anyone else here that used to be on r/visualnovels or r/otomegames? i’m playing through jack jeanne right now and having a blast. what VNs have you all been playing/reading lately?
I was also a lurker on those subreddits, although I mostly just used the r/visualnovels suggestions list to help pick what to read.
Recently I finished both Fate/stay Night and The Fruit of Grisaia after many months (years?) of on and off reading. Maybe not an achievement in the traditional sense of the word, but in the VN world it feels like one lol. I was a big fan of the characters and somewhat flippant tone of Grisaia, and despite the lack of realism I think it still handles its subject matter pretty seriously. Perhaps it’s an unpopular opinion, but I was a bit more critical of FSN, and I probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you were already interested in the world-building from being exposed to the anime.
Michiru is definitely a solid pick. That was my second route, and probably my second favorite too (I think I must give the win to Sachi though). I’ve only played about an hour or two of Labyrinth of Grisaia so far, and although I didn’t think Fruit really needed a sequel, I’m interested to see where else they take it.

I really enjoyed Fruits of Grisia. It got pretty insane in places. Michiru supremacy ftw.
