be relatively similar. Some translations are from Google Translate and some liberties were taken. Feel free to correct me.
Oh wow, thanks a ton. I was still trying to figure out how to hook those or drag them out of the game files somehow. I'll see if I can't start matching names to the map files then.
But already it looks like we have some general themes, which is what I was hoping for. So now, for instance, we can say the Hall of Mirrors is in an inn outside of old town and so on.
You create a shortcut to AGTH, but instead of adding the path to the executable as an argument you add /PNxxx where xxx is the process name (for some games the process name is not the same as the application name).
So the full shortcut in this case, as I've got agth in my program files folder is:

It's nothing much. 天想図書館 was quite hard for me to translate. I had to take some liberties as 天想 translates literally to Sky Thought and Google Translate wasn't much help. Hopefully, it is acceptable.
I feel like writing a guide but I'll need to go through it again to make sure I can trigger most, if not all, the events on NG+. No promises.
Edit: Right, so this "ジュウジー" is the katakana for 十字 which means cross, probably. So I'm not too far off. I don't think.
not sure how good this pic will turnout this is my first time doing it....the girl on the left is one of the ones that is says i ran into but i don't remember running into her and i can't find her. The one on the right is the spaces that i was talking about by alot of empty areas

The stone girl on the left if I remeber right is the big thing in the background in the green area where you first meet lamias and spiders, your encounter with her is in the area where you first get the red dress girl. She's the one where you end up trapped and then she takes a massive, steaming and petrifying piss on you. Before the scythe girl shows up to have some fun with your "rock hard" form.

Look at your pic on the left, see how it has the "????" That means there's an entry there you don't have. See how the pic on the right just have "-------" That means nothing goes into those spaces. The one in white could be a placeholder for a girl yet to be put into the game or just a mistake the dev made.

I looked at some of the ones you had trouble with and they all make sense to me. Your ジュウジー seems just fine, if nothing else because it happens to be very descriptive of the room itself.
And considering how often the same questions get asked I'm sure it'd be welcome. Drakeero made a basic guide on pages 9 and 13 that you could compare against, but something more comprehensive certainly couldn't hurt (and with the new versions some things may have changed).
For instance, I'm still pretty confident that the other "love" contracts haven't been added yet, but if they have and they're just well hidden that'd be news to us.
It was mentioned that for the Chaos Form, to get her masturbation, you need to visit the Hot Springs Room and get scenes from there. Now is there a specific point for that or can you get the scenes after acquiring her for the 1st time?
Another thing, does anyone have any clue on what the statues hanging about in certain areas such as the ones in Junk Town's hot spring?

I can't remember if it's certain ones or just any hot springs at certain points in the game but I do know that you can get a scene shortly after getting her.
But the specific scene that gets you masturbation isn't a Hot Spring Room, it's a Inn that has a bath in the back of it. You'll know which one cause there won't be a wall on the right-hand side like normal Inns. This inn is hidden, and is located a bit later in the game. Either shortly before or after you fight the Mermaid boss.

I'm pretty sure it's by number of onsen and not specific ones, but I could be wrong. It was something I planned on checking in NG+ by avoiding the High Wall onsen, since I remember getting a scene there.
It's after you fight Marie (the mermaid) and get to the Old Town area. But yeah, I think the real question is whether you can get her ability without visiting/viewing any of the onsen scenes. The two may be entirely unrelated. From the trouble people have been having with it I'm guessing they are in fact related, but then the issue might just be people being unable to find the hall of mirrors. Hopefully the little map I did earlier will clear that up once and for all.
Speaking of maps, I've been busy. I cobbled together all the maps in the game into one big map which has most (hopefully all) of the false walls showing. No items yet, but it's next on the list. I figure at the very least it'll turn into some of the metroidvania kind of item walkthroughs you see around which should cover HP, MP, SP, and Key items.
I referenced the map data I pulled from maps.dxa pretty heavily on it, so I'm hoping I caught everything (but if not just let me know and I'll fix it). This is also why you'll see some areas that the player normally can't access or unveil, like the hidden area around the observatory that was driving me nuts. It should be noted that I know of no way to get into these areas at this time, and only filled in details based on the map data (like mp regen points and doors).
I'll work on it and clean it up a bit more as I have time, like removing any lingering "you are here" dots and patching some holes up to make it look more consistent. In the meantime, if anyone gets some time before I get around to it feel free to fill it in as you see fit.
By the way, since this does have most of the hidden areas revealed, spoilers if you care about that sort of thing.
To-do list:
-More clean up
-Pure's room, Witch Battle, Harpy Battle.
-Finish item locations
-Map key
-Contracts available per map (monsters/map)
-Finish identifying blue doors as shop/restaurant/inn/onsen/etc
-Make better/smaller icons for shop/restaurant/inn/onsen
-Finish identifying red doors if they require a certain affinity
-Figure out what font the game uses
-Add Merc's area names
-Add area tilesets for orientation
-Recommend memo points for the feather
-Credits
And not necessarily. Even in hard mode there's generally a good spot where you can back off to and just shoot bullets to restore your change orbs during the first phase or so. (since you get one charge on your spare orb for each thing you kill - and a bullet counts as a thing). Priestess PureLove with some spammy minions (I tend to use witches) can create a great bullet wall that charges the orb, defends against projectiles, and can do good damage if the boss hops into it.
Technically you can even just put on a sword girl contract and sit in a safe corner during one of her forms to charge up if you're patient...but it's a rather long wait. Though if you make it to the last couple lifebars with a change orb or two of your own, a high affinity Pure2's special skill can kill the boss before it even does the second map change.
Also good to know about the Pureskill 2.
