Can you learn Japanese from reading VN? I learned basic English reading western comics but that was easier for me since I'm an eurofag.

No you can't. The only way to learn Japanese is to watch kabuki and read poetry.

the only use for knowing japanese is reading VN, so what's the point?

You can learn advanced Japanese and kanji from VN, but you'll need a solid background in hirigana and basic sentence structure first.

You can't learn Japanese. Or, let me emphasize: YOU can't learn Japanese.

What if you already have a solid base with hira/kata and know around 50~80 kanjis, like the most common ones like 私,行,,人,食 etc.

I'm still wondering what kind of VN I should read first. I tried to read some of the threads in 2chan + dictionary but there's just too much kanjis at once to handle. Not to mention that I wonder if it really is a viable way, considering that most of the guys here are probably just trolling all day.
