How much do you play VN a day/a week?

[sarkasmus]

Really depends on the day, if i just bought a new book or game i usually don't play at all.

But usually on workdays i play 2-3 hours (split between VNs, games and books) depending on what i feel like on weekends with bad weather make that up to 15 hours depending if i feel like cooking or making a cake again.

If the weather is good however it's only 3-4 hours because go hiking whenever i get the chance.

So it can vary between 0 and 45 hours per week.

Imagine not being addicted to gacha games and actually having time to play VIsual Novels as a result [sobs]

No, but seriously though. Visual novels are kinda like books to me, so I tend to play them "if I'm in the mood for it"----which isn't that often, sadly. Love VNs, just not able to concentrate on them as much as I wish I could. This forum has been remotivating me to get back into them properly, though!

Usually I play for 1-3 hours every day. In the past I played far less(wasn't much to choose from back in the day).

[Nemesis]

I play around 10-20 hours per week. Covid and working from home has given me quite a bit of extra time everyday.

Since I finished HoshiOri a month ago, I'm on a self-imposed break from VNs - because when I get into one, I often end up using almost all my free time for reading - and there were some other things that I had or wanted to do But I'm starting to feel withdrawal symptoms

I try to read for at least 30 minutes a day. On the weekend, I can spend as much time on a VN as I want.

Kinda dropped playing for a long time.

Been playing like kind off on and off lately so like 1 vn per 1 month?

[MiMo]

Around 10 hours per week, mostly on stream.

It varies a lot for me. When I'm playing a visual novel, I usually spend 1 to 3 hours in one day, and I always stop once I reach a chapter's end.

But there are days in which I don't read VNs, even though I'm playing one at that moment.

When a finally sit down to relax, play at least for some time, it all depends on how the week goes. 

[alexfang452]

It depends on my life. 
Sometimes, I can spend over 5 hours a week on VNs. Then, there are weeks where I just reach 1 hour due to class assignments, playing other games, or I just get distracted.

It varies a ton for me...last week my wife was on vacation, so I read for 43 hours. So far this week I've only read about 7.

 

I'm on medical leave at the moment, so I probably average somewhere in the realm of 25-35 hours / wk reading VN's though right now. I sort of dropped playing other video games almost entirely. On the extreme end in one 10 day period last year I read 110 hours (read G-sen, Making Lovers including FD and Kin'iro including FD). So my reading habits kind of vary pretty wildly, but I usually finish 1-2 VN's a week without too much trouble.

just updating this, since I have a notification on it: I'm playing way more now, so I'd say around 3 hours a day? It depends on how busy I am, but I try to read at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 hour daily

[cadensos]

I play as much as I can personally. I'd say generally I play about 6 hours (I'm a student and get my work done before I go home, so I have plenty of time)

for weekends, it can really depend on the day. Usually, I'll spend the whole day trying to get through the VN, I like to finish VNs in a couple days so it's important I read as much as possible. However, I do have days where I take breaks and might not read at all.

I like to get immersed in the stories I read, and I just personally can't if I only spend a few minutes reading. Plus, I have 100s of VNs I want to read, so I have to be pretty dedicated. Makes me wonder what percentage of my life will have been spent on VNs.
