how do you guys move/start a new route?

 

do you skip to the choices or read it all over again or just collecting CG?. just curious for a newbie

[Fiddle]

My general strategy with VNs is to play a route all the way through, then continue with another route only long afterward, perhaps a year or so. This makes the common route more enjoyable when I return. But if I decide, for whatever reason, to finish the VN as much as I desire without taking a break, I'll most probably skip the common route.

[Kendjin]

I usually make use of the skip command as it has a setting to skip already read text. Meaning that once I make a different choice, it stops skipping, I read again and keep reading till I feel I've seen it again. Hit skip and see how much I have already read.

 

If I took a break between routes, I'd just re-read, but considering some common routes are 35 hours long, can't really re-read for 6 routes

 

You can use saves as choice checkpoints too. So you can save at first choice, the make a save at second choice option 1 and another save at second choice option 2, etc.

I skip all read text, the rest I just sit back and enjoy.

[Monmon]

Skip all read text.That what skip button r for.

most vn dont have skip to next choice though....i really like that feature.

[Clephas]

I've usually used the walkthrough to save at key points so that I can get back on a path as quickly as possible.  I read the text I haven't read yet then skip the rest.  No reason to reread the entire thing to get at the next path...

[Darkshine]

After i've finished a route I just skip past the content i've already read. It would take up too much time to keep rereading the thing over again.

Sharin doesn't really change all that much before the epilogue based on who you choose...

As i said earlier I skip read text, however I don't load at checkpoints, I prefer to always start from the beginning, some VNs prefer that so I became paranoid and I always do that now.

Paranoid, that's the right word for me. Some visual novels enjoy adding 1 flipping line that makes no sodding difference and yet I can't afford to skip over them, so I always start from the beginning with 'skip read'.

Yep, exactly like me.

[CruelN1N1]

Skip all the way

[edwd2]

Skip read, in the case of locked routes, patch an all CG save.

[BookwormOtaku]

Skip all preread text unless I'm in the mood to reread a scene I really liked

[Cythnar]

Skip already read text function for days.

[V_Kitsune_V]

Isn't it obvious

Skip it all day son!

[Freestyle80]

start another route?

i'd go back to the choice that most likely branches into routes and start from

there

either that or use skip and make different choices(and read some of it if its new text)

[Tatsujin]

The character that interests me the most.

 

Little Busters! Went straight for ... man what was her name? The girl with black hair, open busts. Physically strong and smart.

 

Clannad - Went for Tomoyo's arc first then Kyou. I loved both. Kyou was short ... Tomoyo was also short but thanks to the installment "It's a Wonderful Life" though I'm eagerly waiting for the EX edition to release for the full voiced version with extra scenes.

 

Grisaia - Amane, Yumiko, Michiru, Sachi, Makina.

 

Muv-Luv EXTRA: Meiya then Sumika. Didn't like Sumika so much back then. I do now. Same thing for Muv-Luv Altered Fable, Meiya first.

 

Uh ... what else .. I think .. that's it for now? I hope Angel's Beats have some real art and backgrounds ... I'm not a fan of Key's art at all (such bad anatomy makes me puke, haven't played ReWrite so can't comment on that one). I'm unsure who to actually go for in Angels' Beats first. Probably that dimwit pink hair loli chick with the baseball scene. Forgot her name.

After the first Route (what in the most cases is a Route, which I choose with powerful prejudices, to select the "best" one ) I usually skip read text in the next Routes. But the last one I normally read completely , with the common Route. The last One is either the True Route or a special one which i hold back for the end (without prejudices, based on the experience till then ).

 

Thats my usual behavior... I'm not ablte to take a break from a VN, whether good or bad. I have to finish what I started. It's like a OCD to me

I slots start with first choice and continue from there. Skipping only occasionally.

EDIT: ssorry for double post my Internet is funny...

[Life]

I go back to the choices that branch off into the routes and read through everything I haven't already. The first route I get into I always do according to what I would do in real life. Other routes give much more of the story to me and they are worth reading If I like where the VN is going.

[Nimbus]

It varies for me.
sometimes, especially if there's a long common route, I'll use the skip button but other times when i really like what's in the common route and it's a little shorter I'll read through the whole thing. 

[HMN]

i skip all the read text there isn't a need to read it all over again

[dreamweaver]

make save files at every route or follow walkthroughs.

usually too lazy to do the latter xD
