cool, i have read only one route on Ever17 (it is the anti social girl) i thought it was alright and was in the process of reading Sora's route but got really bored with the vn, i might pick it up again. regarding Giselle i am still reading Fata Morgana right now, here is what i think so far:

It happens a lot, you read a vn and fall in love with a certain character while you're reading that vn, then you finish the vn and you don't even remember the name of that character anymore. There are some certain characters though that you can never forget, whether you consider them to be too cute/sexy or they just simply stood out for you for some reason. which characters fall into that category for you and why? I will start, i haven't read that many vns, but here are some of the characters that stood out for me: Rin (Katawa Shoujo): she was simply very mysterious and i just loved her personality, i also liked her story. Michuru (Grisaia): I know many people hate her, i just found her very cute and liked her 'tsundere' attempts Fuuko (Clannad): Hands down the cutest loli character in existence, she was simply the definition of adorable, i also loved her voice acting, she is the number one cutest character in my book. Nagisa (Clannad): Where do i start? she had the best character of all the heroines i have seen, i admired her personality and passion, nothing about her was 'forced', her character was very reasonable and logical. simply amazing. i have finished clannad about a year ago and i still think about her XD

Thank you for the recommendations, what i meant by 'realistic' was not necessarily about vns with no sci-fi elements at all, which is why i used the quotation marks i was pretty much asking for a well done plot. I don't like any weak plots in VNs, for example: a man gets stabbed in the heart yet he 'magically survives, stuff like that. as long as the vn gives me considerable explanations i am ok with it. Although Clannad had sci-fi elements in it, i don't remember any instance where i felt the vn forced something on me and i just HAD to believe it for the heck of it. the illusionary world was very mysterious and i liked how they explained it at the end. you want an example of what i don't like? In Grisaia in Michuru's route

Thank you Awesome now i have a good list of VNs to read XD yeah i forgot about Kira Kira, i am considering Kara no Shoujo as well, i have ef a fairy tale in my wishlist as well. I am reading Eden right now and i am not impressed. thanks Oh i loved Steins Gate, i was happily reading it until i deleted the game by mistake while i was cleaning up some old files ever since then i had been discouraged to continue reading it as i have lost my save files and achievements, i was also very picky about the achievements b.ut surely one day i will finish it

Thank you I will consider those, Remember 11 is already on my wishlist as well. I have so many on my wishlist I don't know where to start lol I have tried Ever 17, I played one route of the mysterious anti social girl. I thought it was alright, but as you mentioned I found myself bored reading it, I was gonna read the other routes but the text skip function is so bad and slow, I literally had to wait over 30 mins for the vn to finish skipping all the text, but it was also because I didn't read it by the recommended route order, and the vn is linear so yeah. I will consider remember 11 though. They were truly amazing. Symphonic rain is also on my wishlist lol but thank you, I needed to know which ones fall under my 'realistic' criteria

I have them on my wishlist actually except for root double. I will check them out. I was thinking about reading it, I heard it's good Well I can't deny that, although after I read Narcissui i was trying to avoid them...looks like that's what I really need lol

As much as i hate it, i am very picky about vns and i will admit that not any vn can catch my eye,i have read some of the top vns and now i am struggling to find a good one. i will list some of the vns that i truly enjoyed: Katawa Shoujo (it was my first vn lol) Saya no Uta (i liked the story) Clannad (Masterpiece and my top vn ever) Narcissu (masterpiece) Swan Song (masterpiece) Cross Channel (it had its flaws but i still enjoyed it) Yumi Miru Kusuri (i quite enjoyed the route of the girl getting bullied) Graisaia (it was enjoyable but they ruined it with unnecessary over the top scenarios, my best route was Michiru even though it could have been better) So pretty much what i enjoy about a vn is a good story with a realistic plot, it doesn't mean the vn cannot be sci-fi, it just means that the plot is well done and almost has no gaps, i don't want a vn that just forces me to believe something just for the heck of it, i want a reasonable plot. i am reading Morgana right now and i am quite enjoying it, i finished chapter 6 so far and will see how things will go from here, i do believe the vn has been pushing it around this chapter and i feel like the story is being stretched but i won't judge now. what i liked about Clanned is the well done characters, the protagonist was pretty likable and relatable, i am not very fond of vns with a perfect genius protagonist but i can tolerate it as long as it is well done. The after story in Clannad was absolutely stunning in my opinion, i have never been attached to a character as much as i was attached to Nagisa. This is the type of vn i am looking for, the characters were pretty realistic and all their emotions were very reasonable and accurate. Yes i know i will not find a vn like Clannad but if possible i want something at least similar. anyway, as long as the plot is reasonable and characters are well done i am good with any genre. EDIT: i am also reading Eden right now and so far i am not very impressed

