But they can and do, do you think the word "crack" sounds the same as "smooth"?

The only edge visual novels have over conventional novels are sex scenes

I like visual novels as a medium, but it's hindered by the people actually writing them.

The only competent VN writer is Ryukishi07, and even then he's a kind of shit writer.

Really, really nice ideas though, but his prose is really meh.

Maybe...probably not.

Words are inherently superior to pictures. Pictures are cavemen shit. Words are what ascended mankind.

Was thinking of this earlier.

The visual novel is a nearly untapped artistic medium. Save for just barely a few titles, most visual novels today are little more than hentai.

It's a real shame. The medium can potentially have the best of both film and literature. It can have the perfect voices and illustrations for characters and atmospheric settings and backdrops, but also provide the critical depth present only in books. But, again, it's a massive shame, because almost all of it is otaku drek that stretches on for DAYS.

The only notable VN I can even think of is Saya no Uta, which is probably my favorite horror story of all time, save for its fucking redundant and ill-fitting sex scenes.

I'd love to spearhead the new western movement of visual novels or something like that and prove that it's a medium that has the potential to be respected, but I just don't have the time at the moment. If anyone else wishes to be the vanguard, by all means let me know.
