I guess the most important thing for an author to do would be to look critically at the potential in VNs as a medium. After all, great writers and directors of films dissect the medium completely and know the initial tools at their disposal, manipulate them and innovate where necessary.

For somebody to create a really interesting VN would require a lot of thought, effort and criticism beyond even the writing itself. VNs would have to be dissected, first of all, and their full potential explored before somebody could use them as a means to something "literary".

I mean, even if a truly magnificent piece of writing were used in a VN it would be meaningless and sloppy if it didn't take into account the nature of the medium and exploit completely the tools available for somebody writing a VN.

Unless people in /jp/ or anywhere would be prepared to dissect VNs at an almost academic standard, something I really don't think anyone here or elsewhere has the motivation for, the first step toward a truly great VN by ANY author won't be taken.

Nanoha, better than Harry Potter?

Eh, I dunno. I just think it's bullshit that Harry Potter is so riddled with clichés and no one calls Rowling on it, but Twilight has a few flaws and everyone rips it apart over them.

Edward is a little one-dimensional, sure. But he's the romantic interest, and Twilight is written in first-person. Of COURSE he seems "perfect." It's a teenage girl writing about how awesome her boyfriend is.

Bella is a better protagonist than Harry.

You'd have a point if Twilight actually added anything original to what defines a vampire.
Instead, Meyers took away from that definition- all a vampire is is a semi-immortal being that sparkles in the day.
How is that a vampire?
Tsukihime had an interesting take with splitting vampires into Dead Apostles and True Ancestors.
Resident Evil had an interesting take with zombies with the T-Virus.
Karin had an interesting take by giving individual vampires an "affinity" for the blood of certain character traits. Hell, that would actually work better in a "romance story with vampires."

How so? I have only read one book but all the passages were horribly paced, with piss poor plot.

I do admit though that I found Edward to be incredibly charming as he always manages to make lines that would normally sound extremely corny and turn them into something cool and romantic.

Perfectly timed and executed Deus ex machinas, allegories to modern times, usage of checklov's gun, irony, foreshadowing, poetic justice, red herrings. The beauty of Rowling is that she combines mastery over writing along with her "whodunnit" mystery style all to build up to an intense climax that makes readers go "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" and the beauty of her work is that it manages to appeal to both the layman and the more observant reader as the more observant reader will oftentimes catch the clues that she skillfully hides in every chapter to figure out the plot.

Let me tell you something:
When you have MORE than one Deus Ex Machina, aka it did NOT resolve the conflict/problems/issues created by men, then you do nothing else but constantly create messes on the plot to grasp attention, magically unblock them for shock effect and move forward the plot you blocked yourself.

Second, it's set on 'modern' times either way.

Also, it's Chekhov's gun. JUST having it, a masterpiece does not make it.

If you were to continue, you would undoubtedly tear her hymen, thereby violating the First Law of Robotics. But failing to continue would inflict untold psychological damage, also violating the First Law. So you must continue. But then you would harm her, so you mustn't continue.

Its a mystery/fantasy novel, having all those literary elements are essential and they improve the quality.

>red herrings are just obvious distraction as to 'stall' the actual plot development

Actually red herrings make the plot all the more delicious as oftentimes the perpetrator is the least suspected character. Red Herrings are a staple of every mystery novel as they add mystery to the mystery novel. Let me ask you a question would you read a mystery novel if you knew who the killer was and what his plan was along with the fact that you knew that he would get caught without a hassle? Would you honestly read The Sorceror's stone if Dumbledore knew that Quirrel was plotting to steal it and intercepted him in the first chapter?

That's, like, soooo deep.

Seriously, though, I don't even know what you're talking about, but just from your description of him he doesn't even seem half as deep as any given throwaway F/sn side character. Pretty fucking sad, don't you think?

Harry really should have died in the last one. I mean, the idea that he somehow tied his life-force or some shit to Harry and thus lived on made sense, and they should have both died to end it all. I mean, that's just the way it should have been except Rowling wanted a happy ending.

God, I hated reading that last book. I mean, I enjoyed the others. The first is just competent, satisfactory children's fiction.

Breaking her hymen causes physical and emotional trauma, which is the definition of harm. In matters where harm is unavoidable, one must weigh which outcome harms the least:

She went by the peaceful name of Ruth, I think, but I can’t say for certain. Perhaps the name was Edith. She had a hole between her legs, oh not the bunghole I had always imagined, but a slit, and in this I put, or rather she put, my so-called virile member, not without difficulty, and I toiled and moiled until I discharged or gave up trying or was begged by her to stop. A mug’s game in my opinion and tiring on top of that, in the long run. But I lent myself to it with a good enough grace, knowing it was love, for she had told me so. She bent over the couch, because of her rheumatism, and in I went from behind. It was the only position she could bear, because of her lumbago. It seemed all right to me, for I had seen dogs, and I was astonished when she confided that you could go about it differently. I wonder what she meant exactly. Perhaps after all she put me in her rectum. A matter of complete indifference to me, I needn’t tell you. But is it true love, in the rectum? That’s what bothers me sometimes. Have I never known true love, after all? She too was an eminently flat woman and she moved with short stiff steps, leaning on an ebony stick. Perhaps she too was a man, yet another of them. But in that case surely our testicles would have collided, while we writhed. Perhaps she held hers tight in her hand, on purpose to avoid it.
