it may be that the final two novels are still very good, but as someone who had been enjoying the story unfolding in prose and, in part, the surprises that came with it, I feel a little kicked in the teeth.

When it got to the point that he allowed the TV series to take precedence over the novel as main source material was when I jumped ship and started agreeing with this viewpoint. Anyway, because, like most people, I like writing about my experiences with new things, I’ve decided to try and read VNs a little systematically so that I can see how they’ve progressed over time and to blog my thoughts as I go along – I’m not just going to read older VNs though because that would stupidly ignore the fact that we’re probably in the golden age right now … the only more recent VN I’ve read is Planetarian which was formally and experientially much stronger than the others that I’ve read.Īnyway, hi! I look forward to contributing a few thoughts and hopefully helping to bring VNs to the West. Visual Novels, however, are a different beast entirely and although I’ve so far only read a few– older ones like Eve: Burst Error and Divi-Dead - I’m fascinated by what the form can do, who there’s a need to approach the narrative differently from a written novel (again, I’ve read so many, I still love them but are less drawn to them) and the way one approaches reading them, in-between a book and a TV show, makes for a markedly different but just as rewarding experience. I tried getting into Light Novels but they don’t feel any fresher than western ones.
I’ve been itching to get into Visual Novels for years but the poor availability of translations as well as the time factor put me off a bit – I had other doorstop books to read like Game of Thrones. At one point in my life I thought I’d watched quite a lot, but actually I’ve barely scratched the surface.

I’ve always enjoyed an eclectic range of stuff – I think –and my favourite shows have ranged from Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and Rurouni Kenshin (that recent movie – glorious!) to Haruhi Suzamiya, Bakemonogatari, Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena. I’ve been something of an anime fan for over ten years now but in the last few years I’ve been struggling to keep up with the explosion of new series and I’ve found dipping casually into past classics is just as rewarding as voraciously devouring everything.
At 38 I’m probably tilting heavily on the wrong side of it, but soldiering on with my passions regardless. I don’t know what the average age of visual novel fanatics is.
