How many do you play at once, if any?

[PrincessOfFinch]

Just kinda curious about this but do you play more than one visual novel at a time? If so, how many? 

[Inorin]

I used to play like 5-6 vns at one go, but now it's one at a time because I finish them faster this way

[bakauchuujin]

Usually 1 or 2, sometimes 3.

One or two in english if two then one is a nukige while the other is not and then one in japanese.

Btw atm only reading 1, that being Imouto Paradise 2. Currently taking a break from VNs in japanese since I am reading through assasination classroom in japanese and don't feel like reading too much in japanese at the same time.

Yeah that makes sense. I find it hard to play just one or two at a time though because there's so many I wanna start lol

Jealous that you can understand Japanese lol

2-3 most of the time.

And to be more specific - I'm usually reading a single VN and following 1-2 playthroughs on Youtube (mostly listening to those while working). I really avoid picking up more than that, mostly because I review many of the VNs I read and don't want to divide my attention too much.

Seems like you still have some way to go

[kooolm]

Just one at a time. It helps to stay focused and not forget the plot and the characters lol

One. I had Hanahira as a side-read, with it being my first untranslated title, but that was the only case.

Sometimes I might make a break for something short between the routes of bigger title  - like I read TrueLove between two routes of Fureraba - but I don't think it counts as "at once".

During the last years I barely had the time to read one VN. So multiple ones are just impossible.

Before that I didn't know about VN so I can't give a number for times when I'm not that busy, maybe 2?

If I mangage to screw up one of the current exams I can tell you in about a month.

[Dreamysyu]

Usually just one at a time. Whenever I try to read two VNs at once, I usually just end up completely dropping one VN in favor of the other.

[URV]

Technically one at a time, but I do have the tendency to play one VN for a while, get bored, and switch to a different VN. If that were to count as playing two VNs at a time, then I would be playing somewhere between 11-24 VNs at the moment.

One at a time. It's easier to finish it that way. If i keep switching vn's then it's easy to permanently drop a vn after a few days if it's not super interesting. Might not always be a bad thing, but still.

[AustriaVNFan]

usually 2. That may seem strange but the reason is this:

I usually play on my home PC where I play only 1 VN at a time.

But when I am on travels because of work I have a 2nd (and different) VN installed on my work laptop. The VN on my laptop is usually one with an easier plot because I only get to play them from time to time so they shouldn't be too plot-heavy.

n: n ∈ {too many}

One. I have zero backlog. They are too short anyway! 50 hours novel can be finished in just several days.

I have a similar tendency. I usually play ~3 VNs at the same time and have a handful of other VNs that I count as currently playing, usually I'm in between routes in those.

I suppose maybe I'd finish them faster if I focused on one at a time, but I'm not sure I could manage that. I do the same thing with other types of media.

For the last two years I've only been reading visual novels in my free time at home easily covering 10 hours per weekend as a result. Don't try to repeat that, though. At my MMORPG days I could play for 20 hours per day. Such endurance only comes after years and years of training.

[yelsha57]

I read several of them, because I like variety, or I just need a little break. I also switch to another one, depending on my mood, like if I want to read a mystery or a Nakige for example.
