When you read a visual novel, do you just install and start reading it, picking choices as your heart guides you, or do you check online for branches and follow a guide?
>>50413466Unless you're going for something specific I wouldn't use a guide. And in any case, I think that your first run should be as blind as possible.
No guide if straightforward. If getting into a route requires tricky flags and could waste times, then guide. If I don't feel like and want to exhaust all routes all by myself: guide.
>>50413466I do both by trying to predict what the guide would suggest, so I'm not missing outNeutral and bad ends are so boring
>>50413466looking up guides ruins the experience. It's better to make the choices that feel right and then experience the consequences of your actions. If you just follow a guide then the consequences don't feel so real.
>>50413466If it's a harem game then I just look at a guide. My main goal is to read all of the scenes, and I don't want to backtrack. If it's a mystery or thriller then I go in blind for obvious reasons.
