XII360 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 so, we covered if you guy's finish a story fully, or just partially on the novel's, but we have one important question, that has yet to be answered. and that is novel genre's that you like, and hate ~! so, what are the novel genre's you cant stand, and would drop the novel and or not read it at all and skip through to the next novel ? for me, lets see, probably otome/BL (boy love) or yaoi are no go for me, they just...feel more centered on female audience, rather than males, (or gay's, i dont judge), guro is..debatable, if its hard core guro on my best girl, then im opening the door on my way out, probably leaving a bag of "just no" notes there, if its soft gore, like part of story that wont kill off best girl, then i can probably read through it (i.e yandere-like story), and also "mecha", just doesn't get me as excited as other's, i dont hate mecha, i just..somewhat dont understand it ?!, but i can read mecha-genre'd novels, its just i somewhat prefer not to 90% of the time (which leads me to skipping on reading it), and also any form of "manipulation"/NTR-ish, if it contains r18 stuff, is "yeanobye", but to be fair, 90% of those tags just drive me off as for genre's i like, i like almost all tag's, vanilla story especially, isekai, comedy, sci-fi, they are hella fun for me, and just makes me read them, but it all depends on how likeable the character in the novel is, if i read through it fully or skim through~ comedy is somewhat an important aspect, as it wakes me up when reading novel's, and give me some joke ideas >.> so to sum it up on TLDR; Hates--> BL, hardcore guro, anyform of manipulation/NTR debatable/sometimes okay--> Soft guro, mecha that's my taste buds bruh--> vanilla-story, isekai,comedy,sci-fi but what about you ?!, what type of genre's do you skip through, and what genre's do you insta "i must read this", disregarding artstyle of the novel ?! lets have a...dis...cu-cushion...b-below.. !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decimo Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Literally as long as it's not NTR I'm open to anything. I'm also not into otome or same-sex VNs. If it's actually funny or has an interesting premise or story, that's a huge plus for me. Edited August 24, 2018 by Decimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geano Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 As far as genres go I can't say there is one I hate just like anime I am far more forging of VNs, and anime then I am of western style media. In terms of my favorite genre I'm not afraid to admit that is is Echi I won't go to much into that as we are a all ages community, but thats my most favorite. Often these stories can be very well written with very good character development. Apart from this I tend to go for slice of life, fantasy/scfi stores. Though I am not to picky.

Does this mean that you prefer Eroge over Galge for the most part then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty much how I look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondake Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Personally, I prefer drama and horror. I don't really enjoy romance or mystery visual novels, even if I happen to run into a lot of the latter genre because many of them are considered to be kamige. Mystery stories are fine, but I find that a number of them tend to have a boring story and characters, like Ever17 and Root Double. I also don't like happy endings that are wrapped up neatly with a bow on top. I prefer more realistic endings that address the kind of conflict the characters had to go through. Above all else, I guess I prefer tragedies over happy stories. I find them literally more stimulating than peaceful and relaxing stories. Tragic stories literally trigger your senses and emotions far more than relaxing stories would. I like that emotional stimulation. I like it when a VN gets me to feel such intense feelings.
