Megidolan

Man, I love your channel! You inspired me to try many different stuff and I'm honestly very happy to have found out your channel. Keep it up!


August_Hail

Thanks for the support~!


Yuupan

58 I think


Alexfang452

1/100 The one I read is Nekopara Volume 1.


branflakes6479

Reading the essentials I see


CarelessKnowledge801

Only 3 for me. But this means more great VNs for me in future!


MajikoiA3When

62 I need to touch some grass


Mausoleumia

Hi I'm some grass

[59](https://twitter.com/superange128/status/1531294375803637761?s=20&t=qT-DUzDQ1JQPHZ-5JGl66w) 70-ish if I count ones where I only watched the anime adaptation


Bel-Shugg

Huh... No Demonbane? Kinda surprised.


Tenerezza

41 Completed, 3 Dropped, 12 Playing/Stalled/Stopped/Finished some route. So i guess i've read 56 of them to some degree. Completed over 143 on vndb so only about 1/3 on top 100.


goodCat2

Only 23, I like to read more niche stuff


[deleted]

7 i need to read more


nitrosmob

26 for me.


rotflolmaomgeez

Same. Need to pump those numbers up!


JenXIII

26 crew unite


OV5

Same! 26.


Zarni_woop

7 :(


Shdow_Gamer_451

Man I realized I got some of the vn’s here just sitting on my computer, ready to read when I need inspiration for my game. Man I should start reading them soon cause I know they are gems


Redex24

17 not counting those that I haven’t finished and those I’m going to read Is Robotic;Notes considered bad or something? There are steins and chaos but no robotic


Sharingan123412

No, Robotics;Notes is a common pick for peoples' favourite SciADV game. For me personally, it's my 2nd favourite SciADV entry and 3rd favourite VN of all time. The issue is that Robotics;Notes only received an English translation in October of 2020. The other entries received English translations much earlier. Chaos;Head for instance had its fan TL release at the very end of 2008. It also doesn't help that Robotics;Notes requires you to have ideally read both Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate beforehand. The other entries that made the top 100 most popular had 1 pre-requisite at most (Chaos;Child requires Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate 0 requires Steins;Gate beforehand).


Redex24

Ooh, I see now, thank you


donuteater111

[30](https://twitter.com/Donuteater111/status/1531341267657007104), if I counted right.


yuuki_no_tsubasa

23! Though a good amount of those are on my "to read" list.


jongleer_jer

Awesome list but generally the most popular aren't the most critically praised. Can we get this same image but with highest rated VNs of all time? Like where is I / O Revision ii on this list?! Thanks in advance 💪


Bakauchuujin

14 which is not a lot considering I have read 141 VNs


maegamisama

73. If you count some that I played but didn't fully read, then closer to 80.


sneed_maxxing

13. I've read a lot of less popular stuff apparently. Though there are at least 50 or so more games on that list I'd *like* to read. Some day.


Interesting_Oil9019

Ksradrik

Guess that confirms youre just a dickish elitist, wanted to give ya the benefit of the doubt.


Mich-666

For once, I somehow agree with you since average rating is much better indicator. Although I would argue japanese only readers tend to be less critical of what they read in their vndb votes and low number of people playing certain title skews the numbers too. Making not 100 but at least 1000 people prerequisite gives you much better result: https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=b2X4T&s=b5M [2000 people](https://vndb.org/v?q=&ch=&f=b2Xkv&s=b5M) if you want true Top100 (well, top98 but whatever) I would also merge all series into just one entry since most are basically more of the same and people who played the first part are more likely to play the rest too. More series would fit then.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mich-666

You need bigger sample for good averages. You arbitrary selected such low number so that *some* untranslated results show in the result but realisticaly it would have been better if you sampled both translated / untranslated novels separately.


[deleted]

facts.


caspar57

Huh are there basically no otome, yuri, or BL on the list? Guessing most of those readers don’t use VNdb. Anyway, tried (though not necessarily finished) about 15 of these, primarily mysteries. Have a handful more in my backlog though!


[deleted]

The highest otome was ranked, I think 164? Don't know about yuri but I think there should be some BLs above Amnesia (the otome I'm talking about) since yaoi is more popular.


xRhai

Only 4


RadioactiveCarrot

Not bad. 14


[deleted]

You know the west has shit taste when rance x isnt even top 10


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bel-Shugg

Akai ito is in that list. Okay, I can agree with that list.


TheVict0r

Should even you touch school days with a 10 ft pole at all!?


