How do I get my semi-casual brother to read Visual Novels?

[Anonymous No.]

Give him a semi-erection

[Anonymous No.]

Stop trying to force people who aren't into your hobby to read shit you think is good.

Alternatively the /vg/ threads are full of entry-level easy english VNs like YMK and KS

Read some text! Receive porn!
Why don't we have this in our schools?

[Anonymous No.]

Don't.
Ever17 is a boring piece of shit, just watch Steins;Gate with him.

How did you come to this

1.Your brother said
>I want somethng etc etc after getting bored of Tv or video games and you though VN

2.You have nobody else to discuss VNs with and now preparing to try and make your brother come into VN

also does your brother like Anime

Thats the dealbreaker for most of these scenarios brother/sister Anon

if not try to convince that reading this will give at least some better vocabulary since VN are quite long

He likes anime and is getting bored of TV Video games and he wanted a mind-blowing kind of story so I thought Ever17

Sounds like a plan

[Anonymous No.]

guise, Im new to this VN thing.
Are these VN's?
Trace Memory
Hotel Dusk
Captive Market

Is there a VN Chart?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10095518
Good.....
You can pull this of Anon

Problem is that i myself considerd Ever17 to very hard compared to Remeber 11 due to

>Making mistakes only makes and impact in the end
>Thus if you make a wrong move it will come out hours later at the end

So starting with ever17 would be risky but good

Beginning with The Devil on G-string or even a Type Moon game would be good since these are game that could be complete easily

if you insist on ever17 warn the nigga or give the holy advice of

Fate/Stay Night is almost as long as the bible? Holy shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10095557
bible is entry level casual shit though.

[Anonymous No.]

Ever17 is crap
Sharnoth is crap

Besides those two, anything should be fine.

I suggest Saya no Uta in particular, though maybe not if he'd overreact to the little girl having sex scenes. Maybe stop before them and continue after.

I'll go against the flow here. What you should recommend as a first read is a VN where Japanese culture and customs are de-emphasized. So that rules out most "high-school student protagonist titles". The cultural differences that are familiar by otaku culture connoisseurs may be off-putting for a beginner. Stories that rely in Japanese customs as plot devices or points are forbidden.

I'd personally suggest Quartett, with or without the voice and ero patches depending on your judgment.
