My knowledge of adult visual novels and games isn't as extensive as some and I'm limited to English as that's the only language I'm proficient enough in to discern good writing from bad. That said, I've read a few dozen of these novels over the last few years, of which few have good writing and most range from not good to awful. None that I've found are in any way comparable to Pale Carnations. TD is a fluke, an aberration in the world of adult visual novel writers. Also, I've no experience with traditional erotic literature like might be found in a middle-aged woman's nightstand, but I suspect the writing of some of those might rival Pale Carnations. Though, the topics and sex in those are probably more vanilla and cater to a different audience.I enjoyed reading the dialogue so much, the MC's comments seem to contain a queer sense of humour (e.g. At least one of us is trying to get me laid) and a calm and gentle sort of sharpeness (e.g. but you of all people should know showing affection doesn't come easy to some), these together puts my mind at ease somehow.
Can anyone point me to some key words if I wish to find writing of similar styles? Or even better recommend some novels? Many thanks.
My two favorite runners-up to Pale Carnations are Deviant Anomalies and Desert Stalker, but again these aren't in the same class as Pale Carnations. Neither of them have the same level of protagonist introspection, nor are they pure visual novels.
