Why don't you just start reading books?
He reads VNs
Books are boring and have been made functionally irrelevant in the modern age. Why bother when I can use the internet for reading and gathering information? There's nothing I can get from Descartes, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Borges that won't be readily available elsewhere on the internet in 50 million places and far more digestible and to the point. And most written fiction is utter shit, let's not pretend otherwise. That aside, everything is getting adapted anyways.
There is literally no reason to read books other than to make yourself feel pretentious and smart. You get far more out of playing a game like Factorio or Terraria than you get out of the writings of Plutarch or going through the unnecessary cavalcade of Rome faggotry that /lit/ would shill to you when you could get all that same information in an evening by watching some video series on the same subject on YouTube.
Fact it, books are history. Before the internet they had their use but they have been replaced. As a written work, they are inferior to comics, graphic novels, manga and pulp. As a creative artform, they are inferior to games, television and film because they drone on so much more but lack the ability to say anything more than what the page allows them. In the modern era, they are the most braindead and easy "art" to master because any simpleton can put a pen to paper and, with the right kind of nepotism, get it published.
Video games are objectively superior to all, however, as you get the full package in addition to being able to interact with it all. You have visual storytelling, narrative works, music, artistic designs and all intertwined at once with the ability to interact or change those very things within the world of that game. VN's better than a any book still allows for other types of medium to blend together. Games are objectively superior because only games allow you to play them in different ways every time as they do, like Dark Souls. Can't do that with a book.
Because I enjoy reading VNs more than I enjoy reading books?
I read both.
Books don't have soundtracks
And you can't get papercuts with games

fuck off danganautists
go back to your general
How can I find books that give me the same rush as the mysteries and twists that are in Zero Escape and Danganronpa?
Serious question, I'm gonna run outta VNs to read eventually, and I'll have to turn to books.
I feel bad for people who cannot appreciate that there is beauty in the written word.
>reads books
>talks pretentious for no reason
Like cockwork
The literature business is >60% women. The literature market is >70% women. Straight white males have next to zero chance of ever getting published in that environment. Even if they self publish, again 70% of the market are women and the market itself is constantly declining. It only makes sense to transition to a medium where you know the audience is majority male, self publishing is the de facto model, and the market is growing. I'm not saying every story is a good fit for visual novelization, but there literally isn't a home for some narratives in the pozzed modern literature market.
>muh books
Something being written on a book doesn't automatically make it better
Because we needed a discount Nagito so badly I guess.
Books aren't voice acted
>inb4 audiobooks
I dunno where to pirate these from. You can find easily VNs and books tho
I only read light novels. I have never willingly read a western novel since grade 6.
You must be very hollow to think beauty is pretentious
Alright, now you're doing it on purpose
Fuck you Kokichi was based
Find me a book version of all these VN's.
I'm serious. I know the ones that aren't translated probably never will be because of content but their synopsis make me wanna read 'em.
You can read both. Most VNs are written solely for cheap entertainment like YA books, with a few exceptions. For books there's been quite a few classics put out ever since humans have been able to write, so yeah. I'd say there's more books WORTH reading than VNs out there.
I really hope you learn to appreciate beauty one day user. I can't imagine living such a hollow existence as yours.
