namiultedjapanXD Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I may be alone in this but I find myself constantly putting off VNs that I know are amazing for the sole reason that when I finish a series the feeling of sadness that it's gone is terrible? Here is a good example of what I mean: I read Cartagra a while back and I loved practically everything about it! It was so suspenseful. It was the first VN where I was actually scared for the characters in it. I never knew what was going to happen. I know that KnS and the second one are going to be even better. No other VN series can capture the magic that this series has. This is the problem though. I like to save the best for last but my "last" feels like never going to read. I know when I start reading them its going to be a binge read and once there are no more I'm going to feel like shit since you only can only have one first experience. Some other VNs that I do this too are the Grisaia series (I started the first a little and liked it but eventually put it on hold and havn't returned since). It also doesn't help that now my VN reading time is consumed entirely by untranslated VNs since I want to keep increasing my reading ability. I should probably add a little time during the day to read a good VN that I will understand better when translated so I don't miss anything being said. Maybe I'm alone on this and its just me being weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mr Poltroon and AustriaVNFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I avoided reading Clannad and Steins;Gate for almost a year because I was afraid of being disappointed due to my high expecations. I loved them both once I got around to them, so I've decided to not wait around anymore if there's anything I'm really interested in. In the case of KnS, you should consider putting it off until the third game (fourth, if you count Cartagra) is released. I kinda wish I had, because it's pretty tough having to wait for an uncertain amount of time to experience the conclusion to the story. namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel, that’s why I went on to read Kara no Shoujo. Which is the sequel to that. The characters you love do take a back seat as new characters show off their skills and solve a new intense scary mystery. namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I still haven't played Interview with Kaziklu Bey because I'm saving it for a truly rainy day. namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwolf Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not usually. Only when i want to read something that'll potentially be depressing then i'll try to save some good stuff to rejuvenate with afterwards. namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustriaVNFan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I know exactly what you mean. It happened to me when I read the Muv-Luv series. I grew so extremely fond of the characters there (after all I spent like 170 hours with them!?) that when I realised the story was nearing its end I only read very little each day because I wanted to stay with them and because I knew it would take quite an effort to start another story and get used to new characters there. When I had finally finished Muv-Luv Alternative I even made a short VN break (like 3 weeks) to digest everything that had happened there. So yes, I can absolutely understand you! Although in the end my curiosity always gets the better of me and I manage to finish the VN namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poltroon Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Yes. I haven't finished Wagamama High Spec or Fureraba precisely because they're so good I don't want them to end. namiultedjapanXD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just slap myself in the face and read it once the 3rd one comes out. 56 minutes ago, Stormwolf said: Not usually.

Narcosis Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If anything, all the visual novels I read, which are universally considered as "kami tier" turned out to be fairly mediocre at most. I don't typically postpone reading for such reasons, but I tend to have really long withdrawal periods after reading really good works and it's mostly due to bonding with the characters.

It's my translation project so I'm biased, but To Heart 2 is a legend in charage that defined the genre for all that followed. The drama level is low.

Ranzo Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yeah, I guess for me is that I really don't know if it will be really good even though it might have legions of people just singing it's praises from on high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frullo NDE Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Edit: oops wrong thread. I am "scared" of VNs that are famous for being very long and also I don't feel like starting "important" titles when I am quite busy, so yeah.

ztrepzilius Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Quite similar but I complete what I assume to be low quality first before the higher ones. I have a backlog list for that. Edited April 5, 2019 by ztrepzilius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