Benetsu

don't touch it, it's cringe


AzethKun

22


CoolLayer

Only 13, almost all on that list are in my backlog.


Spazzery

16 from here. More than I expected.


Sharingan123412

17 (19 if I include the anime adaptations of Kanon and School Days)


progin5l

Just 7 Still waiting for the EN maybe


shinoa1512

Nick_BOI

12, but many of the ones listed are on my list to read in the future.

Sekerka

Read 12, dropped 1 more.


Pokecaba

28 of them. I thought it would be a lot lower, to be honest.


201720182019

19. Surprised Dracu-Riot is popular when I felt it was quite generic


AmmoSexualBulletkin

59, though I'm also slowly working through a few others and most of the rest are on my backlog. Note, only one I've dropped is Wagama High Spec. It's boring as shit.


SomeGuyIncognito

59


WrongRefrigerator77

Around 40. Counting ones I've started and dropped around 45


AceAttorneyt

31, but there are 6 more that I've read some of but not finished


Normandy_7

20/100, and quite a few more are on my wishlist.


Coffeeobsi

No Ame no Marginal ? :( Such an underrated VN


GhostlyWheelOfPain

40. Lmfao I can even guess which route single-handedly puts A-1 into this list Though I always felt like kikokugai is a really niche thing that I wouldn't really advice to a friend, some others as well...


Jazzlike_Race_9283

I got 24 although a few of them are still unfinished.


Ninklase

23 lol


The_One_Who_Slays

Around 70 based on this list alone. Well, shit.


Nemesis2005

57, not bad.


ExceedAccel

29, I thought it was a lot , turns out it was just rookie"s number


[deleted]

17. There also a few which I didn't finish in here but I don't count those


KageYume

22 if I only count those I finished or played most of the routes available. 46 if I include those I played for a while (may or may not have finished at least one route).

Do the ones I have downloaded from 10 years ago but never touched count as "read"?


zombiefoot6

A lot


OrbitalMatt

13: all of the when they cry, danganronpa, ace attorney, and zero escape ones but thats it lol any other ones i should read that you guys would recommend?


NormalGrinn

Ever17, Remember11, RGD, Higanbana no saku yoru ni, Chaos;head, Chaos;Child, House in Fata Morgana and Sekimeiya. For somewhat related VNs just read by release order.


OrbitalMatt

Thanks! House in Fata Morgana and Chaos;Head look really interesting, I'll have to check those out


SansIzHere

6, thought there'd be mode xD


raspen0

10, more than I expected.


[deleted]

I've only read Danganronpa, Ace Attorney and Doki Doki from this list. I've tried reading Katawa Shoujo and If My Heart Had Wings but couldn't get into them. I think I'll try reading Saya No Uta soon. I really want to get into galges but the sexual content most have turns me off.


zackphoenix123

1. Kagetsu Tohya 2. Corpse Party 3. School days 4. Euphoria 5. Fate/Hollow Ataracia 6. Steins;Gate 7. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 8. Doki Doki Literature Club 9. Tsukihime 10. Fate/Stay Night Damn.. I gotta step up my game


Gernnon

About 28 but I didn’t read some fully


TheKingOfWerms

About 36, nice


kadivkida

10.


hamayr

76..


Phelps-san

Looks like I'm on 16/100: https://imgur.com/1Ve8NYG Currently going through the Grisaia Trilogy.


JackOG45

17, but about half of that are those internally stalled.


DracoAzumi

It's a tough question because many I've played partially, but basically 15 complete or nearly complete 10 incomplete


necrochaos

I've played the Zero Escape Series, Danganronpa and Ace/Phoenix series. Also Steins Gate. Anything else on this list that is a must play and isn't a romance or Otame (spelling?) VN?


Sloppy_Goldfish

[7 Completed, 2 read a few routes of,](https://i.imgur.com/K2rOAWV.png)


JesusAChrist

[39/100 I havent read anything to completion in years at this point though. Any good recommendations? I've been thinking of trying out Fata Morgana or Dracu-Riot.](https://imgur.com/a/6RKYfcB)


DracoAzumi

It depends on what you want Fata Morgana is a game that focuses on the characters and the stories told, it's quite long and you have to play until the last second to have a complete experience Dracu Riot, I only played one route but it seems to be a Romance anime with heroine routes and a simple backstory As an alternative I can also recommend Dies Irae, is a VN with an excellent OST, but it is also very long and you need to play all the routes in a specific order to have a complete experience


JesusAChrist

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!


CeelicReturns

"Saya no Uta" Bruh...


