Visual novels that save their data in the root folder?

I know this sounds weird but I don't like having my documents folder cluttered with folders like G-STRING or GIGA and I have all my visual novels on a 64 gig flash drive so I like to have my save files where the game is. I know Most key visual novels do have the SAVEDATA folder in the root but I have already played most of them. Any good VNs that do have the save folder in the folder where the game is installed? I don't want to create a windows virtual machine on my usb to just fufill this stupid problem of mine.

EDIT: does anyone know if shuffle saves to root folder?

Eh reinstalled my comp last week so everything got wiped clean, but in my experience >80% of all VNs have their saves in the game folder, so this is rarely an issue.

Going off of memory though, Key, Akabeisoft, Eushully and Fuguriya games are the only ones I can think of that clutters up your documents folder.

Tons of stuff will want to use your Documents folder. It's inevitable and the most practical solution is to just not use the default windows document folder for personal stuff.

My advice is to create your own directories and completely avoid the default directories in the windows home folder.

yeah that's what I did, VN issues unrelated it's a pretty sensical thing to do if you have an SSD + a bigger harddrive or similar

So basically, non-smut versions of the games Sena from Haganai always plays? Neat. How would I go about picking up a few?

Not necessarily non-smut, depends on what you decide to play.

OT: Most of the VNs I played were like that, so don't worry about it. Actually, I didn't "install" most of them.
