The question of "You would still play a VN if it had ________ but the rest was only meh." not having an option for "Characters with a rich personality" but going out of its way to have multiple options for "diversity" got me thinking.

I want to write a visual novel with no racial/gender diversity.

At all.

I want to write a visual novel about a guy dealing with the existential dread of living in some closed-off laboratory where the only other people he is aware of (over the course of the story) are other genetic clones from the same incubator sharing his genetics, and he starts to go crazy after hearing legends that some people are born with a slightly different hair color than him.

Hey Qory,

thanks for your reply.

The question you're mentioning should have an option to put your own individual answer, if you feel it's missing. :)

Please keep in mind that we are just two students. We don't make surveys peofessionally and just wanted to get a bit of an understanding what opinions about VNs are out there. It is highly likely that answers that many people would share are not there as a pre-typed option. We are humans, there is no way that we could pre-type every possible opinion out there. We just put what was at the head of our minds (wich included answers about diversity, since we, personally, care about it).

If it is your choice not to include a diverse cast in your VN that is entirely valid too, your idea sounds cool and we wish you the best of luck with your project :)
