This is not about Toradora, but general visual novels: I quite liked the Re:Zero anime, so I thought I’d read the visual novel as it’s much further ahead (and I actually love reading). But the quality of the writing was so damn bad.
Are all visual novels like that? Simplified English to get the point across, but not a good read overall?
Well, not sure. What version of the Re:Zero light novel did you read? By the way, it is light novel, not visual novel; Visual novels are effectively video games. I assume you didn’t play Re:Zero.
There is actually a Re:Zero visual novel, so if that’s what you meant, then I can’t comment, as I don’t play visual novels.
But, generally speaking, light novels use relatively simple language. I did read the Re:Zero LNs though, and didn’t think they were bad at all! I only read up to volume 17. I’ve heard that the web novel version is much worse in a lot of respects, though. If that’s what you read, then maybe that’s why you disliked it. Not sure.
I would definitely say that good light novels are expected to be good reads, even if they don’t use complex language.
Recently: Succession, Pluribus.
OG: ATLA, Toradora (the best love story ever told, btw).
Time to try and watch toradora again
If you prefer the written medium, make sure to read the light novel as well!!! IT’S REALLY FREAKING GOOD!!!
Personally, I actually prefer it to the anime (though I basically always prefer the written version to video).
