    Who are visual novels normally for, and why is it so funny if they’re for normal people? Genuinely have no idea.

      My impression is that 99.999% of visual novels are dating simulators for teenagers. Basically the same audience as all the teenage ‘school life’/romance anime, and equally produced in bafflingly huge quantities.

          I fail to see much of a difference, frankly. Perhaps only that most teenage manga/anime stop right at the boundary of smut, leaving much to the reader/viewer’s imagination, or alternatively leave a lot of people blue-balled.
