Remember to pay it forward!!!

I enjoy all of them for very similar reasons - I like a good story told well, no matter what format it's in.

They don't replace other forms of media but sometimes they are nice as an alternative, I enjoy them because of the variety of ways they use to tell a story.
You can go from kinetic novels to "regular" VNs with some choices and multiple paths all the way to choose-your-own-adventure styled choice-a-thons, with or without gameplay to accompany them.

I usually don't enjoy VNs at all (hate the anime style), this one looks appealing to me. Probably because its art is not cancer to my eyes...

I simply like a good story and enjoy anime aesthetic often used in them.

Just another smiley thing...

VN hmm I like HOPAs better :D But I've read some good VNs over the years, even though they all seem a bit too longwinded for me. My fav VN is Cinders, and for a hybrid genre Long Live the Queen.

I love VN that has touching story and nice voice acting, especially after watching higurashi and planetarian(sotry similar to the game), the feels of reading the VN make it more interesting despite its nearly similar but it refreshes my memory and other VN that has different ending with the choices also ignite my flame of curiosity to reach the ending of different path.

to be honest i never played a vn but i heard they have great stories :D

I'm not excluding anything;)

I find VN's to be a completely different form of "game" or "book" or even "comic".... I especially like the one's that allow different story lines to unfold based on choices - if they're done well and don't just lead your around in circles to an unfulfilling ending. This one has been on my wishlist for a while - mostly due to the artwork :-)

Not had much opportunity to get into a good VN for a good few months now, hoping with the Christmas rush out of the way might have more time before long to get back into them, spent a bit of time on other games when can, even if not actively playing. Got a couple lined up that haven't played, or others, just keen to replay... Hoshizora no Memoria pops up in my mind quite a bit. It was a rather powerful story as you dwelled further into it.

I tend to enjoy them not as a book -- I hate reading books. Too much text on a page, its easy to let your mind wander. But visual novels; whether with or without sound, I think one of the first ones I read was [Snow Sakura], followed by some much shorter ones, like Brass...something? Where the protagonist loses an arm in a train accident, and continues to play instruments. Non-H.
One of the most powerful, least in the first ones I ever read, must be Kira☆Kira. I refused to read it again for two months after doing Kirari's normal route

I'm actually playing this game right now! The story has me hooked, and when Mai smiled, I smiled. I am really enjoying this one!:)
