I kinda knew after reading a bit about certain Anime, like Kanon and School Days that these games existed.
Before that I never really heard about those kind of games and didn't really know what to think about them.
But anyway, one day I got Kanon and played it, since I knew the Anime, but that didn't really trigger my love for Visual Novels.
I didn't dislike it, but I can't say that I thought it was addicting either.
Anyway, another day I downloaded the Da Capo Anime, and watched the first episode, and was disappointed,
since it was obvious that he'd end up with Nemu and not Sakura.
Anyway, a little search made me find out, that it is based on a Visual Novel as well, and after finding out that it was even available in english,
I immediately got it, and totally loved it.
Since then I've been constantly looking for Visual Novels to read.
And yeah, I write too much
