Any suggestions as to what would be a good start (for somebody not necessarily looking to crycrycry), and where the heck would I get it? And is it self-explanatory how the stuff works, or should I look for a guide - "How to read a visual novel" or something like that? Fate/Stay-night is pretty good for a first. It has it's sad moments, but it's mostly just badass. You can find a torrent for the game and I'm sure you could just google the fan-translation. | ||

I started fate/stay night but it was a bit annyoing since I was after heavens feel and I have to get through the other two first (the first one is the one that annoys me since i already saw the anime,ubw not as much since the movie was far too short), hehe. I could read the recommended VNs if I can get my hands on them but since I just want story I sort of dislike the fact that you easily (in fate at least) die, lol. Felt like I hade to save before every choice. Ill give it a shot though. Sorry for spelling mistakes etc first post i make from a phone. | ||

For a first one I'd definitively recommend Planetarian and/or Katawa Shoujo. Both are very simple, relatively short and give you a basic idea of how VNs end up working. The former lacks actual choices though and the latter lacks voice acting + Show Spoiler + and has its fair share of haters, especially among veterans ![]() Or if you hate your life and wish to cause mental trauma to yourself you could go for + Show Spoiler + | ||

Planetarian was my first VN and I think Kana was the second or at the very least among the first few. Agreed with Planetarian as a good introduction. I would suggest reading Kana first before Yume Miru Kusuri (though very much agreed with Elem, it's very good) | ||

I was lucky enough to have played the game before watching the anime which obviously makes the first path a lot more pleasant. Still for me the game really shines with the last two, especially UBW! and guys he was not looking for crycrycry ![]() | ||
