Hello and Salaam to everyone on the fuwanovel forums. I've been reading VNs since 2014-ish but only got really into them again in the last few years when I started reading Umineko (which I still haven't finished orz). I'm particularly interested in the history and literary aspects of VNs as well since it's a tragically unrecognized literary tradition by the vast majority of academics, despite their global impact across multiple generations. I've never worked on a VN but I have worked on some RPG Maker games as a writer and musician, and I do hope to utilize the Visual Novel medium for my work eventually. Peace and love.
