They are defined as a book in which sprites are used to show emotion with pictures in the background showing the setting. All VNs have music and effect sounds and most have voices. Text is generally given to the reader in small sections and require you to click choices to further the story. Some VNs have branching stories that can become extremely complex depending on the novel (A good example of a cluster-fuck story is Fate\/Stay Night). Eroge is a type of VN that are for adult audiences and usually portray sexual themes.\r\n\r\n\t- Recommended websites for learning more and downloaded VNs -\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/nyaa.pantsu.cat\/ - The first place one should look for torrents and various weeb shit. Nyaa.pantsu.cat is the safe for work version and https:\/\/sukebei.pantsu.cat\/ is the r-18 version. Do know that the site may 404 every blue moon.\r\n\r\nnyaa.si - A fork of the original nyaa.se including *most* of the same content, but not all. Has a sukebei version as well for adult torrents (sukebei.nyaa.si)\r\n\r\nVNDB.org - A large database of released and in the making VNs and Eroge.\r\n\r\nmofumoe.org - Everything from the old fuwanovel for free.\r\n\r\nvisualnovelaer.fuwanovel.org - A development blog-esque website that shows currently being translated visual novels.\r\n\r\nErogedownload.com - A website that provides easy downloads for Eroge (NSFW VNs). However, it can contain SFW VNs. Using Jdownloader2 makes it less painful to use.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/visual-novels-general.wikia.com\/wiki\/Visual_Novels_General_Wiki - Old 4chan Visual Novel Wiki\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/vnjs.thatplayer.com\/ - A website where you can find some VNs that have been converted to HTML5\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/tss.asenheim.org\/ - This website allows you to play oldschool (PC88\/98) VNs online. It allows you to store saves on there as well. Can also be accessed on mobile devices.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.otakulair.com\/ - A blog that covers news of VNs in both Japan and the west. Whether it be kickstarters or VN releases. Also includes walkthrough for certain VNs.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/nicoblog.org\/genre\/visual-novel\/?post_types=pc-games,psx-iso,ps2-iso,ps3-iso,psp,psvita,snes-rom,gcn-iso,wii-iso,gba-roms,nds-roms,3ds-rom\r\nHere you can download VNs directly and not from torrents like Nyaa. And like Erogedownload, Jdownloader2 makes it easier to download.\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\n\t- Terms for newbies taken from some faggot named Rockmandash -\r\n\r\nKinetic Novel - Kinetic novels are visual novels without choices, so all you do is read.\r\n\r\nSound Novel - Sound novels is a trademark from Chunsoft. The term is the original word referring to novel type games. However \"Visual Novels\" became prevalent due to other companies using it in order to avoid the company's trademark.\r\nThis term later was known because of Higurashi, which used it because the sound was more important than the actual visuals, so they called it a sound novel. 07th Expansion's sound novels are essentially kinetic novels with a focus on sound to create an atmosphere.\r\n\r\nDating Sim - Technically, this term refers to simulation games focused on dating. However, this term is frequently used by English speakers to describe any romance-driven game, regardless of game mechanics used.\r\n\r\nEroge - An eroge (\u30a8\u30ed\u30b2\u30fc or \u30a8\u30ed\u30b2 erog\u0113); is a portmanteau of the words erotic game. This is a blanket term for any game that includes NSFW content.\r\n\r\nNakige - A game that produces emotional catharisis (touching your heart, making you cry, etc), with a good ending.\r\n\r\nUtsuge - Games that are made with the intent of making you depressed. More extreme than Nakiges\r\n\r\nMoege - A VN where the focus is on moe (look it up if you don\u2019t know it).\r\n\r\nCharage - Sub-genre of Moege where the focus is on character development.\r\n\r\nNukige - A sub-genre of Visual Novels which focus on the erotic content.\r\n\r\n\t- Some other terms -\r\n\r\nRoutes - The name that refers to a story line in visual novels. Non-linear branching story lines are a common trend in visual novels, and these branching story lines are routes.\r\n\r\nGood-end\/Bad-end - The ending of a route in a Visual Novel. Depending on what happens, it can be called either good or bad. (E.G. You get your head cut off = bad-end. You live together happily with a heroine = good-end)\r\n\r\nHarem - A trope characterized by a protagonist surrounded by three or more members of the opposing sex who are usually love interests. Harem usually refers to a male protagonist with female love interests, while stuff with females with male love interests are referred to as reverse harems. This subgenre is extremely popular in the Visual Novel world because of how easily it is to incorporate branching stories to it.\r\nBish\u014djo (Bishoujo) game - This term designates any game involving a male lead dating pretty anime girls. The word \"bish\u014djo\" literally means \"pretty young girl\". \"Girl game\" and \"gal game\" are also used to describe this sub-genre. Not really used here in the west.\r\n\r\nOtome game - This term designates any romantic game involving a female lead\u2026 so the exact opposite. Translated literally, Otome game means \"maiden game\". They are also referred to as a \"reverse harem\".\r\n\r\nBoy's Love game - This term designates any game involving a male lead dating pretty anime boys in a homosexual relationship. \"BL game\" and \"Yaoi\" are terms also used to describe these games. This sub-genre is primarily geared toward a female audience.\r\n\r\n\t- Fonts -\r\n\r\nMost of the downloads here will include to install if required.

For the most part, you will have to purchase the JP game from sites like DLsite and Melonbooks (or their home site you can find on the VNDB) to really support the developers. Publishers who put games on Steam usually censor the games to be all ages as they cannot sell pornographic games. Avoid purchasing from Sekai Project and Steam if possible. Some VNs are safe for work from the start and you can get them physical on the Vita. Amazon.co.jp can also sell VNs however you will need to use a forwarding\/Proxy service like Biginjap to import adult games.\r\n\r\n\"What's Sekai Project and why shouldn't I support them if they're translating VNs I like?\r\nThey are scummy publishers who mismanage money (which is why they constantly need kickstarters for VNs despite selling plenty through the year) and buy the licenses for IPs that are being fan translated (because they know people are looking forward to it) just to sit on them for ages on end. They are trying to run a monopoloy on the VN scene and are responsible for slowly killing off the fan translation scene. When they finally do get around to translating certain VNs, they do it at a slower pace than many fan translators and at a lower quality. If that wasn't bad enough, they are well known to not make all their promises when they do a kickstarter. If they don't add an 18+ version on Denpasoft, then expect none in general. Overall, supporting Sekai Project is bad for everyone.\r\n\r\n\"I have no problems reading Japanese and would like to import a VN. How would I go about doing that?\"\r\nBiginjapan.com and Whiterabbitexpress.com handle forwarding and proxy services. Send them the page of the product you want to purchase and they can ship it to you for a price.\r\n\r\n\"My game is having some problems. Where can I find a solution?\"\r\nSee if there's a solution of the game on either Nicoblog or Fuwanovel's comments section. They've most likely had the same problem and found a way to solve it."}
