Michael Myers 10 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hello everyone, Today I was thinking about visual novels in general and I began to question how exactly did I even get into them. I'm almost positive this has been brought before, but as I'm new here I wouldn't know. Anyways, I thought it'd be cool to hear from others of what got them started. For me, it was after watching the anime 'Oreimo'. The show itself I hate, (fuck that ending), but it made me incredibly curious to try it out. I found this site and ended up picking Swan Song at random. I ended up staying up that same night playing it because I was so amused. That's really it. But yeah feedback would be really cool and appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TakiMinase 148 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 All I am gonna say is... Came in for the porn, stayed for the plot. (my first VN was Bible Black xD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kai 55 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I don't really remember anymore since my first vn was many years ago...maybe around 2010? The only thing I remember is that I picked up visual novels once I started to get fed up with the usual anime cliches. I probably liked the title I picked up since after that watched less and less anime until eventually I stopped watching at all in favor of vn reading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dio Brando 415 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I'll be honest now: Came in for the porn, stayed for the porn... simple as that! My first visual novel was Divi-Dead (not much sexual content, though) I stopped watching animes and decided to read Eroges instead, It was the wisest decision I ever made lol xD Edited December 5, 2018 by Dio Brando Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xMDx 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Well to be honsest, the first time i got in contact with hentai was on a snes rom collection where a rom was from a chinese bootleg chartrige. It wasn't really a game, just a slideshow of sone 16bit hentai pics. My first real H-Game i got was back when Kazaa was the new Napster (ha, I wonder who here still remembers that). I downloaded Time Stripper Mako-chan because i was bored and it was tagged "Anime-Game". Since then eroge has been one of my hobbies, mostly when my girl are myself are on business trips. What can i say a man has needs Edited January 25, 2019 by xMDx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kannon 12 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Koihime Masou was my first. I was invited to play a web browser game for it that which is like Travian but Koihime themed. Friend mentioned the VN then there it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueRice 10 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Gaming laptop was broken during the time that I have plenty of free time (finished my papers), and all I got left was a potato PC. Out of boredom, and weird curiosity for those 'H-game with story'; tried Katawa Shoujo because it was all the fuss back then and the rest was history (wanted more of the romance, stumbled across this place, regular ever since).

Throbbin Hood 11 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Honestly, it was fairly recently that I happened upon the genre. I was bored, having had some time off due to illness. I was on the mend, but my doctor's note didn't permit me to return to work for another few days. I scrolled around a bunch of websites, aimlessly wandering and checking out things like the steam forums. Then I happened upon some discussion involving a game called Nekopara. The discussion basically mentioned that the patches that were downloadable from offsite had some choice content that the devs had to remove in order to post the product on Steam. My curiosity being piqued, I ended up installing both the game and the patch. Now, this is where my story may diverge from the average. I'm sure that many people enjoyed the game's fairly simply storyline and sex scenes, but I had a particularly strong connection to the MC. See, the story is about a man of undetermined age (I'd assume mid 20s) who has finished his college courses to become a pastry chef and open his own restaurant. Thing is, I am also a chef who dreams of one day opening a shop of my own. I was able to slot myself right into "being" the MC. And that, as they say, was that. When you become emotionally invested in an eroge, it's unlike any other form of pornographic content. I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean. I'm still a relative newcomer to eroge in general (I've played maybe 10 of them), but I think I'll be into the genre for the long haul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariamkun 11 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I found out about vns back in around 2016after watching PewDiePie play some eroge, what really draw me in was Hunie Pop, and I downloaded it as soon as I watched it, and so I came across this wonderful site called erogedownload which I visit when ever I can. My first nukige ( hentai game ) vn proper was, since I craved some taboo fetish, Oyako Saiin Chiiku, which is full of b-related incst. But it wasn't until I played a deeply emotional nakige like Kanon, which to this day I consider one of the very best out there, that I really dived into this amazing new world, and I hope to go on like this for quite awhile so long as time allows.
