Visual novels are dying which is not based, VN's are really good imo

I recently got into playing cafe stella and it's a great VN imo

Anyone every played a VN? And if so do you enjoy playing them? For me it's been easy to immerse myself into them
I don't know much about visual novels, I just know that the genre is filled with a lot of erotic/NSFW VNs and gooners.

I enjoy visual novels but prefer to read books. The genre is severely under-utilized. You either get 'le big, busty housewives of coomerville' or some fringe, ultra-convoluted anime plot hatched by a small group of autistic, Japanese basement-dwellers. For the former you might as well just indulge in a generative experience with something like SillyTavern, RisuAI or MikuGG; the latter is where the genre shines.

For those who enjoy grand, ambitious stories: 07th Expansion, Fate and Zero Escape come to mind. Steins;Gate is my favorite VN as it boasts a high-tier selection of waifus alongside a wonderfully crafted sci-fi narrative, though it lays it on quite thickly with references to weeb culture (It's set in Akihabara, the electronic and otaku capital of Japan).

Steins gate has an anime right? And i liked it, should i play the vn as well?
yup the visual novel is much better, if ur only intrested in steins gate u can play that then steins gate 0 but its all apart of a series called science adventure which i highly recommend u play and the correct order for that would be
  • Chaos;Head (Noah)
  • Steins;Gate
  • Robotics;Notes
  • Chaos;Child
  • Steins;Gate 0
  • Robotics;Notes DaSH
