| Which visual novels were not worth playing through? |
| Princess Evangile and ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two are at the bottom of my list. The prior because it was a contrived premise with no single hook anywhere in the story, and the only fun character didn't have a route. Despite my dislike for big-oppai blondes, whatsherface with the ferret pet was way more interesting than all the other girls. The latter because I couldn't give any less of a shit about a romance with a cast of Stalins and Hitlers. |

| Sakura series. Or non-Japanese VNs in general - almost all of those are shit-tier copypasta from JP VNs. You can count exceptions on your fingers. Asking such question here is a bad idea tough, because people will just list perfectly random titles, regardless of their quality. I mean, one of the best visual novels out there was already mentioned in the very first reply, because the characters apparently somehow resembled dictators, which isn't even remotely sensible... -.-' |
| the worst one iv played was synphonic rain it was so god damn boring and the writing was a mess alot of people seem to like it thouge i have no clue why i could only bring myself to play one route for it the other routes migth be better and dont get me started on the stupid mini game atleast there was a option for it to auto play |

| Most nukige. |
 |
| Yandere is the most repulsive VN I've ever had the misery of playing at least And I even like Yandere characters normally but this... |

| The worst visual novels are probably mostly among the ones that only sell a few copies at comiket and then die a quick obscure death. |

Successful visual novels can still be bad but not the worst. |
DateYutaka said: Yeah but the ones no one in Japan cares about to begin with probably aren't very noteworthyLaniaka said: Which is why I said among the ones. I'm not saying that they're all bad.

Very popular for some reason. And yeah, whatever I'm saying is not even the point of my forum |
| Generally any of the ones that are just an ero dating sim. The few that I've tried because of friend recommendation have usually bored me to tears. |
| I don't usually play visual novels but when I do, I expect them to be good because it has to be some noteworthy stuff to grab my attention. And from my experience, I have to say that Virtue's Last Reward and Hotel Dusk: Room 215 are the worst visual novels I've ever played. |

| Anything that's translated. hurr hurr, elitism. Hanahira, Sakura Spirit, Go Go Nippon, Totono, and Katawa Shoujo were all pretty abysmal from what I can remember of them. I try to avoid most of the garbage that's out there since my backlog for good eroge is already so damn massive. |

I actually found Katawa Shoujo to be good lol Mine probably would be X change... couldn't get past the 3rd scene |

Narmy said: Fixed. I don't care if it's elitist or whatever, but almost all translated nukiges that I have read were quite awful, while most untranslated ones were quite decent - not only H-wise but even story-wise (by nukige standards of course).Most *translated* nukige. Laniaka said: Sakura series was rather successful. Even with decent art as it's redeeming quality, everything else is so bad that it's still among the worst crap out there. :PFor something to be successful it needs to have at least some redeeming qualities.

CaimTheJoyful said: Which is why it got enough fan support to get a third game...in terms of story it is probably the best that VN's have to offer. Also a fantastic dub. 999 was just as ridiculous so I'm not sure what your trying to say.Vanisher said: Bruh, it suckedF*ck u Caim, VLR was good :( |

Narmy said: There's no point in playing uncensored ones, when most of them: 1) offer either extremely boring vanilla, or extremely stupid rape (that's actually similar to vanilla, because all girls instantly turn into sex-addicts and start enjoying it), 2) feature girls with seriously oversized boobs, 3) and have plots that are so stupid it's a bigger turn-off than MILFs.Untranslated nukige are all censored, so there's little point in playing them. Titles from the SonoHana series are probably the only translated nukiges that I liked (and those are fan-translated = censored anyway). I prefer eroge with not-utterly-retarded storylines, at least somewhat interesting/likeable characters and decently written H-scenes, preferably featuring a variety of (weird) fetishes. Sure, it would be nice to have them uncensored, but I got used to mosaics, so it's not a big deal for me. |