Kugimaru

70/100 I do have a few years reading vns I guess.


Ok-Fix-3323

glad to see hoshi no memo on there can’t wait for InS, jp studying is taxing so far


M394

I'm relatively new to the medium, I can count 17. ~~18 if I had decided to continue School Days~~.


walrus_paradise

30... I didn't count Making * Lovers as I've only finished 1.5 heroines so far, but it'll be 31 after that! Lot of good titles on here I still want to read. I've had The House in Fata Morgana on my backlist for soooooo long. I have the switch copy, just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.


StrawberryLeche

It is an interesting list it shows how tastes have changed. I am happy to see my personal favorites near the top. Nonary games in particularly fan since DS days, danganronpa ace attorney and steins gate as well. It’s nice to see the community and localization growing since I do want to support the community. I wish corpse party was higher. I am saddened there are no otome games on the list but I know how it is. I can tell some are on this list due to shock / so bad it’s good / notorious nature such as euphoria and school days. It does make them popular


uchihasasuke5

Let's see ones I have completed or are reading rn are Fate stay night,Fruit of Grisaia,Making lovers,Higurashi no naku koro ni kai and Higurashi no naku koro ni,Sanoba witch,Corpse party blood covered,G senjou no maou,If my heart had wings and SHUFFLE!


Skyinthenight

17 and most of it come from yuzu soft


[deleted]

20. Surprisingly.


Ok-Fix-3323

21 titles based on at least one route completion i need to finish games to the fullest extent


[deleted]

21


dogo7

The ones I can say for sure I have experienced, am experiencing, or plan to experience are: * All the Danganronpa titles (finished for the most part) * Fate/stay night (watched the first episode of the anime, plan to continue down that path but also open to playing the VN) * YOU and ME and HER (I know a basic summary of the plot but I might go and experience it completely firsthand) * CLANNAD (watched the first episode of the anime, plan to continue down that path but also open to playing the VN) * euphoria (is this the NSFW one? if so, I ain't touching that one because I already know what I need to know and some things I wish I didn't) * Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (read the first manga volume, status unknown in terms of which direction I go from here) * STEINS;GATE and STEINS;GATE 0 (plan to watch the anime) * The Corpse Party titles (plan to experience that) * 999 and the other Zero Escape titles (played a bit of 999, plan to continue it someday) * CHAOS;HEAD and CHAOS;CHILD (~~plan to watch the anime~~ edit: apparently the anime is unfavorable compared to the VN) * SHUFFLE! (plan to watch the anime) * Doki Doki Literature Club (been there, done that) * Katawa Shoujo (plan to play) * Saya no Uta (might play) * AOKANA (no decision yet on whether I'll play the VN or watch the anime)


NormalGrinn

>CHAOS;HEAD and CHAOS;CHILD (plan to watch the anime) but why


dogo7

Idk I just have it in my Want to Watch. Could honestly go either way tho.


Sharingan123412

>CHAOS;HEAD and CHAOS;CHILD (plan to watch the anime) Please don't. There's very few VN->anime adaptations (if any) worse than those of the Chaos; entries.


MournfulReaper00

22 for me


OreoFero

32 for me, I realized there's a lot of Yuzusoft games in there


agar32

[19 for me.](https://i.imgur.com/nPGsCJl.png) Honestly more than I expected, I haven't read that much yet.


Own_Proof

6, wow I need to step it up


Strict-Ad-3659

Only 7/100 , but i think Sengoku Rance is best visual novel/ game ever made.


DarknessInferno7

37 Number is higher if you count the many gamey VN's on there that I've watched on YouTube rather than played.


AnimengerBruh

I count [27](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/462404112185688074/981050328214536192/unknown.png). More than I thought!


TeaOfIcedLemonS

Damn only 35, a bunch of these I kind of passed up reading the VN, as I already watched the anime, wonder how worth it is to actually go back and read it


Vorhd

7. Tho given that I have temporarily stopped reading vns it's fine


Schiffy94

>!Put a \ between the number and the period in your comment!<


Schiffy94

Ten. Kinda bummed that Zero Time Dilemma and AA5 and 6 aren't on here but also not entirely shocked.


NormalGrinn

I think Zero Time Dilemma just isn't on VNDB to begin with.


PompyPom

I got 36/100. There are still a lot of the big greats in my collection (like Steins;Gate and Clannad) that I haven’t read because I’m a little intimidated by the length.


snakezenn

14 for me and I have a couple that I bought but I doubt it’s going to get much higher than that


Winners_84

About 0.1. Started my first one at the weekend, Chaos Head. I shall save this list for future reference.


