And unfinished/dead game tag would work. But this problem is widespread and extremely common. They need to put a stop to creators with commitment issues, who waste everyone's time with unfinished stories. Give priority to SERIOUS creators. I say take visibility away from dead projects & give it to new ones.
Out of 75+ VNs I have read since 2020, only 5 have been completed, 70% were outright abandoned for 2+ years, and the remaining 29% are still ongoing/unfinished.
Agreed. It is infuriating how many VNs are left unfinished or abandoned for years on this website. They need a bot or someone to check every page project & if it has not seen any activity or updates in 18 months, automatically remove from them from the search engine, so other active projects get more visibility instead.
Hmmm, good valid question, DoctorDVD.
There might, but it is not mainstream & might be very rare, since the Bara genre is typically for homosexual men & women who like big bulky bear-like men. It would be cool if there were a VN where you had Bara male characters & could choose between male & female romantic routes.
The female Bara characters would probably look like She-Hulk.
I am very close to giving up on this VN altogether. I am sick and tired of unprofessional developers who leave their audience hanging.
My best friend & fellow developer on this website is named Seth Baine. He is very talented: he created his entire VN titled "El Escritor (The Writer)" before uploading it to his page. The monthly updates were just to fix bugs or typos & add translations to other languages. That ensured Seth's audience could enjoy his entire 22-chapter VN in one go. I wish more people on this site followed his example.
Me three, but given how this VN has been abandoned for over a year now, I no longer expect it to be updated or finished.
These VN creators with poor work ethic are becoming annoying. If you are not going to finish the project, don't post it.
Since I joined itch io, there have been 75 VNs I have read. Of those, 45 have been abandoned and only 3 have been completed.
Me encanto la novela visual! Dendelion es super adorable y uno lo quiere abrazar y proteger! La historia me sorprendio mucho y quede intrigado por las revelaciones en el tercer acto. Aunque no podia traducir todo lo que dijo en su echizo, mas o menos pude identificar la mitad de las palabras por su parecido al Latin.
Big Pharma is the biggest global cartel. Of course they are going to want to fearmonger with culpable greedy governments. I wouldn't be surprised if they all commissioned China to create the virus, so they could create new physical ailments on healthy people, and further monetize every flu season.
That aside, this abandoned VN bullcrap is why it VN authors on this site should refrain from posting their half-baked unfinished projects until they are completed. It is highly unprofessional, annoying as hell, and disrespectful to audiences, to be constantly presented with bits of content that will never be completed. Thankfully, my best friend on this site has good work ethic & actually finished his VN before posting it. I read his VN in 3 months and greatly enjoyed the ride, without having to wait months between.
In the author's defense, the story, specially Tai's route, greatly elaborates on the biology of these anthropomorphic animal men, their tragic apocalyptic backstory, and most importantly, why the MC/Player suddenly goes mad with sexual lust & promiscuity -- which is partly out of his control, due to an external force tampering with his hormones.
Sadly, I did feel repulsed by the MC's behavior, specifically the disgusting toxic threesome that ensued. Although it does play into the MC's later character growth also.
