How many do you play at once, if any?

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. 

Yeah I'm like that with books as well. Usually they're all different so everything stays kinda fresh and interesting for me. That's why I decided to play some Cartagra and Higurashi alongside The Fruit of Grisaia and Little Busters because I need my creepy stuff lol

Lol that is me in a nutshell. I read too many vns, but I also read a lot of books.

I'm also really bad with video games. I often have about 4 video games that I'm switching between on a regular basis.

Same, videogames are a neverending backlog for me, as well as vns and anime.

Yeah it is nice to have a different story. I see more vns, that interest me, and I end up reading them. I do need to finish the ones I started though.

My boyfriend doesn't understand how I have so many things on the go, but I don't understand how he can only have one thing to focus on so I guess it evens out lol

Tbh, it gets dull when you are only playing or watching one thing. It can also get a little frustrating, when I don't know what to do, or I just need a break from that. Eventually I do come back to it. When I read a vn I may read one route or chapter at a time, and go to another one. If I really enjoy it, I'll read the whole vn.

I completely agree. Sometimes it's difficult being into so many different things and different genres because there's never enough time to do everything you want to lol. Like I'm into Cartagra a lot right now but I'll be wanting to switch to something more light hearted soon because I can't handle heavy stuff for a long period of time.

20-30. Then again i only actually play one at a time and have old ones from 2016 or even before.. lately i've only played school days which was started in 2016. Maybe 1 route / month.

Just 2016? Hehe. I started Steins;Gate in 2013 and still haven't finished it.

Though, needless to say, I'll start it from the very beginning when I finally get to it.

Two. One long VN and one nukige. The nukige is in case I haven't reached any H scenes in the long VN yet and need my hit.

[namiultedjapanXD]

I only ever do one at a time. I tried doing two once but I really prefer being immersed in one story at a time. It watered down the experience in my opinion.

[Alcorin]

I try to only do one at a time, but the truth is that, unless my hyperfixation kicks in, my attention span is pitiful So I usually have 2-3 big things going on and a myriad of smaller ones that I can finish in 1-2 sittings ^^

Yeah you sound similar to me lol

[mitchhamilton]

i cannot discourage playing multiple vns at a time enough. xD

 

its so easy to think "oh, well this way is more efficient" but usually whats happening is one is satisfying you in some way while another may, but then another may satisfy you and you find yourself in an endless loop of not finishing anything and you have a massive backlog that only grows and grows until it consumes all your pc space until you start deleting stuff you want to read but you know itll take you 30 years to read them anyways! 

 

STOP IT! DONT DO IT! DONT END UP LIKE ME! THIS IS THE FACE OF ONE WHOS FALLEN SO FAR!  

[Chronopolis]

A bunch, but I can testify that it's more satisfying when I'm just concentrating on 1-2 VN's.

[McDerpingheimer III]

I’ve been going through every VN on vndb in alphabetical order and reading the first 500 lines of each

I’m in the middle of the D’s right now, so I’m at about 5000 VNs at once

[Codesterz]

I only read one at a time. New English VN releases that I'm interested in are so rare that there really isn't even a chance to read 2 at a time. Whenever a new one comes out I'll usually just hardcore read through it and be done with it within a week. I even avoid going on Discord so I can't be bugged by people to play games with them XD

[MIUUZICK]

More than 7 usually. I try to read one at a time, I really do, but I can't stay focused on only one thing for too long, I need diversity in what I read and there are so many I wanna read too so yeah. It's a huge problem though.

Yeah, I'm exactly the same lol

[Truffa]

Well, like books, I read two at most, especially if they're heavy plot wise, only one if I'm really into it, when I read Umineko I didn't read any other visual novel at the time. Ofc, if I'm very invested in a vn I would only read that one. For eroges and otomes who are only romance centered I read like three or more at the same time
