Hey /jp/ im really new to visual novels, and i just completed Katawa Shoujo, what are some other good visual novels that are like that? you know, romance, multiple routes/multiple girls you can get in the end.

I find it bizarre that if you really liked it (which is possible if it was your first vn) that you would just stop there and have 2k threads about it, instead of playing far superior titles.

The list of VNs that that DOESN'T describe is pretty damn short.

Also, check the rules. Katawa Shoujo isn't allowed in /jp/.

I played the burned girl route and just couldn't bring myself to start another after the ending. It was just awkward.

You've got a point, but for people who it is gateway vn and they go read better vn's. KS might probably hold a special place being their first.

Not saying it's right, but maybe that's why they hold the fuck onto it like that.

>> No.12168112

In a way it's better that they have that, I wouldn't feel comfortable if they had 2k+ kana or saya threads instead.

>> No.12168113

>>12168106
Yeah, I'm not denying that. I liked some pretty awful shit when I first started reading VNs, too. It's just a bit sad that they don't move on and read better things. There's some pretty cool shit out there even if you don't know Japanese.

I read 3 routes but after reading the route of the running girl i had absolutely no motivation left to finish the rest. You could completely guess the whole plot and every twist once her mother appeared at that one race. I thought i was missing something at first and that maybe it's not real ending but no.

>> No.12168130

>>12168113
At least you didn't read Wanko thinking it was just going to be cute animal girls the vn with no lewd happenings whatsoever. Man, that was a discovery.

I do need to get back to reading some more VNs, kind of sort of not really working yumina the ethereal.

>>12168112
It'd be a little weird sure, but that's just a larger pool of people you could have fun talking about it about. Now, I know I say that but there are always people who seem to like something for the worst reasons. Also, it would get rid of that good feeling when you recommend something to someone and they really get into it.

I liked it. Still do, but yeah fuck those guys.
I went on to read other vn's and KS isnt even in my top 5. (Higurashi, Ever17, Remember11, Chaos;Head and I/O)

It was good, (better than YMK) but fucking hell. I hear it's just a fanfiction and tripfag circlejerk now. For the best really. If it was destroyed they may spread to other vn threads. Atleast they are contained now.

>> No.12168184

I've been waiting for them to make a kickstarter for a sequel. Anything with a following gets funded and they would get rich.

>> No.12168220

For years I thought about making a vn myself but then realized that I wouldn't be happy if got ignored or worse still if it got as popular as ks.

Not really related but whatever.

It will tell you what VNs there are, what they're like, and whether or not they're translated.

Once you've played other VNs, never bring up Katawa Shoujo again on /jp/. We're a bunch of elitists that can't stand the fact that a single game that's no different form your average moege became popular due to being made in the West and we can't stand the obnoxious fanbase it spawned ("I've never read any other VNs but KS IS THE BEST VN EVER!").

Why wouldn't they be able to? It's just a glorified picture book. Assuming they weren't trying to use Japanese art they could make a "visual novel" as good as anyone else. All a "good VN" really boils down to in the first place would be "good writing" unless the art was exceptionally shit, and if you think the elevens can write better than the West you're fucking crazy.

I'm not saying KS was great or anything, but to assume that all of the West can't create a better VN than Japan's newest "Fuck dat kawaii nigga simulator 9830" title using KS as a benchmark is ridiculous.

How does a game where you are a teacher that legally spies on his students text messages, helps sort out their relationship problems and gets in his own relationship with a student?

If that sounds good to you, play 'Don't take it personally, babe, it's not your story'. It won't take more than a few hours to play and it's free. Digital: A Love Story, was made by the same developer, and free, but it's not at all like Katawa Shoujo.

I thought VNs were supposed to be an escape from the shit of daily life in the real life.

This is more along the lines of what would happen if a taco truck fucked a hot topic and /cgl/ babysat the offspring until age 21.
