>>7202700529 hours, 9 people, 9 doorsShould have ended there. I played VLR which is a reddit favorite but i really didn't like the story or characters as much.
>>720270052>>>/lit/
I’m new to the genre but so far planetarium
>>720270052Does the Wolf Within count?
>>720270052 For me, it's Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Nothing else even comes close in terms of writing, meta-commentary, and sheer emotional payoff. It’s like reading a chess match between gods with murder mysteries layered under philosophy lectures. You either get filtered in Episode 3 or ascend in Episode 7.
>>720270052There's no such thing as a good VN. Read a book
>>720273714i got filtered by the entire answers arc. downgrade from questions arc especially episode 7
>>720270052Echo. I've only read one visual novel.
Kara no Shoujo mogs all
>>7202705203D was a mistake.
>>720274032are 2 and 3 worse than 1? im still at the start of 2 and wondering if its worth it
>>7202740742 is Very Good.3 is not nearly as strong as the first 2. There's a single moment in 3 that messed me up but nothing else hits hard
>>720270396Explain why Blue Archive's story is goodWhenever I asked my friend he would just say 'I can't spoil it, you just have to read it' so I just assumed he liked that it let you headpat cunny
It's MLA. Contrarians can fuck off.
>>720274074Actually I will clarify.2 is very good but the 6 hours of Slice of Life about Ayato at the beginning gets really old
>>720275195can i skip it?
>>720275290I honestly cant answer that.It's pertinent to the mystery, and characterizes several players in the story...But it didnt need to be so fucking long.
>>720273714I used to think that when I was 17
>>720270052it's gotta be Majikoi, I'm a sucker for the gintama-esque shitpost comedy.
>>720275413a VN enjoying gintamabro? Based nif you feel like joining a group I made bc 4chan can be tiring sometimes, see this. If not have a great one bro o7 pastebin.com/HQy6Antb
>>720270052it's babbys first vn but Yume Miru Kusuri still sticks with me after all this time
starless unironically
>>720270052muv-luv trilogy
>>720270052Baldr Sky, because i liked the gameplay. The story was cool too, but i've never finished it, had like 2 routes left.
>>720270052In order of atmosphere/immersion (the point of a VN)SSS: Tsukihime, Steins S: Witch on the Holy NightA: Fate, Umineko. B: Suzerain, Walter Bronte, Baldr Sky, Full metal Daemon C: Slay the PrincessF: The other 20,000 "waterhead mental midget loli Japanese school girls over-react to food and various other things in the mall around the greater Tokyo Metro Area" VNs that exist.
>>720270052From what I've read of Muramasa so far (the hero route), it's that. I absolutely love it. Of the vns I've actually finished, it's probably Tsukihime 2000.
>>720277009>Muramasai genuinely can't beleive anyone enjoys this shit
>>720270052>Kinomasathinking about reading muv luv but does it even come close being as good as Umineko and Muramasa
>>720277319I genuinely can't believe anyone doesn't
>>720277319it's basically reddit: the visual novel. safe evil, safe horny, all males are emasculated cucks, bog standard "revenge le bad" message.
Grisaia
>>720274301Your friend is rightbut in few words, the game effectively builds its themes in the first few chapters and takes them to great levels in the final chapter which is universally liked9/10 because the post-credits content is so-so due to a certain pikachu going mad
>>720278790Bullshit they were right. They literally refused to tell me ANYTHING. A story needs a hook
>>720277910
>>720270052can you guys suggest there any VNs with a pulpy, hardboiled feel if there are any? where you play as a private eye, or something.
>>720279192Hotel Dusk if you’ve never played it
>>720270052Dire Desires
>>720277319I thought so when I played the hag's route, everythinging else was pretty good, but not the kino I was led to believe
>>720279781Read the rest of it if you haven't.
>>720278871The hook is cute girls with guns.
>>720274301It’s good and it’s free. Story is accessible to all players. Gacha is too expensive for your poor ass so you don’t have to worry about that either
Has anyone read Cyanotype? Is it good? I recommend Mamiya.
>>720274301It isn't. There are 2 good volumes out of 6. BA players will eat up the rest of the trash that's been written, but that's just basic gachabrain sunk cost fallacy.I will give it to them that it's the closest feeling to the late 90s/00s VNs.
>>720283845Don’t listen to this jackass. Just because it’s a gacha, he hates it. I bet you he never even read it. Do you really want to listen to a guy who thinks like that?
>>720270052Not midmasa.
>>720281223>>720280341This is really just reinforcing my belief that nobody can explain why they like this shit. Imagine unironically saying "It's good because it's accessible to everyone"Like yeah chalk drawings on a sidewalk are accessible too but I wouldn't hold them up as peak fiction
>>720284750Jeez. Don’t fucking read it then. I don’t care anymore.
>>720270052SubaHibi. No contest.
>>720284750It's really not that deep, it's just a story about cute girls with guns in another world and your character is their teacher, most of the story is just their fun antics or chaotic daily life, but some chapters have emotional moments that people enjoy, be it because they pulled at their heart strings, or because Sensei's actions resonated with them, or they simply enjoyed the message.It isn't the best story ever written or anything, it's just fun with a touch of drama and with a wide variety of cute girls.
>killing good actually
>>720285773Well I was asking because a guy in the thread said it was the best VN every written literally right here: >>720270396But yeah I'm sure it's fine, thanks
>>720284523Exhibit A. Gachafags can't handle criticism.Volume 1 is barebones full of nothing, but fans go on about muh subtlety of choices (they don't really matter), but I can be lenient with it since it's basically the introduction to the world.Volume 1 part 3 is horrible all around.Volume 2 has only the fight against Toki going for it. GDD is memeshit and the members are horrible. Rio was right, but we need to push the hope themes, so we have to make her be wrong.Volume 3 is great, no complaints.Skipped Volume 4, I don't care about rabbits.Volume F has good highs and a great ending, but the babble in-between sucks.Volume 5 is alright as a setup for later stories, but still isn't that interesting.Deca story is cool, I guess.
