Ah, I suppose that would be an issue.

To be honest, Steam is my ideal choice, but whenever I read VNs on steam they show up in my friend's recommendations and I don't feel like listening to them moan about how I'm ruining their store feed. I'll take Denpasoft or Mangagamer (assuming their store gets fixed) over JAST. I can get back into my accounts for either of those sites in under 5 minutes easily. For some ungodly reason I have to check all of my emails multiple times before I can figure out which one is linked to my JAST account. Of course finding the email is never enough, now I have to go through password recovery which, again for some ungodly reason, never works the first time on JAST.

Is there any explanation for why the game keys offered by the kickstarter are restricted to Steam and JAST even though the novel will be available from other (better) sources?

Ace Attorney series is quite funny, particularly if you like over the top facial expressions and character reactions. I'll second Little Busters. I'll also second Grisaia no Kajitsu, but if we're talking about comedy in Grisaia it'd be a shame to further neglect this title: https://vndb.org/v14973

The DS release of the original Ace Attorney. I didn't have many thoughts about it at the time, I was just completely shocked that there existed a game about being a lawyer and even more shocked that it was actually good.

Any of the uniforms from the Danganronpa series. Sure, no two characters wear the same thing, but several of them have outfits that are clearly school uniforms and they all look pretty good.

Little Busters is the only vn I've read that I felt did a good job of portraying childhood. As someone who's been a child well into adult years, I was quite invested in it. Grisaia no Kajitsu made tears flow in ways Key never could. <insert third vn here to comply with the rule of three> (Looks like I've only read two that got me emotionally invested.)

I would like to see more console exclusives ported to the switch, in particular the vita exclusives would be nice as I've never been able to get into them due to the vita's small screen and lack of a display stand (yes, I know the pstv is a thing, but I don't have one of those). Looking forward to getting Collar x Malice next year. One thing that bothers me to no end is titles that are translated and are ported to switch, but the translation isn't ported. I might one day finish Higurashi if the translation gets ported.

Really any anime that stopped part way through the source material. Particularly noteworthy ones would be: Gakkou Gurashi. The one season we have establishes a ton of mysteries, would be really nice to get some answers. Rokka no Yuusha. One might say it should get approximately five more seasons. One Punch Man. The second season feels like it exists for the sole purpose of setting up the third season.

Monokuma hard carries the Danganronpa series. He's the poster child for a reason.

Yuuji and Sachi - Grisaia no Kajitsu and Grisaia no Meikyuu The two unnamed protagonists - Juniper's Knot Riki and Kyousuke - Little Busters (not actually a couple in universe, but we were all thinking it) Kokichi and Himiko - Danganronpa V3 (again not actually a couple in universe, but... c'mon) Gumshoe and Instant Noodles - Ace Attorney Series (technically not a couple since one of them is food, but someone had to say it)

Hair - None Eyes - Black Dots Body - Yellow Skin, Red Shell Clothes - Sunglasses (Sometimes) Items - Berry Role - Collectible Pet, Future Destroyer Of Worlds

I once had a nightmare that Grisaia no Kajitsu had an anime adaptation. It was horrible.

Your story and writing are going to make or break your vn more than your art. As long as you maintain a consistent art style, what you have should be fine.

Eden* They Were Only Two On The Planet: A romance kinetic novel that's not afraid to kill off key characters. Drama is certainly the name of the game for this one. https://vndb.org/v1286 Zero Escape 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors: A vn/puzzle game hybrid. Nine people trapped on a sinking ship have nine hours to escape. https://vndb.org/v3112 Corpse Party Blood Covered: A vn/adventure game hybrid. A group of high school students get trapped in an elementary school that was supposedly demolished long ago. A must read for any horror fan and a must avoid for anyone else. No seriously, if you don't do horror this is not the place to start. https://vndb.org/v2632 Also, I know that multiple people have already said this but... Grisaia no Kajitsu: You really can't go wrong with this one. Genuinely the only vn I've read that's over 30 hours long that has enough interesting content to justify its insane length. That said, it's getting a Switch release later this year (I believe it's scheduled for November 7th) so if you have a Switch it's probably worth waiting until then. https://vndb.org/v5154
