Most of the time peoples problem is with kinetic novels, that and believing all VNs are dating sims like a lot of Yea Forums does
S;G though is very good, anime not so much after reading the VN. Cut too many corners.

subahibi did everything umineko tried to do while actually having a satisfying conclusion in roughly 1/3 as many words

ryukishi never recovered after his best friend/gay lover/editor died halfway through chiru, and rewriting chapter 3 to pander to the audience was already a serious blow

I don't think so, EP3 was fine and Chiru is good but let's agree to disagree.

name 1 single VN were the romance felt less forced than in SG
Okabe and Kurisu clearly had good chemistry

The reason for this is that shit like Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick, Danganronpa, etc, isn't really the same format as a traditional VN. Those games are much shorter and get to the meat and potatoes faster rather than hitting you with slice of life stuff for several hours or introducing characters for hundreds of pages worth of reading.

Ace Attorney and Danganronpa are the only VNs I like because I enjoy the mystery solving and logic puzzles more than the actual reading.

Never been able to enjoy an actual VN because I'd genuinely rather just read a book. At least I can take books with me or read it while listening to something. VNs force me to sit and stare at the screen for the same experience. I know I'm a casual disappointment, I'm sorry.

I like Umineko because even though you don't play the game, you are doing detective work with logic IRL like an actual proper novel. The red truth really adds a "gameplay" element for the player. It's hard to describe.

You might like Kara no Shoujo. It's like Phoenix Wright if Phoenix got to put his dick in anything with a vagina.

TFW Tsukihime has no place in a post Sharin no Kuni world

I see what you mean there, but Umineko has the downside of me of making absolutely zero sense in any synopsis I read. I am totally on board with the mysterious island murders and proving they aren't magical. I am totally NOT on board with shit like Battler becoming a god of reality and the witch being a long dead crossdresser who looks nothing like the witch. Too far off the rails. Maybe the game justifies it all but god damn I don't see how.

That sounds at least mildly entertaining. If the gameplay is similar I might end up having fun with it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Mostly music that fits the mood or events of the book like a soundtrack. The main difference between that and reading a VN is the physical book doesn't make me stare at a screen for 100 hours.

Maybe don't read a synopsis? Why would you do that for an entire game you haven't read?

>Tsukihime? Ah...what a vn...I wonder...if they ever got around..to that re

Attached: tothegreatbeyond.jpg (1565x971, 855K)

because I wanted to know if it was actually interesting enough to warrant spending a hundred hours staring at text and character portraits on a screen. I've never cared about spoilers, its the journey, not the destination, etc.

I can breeze through a physical 600 page book in like 5 hours and still fully comprehend it, so it's a little different and I don't mind wasting such a small amount of time on a shitty book. I gotta know if the long ass VN is worth it though.

>lmao Subahibi peaks during the Takuji chapter
maybe if you like lolrandom bullshit, but the actual peak is tomosane

>swans AND R11
I'd fuck this guy

except that umineko deliberately calls you a stupid goat for actually trying to think about the mysteries as a game instead of a character story

this is why the red truth is complete bullshit where if you just pretend you're someone else it no longer applies to you, meaning literally any theory is possible by just saying something like "battler was using an alias at the time he killed everyone with his dad"

Far Side or Near Side?
Explain your answer

Based seacatposter

the main strength of tsukihime being a visual novel is watching how wildly shiki's life changes from small initial changes, as well as all the details that only make sense once you find something out in another route, this is why the game mostly lets you do routes in any order with only some basic gatekeeping of at least one near side before at least one far side and hisui before kohaku, and also what makes esclipe such a great eplilogue

all of the routes are good, even the much complained about initial similiarity between arc and ciel is overplayed, as after nero goes down things go wildly off the rails. playing a VN and having the main heroine and title character go from your love interest to a yandere antagonist or someone who doesn't even get any screen time at all is a really brave move and it would lose a lot of impact in a more linear story, which is part of the reason why the tsukihime anime is so fucking bad and why the manga settled for only briefly referencing the other routes when it could and ends up feeling much different as a result

Far Side just has stronger character writing and more hard hitting moments, from the early Sacchin bits to literally all of the endings.
Near Side presents a cool setting and some good elements, but the only real accomplishment there is Arc as a memorable character.

Kara no Shoujo is still a traditional VN, but it has a couple of things in its somewhat like PW and other adventure games. There are parts where you investigate murder scenes to gather evidence, and parts where you present evidence or pick out suspects to investigate that determines what happens next. Just be aware that it's still mostly reading and has a few obtuse parts where you'll probably get stuck and need to use some guide because you didn't click the right thing the right number of times before the scene ended. It's an excellent mystery though.

This is a pretty shit take.

Most visual novels are fluff for 20+ hours before they eventually get good. What are some VNs that are consistently enjoyable? I just finished the three main Grisaia titles recently and pretty much enjoyed those all the way through.

I never said they had to conform to my personal taste. I'm merely asking for other people's tastes. So? What about you, user?

I'm talking about how you talk about fluff and then say how you enjoyed Grisaia

But uh, whatever. Planetarian, but the first two recs were good too

Ah, well, I won't deny the first one had a lot of fuckin fluff before getting to the point. I felt the sequels were better about that since all the preliminary shit is out of the way. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get kinda bored of the back and forth before you could start accessing routes.

It never really does, there's a very convoluted twist that makes no fucking sense but the whole story is just pointless and most of the character development / world building is completely useless
