I felt this was an underdiscussed niche.

I usually don't read visual novels but I enjoyed Clannad and Steins;Gate on PSP, however my favourite visual novels are on PS Vita.

On PSP I'm curious about Code Geass. It's seems like a fun idea for a visual novel.

Talk about PSP VN it is just me or there more of otome VN (at least on this site) than VN aim at male or general audiences?

From the ones I played, "Hakuoki" is the most "general-audience" aimed of the three, in my opinion, because apart the love stories it looks like an adventure/light horror/ supernatural novel.

On PSVita, reading reviews and seeing articles around the web I've had the impression most of the VN (at least on Vita, and from Idea Factory) are otome, but I'm not really into the genre; I think in this site you can find most of titles released on various consoles, so maybe otome are the most part?

Honestly PSP made me learned about something called "otome VN" because there are a lot. I mean beforehand why I never cared about visual novels is they were like only for horny teen bois. Perhaps around that era companies merged their power to change this sense of visual novels by advertizing "visual novels can be for non-horny girls too!!" and it was surprising that visual novels can be beyond having cringe digital romance with 2D characters to "merry with" by seeing this WTF moment on PSP ("I can't blame I'm reading a visual novel and characters doesn't care about sexual BS" lolol). And in this context PS Vita, despite hated for its library, actually restored my faith on visual novels "so even I could care about existence of visual novels" way more than I started to care on PSP.

Also this one, though there are no choices, it's no lovestory and you only read from the beginning to end: I loved it.

If you are interested on this website there are some good Visual Novel games.

This is a good list. I recently purchased a used PSP-3000 from a local mom-pop game shop about a mile from me, and have been looking for good titles to catch up on (when I had it, I only played Dissidia).

 

[nobitakun]

Great topic. I recommend Little Busters and Rewrite from that list.

Also Amagami, Fruit of Grisaia, Planetarian, Shin Koihime Musou (playing all 3 VN you get all 3 point of views from the 3 armies), Cross Channel and Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku he:

 

[Otosou]

If you need to play one VN mentioned so far, go with remember11. It's dark as heck but excellent, the music is top-notch and the story is very, very complex with many layers - it made me think a lot even after the end.

 

[CG4R12I4N]

Kinda pointless other than the otome ones cause most of them are also already in English on PC and not PSP exclusives, they don't even try to port some of the PC localization to PSP like Misshitsu no Sacrifice/Abyss of the Sacrifice or Utawarerumono.

Really, the only ones worth noting (the ones in English) are just the otoges in the second post, Toradora, OreImo, Amagami, Yarudora Portable series and the Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel duology. Wish we got something real big for PSP fantranslation scene like Tokimeki Memorial 4 or Atelier Elkrone at the very least.

It’s definitely close on my to-play list jaja.

Amagami has no PC version, and is one of the few games I like, because when there is no PC version there is a high chance of being a visual novel full of husbandos or weird and not appealing. The rest do have, and as you say it is always better to play uncensored versions in PC.

Utawarerumono is not solely a visual novel, I thought this topic was for 100% visual novel without any other elements. Otherwise I would have mentioned Photo Kano or Tears to Tiara Gaiden, which are not present on PC as well and have gameplay beyond reading text.

But since I am very classic, otome games are not for me, so I only count games based on girls

Yeah basically this plus it’s not that unimaginable some of us prefer stuff on the go lol (I’m outdoors often cuz of my job and always itching to game, today I played raging loop while drinking a latte outside lol)

Tbf you’re allowed to bring this up no law against or anything lol. Plus I’m always up for more recs jaja. I’m pretty informal with this stuff so don’t worry too much I’m just here to chat and look for games hahahaha.

That’s ok lol. I play a lot of them but they’re really niche.
