well i think a book/novel is no less time consuming than a VN.
the most time consuming is writing.
the renders are made by a computer,it takes time too but the only thing you make is setting it up and the maschine does it himself.
whats left is edditing the renders after finished and bringing everything together after all is finished.
i think the writing takes most of the time because it needs to fit and you don´t always get it right at first try.
This is just... no. LOL. How would having to code, "render", add music and sounds (though admittely majority of devs don't appreciate this part enough), and design characters ALONG with writing take the same amount of time? Actually one of the takes of all time.
Of course the machine does the actual rendering, but it also refers to posing and setting up scenes. Posing itself refers to the lighting, expressions, and post processing.
Using stock stuff can cut down time siginificantly but even then it'll take way more time than a book. So imagime how long it takes for those actually customizing.
If your just baiting then ggs otherwise plz think about it for like 3 secs LOL
