Visual Novel fans of /vip/, I have a very important topic worthy of this board.
When you play a (not decades old) Visual Novel, you use auto-play, right? How do you compensate for it with the game? Like, I can't get it to balance where I can read short-dialogue boxes before they move on but I don't have to wait half a minute every time a longer line of dialogue pops up. It's not a problem with VNs that use the full screen for text most of the time, but when short lines like pic related disapear before they even fully transition onto the screen, it just fucks the experience up. I either have to keep checking the log to make sure I didn't miss a short but important line, or just accept that I can't read short lines.
So, what do you do? Is there some trick where the sliders line up so you can see every line of dialogue without needing to wait half a minute or more whenever a longer line ends?

I dont use auto play it's cancer, i click very fast

Really? That just seems like a good way to fuck up your mouse, with the amount of VN I've been reading I'd be clicking it hundreds of thousands of times extra.
I want to sit back and relax while enjoying something that isn't as cancerously audience-friendly as anime. It can't work with VN well?

Stop buying fragile, used, cumstained mice. Hundreds of thousands of times extra is still completely negligible, assuming you're clicking and not slamming with a hammer.
Learn to use input devices while sitting back and relaxing.
This complaint is like saying subtitles are useless because you cannot adjust them to your reading speed. Which is 100% ridiculous, as in literally worthy of ridicule. It's even more fitting because auto-play is a crutch too, though a lesser one.

This, i read faster than autoplay and it feels like eternity when i turn it on

only with fully voiced games, if not its clicks all day.

for me it depends on whats being said and the context. i like to be absorb in the setting of the game at times.

I just click. I like tricking myself into thinking I'm still playing a game, so I enjoy the minimal interaction I need with the game to progress the dialogue. If you're truly concerned about wanting to kick back and relax, modern VNs tend to have controller support, so get yourself a lightweight, easy to hold controller, and just tap the A button whenever you need to
