32. Recommend a VN you haven't yet: Remember11
My favorite from the Infinity trilogy! A shame it isn't quite as loved as Ever17 (and even less compared to Uchikoshi's other works) but it's soooo awesome and has such a great mystery to solve while reading. Genuinely cannot recommend enough!

31. Preferred pov: third
I think in general it allows for better prose, and a strong writer will still be able to differentiate characters and their internal thoughts/mechanisms without needing first person

30. How did you get into VNs
I mentioned earlier that I found a playthrough of Saya no Uta on youtube a decade ago, but I didn't fully get into them until 2019 when I read Umineko for the first time. The reason I chose Umineko was because I thought it'd be funny to read something so first

28. ADV, NVL, or speech bubbles: NVL
It keeps me more focused on reading and it can be used incredibly creatively through changes in text formatting, placement, and timing on the screen.

26. Have you cried reading a VN: yes, only once
I've certainly gotten a bit misty eyed here and there (such as the true ending of Chaos;Head) but the one time I've ever outright cried was in Tsumihoroboshi-hen during the rooftop confrontation iykyk

25. Favorite studio: 07th Expansion
I'm a WTC devotee at heart Beatrice is genuinely one of the greatest fictional characters ever written. Umineko and Higurashi changed my life. I've been trying to get my friends to read Umineko for five years now it'll work someday right

24. Least favorite VN character: Akiha Rumiko and Luka Urushibara
I don't even outright dislike either of them but their chapters completely destroyed the momentum of Steins;Gate. Luka got done super dirty by the writing, genuinely awful treatment while Akiha is just fairly boring

23. Underrated VN: 2236 A.D.
I'm genuinely so shocked it hasn't received more attention. It's fairly short too taking about 10 hours to finish. Left me with lots to think about after I finished. VNDB links are outdated but it's available on denpasoft and right now it's on sale for under 4 usd

22. Dropped VNs: Yu-No and Fatal Twelve
I don't really like calling them dropped because I only read each for ~2 hours but other VNs at the time grabbed my attention so those two ended up being put back on the shelf. I'll get around to them properly eventually

21. VN pet peeves: not too many
Aside from H-scenes that drag on too long which I mentioned earlier, the other big thing I dislike is overuse of pervert jokes especially when the character is otherwise interesting/normal. Unrelated picture of Irie for no reason

20. Own any VN merch: yes again!
It's not much but I have physical cds for the Fatamoru and Higurashi ost, a double sided euphoria/Maggot Baits folder, a euphoria wallscroll, and a Saya charm made by my friend @bunnysleepover.bsky.social !

17. Romance or no: YESSS ROMANCE ALL THE WAY
While I don't necessarily need a romance in a VN (or anything really) I get so much more invested in a story if there is one. Learning that FataMoru had a good romance in it sold me on it faster than anything else (and now it's my second favorite VN lol)

15. Preferred artstyles
Personally I love simpler art styles, especially from older games. Darker/grittier styles too. Saya no Uta I think aesthetically is one of my favorite VNs ever and it's because I adore the contrast between the characters and the world. Amazing atmosphere all around.
