I want a visual novel recommendation

When I'm looking for a new, guaranteed good VN to play i usually look at this list.

Otherwise i can see that you didn't read Muv Luv yet, which is pretty good. Just beware that (if you decide to read it) it is so freaking long. I personally had a hard time getting into it because it has a slow start.
When you reach Muv Luv: Alternative you're gonna love it.

I don't think i can really get you something that has mainstream appeal like Dangan Ronpa, and i don't know your tolerance for ero considering most of what you have read is non-ero.

I suppose you could try one of these:

Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo - I'm recommending this because you've read G-senjou no Maou and it has the same author and a similar style, but takes place in a rural dystopian setting. It has some pretty great twists and enjoyable characters. The MC is pretty witty.

Tokyo Babel - A non-ero, fairly good action/chunni VN that boasts a grade A voice cast, among a decently fleshed out setting. Its basically fully voiced and relatively short (I might have actually 100% it in ~30 hours +- a few). It has a pretty likable character cast with a stoic MC.

thanks for replying and about sharin no kuni, I played like an hour on it and it feels really weird and how the main character acts is strange too so I got lazy to get on it again, I might get back to it but first I need some motivation to do that.
I will definitely check out Tokyo bible btw thanks for recommending that and I actually don't really mind ero games as long as it is not the main focus.

As for Sharin no Kuni, when you said the Main character acts strange, trust me there is actually a reason for this. I'd go into more detail, but i don't want to spoil it. Since it seems like you enjoyed G-senjou no Maou, i'd say you'd PROBABLY enjoy that one unless the setting really bothers you or something.

Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. It's a very complex, long VN, but very thrilling. I've been reading the manga, but I've heard wonderful things about the VN.

Pretty much this, I'm almost done with the manga so I can say that even if the VN is better its only better by a smidge. I mean the ratings speak for themselves.

Kuro-Sama1 said:


I'm a little more half-way finished with the series, and it's very good. Like you said, the ratings say everything.

I'd say 999 if you have a DS sinceyou liked danganronpa. Ever17(PC) is great too.Actually those 3 have the same writer so expect mindfuckery twists from those that I've mentioned.

Saya no Uta would also be right up your alley.It's short but man what a great short experience it was.

For Umineko, this is a very unique mystery VN. Depicting almost everything in a fantasy way,it can get really frustrating and add the fact that it could take you so many hours to finish, I cant blame you for stalling it(or is that ur reason?).This VN,you must really think the whole time.Figuring out the truth behind the witch's illusion was the greatest thing you could ever get from the series.Ye you must find the truth yourself which is very annoying because even if you did arrive at the truth(I dont even know if anyone did that), you can't prove that it really is the truth because the fucking author won't Say a damn
thing about it.Really,fuck Ryukishi07 !! In this case, you're better off just reading the manga.I dont know if it'll reveal the truth but most ppl say its better than the VN.

I thought Symphonic Rain had a good story and I liked the songs there so I'll recommend that to you. Also if you like Little Busters and Rewrite, Clannad was pretty fun to play if you haven't tried that one already.

Is nice to see Danganronpa fans ^^ i loved the 2º game a lot :D

Regarding the VNs "Steins;Gate" and "Katawa Shoujo" are pretty good, but if you are looking for something similar to DR i guess the most similar one you have is the Ace Attorney games.

Seidou_Takizawa said:

Steins;Gate anime follows for the most part the VN with some exceptions and the VN give more characterization to the female characters having romantic routes with them. I wouldn't consider necessary that the VN is better than the anime but is still great non the less :)
Oh cool, the Rin route is my favorite one ^^
Ace Attorney follows the same pattern that DR having to find clues and doing the trials. I dont enjoy it as much as DR but is still interesting game to play if you are interested ;D

but I heard a lot bad things about the second game of umineko which I'm not sure I I wanna spend so many hours just to get disappointed by the second game

Major123 said:
I just finished the second half of the manga so episodes 5-8, and I gotta say it was the best piece of fiction I've read in a long time. Idk about the VN but the manga is fucking fantastic, it also has extra scenes not in the VN that helps explains what happens better.

RaijinBlade said:
wow then I just need to jump on that manga then, thanks a lot that is really helpful
