Guilty pleasure IFs/VNs

[A-Kun]

As the title says, what IFs/VNs that you know aren't that great/ have a lot of issues but you still like them anyway?

I mean, let me say it, Samurai of Huga xDDD
Although I do actually think it's a great love letter to the culture of early 00s translated animes. But I don't care what direction story goes, I'm here for the ride till the end xDDD

Bastard of Camelot and POMA my beloveds. Also great reminders of why it's important to have an outline (especially POMA).

Wayhaven for me. I don't think it's *bad* but it certainly isn't the best out there either. I still love it tho, for Mason if nothing else.

Wdym POMA has a pretty clear outline

Step 2: Worship Mei Mei
Step 3: Repeat Step 2

Oops forgot to include mine.

For VNs- The Cosmic wheel sisterhood, Original Fujiwara bittersweet

For if's - Wayhaven and The Soul Stone War of course. And TSSW is going to the trash bin, after all that was happening to it and its author. Also, probably CCHill's smut.
For vn's, first - i like Our Life games. It's nice to chill sometimes and get detox from drama and other depressing things i read, play or experience. Second - sh*t ton of the yandere novels made by first timers. Those one's where Mc is brainless, plot holes everywhere, writing/art is bad/not to my taste, etc. Sometimes its just fun to experience and rarely author can surprise me and grow a skill. I can withstand a lot of cringe, but i can drop the game if its too much.

Agreed with first timer's VNs, like there not well written/thought out 8/10 of the time but it can be a fun read and sometimes you come across a VN that's pretty good/ unique for the indie VN space like The Retrospection Of Tomorrow, Sirens call and Magical Warrior Diamond Heart

Guilty pleasures, as in not necessarily the best written, best made, most interactive, or most popular IFs/VNs, but ones I enjoy enough to keep up with and will happily play whenever they update, especially when there's nothing more interesting to read:

IFs:

• Guardian of Time
• The Lost Bride
• BFF
• Blood of the Living
• Dragon Kin
• Love After Death (though, to be fair, I'd play it the second it updates)
• CCHill's IFs
• The Six That Thrive
• Tears of Tianchao
• The Split
• A Mage Reborn

VNs:

• Ebon Light
• The Winter Wedding
• Duality
• Forever Loving You
• A Date with Death
• Heart Cage
• And a couple of other beginner VNs/yandere VNs

I used to find a lot of fun VNs, but nowadays they seem to be dying out, or there just aren't that many new ones anymore.

• Dragon Kin

Don't see that one get mention that much but yeah, an interesting read (although am I the only one that gets a little confused on what we look like transformed, do we just have wings, claws and some scales or are we more inhuman looking?)
