The only VNs I've read are the Nitro+Chiral BL games, and though I enjoy them, they're sort of badly written. My Japanese isn't even all that great, and I still get really irritated by the repetition of certain turns of phrase you see in all the Nitro games... let's not even get into all the tired old BL cliches and constant rape.

I tried reading Fate/Stay Night, but it's so looooong and there's so much stuff that, if it had been a professionally-edited novel, would just have been edited OUT. So much totally unnecessary, trivial bullshit that's totally irrelevant to the plot. I just lost patience with it. Also, Shiro is obnoxious. I wish the entire thing were from Rin's standpoint. THAT would be an interesting story.

I guess my problem with the (admittedly limited selection) of VN that I have read is the bad writing; it's like shit-tier light novel level. And of course by that I mean most light novels are shit-tier.

Not to mention that a lot of the time, the decisions seem to be so weakly connected to the consequences... they just seem so random and pasted-on, like "take a photo of this or not?" and then it affects if some character dies later on. what? was I supposed to connect those two things? You're pretty much forced to consult the internet to see the ending you want.

I don't know, maybe I'm not reading the right stuff. I've heard Saya no Uta is good and it's definitely on my list. I'm into accepting any recs you have, I'm OK with hentai or BL, too.

oh, and if I didn't make it clear, I do speak Japanese, so I don't need fan translations or anything. I'm actually trying to read more stuff in Japanese lately. I will say that VNs tend to hold my attention more than print novels, maybe it's the voice-acting (not that all are voice-acted...).
