Visual novels are an intresting genre of game, as they don't tend to have a lot of gameplay mechanics. For the most part, you spend your time reading through the story without even making any decisions, but despite this, the genre has grown in popularity. With so many great releases last year, it's no surprise that 2022 has a great line-up already.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
