| I know manga is considered "better" than anime, but how does it compare against visual novels? |
| The source material is usually considered better regardless of the medium. |

| @Lucifrost There are some exceptions like Treasure Planet which was based on the Treasure Island book... I think. |

| @Absurdo_N Is that so? I didn't know Treasure Planet was so acclaimed. |

| @Lucifrost Treasure Planet has become a cult Disney cartoon according to some fans, but in my mere opinion it's better than the source material(book). |

| I prefer Manga as I can't easily get into VNs, i get bored and/or distracted very easily. I still have VNs I started years ago that I've not finished, and I'd rather read an actual book/novel over these. |
 |
| I find manga more gripping personally but I do believe it is a matter of taste. |
| Manga or Visual Novels? Depends which one is the source material, if it's a visual novel then visual novel if it's manga then manga. |

| I just read manga and watch anime. To date, visual novels and light novels don't appeal to me. |
| I prefer manga over visual novels for some unexplainable reason. |
| I love visual novels, sadly most of them aren't my cup of tea. |

| Visual novels, hands down. Nothing provides a more immersive story experience. |
| Manga, there's some cool VNs but a large portion of them just feel like gooning material. |

| If it's an adaptation, then depends on what the source material is. I think in most cases it's an adaptation from VN to manga, so the VN would most likely be better since it's the original. If comparing them as media.. I guess I prefer manga. VNs are very time consuming and sometimes there are routes I don't care about but have to go through to know the true end. I'm also not a big fan of the concept of branching stories, unless there's one that's considered a "true ending" or there's a story behind the different branches like a parallel timeline in time travel stories, so there's one main plot. |
| Visual novels have no business being so expensive for what they are. So I don't even consider playing a visual novel. I played the visual novel of Steins;gate but it was ... the anime made some changes that improved it (like removing the Mayuri/Okabe romance). |
| They are just different. I suspect it's easier for someone who enjoys visual novels to enjoy manga more often than someone into manga enjoy visual novels. It just depends on your tastes. Only issue I have with visual novels is how long it takes to read through even small number of lines and sometimes looping music can get on my nerves. |