never mind i found it, i was referring to Daiakuji, sadly the vn isn't translated so i am out of luck XD

I am trying to remember the name of this vn, i haven't actually read it yet, but i have watched the anime adaption of it a long time ago, it was more of a hentai tbh it had around 10 episodes, the main character was a tall muscular guy with a scar on his face, he skin was a bit dark, he was fighting another group of people, it was a long time ago that i watched it so forgive my sloppy details. but i remember that one of the main characters was a woman with a long blue hair, she was abducted by the enemy and she was raped by a very huge man with a very huge penis... also one of the characters was a loli with a grey hair who had a rocket launcher as a weapon and the main character ends up marrying her at some point. pretty uch the main character ends up having sex with every single female character lol if you can give me the name i would appreciate it, let me know if you need more details

I completely agree with you on Clannad, so far it is my top vn and it is just absolutely amazing, like i mentioned in my previous post it was the only vn where i could connect with the characters that well. if you want a vn that will make you cry and feel miserable then Narcissu it is. it was my first 'depressing' vn so maybe that was the reason that it had a huge impact on me but it took me a while to get over it. I don't think i will come across a vn that will make me that emotional as much as Narcissu did. Also Swan Song is really good too and very emotional.

I second both Narcissu and Clannad, Clannad being my absolutely top vn right now for having such amazing characters especially in the after story, never had i been attached to any character like in Clannad. i would also add Swan Song in there. i am reading Ever17 now and so far it is good, maybe i will add it to the list

That makes so much sense, thanks a lot dude

yeah i have seen this one, i can probably try to follow it, but here is the issue, i know i can try to avoid the affection points, but let's say i wanna do a certain route ( i am assuming each route has a bad ending, correct me if i am wrong), if i wanna strictly avoid affection points then how can i guarantee i will remain in the same route? i am wondering if my choices will land me in another route instead

I just started reading Ever17 yesterday and all the walkthroughs i have come across only give the choices that lead to the good endings, and do not specify which choices lead exactly to a a bad end. I know that i can try my luck and choice some choices that might obviously lead to a bad end but i want to be sure so that i don't screw things up or end up in a different route etc i always read the bad endings first and leave the good endings for the last, so if anyone has come across a walkthrough that specifies which choices lead to the bad ends could you please share it? or if you have any advice without possible spoilers that would be great. i am very OCD about strictly sticking to a walkthrough while reading a vn and reading Ever17 without knowing how to get the bad endings is kinda irritating me lol

You raised many valid points there, i thought the common route was indeed enjoyable, the characters seemed interesting and the vn seemed very promising. to be honest i had no clue that the vn is only slice of life comedy so that was mainly my own fault, i was expecting something more deep, especially during the routes. while playing the common route i liked Miyako a lot but i was very disappointed in her route and i would say that i liked her character more in the common route than in the route itself. It felt to me that Majikoi's target audience was people aged around 15 years old ... everything that happened was very simple and predictable and once i finished Miyako's route i was like....ok? that's it? It was not a bad VN but definitely not my type of vn so i understand why many people like it, but i still think it is somewhat overrated. I have only read Miyako's route and i was planning to keep reading more, but after i read some of the reviews about it i realized that this is definitely not the type of vn i would be interested in. Not to mention that the H-scenes were very forced and even the romance too (at least in Miyako's route). As much as i HATE dropping vns i think i have no choice but to move on to another one
