Like how many people are here regularity chilling? Or how many have been on this site in total? How much of an impact has Fuwanovel has made on the VN industry?

So, I can write a review?

Oh that's what I was missing.

I was reading Clpehas's blog and he said "this game actually needed locked paths or a true ending." Why would a visual novel need locked paths in the first place? Wouldn't be better to not lock paths. Also, why do VNs need a true ending anyway if the whole goal of a visual novel is to have endings. Having a true end just means that all the other endings are just irrelevant. Wouldn't be better if the reader can just decide what ending they like from the route they just happened to go along with?

Just wondering

How about this? https://vndb.org/v1200

Yeah, I played it after playing Galaxy Angel sim date RPG. I completely forgot it about it. Thanks for reminding me of that great game.

I completely agree. Thanks for referencing my childhood visual novel

I am looking for stats on this, or your best educated guess. I know there are a ton of VNs have that have porn in it: especially JVNs. So, I would like a nice estimation for research purposes.

Damn

Think of it this way, if I am reading Fifty Shades of Grey then you can make the same assumptions as if I were to read nukige for instance, but what I want is that VNs are generally looked in the same kind of way you would look at traditional novels. When people look at Ever17, they should be looking at it like how one would look at a classic from literature, because it is a classic of literature. While it’s good that most normies have zero clue of what a Visual Novel is, some might even assume Watchmen or Maus to be a visual novel. The problem lies is when it does become mainstream, I fear that the backlash against VNs would be a lot more pronounced than what is today. BTW, is the JVN industry hopeless? How so? I feel that you’re exaggerating

This question is based off the following articles I found: http://bigthink.com/21st-century-spirituality/reading-rewires-your-brain-for-more-intelligence-and-empathy https://medium.com/thrive-global/how-books-and-television-affect-your-brain-differently-according-to-science-82c3b14f789b Even though there hasn’t been any studies on this phenomenon, but what do you guys think? Especially, when compared to anime? Do visual novels make you smarter?

This makes me happy, because Eroge is overrated anyway. When I say I am reading a visual novel, the response should be similar to when I say I am reading a novel or a manga.

What did you mean by “pure moege” and there is a difference between a moege and a nakige. What are the boundaries?

I understand your point, but I am talking about majority of people just would’nt care about this. Sure, you have that one weirdo that is grossed out by breast-feeding, but it’s not like it’s going to hurt Steam’s revenue. After all the complaining, it’s just going to disappear because Logan or Jake Paul did something stupid again. We’re niche enough as it is. So, any and all controversy would actually help visual novels become popular in the west ironically.
