Interesting. Have you tried the Steins;Gate one?

I liked the first anime series, but (for me) the visual novel was incredibly tedious and boring. Did a refund of it on Steam about after 10-15 mins (from rough memory).

Theres no way I'd be able to put up with it for the whole duration.

The Steinsgate VN starts off very slow and stays very slow for quite some time. I also found it tedious. Fortunately there are hundreds (thousands) of other VNs to choose from.

Thanks, I think after seeing that one I've been turned off the whole genre.

Maybe I'll get around to trying one of the others you mentioned in a different comment. :)

It's unfortunate that VNs are both a medium and a genre. For reasons I don't quite understand, I adore the medium. Yet there are genre conventions that I dislike and that new readers generally can't tolerate.

For sure. The noncon convention is maybe my least favorite. I won't elaborate on HN.
