Because Japan can't write for shit
Why does every other VN feels so souless after reading this one?
What is a VN that isnt just about romancing some dumb animes, like is there any game on that format of choosing options and mostly reading that doesnt involve just anime cliches and romance? Maybe solving a mistery or something interesting
Hotel Dusk
Ace Attorney
Ghost Trick
Katawa Shoujo was decent, but for every good western VN there's like 50 superior VNs from Japan.
Too many m8, but only if you know Japanese.
>Why does every other VN feels so souless after reading this one?
Because it was your first VN you enjoyed and you're expecting every other one to hit the same beats as KS while only playing what the VN casuals on Yea Forums recommended. I don't know what the fuck you're doing reading Grisaia, KnS, Yume Miru and Fate if you want a "down to earth story" like you said. There's VNs like Narcissu, Kana Imo, ef, Shinigami no Kiss, almost every Key VN and more that completely shit on KS, which is also a great one itself.
There are thousands of VNs out there, and if you can't find another one to enjoy then that's your fault.
SOON
Sometimes gore, rape and other dark shit do make a good story tho, read Wonderful Everyday
Higurashi
Umineko
Dies irae if you like chunni
Play Steins;Gate, and then Umineko.
>grisaia
moe slice-of-life crap
>kara no shoujo
edgy guro shit
>yume miru
pretty much a nukige
It's your own fault for picking such shitty games to play first.
