weird visual novels

Not really. Visual novels are a unique medium. Some people might find them strange because they're not as mainstream as movies or regular video games, but they offer a different kind of experience. You can get immersed in complex narratives and make choices that affect the outcome, which is really cool.

Not at all. It's just a form of entertainment like any other.

Another is 'Lamento - Beyond the Void'. It stands out for its cat - humanoid characters in a yaoi context. The art style is distinct and the story delves into themes of love, identity, and a world filled with different factions which can seem quite weird at first glance.

One of the weird visual novels is 'Doki Doki Literature Club'. It starts off as a seemingly normal dating sim but takes some very dark and unexpected turns. Another is 'Lisa: The Painful RPG'. It has a really strange and disturbing setting with some unique gameplay mechanics combined with a visual novel style. And 'Umineko no Naku Koro ni' is also quite strange. It has a complex and often mind - boggling mystery that unfolds throughout the story.

Well, there are several things. Firstly, the art style can make a visual novel weird. If it's very distorted or uses a combination of styles that don't usually go together. Secondly, the themes it explores. If it delves into very abstract or disturbing concepts like extreme existentialism or abnormal psychological states. And finally, the way the story is told. For instance, if it jumps around in time and space without much warning or explanation, that can make it seem really strange.

Another way is to join yaoi - related forums or communities. People there usually discuss and recommend different visual novels. They can point you towards ones that have really out - there storylines or art styles that are considered weird. For example, Reddit has some yaoi - focused subreddits where fans share their findings.

One reason could be encoding issues. If the visual novel was not properly encoded during its development or transfer, it can lead to strange symbols showing up. For example, if the text is supposed to be in UTF - 8 but is misread as another encoding type, symbols can appear garbled.

One reason could be that visual novels are not as well - known as other forms of media. So when someone mentions playing them, it seems out of the ordinary. Also, the art style in some visual novels can be very different from what is commonly seen in mainstream entertainment, which might give an impression of weirdness.

He was worried that his junior brother, who specialized in causing trouble and had severe gender cognitive disorder, would one day be invaded by his inner demons and embark on a path of no return. For hundreds of years, he had been staring at him in fear every day. It was only when he saw him advance all the way to the Incarnation Realm and finally successfully transcend the tribulation that he felt relieved. From then on, he no longer suppressed his cultivation. In just a hundred years, he reached the peak of the Incarnation Realm and welcomed the tribulation of ascension. Seeing that 80 of the 81 bolts of tribulation lightning had struck him, he was about to face the last bolt of tribulation lightning with his sword when the voice of his junior brother, who had already ascended, suddenly sounded in his ear. "Senior Brother! Help!" The next moment, he was dragged into another world. Wu Hua was speechless. Guo Guo (Junior Brother/Sister) was speechless. Master, please forgive this disciple for being unfilial. Today, I must clean up my family! He silently took out the frying pan that had been sealed for a hundred years… 2."I'm Really Not Cultivating": Important things have to be said three times. No CP, no CP, no CP. Su Yun went online and almost died after farming native NPCs for three days. He finally unlocked the correct mission mode and solved the mystery of his cheap father's background. His father said,"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!" What else could she do? If her father didn't listen, she wouldn't be able to complete this mission. She had always thought that she was just playing games casually, but one day, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with this world… 3: Help! She, Hua Qingyao, had her soul transmigrated into another world and became a vicious master with the same name. The original owner was ruthless and ruthless. He had single-handedly caused the sickly and rebellious disciple, Long Mochi, to turn dark. In the end, he was fed to piranhas, his bones were made into bedside tables, and his soul was made into a soul lamp. Fortunately, he had just taken in a disciple not long ago, so he could still be saved. At the same time, he would obtain the universal sign-in system and become stronger by signing in with the hot shots. Hua Qingyao was determined to teach his ruthless villain disciple to be a filial disciple. She laid down lazily."Disciple, I'm thirsty." In the next second, the Bejewelled Nectar was brought to her mouth. "Disciple, they say that I'm ugly and cause trouble." The moment he turned around, the enemy was tortured to the point of crying for his parents. 4."Si Wu Ya": The old country is still there, the person has passed away, and the flowers have fallen. I have been promised a lifetime of longing and tears in exchange for a world of peace. I never thought that a song of Si Wu Ya would stir up the bloody storm in the Jianghu again. 5."I just want to become an immortal": Mo Yue, who inexplicably transmigrated, expressed that since she was wearing it, she should be content. When Mo Yue, who could support herself, found out that she could cultivate, she said,"Don't stop me. I just want to cultivate." The path of cultivation was too dangerous and full of traps. Mo Yue decided to develop wretchedly. 6."My Profession is Heavenly Tribulation":"Female Lead Prizes Her Work" Jiang Qian, who had cultivated lightning techniques for 500 years, had finally entered Heavenly Court Corporation today! She had thought that she could become an immortal and become a Buddha, enjoying the fun of life. When she recalled the interesting things about cultivation, she was appointed to a new job in the Heavenly Court-Heavenly Tribulation. No one told her that she had to work part-time before the heavenly tribulation! --Small Theater-- He thought that he had nothing to do with His Highness other than official business… A somewhat familiar male immortal appeared in her residence. Her mortal heart, which had not moved in the past five hundred years, was moved… Ruoye: "Tribulation Monarch Jiang Qian, you did well this time. I'll reward you for going on a date with me." Jiang Qian was speechless. It was dangerous to brush up on performance, but it was even more dangerous to indulge in the beauty of the boss! If I had known that I would fall in love with someone, Jiang Qian said regretfully. She had stopped cultivating five hundred years ago. 7."I'm Flying on a Sword in the Magic Academy": As the once-in-a-thousand-year genius senior sister of the Shushan Immortal Alliance, Shi Daohan, she will represent the Shushan Sect to study at the Horagaga Magic Academy in the west. This is because after the three-year semester ends, she will be able to return to the Shushan Sect as an elder.

