Why are visual novels so overpowered.

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

I always feel like why visual novels like I/O, masadaverse, umineko, demonbane and more are so overpowered.

It just really makes them stupid.

Plus the plot makes no sense

I think it's just a form of bias. There's thousands of LNs and VNs and only a small fraction of it leads to Tier 1s (like with everything else).

If you want a further explination, VNs are basically novels with some pictures thrown in. Its far easier to make a extremly strong literature character compared to comic-mediums, video game-mediums, or live action-mediums since it relies almost entirely on the reader's personal interpration of the scene and you don't need to worry about physically conveying action. "Mark blew up infinite dimensions by flexing" is very easy to write but would be far harder to physically potray

Why is fiction overpowered?

Anyway you already got your answer on the same thread that you made on spacebattles main asking the exact same thing

Without diving too hard into cliché, books and the likes tend to have more complex, and thus more powerful, cosmologies than other forms of media. Now take this logic and apply it to Visual Novels, who are like books, except Japanese and with a tendency to be a bit more Shonen-like in how it treats power levels and you've got yourself an OP fiction.

It somewhat applies to Light Novels too.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

One reason is that Visual Novels have an extremely long read time as the norm, so it allows the capacity for a complex cosmology and power system

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

But yeah, most Visual Novels are just 10-Bs dating sims or something. It's just that the ones we care about here are the OP ones.

I can tell from this alone that you dislike them for being powerful but are not aware of their story whatsoever
