Max Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I think of this every now and then. I honestly don't know. I am very grateful I was introduced to this. Visual novels are therapeutic to me. When I am in bed and start feeling really bad, emotionally, VN's are there for me. Probably this is more related to my personality rather than something else. They (VN's) soothe my mind and heart.

Kaguya Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hm. I'd be reading a bunch of actual books, which I still do. Wouldn't change things too much, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Cat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Pretty sure we had this already somewhere... Anyway, gaming, anime, school, clubs, not being on here. Pretty much the same for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'd be more invested into the gaming world which I withdrew from to be able to spend more time on VN's. ...Which is a pretty nice thing to fall back on when literally every translated VN which is worth my time has been read by me.

sub-zer0 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Would stick to playing video games and reading books, and watching anime, only started reading Vns like a couple months ago,been playing video games mostly before finding about Vns ,though it will be harder in the future since most game dev companies have decided to grab cash and scrwd the fans over, only company I have hope for is Beth now,everything else I have no hope for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrt Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Not much really...would still be playing games, reading books, and watching anime and other tv shows. Likely wouldn't be on these forums. Wouldn't be trying to introduce people to visual novels constantly might try getting people into more anime/games. Honestly when I started reading visual novels I also stopped reading manga and comics so maybe I would go back to those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbullet312 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I would just spend that time playing video games more than I already do. Or read an actual book, which I haven't really done for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permagate Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Probably watching more animes. I'm still reading novels and manga quite a bit, but I have stopped watching anime altogether since I read VN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrillej1 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I may not be as invested in trying to learn Japanese and given up more easily maybe. VNs are very useful to me as jp learning material but can also be fun to read and there's different levels, voice, backlog option, etc. The usual hobbies, movies, anime, video games, drawing, reading. When I do choose a book to read without being forced to, I usually like non-fiction kind of books because I feel I could learn something from them or change my way of thinking... and I like to read fiction as VNs since I enjoy seeing the artwork, choice, etc. So without ever knowing VNs, I may have been more into reading fiction books too.

Flutterz Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I wouldn't have gotten into anime and I wouldn't have started my shitty attempts at learning Japanese, but that's really about it. I guess I'd just play video games all day, which is often all I do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetterEmperor Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Probably playing video games and watching TV all day. I'd also probably not be on my computer as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMN Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 i would've struggled in trying to find a better way to get my Japanese better. i'd also focus on watching more anime,i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakamotoX Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I would just be spending even more hours watching animes and playing osu! I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin_sama Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Well, I wouldn't be around on this forum and missing out on an awesome community. And yep, I'd likely be watching anime and playing video games too, lol. I still do that, just not as often as I did before I got into VNs.

Satsuki Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Watching anime. Playing LoL. Playing Dota 2. Blah blah. You name it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuko Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Watching anime, reading manga and books, playing LoL, diablo and osu, the same stuff I still do. Without VNs I woudn't have this many people to talk about anime and stuff tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julyan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I would probably be reading more books. Before knowing VNs, I buy at least 10 books every month. Now I only grab a max of 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkasmus Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I would do what I did before discovering VNs, reading books and Mangas, watching animes, playing RPGs and more learning for university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvictusCobra Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is something that often comes to my mind, be it with Novels, games, anime or any of my favourite passtimes. Wondering where a different me is right now... But I digress. As reading Visual Novels and watching anime came pretty much at the same time, I'd watch more anime, play more games, basically what I already did, but more.

Zalor Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 For most of the time that I have been reading VNs (been doing so for over 4 years now), it was something I used to only indulged myself in occasionally. Like maybe one VN for every couple of months - half a year. It was only within the past year or so that VNs have actually become something that I really care about. If it weren't for VNs I probably would never have found the inspiration and motivation to learn Japanese. I like anime a lot, but since virtually every anime has fansubs these days, there is little incentive to learn Japanese for anime. It's all the untranslated VNs I want to read that motive me to learn Japanese. Since there is no other alternative to reading them other than to learn to read the language, I decided to make that commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
