You've read Fanny Hill, I take it?
There is also the autobiography of Josefine Mutzenbacher, though I'm not 100% sure it is available in English yet.

Well, she loves to over-analyze words and is pretty bad at social. If that's not /lit/ I don't know what is.
But seriously. The Kanji-wank she gets on in some episode does make up for an otherwise rather shocking lack of books near her I'd say.

Does /lit/ discuss Japanese literature apart from Kawakami?

>>4634228
Cause she needs to make her parents proud and Books and Mana are pretty much her only interests.
Honestly, I'd say she's the most /lit/ Blue (fuck's sake she remembered all those poems even before she started to play) second only MAYBE to Reika.

Try one of these.

I dare-say Luther had more impact by virtue of unifying German for maybe the first time.

Surprisingly so if you're not allergic to cuteness.

HOT.
I want information.

>>4210027
Whoa hey, a lot of them were seriously alright.

>>4210020
Pretty much, yea.
> a lot of work
I think they're also working at it Journalist style so there's always a rather tight schedule to keep. Unless they're indie ("Doujin", in nipponese) studios that landed a major hit like the people behind Fate/Stay Night or Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, then they work on SOON™-time.

The odd VN threads I see here once a quarter seem to usually remain unmolested.

http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=VN/Eroge_Script_sizes

Among the most popular VN that got a translation the average script size is at or around 3MB - 4MB and goes up for untranslated ones.

Now, obviously Jap works a bit differently in how things are stored but it's nevertheless a pretty impressive achievement.

A single VN is more like a book series or full season of a TV show than a "novel" in both length, script size and in terms of what happens from start to finish.
Have a translated break-down of the costs, link courtesy of /jp/.

Scenario writers are paid by the line or KB, meaning there's incentive to get as much down as possible.

I had another link explaining how much a scenario cost on average but I lost it.

Let me look up some examples real quick but lengths beyond the upper third of Wikipedia's Longest Novel listing do happen.

>>4209973
Several VN (Jap) go up to 3MB script size. Doesn't make them superior of course, but this medium does seem to beat out traditional literature in the wordiness department in more than a few instances.

Query: Why does the infographic not list Sexist books? Is there anti-feminist literature that isn't BDSM fetishism or dry-ass rants? I wanna read up on the topic since it interests me regardless of my comparatively moderate views in regards to the matter itself.

>We'd need artists though.
First things first. After you've hashed out the first 500KB you can whore it out to artists. They tend to prefer things that don't look like they'll suddenly die. Art is important to enjoying a VN. Not to making one.

I wonder if /lit/ would be able to brew up a decent VN. If you have experience as a playwright or screenwriter it's probably going to be a lot easier.

>Is Hunger Games the most trite and plebeian book in existence?
That makes no sense.

Does King even HAVE an editor, or do all his scripts go straight to the printing press the moment his publisher gets them? He's not too bad a writer, but it feels like eating half-baked bread at times.

>>3976291
>>3975801
You'd need playwrights and/or screenwriters, not vanilla novelists for a VN in addition to the experience in the medium (which is probably easier to acquire than experience in the aforementioned disciplines).

Don't read the Pentateuch in order or you'll kill yourself.

/vg/ was actually made in part because KStards from /v/ couldn't contain their FEELS autism.

>>3976201
Correction: It was a project made by /a/ inspired by a couple of character sketches we found.

Pretty sure even celebs preparing for a movie only spend five at most, else wise your body won't recover.
Also, most of that seems kind of, I don't know, obvious.