But I don't want you to be my master…" "Do you want to acknowledge me as your mother? Isn't this inappropriate?" "…I want you to be my wife…" "Hah! You really want me to be your mother…huh?" There was no sadomasochistic love, no immortal monarch who soared thousands of miles, no female protagonist with a negative IQ, only a life of crawling and rolling in this world of declining Taoism. 10:"My Tea House Connects to the Other World" In the bustling city, there was an antique teahouse that served Yang people during the day and Yin people at night. The so-called sinister people were dead people, but they also represented all kinds of demons and ghosts. And I am the owner of this teahouse, Dongfang Chu. "Mr. Dongfang, it's time." amp;quot; &amp;"Open the door and receive guests." amp;quot; At midnight, the gates to hell opened, and shady people from all eras entered this teahouse. Dongfang Chu traveled between Yin and Yang every day. At first, she was idle until the Black and White Impermanence came to her and told her that the vengeful souls in the underworld were complaining all day long. They wailed and howled, and they asked her to help resolve the resentful souls in the human world. Dongfang Chu was a businessman. He wanted benefits as soon as he rolled his eyes! The Black and White Ghosts reluctantly gave her thirty percent of the silver they had collected! With the ghost-catching manual given to her by the Black and White Ghosts, she accidentally stepped onto the path of eliminating demons and subduing demons! The charming Hundred Flower Ghost King wanted to take the snake demon that she cultivated, the fox demon that ate people's hearts, and the merman that was infatuated with her… Wait, why was there a devilish man staring at her and smiling? [Wonderful Theater] Dongfang Chu pouted and said unhappily,"How come you don't even know how to serve tea?" The corner of Bai Moli's mouth twitched, but then he put on an obedient expression and said,"Mr. Dongfang is right. I'll learn well now." The sinister person in the teahouse was so shocked that his jaw dropped. How did this Bai Moli, who had spread all over the demon world, become a servant in the teahouse? Dongfang Chu quietly whispered into Bai Moli's ear,"There's a new hotpot restaurant in the human world. Let's go eat there in two days." Bai Moli's mouth revealed a doting smile...
