_Loud_Lord_ Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm pretty new when it comes to visual novels so I've only played a handful, so far almost all of visual novels I've played have had major idiots/pussies as the main protagonists that I seriously can't stand. I mean I enjoyed them but I just wish the main protagonists aren't like this. So are there any VN's with protagonists that aren't like this? I've played the fruit of grisaia and the sequels btw, which are so far my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamysyu Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well, idiot is a way too subjective word. Also, I think there quite a lot of VNs somebody can recommend you, so maybe you should try to specify what genres of VNs you like. Several VNs from my own list which seem to fit: Tokyo Babel (though he has kind of strange common sense, I guess) G-senjou no Maou Umineko no Naku Koro ni Saya no Uta Tsukihime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plk_Lesiak Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I haven't really played through those yet, but I think protagonists in major fighting VNs are rarely useless, for obvious reasons. So I guess something like Fate/Stay Night or Dies Irae could be a good choice for you? Can someone more knowledgeable confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the protagonist of Fate/Stay Night is an idiot or not is debatable... Well, by the end of the VN most people like him. It just takes a while to warm up to him. (Incidentally, I liked him since the start, but I am very much the sort of person that likes the useless protagonists of the normal VNs. Generally.)

Well, Shirou from FSN tends to be pretty idiotic sometimes, so I don't think it's what the op wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFunny31 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 You should try out grisaia no kajitsu. The protagonist is a badass in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canicheslayer Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Gahkthun ! The hero, Nikola Tesla, is pretty cool : He's the enemy of the World ! Naoe Yamato in Majikoi. He's a pervert but a true strategist. Chester in Enigma: ! He's clever and mysterious (unfortunately he is in the terminal stage of a terrible illness) +1 Stormwolf. Yes for Sharin no Kuni. Even if The hero is a bit over-the-top (I can't find a better word to describe him XD), I really liked him Edited January 11, 2018 by Canicheslayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0xm2n Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Could try Clannad. He's not a pussy. And he's even a jerk towards his best friend (most of the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battler IS an idiot throughout several episodes until he decides to fight back. Definetly not what the OP is looking for. I DO recommend Umineko, but not in this case. @_Loud_Lord_, do you have a VNDB list with games you already played? And what genre are you looking for the most? I can recommend Kara no Shoujo, Remember11, Steins;Gate (arguably), Rose Guns Days, Eden*. All of them fit your criteria and each has its own qualities, so you have options here.

Definetly not what the OP is looking for. I DO recommend Umineko, but not in this case. Is he, really? He was kind of lost at first, I think, but I never considered him an idiot. And at the same time, he was pretty competent in Chiru. Well, it's up to interpretation, I suppose. And it's been a while since I read Umineko, so maybe I'm forgetting some stuff. Edit. Not really, it's way too big of a thing to forget. ~~~~~ And, yeah, I forgot about Eden. 11 hours ago, Plk_Lesiak said: That avatar by the way, that's some drastic change of tone. ^^ I got bored of the old one, and I love this picture.
