Why are so many light novels adapated into anime but visual novels are constantly left aside as if they were too weird for the bigger audience?

because vn adaptations never work

this is why all SciADV anime are shit other than steins;gate
in fact, i can't think of a single other VN anime adaptation that was even decent

Visual novels as far as I'm aware are not linear storytelling. You could adapt one of the routes but then the people who like the other routes would get mad. And adapting every route isn't realistic in a world where a lot of anime will only ever get 12 episodes.

>visual novels are constantly left aside
Because it's 2020 and VN adaptations stopped being popular seven or eight years ago, just like the medium itself has been getting less and less popular. VN adaptations were flooding everywhere before that and everyone was complaining about them, we had like five VN harems at once in some seasons during the late 00s.

Like fifteen years ago, a lot of anime was adapted from visual novels. Maeda Jun had Air, Kanon, Clannad, we had Fate Stay/Night, Higurashi, Steins; Gate and the other in that series (Chaos; Head and Robotics; Notes), School Days, these are from the top of my head.
tl;dr stop being new

Has the KnS 1 remastered translated?

No, and it probably never will.
It's like Innocent Grey is somewhat lazy, I don't see any other explanation.

KNS 2, and Cartagra got translated (after days of hard work from Mangagamer)... they are still not on steam even though IG novels are doing great there.

Caucasus never got any translation.
Nothing but Flower rehashes, and no news on KNS 3 in a while.

I doubt they will even translate KNS 3 any soon.
I have no idea what is it that takes so much time from their behalf.

VNs are an odd entity.

They are often wordy and some aren't even voiced. So you are turning off people who don't like to read. Next, they are often full of branching plotlines which are difficult at best to write reasonably well. So you are actually reading some parts over and over again, and not all routes are of the same quality. It's a big time investment for questionable payoff. Lastly, as far as EOPs are concerned, there are very few titles available (and most of them are the ones with anime adaptations). So the selection is small and you have to learn Japanese to really, truly get the best experience- it's not like a manga series that gets picked up and translated. There is a technical burden to patch the software that is more effort than a lot are willing to do.

VNs in general will probably fade out until the only ones left are glorified PwP titles that can't be sold on mobile and consoles. The audience for them is very niche and only shrinking.

Only if the hentai voice cast reprises their roles.

I just checked vndb and it seems some user is making a fan translation
>translate KnS 3 any soon
Not even released yet.
Doubt it'll be released this year.

What I meant is that even when KNS 3 is out, it will be some time before they translate it.

If there is any "fan translation" of their games, you can be sure they will shut it down asap, like they did with Cartagra and Caucasus.

>you can be sure they will shut it down asap
How is pic related translated in 2 languages then?

Russia and China give no shits about foreign C&D demands.

Because, China and Russia.

Considering KNS1 is just a Mouryou no Hako rip-off, I can't believe they are so autistic over fan translation.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question because I'm not part of the vn scene at all but why don't the english translators just use a russian site to host their shit then?

They used to do that back in the Old Days, but Russians will happily serve up malware and other nasty shit to foreign IPs or straight up just not serve the content after taking the money. Plus if you try to register in Russia you have to give enough contact info that the government can show up at your door and send you to the gulag for anything they want, so it's basically impossible for non-Russians to register .ru domains.

They don't give a shit about their own people's TL crimes; they don't want to bother with foreigners trying to do the same.

Because it's much better than Mouryou no Hako.
I can't even download from Baidu Cloud (Baidu's version of GDrive) now because you need an account to download now and registering an account requires a Chinese phone number.

women like this aren't real
god damnit

>in fact, i can't think of a single other VN anime adaptation that was even decent
Clannad After Story?

>100+ hours of badly written alternate timeline harem relationships
>let's adapt it into a 12 episode anime

Nah, you get 2 episodes hentai OVA.

Because it only sounds easy on paper.
if it was that simple, then every torrent site and trackers would simply pass by Russian IPs.

>We'll just do the common route
>And we'll tease all the love interests' interactions over a few episodes instead of focusing on the main plot
>lel who cares you're just here for the girls anyway, the VN writers knew that too
>Let's also pay the secondary animators in rice and stale water since all of our good talent is working on a mobage/LN show

The golden days are behind us.

yeah, I used to read VNs, but I realized that the time investment is simply not worth it.
If you value your time in any way, spending fifty hours on a mediocre story intended for a teenage audience isn't worth it.
You could read several world-class novels in that time.

VNs can be very atmospheric with the use of sound though, the pre-murder part of Umineko was peak comfy.
I just wish they weren't so fucking long.

VNs as a concept sound like the holy grail for book nerds. Long, full-length stories with choose-as-you-go branching plot lines, music, artwork, and easy bookmarking. But the execution is always lacking, mostly due to the choices and multiple endings aspects.

The problem is that someone has to come up with all those branches and the art and stuff has to be made for them and stuff. The human involvement in things isn't always possible to take advantage of the tech.

Either way c&d letters from nip VN publishers are bluffs, make the tiniest bit of effort the hide your identity and you can safely tell them to piss off

tldr. sry.

i am good. at hacking too. yes444

There would be if VNs were popular and were backed by large corps. Nowadays such projects are all mobage or LNs.

Even Majikoi which was pretty much a high budget VN employing almost all the A list Seiyus in the industry couldn't get a good adaptation. VNs just don't sell anymore.

I remember VNs did have many adaptations in the beginning of 2000 tough.
