Visual Novel
A visual novel is a video game genre with Japanese roots. It is a self-insert medium play by people with no lives. It generally has prerendered backgrounds with text, accompanied sometimes by voice acting. Typically in these games the player is presented with various decisions that controls the ultimate outcome of the narrative. These decision points convince the fat man sitting on the computer playing these games that have any real agency in their empty lives within the basement.
Not to be confused with dating sims. Those actually have gameplay.
Types of visual novels
In the interests of catering to pedantic autists, visual novel players place their shlock into useful categories based the content of the stories these "games" have.
- Nukige: Any game that puts sexual context at the forefront. Any plot is just used as an explanation for the next sex scene. Basically visual novels with intellectual honesty.
- Chuunige:
- Nakige:
- Utsuge:
- Charage:
- Otomoge: The interactive equivalent to Twilight. These games are basically the same shit as the above except you have a vagina and the objective is to get raped by anorexic twinks.
Examples of this trash.
- Air
- Ace Attorney
- Amorous Professor Cherry
- Danganronpa
- Doki Doki Literature Club
- Fate/stay night
- Higurashi
- Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme
