I have a few VN's from Itch that I don't wanna start because they're probable gonna be too short for my taste, despite being free. So definitely games I won't play enough of. Similar reason as to why there's only a singular game on my steam account I regret purchasing, despite it having been a $1.99USD purchase: also a VN.

    Similar issue, I have many VNs that seemed like a good deal at the time, but would take way too much time to get interesting.

    Half of them it seems like you need to go through 20 requisite school scenes meeting people before anything interesting happens. While I finished Steins;Gate, it’s initially guilty of that kind of slow build.

    I've been hesitating to download and play that behemoth of a VN. Slow build be damned, I will eventually stop procrastinating on playing Steins; Gate.

    And as someone who played Danganronpa 2 and v3, will agree on the thing of excessive meeting people. If there's at least one thing I like about how the first game is set up, you get to meeting all the characters in one area, so it kinda cuts down on being excessive a little bit... after all the typical excessive setup scenes.
