Today, we find Geek Boy in one of his most ideal sets of conditions. It's like a haven in which he can experience all of his favorite things at the same time. Learn all about it today!
Visual Novels (VNs) conceptually are possibly the most wonderful things that exist. My culture, as I'm sure you've seen, is one of games, music, anime, and not English. VNs combine all of these things into one convenient package.
VNs are essentially the supercharged, Japanese form of a choose-your-own-adventure book. Their most basic element is their story, but they also include beautiful illustrations, voice acting for dialogue, background music, movie clips, interactive decision-making, and sometimes even more. Some VNs also include aspects targeted more towards gamers, such as war tactics.
A few VNs have been translated into English (yes, English is still the language I'm most familiar with, despite my being Asian), but they haven't really gained much audience in America or Europe. They're more of a niche thing. To be honest, I actually haven't really gotten into them too much, either. Perhaps I'm just not ready for them yet in terms of reconciling their potential for suiting me perfectly. Maybe I'm just too involved in some parts of my culture more than others, making a VN seem too balanced for my unbalanced nature. Whatever the reason, I do still feel like VNs would be perfect for my culture and I will probably explore them sometime in the future.
