Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels

Just a few hours ago I just finished Muv-Luv Alternative which means I'm through my Must-Read List of visual novels. It was a great three months. This doesn't mean I'll stop reading visual novels or updating this blog, but it is quite a milestone for me personally. I finally feel like, knowing the 'big boys' of this medium, I have enough context to compare and judge them at least somewhat fairly.

This is the list of visual novels I've finished this year, in the order I read them in:

• G-senjou no Maou
• Katawa Shoujo
• Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo
• don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story
• Ever17 -The Out of Infinity-
• Moonshine
• Saya no Uta
• Analogue: A Hate Story
• Hate Plus
• Digital: A Love Story
• Kara no Shoujo
• Hakuouki -Shinsengumi Kitan-
• Muv-Luv
• Muv-Luv Alternative

Quite a list, innit? Adding up the approximate reading times, this is about 300 hours, or 100 hours per month. Not even as bad as I'd expected it to be.

Anyways, next up I'll be posting my Top 10 Visual Novels, starting tomorrow or the day after. I suppose I'll post them on the forums, in General Gaming, and blog them here as well. If you've been following the blog somewhat you might just be able to guess a considerable amount of them.

Oh, what did I think of Muv-Luv Alternative? Well I'll just say that it will show up in the Top 10, and leave it at that for now.
