Survey to assess the importance of VN elements

[elliesutcliff]

Hello, visual novel fans, I'm asking for your help

I'm preparing to write a graduation project on a topic related to the evaluation of VN and I'm collecting statistics regarding different people's views on various individual elements of such games. Here is anonymous google form where there are questions on different components of VN.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could take five minutes to give honest answers to the questions there. Your participation will determine the results of my research. Thank you very much in advance to everyone who responded!

Done.

I completed the survey, I hope it'll be of help to you

I tried answering until I realize I am unable to answer some question, either because I am not sure about the meaning of the question either because I am not familiar with the wording, either because I am unsure about the nuance with the question previously asked, I think you should either give a small description or a few examples to help people when such questions arise

Umm... just to be clear, it was apparent that some of the questions were not really a good fit, since there is no gameplay in a straight visual novel except clicking and making choices... Also, I think most people who have played an AI-generated VN will say they produce nothing but trash *winces at the bad memories*  

Asking about non-universal (or at least uncommon) features as part of a survey about the importance of certain features will probably only confuse any results you receive...

Thank you for your effort and feedback Could you maybe be more specific about what questions you were confused about? I personally understand what I wanted to say and can't know how clear the wording of the question is for someone else

Yes, I realize that many people won't give high scores to AI ( and I can already see that from the responses available). But even so, I'll get some conclusions regarding it. My instructor says that raising the issue of AI in my project will be a plus, because it's a hot topic today.

And I also wanted to take into account any possible features of VN in the survey, including non-universal. Thanks for being concerned about the quality of the results. I have a plan on how to use them and hope I'll be able to fulfill it and not get confused by the variety of them
