Not OP here but recenly I played Snow Sakura as my first VN/datingsim/etc

Question is: Do most VN's have oceans of text to wade through like this with little choice?

I didn't not like and rather thought it fun and did cousin end.

I think Snow Sakura has a very low number of choices compared to other VNs, especially since most of them are in the first half of the game.

>> No.1005033

>>1004564

"Visual" just means there's a strong emphasis on visual elements towards the experience.

"Novel" just refers to the level and depth of the language.

Dating sims (as in, STATS UP, TAP THE BUTTON TO SWIM FASTER, ect) =/= VN

People often get that wrong

I started off with Tokimeki Check In as my first eroge which a hop/skip/jump away from my favorite eroge series, X-Change series.

Season of the Sakura is a true classic. Good character development (featuring palette swapped Evangelion and Rayearth characters!), fappable and non-disgusting sex scenes. I especially like how it handles the part where you have to pick only one girl at the end, as there is a reasonably good end even for the rejected candidates.

Home of the Underdogs has a good review (but no download):

This thread reminded me that i too, had yet to play a vn.
I downloaded Tsukihime and have been playing it for 9 hours now...
While i do find the story entertaining, i downloaded it for the sake of fapping.
how much sex is there supposed to be? so far, i have only seen a dream sequence.
Am i fucking up, or is that all there is so far? in day 7 now.

If it wasn't for Taka-jun we probably wouldn't have even Tsukihime up to this day. He's just a prolific dude who happens to be a huge nasufag.

Some faggots are translating Saya no Uta and Devil on a G String so maybe someday before I die of old age we will have a translated eroge with good art and compelling story...

You should probably download the 0.94 patch off Hongfire for the koeicon and guide to installing the patch.

But there's really no difference, just the one on /rs/ translates After Story.
