I started reading / "playing" VNs maybe two months ago, so I am an absolute newbie still... I checked out several (highly rated) VNs in the meantime and even though I am still relatively new to the genre there are several things already I grow very tired of.
- forced content that is not avoidable like certain kinks, sharing, group sex, lesbian scenes between LIs
- exaggerated body types and this curious fixation on ginormous breasts in so many VNs
- the super busty, wide hipped milf / mother / "landlady"
- turning female characters, even those that start off innocent (more or less), into bi-curious sluts who just love to share the MC with other people or even encourage the MC to pursue other people... yes, yes it's all a (power) fantasy, I know... but it's still stupid (most of the time)
- lack of solo routes or punishing those that choose solo routes by not offering enough content for any particular LI since the focus of the VN is to chase as many women as possible as if they were Pokemon
- perving on people at night and doing things to them... like, seriously? Why? Why is that a thing in so many VNs?
- horse dick. Maybe it's easier to animate, don't know... but that is the most silly thing in all VNs, sometimes I feel 12-year-olds who just hit puberty design the characters and they go all "giggidy" on the various sliders and think it's funny (horse appendages) or sexy (boobs), even though it's neither (for me at least)
