It should take 5-10 minutes to complete. I appreciate your time!

You can find the list in this Google Doc here. I've been reading visual novels for almost 10 years, and it's still one of my favorite fictional mediums. Part of that is because of how much I love these characters and how long you get to know them in these stories. Now that I've read just about every English TLd VN I was interested in, I figured it'd be good to do this list as I go into reading VNs in Japanese and share which characters and experiences I've enjoyed the most. There's a simple TLDR list at the bottom of the doc you can access on the left side menu if you just want to see that without going through 30+ pages of writeups. I chose not to include characters from series like Ace Attorney, DanganRonpa, and Zero Escape since those are popular enough and have enough gameplay to be considered just games and it was already tough to narrow down the characters I had for this list and wanted to highlight more from the text-only visual novels. For Fun here's the spread of characters by localization company: MangaGamer- 6 JAST - 9 (8 currently unreleased) Sekai Project - 10 (2 currently unreleased) Sol Press- 1 Nekonyan- 2 MoeNovel- 5 Frontwing- 3 (All currently unreleased) Degica- 2 Fan TLd Only- 9 EVN original- 3 Feel free to give any comments, gushing, or dunks on my opinions. Or to ask why certain characters are/aren't on my list. Or which characters of yours are your favorites. I'll answer whenever I can.

Hello All!, I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend a VN that is downright hilarious, I have been away from the Vn scene for a while so i was wondering if anything came out that was funny recently I really enjoyed Edelweiss and Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai! Thanks for all the Help! -Neo

Hi. I am a Spanish user, and the main reason for me to registrate was to find a way to translate the new remastered version of Saya no Uta (from English to Spanish). I already discovered how to unpack the 2003 version, but the 2019 version is encrypted in another different way. I hope to find solutions here.

I agree. I started out thinking this would be a great season but so much has faded over time. Maou sama is boring now despite being initially hilarious, Two hit mama is lame arse mom love shit, Hensuki barely gets a smirk out of me, Katsutte kami desperately needed a much longer running and rushed AF, arifureta was appalling from the get go, but managed to get worse (long since dropped now), cop craft has serious production issues but is still kinda okay, uchinoko is soothing iyashikei but not much else, dumbbell forgot to actually be funny or ecchi, failing on both counts, fire force is as you said, joshikousei, sounan, and Tejina barely get a grin, and there was sooo much I dropped. However, it's not all bad. Savage girls is really pleasing, astra and dr stone are both intriguing, accelerator is okayish, danmachi is good fun. Kimetsu no Yaiba really stood out as you said, and based on its pacing desperately needs about 3 more seasons if it's to fully explore all the characters, Tanjrou's evolution, and the downfall of the 12. My biggest disappointment is Mix though. I really expected magic from it like the original Touch anime it's a sequel to, or even better Cross Game (also by the same writer) but instead it's been pretty plain sports anime. Weirdest part of all I can't get my head around is the sound mixing (pun intended) in it. The sound effects are ten times louder than the voices, making it really distracting.

Aye, that was pretty powerful. Also, it sets up pretty nicely what the second season will be about. I'm kind of excited for it, because the first one is kind of one giant piece of setup and character introduction. Although, I'm kind of unsettled how Tohru was treated in that sequence... That girl is putting up with way too much and most of the time it feels more disturbing than admirable, even though the show tries to push very hard how her doormat attitudes are universally a good thing. I guess they at least removed some of the misogynists tropes connected to Akito, but still, the show has some issues... EDIT: I guess while I'm in this thread, damn, there are some stinkers in this season. Fire Force is slowly degrading into brain-dead mess of obnoxious harem tropes and nonsense shounen cliches. On the other hand, Kimetsu no Yaiba grew into something truly excellent. It took me a while, but I'm now super-invested in all these characters and the strange setting. It's pretty obvious it'll have a second season and I can't wait to see things escalate even more. Plus it's pretty fascinating how the show uses pretty realistic passage of time, I have a feeling like we'll see a decent part of Tanjirou's life before everything gets resolved...

From what little i could understand from your question, you didn't play the Agave route from the original MajiKoi (where Tatsuko and Yamato get to know each other)? You have to play the 5 main routes on the original to access Agave.
