>If we wanted to read something as long as YU-NO or as ugly as Sharin no Kuni, we'd read an actual book. Because, you know, no eroge story is as good as real literature, no matter how many crazed otaku try to tell you otherwise. So we'd rather do stuff that's shiny. Yay for minori!

I read visual novels because i have a vapid sense of imagination.

I'm not sure how that logically makes sense.

Well, I wouldn't call Fate/Stay Night a masterpiece of modern literature, but it's far better than some books I've read, so I'd say it's as good as "real" literature.

[Anonymous No.]

FACT: 10% of all eroges are better than 90% of all books.

Because they have pretty pictures and music.

But mostly it is the porn.

> as ugly as Sharin no Kuni

say what now

Personally, I feel that the visual novel medium could theoretically be a better medium for "telling a story" than a book. You have all the advantages of a book, but at the same time you have an added OST and backgrounds which can do great things to enhance the story.

Not saying though that eroge has succeeded in this, just looking at what could be done with the medium.

Fate stay is like a really good YA book. Seriously, they should cut the porn, put it on trees, and It'll be the best YA book since Golden Compass.

Comparing any pop media to great literature is basically just a tool of trolls, but that doesn't mean that pop media can't be good on its own terms. I would say that the quality of the VNs i've read ranks up with the better sf/fantasy stuff.

Not saying though that modern day visual novels have succeeded in this, as I personally believe that few visual novels are even close to being as good as some of the best books.

I would love to force a bunch of literary professors to play through something like F/SN

And then force a different group of literary professors to read through the Kara no Kyoukai novels.

I agree with the OST part. The visual part should be done by the reader.

[MolesterJim No.]

At best, an above average fantasy book that would need to come out in 10 installments or so.
VN Viewpoint, focus, plus the use of visuals and music makes such comparisons stupid in the first place.

You get different things from a book, and different ones from a Vn.

Just see how different F/Sn and Zero are.

[Anonymous No.]

I think more VNs should be done like Umineko/Planetarian/Higurashi, one story without choices that are only in VN form to take advantage of the strengths of the medium. Not saying all things should be like this obviously, but if you are focusing on one story instead of scenarios, it is likely that single story will turn out better, and be literally a audio/visual novel.

But that would be pointless, even Nasu said it's shit.

Well, I liked how F/SN made use of the routes. It's all sort of one story, even though the routes are just differing events.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3595603
As said, not all things. F/SN does it well, Ever17 uses it to build up for the amazing Coco route, many other games use well made routes as well.

Still, some VN just go with a DEEP plot so they can fit as many H scenes as possible nonsensically, some are just stupid, Cross Channel had the worst paced H scenes ppacing I've ever seen in harems they were ''ok let's have sex since I'm bored'', plainly stupid

Funniest thing is that Sakuya is given to him for the explicit purpose of sex, and she doesn't have a sex scene.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3596462
You mean people don't have sex when they're bored ?

[Anonymous No.]

I was so upset in that game, when it ended and I never once saw a scene with you banging the silver haired angel girl. She blew you, which is awesome and all, but I wanted to see her get fucked

>funniest
You mean most unfortunate?

And I guess it didn't help that she is a cripple with slashed tendons by the time she starts to live with him...

...What? I'm not remembering this at all

[Anonymous No.]

>>3596567
I thought Sakuya was given to him to make his bed, but was misunderstood that it was for sex.

Maybe I'm mistaking something. It's been a long time since I've read it.

>>3596603
Neither am I. See? It HAS been a long time.