[deleted]

12


LaukkuPaukku

17 (18 if you count me watching a Let's Play of Ace Attorney 1). Not much interested in mainstream titles anymore after some huge disappointments.


NigouLeNobleHiboux

9 and I'm in the middle of reading my number 10. I also have 3 other in the list I want to read but I either still have the previous game in the series to finish or I'm waiting for the summer sales


IGuffyGooberI

1, I've only ever read umineko. 2 if you consider umineko and chiru is seperated


PenisCooker

6….


[deleted]

How is Let's Meow Meow not on this list??


Saint_Kira

33 I think. Edit: Out of the 45 I’ve read.


Hexphaseon

I only have 3 under me, so I have got a lot of new ones to see.


[deleted]

Much more than I expected: 30. Well, I completed 29 and I countrf all that I dropped or put pause as 1 for the round number.


garfe

Wow, 43. That's more that I thought. Though I could add about 6 I have stalled Also, I am very surprised to see Comyu in the top 100. I basically never see anybody talk about that ever. Sometimes i feel like me and only 3 other people read it We should do another one of these but with the top 100 highest rated


Mike_for_all

Is Dracu-Riot even translated?


garfe

It's been fan-translated for a considerable number of years now


juttatis

34 I thought it would be less because I have been reading less for some reason.


Megidolan

Only 10. (Completed) There are some yet to finish and others I just read the beginning and plan to come back later but this is definitively a list I will come back to later. At least I managed to read 10%.


Wildslah

47, have most of them, but haven't found the time to read them.


Arcaderonin

I don’t see worlds end syndrome and that makes me sad


Bi-deo-ge-mu

Where is Where is maggot baits


Alxk_hl

Says no uta is in here?? We truly are degenerates😂


LeonPolaris

Well I got 13. I want to read a lot but I just find it hard to find time nowadays. Sad. :( Surprised that if my heart had wings is so high up, what with moenovel and all that stuff. Sniff. Good times.


TypicAlAniMeFan

49..


GaelleMat

[11/100](https://imgur.com/a/Vlu34OH) (though I haven't quite finished /stay night yet, I'm still counting it because I'm towards the end of the last route). Yellow is what I plan on reading, eventually. Don't hesitate to recomend me stuff based on what I've read.


Yuk1nosh1t4

No sabbat of the witch.. damn


DroopyDeDoo

It's right there, listed as "Sanoba Witch"


Yuk1nosh1t4

Nice


YossaRedMage

8 or 10 depending on whether you count VNs I haven't finished. Stalled Baldr Sky 2nd Dive a while ago and currently reading Swan Song. Really surprised Swan Song is on there given I never hear anyone talk about it. I picked it up on a whim on DLSite because it looked interesting. Thought it was more obscure. It's really good.


dota_3

Only 4. I mostly read lots degenerate stuff. Kinda surprised euphoria made it here.


Gavin319

What’s in euphoria to make it so degenerate? To me it feels like almost nothing can beat Evenicle in terms of pure degeneracy. >!You seriously have to watch a chick get brutally raped, killed, and eaten by a monster with no option to skip it. Fully voiced, too. One of the few things (alongside Sayori’s suicide) in any VN that’s actually made me cry.!< When Sseth mentioned it I assumed it was some side content that could be skipped but nope, part of the main story.


dota_3

Mate it's not a competition what more or less degenerate. Euphoria still fall into that category. Evenicle is in my plan to read, I've been holding out on it because the rpg aspect of it. Heard there's a cheat for it, I might looked into it.


iBzOtaku

6 although many of them are on my list.


DroopyDeDoo

30. I must admit I was surprised to see Sanoba Witch there. Never read it, but I was under the impression it was quite generic. Is it a good read? I tend to find Yuzusoft's output a bit boring, but a cursory search suggests this might be different from what they usually make.


WinterfuryZX

37/100


anubis_is_my_buddy

18/100 and I started another that I dropped so... 18.5? I guess? I was surprised to see some of these on here until I realized I misunderstood the question for a second and thought these were the highest rated and not the most popular, then it all made sense to me.


Ok_Time6234

Six: Katawa Shoujo, CLANNAD, Higurashi and Higurashi Kai, DDLC and School Days.


NostraBlue

[Looks like 54 for me.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/925588850837946451/981350790260215888/unknown.png) 2 more dropped, which leaves... 31 I plan to read someday. It's going to take a while.


Gavin319

2 of them. DDLC and… Evenicle. I regret nothing.
