leyline 1 about the same difficulty as wolf girl and each game gets a little harder so it's good as a starter vn

>>45570671
If you just want a starter VN for practicing Japanese then read Hanahira like everyone else

bro his vndb says "Would recommend as a starter VN for normies maybe" next to doki doki literature club

The more I think about it, the more I understand a simple fact: being a yurichad is the best thing you can possibly do to learn Japanese. Consider arch-JOP Moogy: yup, he's a yurichad. Me? I'm a yurichad. My friend who's a yurichad is making great progress too, and he's in his first year still. But why is being a yurichad so good, you ask? Consider Hanahira: possibly the easiest visual novel to read ever. The perfect starter VN, in fact. But look then at what the failures, the morons, the ones who liketh not yuri say: "boring", "how can anyone read it"... you get the picture, do you not? But for a real YURICHAD, Hanahira is a fucking masterpiece of cute, fluffy yuri. From Hanahira we can draw a straight line to the based as fuck yuri nukige series Sono Hanabira ni Kuchidzuke wo. This too is a great beginner VN series, and the difficulty is a perfect little step up after breaking your teeth on the gentle shores of Hanahira. But what then, you ask? Well guess what — there is So Much Yuri out there, you cannot fucking believe it, and very little of it is translated, least of all translated well enough for anyone with a hint of prose standards to read. Thus the YURICHAD is compelled to read all his yuri content in Japanese, just as God intended when he made girls gay for each other. Some of my earliest VNs read were yuri doujin VNs, like 80% of the light novels I've read have been yuri, yuri got me to branch out into manga... I'm reading Soukou Akki Muramasa right now, and you know who I thank for that? Fucking Mai and Reo, Sara and Kaede, Adachi and Shimamura, Sorawo and Toriko, Touko and Yuu. If you could only become a YURICHAD, you would see the light. You would learn Japanese. 以上

debutopias a much better starter vn

Drop it and come back when you're good
Tryl Axanael as you're starter VN instead. It wasnt the first VN I read in JP (I read a bunch of short nukige before and leyline) but it was the first one where I thought "this makes learning JP worth it" the game is a ton of fun and a love letter to being an otaku. The prologue literally starts with a chick starting a fucking gun fight at Comiket becuase she can't get the doujin she NEEDS. The game is fast pace so you wont be waiting around for it to get good. It's almost all dialouge and everyone is voiced making it easy to read. Just a heads up the UI is confusing and sometimes you'll deal with arachric kanji, but 95% of the game is easy.
Good luck

there's no sex in it. if you want a good starter vn with sex just read https://vndb.org/v15473 or any nukige that fits your tastes (search nukige tag and your other preferred tags on vndb and sort by rating)

i wouldn't really recommend tsukihime as a starter vn as it's unvoiced and because nasu has an "eccentric" writing style desu. their's also plenty of infodumping and magic stuff. some good starter vns for the medium are the ones made by key like little busters or clannad as they're fully voiced and have simple prose.

>>30666508
boku no pico is unironically a good starter vn, simple words and plot

leyline is the official djt starter vn

>>30606502
thanks dude, seems lke the alcohol 52% has issues installing on windows 10 and later versions have adware, think im just gonna call it a day on this one and play the english version -_- seemed an interesting starter VN for japanese too

every time i complain about the current state of targetted ads, i'll remember these shitty mid 2000s installers and why everyone past a certain age has 5000 adware viruses

Hanahira is kino and the perfect starter VN

recommending leyline as a starter vn

>>20463224
Hanahira is the best starter VN.

>>20235812
It's not that hard, but it's better to read it when you've got a more solid grasp at japanese rather than a starter vn

What is a good starter VN for someone who's never read one in Japanese before? So, vocab etc on the simpler side. Bonus for otome but not necessary.

>>19011208
The best starter vn is whatever the fuck you want to read, if it keeps you hooked and reading then that's all you need.

does anyone have a good list of starter vn's? I'm reading through tae kim and doing kanji reps, and I really want something to try and read so I can get used to reading Japanese text.

Yeah I'm going to stop playing it and start up そして明日の世界より which seems interesting--I really like the setting. That part of the starter VN guide wasn't joking when it said that you might drop 日本語 forever because of how boring はなひらっ is. I was asking because of the sunk cost fallacy and thinking about pushing myself through to finish it up.

>>16521881
Nope.

When I initially read it, I was relatively new to VNs. At that time, I ended up dropping it because it wasn't interesting enough. I initially dropped Inganock as well when it was released for similar reasons, but after some years had passed and my taste had matured a bit I tried Inganock again and enjoyed it. Figuring the same would be true for Tsukihime, I tried that again as well...but this time around, it was ten times worse as I realized how dull it really is.

The only reason /jp/ loves it is nostalgia. Its translation released at a time when there were practically no other VN translations, and as a result it was their first VN for many readers (and said readers then proceeded to recommend it to others as starter VN). Tsukihime is for the older generation of VN readers what Katawa Shoujo is for the newer generation of VN readers.

>>16382779
whats a decent starter VN then? doesnt really matter to me what it is as long as its not INSANELY boring

>>13644402
Go for it. It's really good for being as short as it is and would be a great starter VN.
