My sociology professor was talking about visual novels being an evolution or a merger of books and interactive entertainment. Also something about how books are going to die and be replaced by VNs. Should I argue with him and reveal my power levels or just take it like a man?

He's wrong.

Books have survived radio, television, the internet, videogames, and theatre.

I somehow doubt "reading games" are going to do them in.

I hope you pointed and laughed at his dumb ass.

Sir, I think you may be mistaken. That wasn't a sociology lecture. You were just posting on /jp/. And your "professor" was a random anon.

>> No.1241625

I'm taking this as a GE. And the professor is supposedly trying to start some "cutting edge" interactive textbook shit and sell it. So I guess he is ripping off of VN's for his little business idea.

Are they male or female?
Male: laugh at him and forget about it
Female: next question
How old is she?
Really old: laugh at her and forget about it
Slightly older than you: discretely reveal your power level and get raped by femanon
Young: raep

This is all at SUNY. Professor is some 30 year old guy with a pHD in sociology and BAs in Japanese and CS. So...draw your own conclusions as to why he would even bring up VNs in a class...

VNs aren't the successors to books, they're the successors to stage plays.

VNs are around 70 dollars. It'd be cheaper to get it in book form. This is assuming that you just don't download it for free.

It depends, really. The ones from top-tier companies are expensive, but there are plenty of cheap and even legitimately free visual novels out there.
