Koioniaku Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I've read quite a few long, multiple route VNs, but my ADHD makes it incredibly difficult to stay focused on them. Could someone recommend some Kinetic novels, or visual novels with only one ending? I think it will be good to have some more linear stories to read in between ginormous multi-route stories.

I'll be soon reading it for the third time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandemonai Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If what you really mean is 'short VN', I'll recommend Saya no Uta. It's not technically a kinetic novel, but it's got like 2 choices and it's not a long game at all. Also can't believe nobody's mentioned Nekopara or Neko-nin yet. Sure, they're not the greatest, but a short mix-it-up game in between longer games doesn't have to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remake features high quality artwork in higher resolution, lots of effects and animations, and full voice-acting. The H-scenes are intact, the CGs were only slightly censored. It's also the same translation, made by THE Makoto, with very slight changes. In conclusion, you should play the remake (15+ version).

AustriaVNFan Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 ChuSinGura 46+1 is an interesting kinetic novel although it is pretty long - too long for 'in between' Koioniaku 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The Karakara games are short and kinetic, and they have wonderful translations. Volume 1 is a pretty simple, pleasant read. Volume 2 ends on a cliffhanger, though... hopefully volume 3 will be out before too long. The World End Economica series. Each volume is medium-short length and kinetic, as well as self-contained. Mercifully, this one is now entirely released. The translation is... sometimes not as great, for this series, but pretty much anybody who isn't picky like me should be fine with it. It's from the Spice and Wolf guy, so expect a whole lot of economics talk, though. Kind of a niche game, I suppose, but I enjoyed the ride. The Grisaia: Phantom Trigger series (no, you absolutely do not need to have read any of the original Grisaia trilogy first); each volume is short and kinetic, and also self-contained. Also have very solid translations. It's nearly done now, probably? At least as far as I've read (through 5.5), you never feel like you're ending a volume on a cliffhanger, so you don't need to feel obligated to read them in a row or anything.

littleshogun Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Late to the party here, but just in case you still looking for the VNs here perhaps I can recommend Sorcery Jokers, Narcissu duology, Higanbana duology, Rose Guns Days, and fault duology (Even though the story is still continuing). I hope my recommendations here will be helpful to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0xm2n Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 * Planetarian . Fairly short, and quite memorable.... * *Eden . Top notch visuals and music. Interesting setting too... * ef- a fairy tale of the two . Kinetic'ish (only a few choices, and one route). Comes in two parts. Has some powerful themes. * Sorcery Jokers . Kinect'ish (no branching paths, you get to choose which character to view events from, you'll be viewing all events to progress anyways). Quite a lot of action in this urban fantasy. * Nekopara series. If you want something absurdly silly, cute ...... and lewd * Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru . A kinetic, Magic girl spinoff of the Grisaia series * Voices from the Sea . Fairly short. You might like it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
