You know, if you define a game as something that brings you some particular emotions, then most of the novels we have here aren't even games. They're just porn, shaped into a little bit more interactive form than videos, comics or stories. I'm not saying that it's hard to find a good novel, but what I mean is, when you find a couple of good ones, the rest start looking worse and worse. Just the way it happens with any other form of art.
And what's the most important aspect of any novel? Why, writing, of course. One gets used to good things quite easily. It's just as simple with the visual novels. And that's what I'm leading to: I really wish there were more people like DrPinkCake who would understand the value of good writing. There is only a handful of indie novels out there that provide us with a great reading experience, and I do hope people will give them as much attention as they deserve (however Being a DIK already has a great number of supporters, so you can't say it's underrated in any way).
This novel has it all: cultural references, self-irony, characters that feel alive, and actually believable, natural dialogues. It's hilarious or serious when it needs to be, it never gets boring and keeps you sucked into the story, makes you feel for those characters, even if it's just a porn game.
I truly wish there were more adult novels like this one in terms of sheer writing quality.
