I'm trying to get my little brother to read more often. What are some great, entry level VN's for him to get invested in? Stuff like pic-related for example.He's 14
let your brother do what he wants
He should read real books weeb
>>341817750
Only good NV's I can think of are 999, VLR, and the Danganronpa's, but they're a bit mature.
>>341817750
danganronpa. its colorful and animu enough to keep a teenager's attention
>>341817848
Calm down, it's not like I'm putting a shotgun to his head and forcing him to read. It's just gentle persuasion so he doesn't grow up to be an illiterate degenerate.
>>341817948
Did you really think that wasn't my first option? He keeps dropping everything so I'm trying for a more interactive approach.
There are no good visual novels. Also those are not even video games. Make him read a book instead, faggot. Maybe he might actually learn something.
>>341818129
get him to read science textbooks then fiction is a waste of fucking time and will turn him into a giant fag
>>341818129
>It's just gentle persuasion so he doesn't grow up to be an illiterate degenerate
And yet you want him to read visual novels.
>>341817750
What other genres does he like? If he has even the slightest affinity for puzzles, I'd suggest Virtue's Last Reward. I don't evne like puzzles OR VNs, and that one stuck with me.
>>341818129
The format doesn't matter. Keep shoving things down his throat until he finds a story he likes. That's literally every kid ever. No one likes reading until they find the one.
>>341818129
Making him "read" a visual novel is not gonna help. He will just turn into you and if you're posting on /v/ then that's not really a good thing. Slap him and force him to read a damn book if he says no.
RPGs helped me get into reading when I was young.
I feel like that would be better for him, VN's aren't all that interactive.

>>341818402
Ok, fine.

These are all books I have lying around.
>>341817750
Layton games
>>341818924
What's his reading level at?
Also fuck The Giver.
Dune RPG never ever.
I just want to play a game as Paul to ride worms and have some blasts.
>>341818924
Make him read Brave New World you dumbass
>>341818924
Don't you have Harry Potter?
It's very easy to get into.
>>341819093
If the reading level of the average teen is at sea level, he's at the Earth's core.
>>341819484
I don't have Brave New World. But, I do have 1984 now that I think about it.
>>341819594
So I'm presuming you didn't read my list?
>>341818924
>>341819594
Oops should have read the poll first before posting stupid shit.
>>341818924
What does he like though? 120 days of sodom sounds interesting, but maybe he would hate it.
>>341818924
Percy Jackson books are pretty easy to read. He might find them fun, if there's any hope for him.
>>341819886
The only books he reads are the ones his English teacher forces him to. So he doesn't have any books he likes.
>>341819678
>he's at the Earth's core
Give up hope and get him into sports or teach him a trade.
Get nightmare academy. It's fucking teen tier book with full of twists and fun monsters.
I got my brother into reading by that book.
>>341818924
try the Piers Anthony fantasy stuff. That stuff was fucking awesome when I was 14.
>>341819093
What's so bad about the Giver? I remember liking it back when I read it in Highschool.

>Congratulations, Slytherin.
>You've topped every test and exam for the entire year, giving you the clear lead in points for the House Cup
>However, I'm going to give 50000 points to Gryffindor because Harry is my homeboy
>Get fucked
Why did Dumbldore do this every single year? It's no wonder Slytherins turn out to be assholes when they get this shit all the time.
I'm casul with vns and i like digital a love story. its free and it has two sequels also good, analogue a hate story and hate plus
Just show him /v/. He'll be reading and I'm sure at his age he'll fit right in.
>>341820957
Isn't that what hip people call "societal norms" or something? Basically, it's the role society forces you to play. Kinda like a movie.
>>341817750
>He's 14
>Still can't read
LOL what? Everyone is literate by grade 5.
>>341821174
It's not that he CAN'T, it's that he WON'T.
>>341821421
Then why the desire to make him read? Do you want him to become more cultured?
>>341821860
Yes, start him off easy, then gradually make his material more mature until he gets some culture in him. I hoped that letting him play through a few VN's would let him see that reading is fun before giving him actual literature.
Dunno, just keep throwing at him what would resonate with him.
I've read Crime and Punishment in seventh grade, but couldn't be bothered to finish a single Harry Potter book.
>>341822267
My dad got me into reading with astrology books. Black holes and stars are fascinating.
>>341822412
Not him, but it's nice to see another black hole enthusiast on /v/. So tell me, would you enter one if given the choice?
>>341822412
Astrology? As in telling fortunes with stars?
>>341822684
He probably meant astronomy. I get the terms mixed up all the time, too.
