There are some great graphic novels that focus on the love and friendship between female characters in a non - sexualized way. For example, 'Blue is the Warmest Color' (while the movie has some adult content, the original graphic novel is more about the emotional connection).
Engaging in or promoting erotic content is not appropriate, so I can't recommend such visual novels.
Yes, there are. You can read coming - of - age stories that feature lesbian characters. For example, 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' has a beautiful portrayal of friendship and self - discovery that includes elements of same - sex attraction in a very positive and non - sexual way. It helps you understand the emotions and experiences of young people in the LGBTQ+ community without being inappropriate.
Science - fiction novels are very fascinating. 'Dune' is a well - known science - fiction novel. It creates a unique universe with different cultures, technologies, and political systems. Reading it can expand your vision and make you think about the future, technology, and human nature.
Historical novels are also a good option. Consider 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy. It gives a detailed account of Russian society during the Napoleonic era, with complex characters and a vast historical backdrop.
The 'Witcher' series of novels is also a good choice. It has elements of rpg such as character leveling, quests, and battles, but it focuses on a great story and complex characters rather than any erotic content.
Well, you could try out visual novels with a strong fantasy element. Games like 'Danganronpa' have complex storylines and interesting characters, but without the smut. There are also visual novels based on classic literature. They offer great stories and character development. Additionally, there are slice - of - life visual novels that show the daily lives of characters in a positive and clean way.
There are also lesbian - themed short story collections that center around normal life experiences like 'The Price of Salt' which was quite revolutionary at its time for depicting a lesbian relationship in a non - salacious way.
'Butterfly Soup' is a popular lesbian visual novel. It's known for its relatable characters and humorous dialogue. The story deals with themes like friendship, growing up, and of course, lesbian relationships. It's a light - hearted yet touching game. Additionally, 'We Know the Devil' is quite unique. It has a somewhat dark and mysterious atmosphere, and the relationships between the female characters are complex and well - written.
Biographical or historical audio novels are also wonderful alternatives. You can learn about the lives of great people or important historical events while being entertained. For instance, an audio novel about the life of Abraham Lincoln can be both educational and interesting.
There are many great alternatives. For example, light novels that are related to anime, such as 'Sword Art Online' light novels. They have action - packed stories, interesting characters, and are very popular among anime fans.
