Oh come on. I can see you not having read Muramasa or Baldr Sky yet because they're not translated, and I guess a few of you might not be able to read Japanese, but how the fuck could you have not read Muv-Luv Alternative?

But it's very good. It combines the best elements of mecha and school life romance to great success. It even has parallel worlds and time travel and shit.

So you're judging it because its' from Japan, or because of the visual novel format, or what? You're just acting like a pretentious jackass is what I think and I don't much like it.

But it has novel in the name... Besides, I thought most people from /lit/ would have experimented with all kinds of different forms of literature, not just regular books.

It's a visual novel.
You said 'mecha' and 'school life romance'.
It uses the anime aesthetic, and anime is the bottom of the barrel as far as entertainment and cultural value is concerned.

Based on these, I have concluded that you don't know what good things are.

Why wouldn't they be?

Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written works, and is not bound to published sources (although, under circumstances unpublished sources can be exempt). Literally translated, the word literature means "acquaintance with letters" (as in the "arts and letters"). The two major classification of literature are poetry and prose.

"The art of written works". While visual novels do incorporate images and sound, the majority of the story is still told through text. So why wouldn't they be classified as written works?

Stop trying to make /jp/ look bad, you weeaboo defending those anime Video-games.

We are much better than that.

/jp/ is about Japan and it's culture, anime goes in /a/ and video-games go in /v/.

So what is it, then? I've yet to read a single visual novel where I wouldn't have been able to understand anything meaningful if I'd been reading the text by itself in a word document or something. The images and sound simply serve to augment the text. So why should they be considered any different from a work that is only text?

Not exactly.

>A visual novel (ビジュアルノベル bijuaru noberu?) is an interactive fiction game featuring mostly static graphics, usually with anime-style art, or occasionally live-action stills or video footage.[1] As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels or tableau vivant stage plays.
