FINALLY BACK!!
Sent you a PM with my discord tag, though writing on a profile seems easier for me, because I can check offline and read during lunch break or sth.
Other than MAL and discord and the links under "also available at" in my profile, I'm also at Kitsu (where btw. also quite some other MAL users had taken "refuge"), but with the underscore ( _ ) in my profile-URL after my username. I only use it as an alternative backup and because the blog-style is also nice
They will fix their site; they're just quite slow, because they seem to go thoroughly through every line of code. Yes, I have, but I've been quite passive, lately.
If you still have interests in Visual Novels, one of the Visual Novels I'm currently reading, To Heart 2, is really great. It's similar to Da Capo and yes, there are many choices to make, but if you constantly follow a specific girl, you get to see really nice stories.
It's been quite long that a "pure love"-type of Romance has moved me as much in a Visual Novel as Sasara's route in TH2.
Concerning Touka:
Also picked up some completed LNs, but ultimately, I haven't managed to finish even one series if I'm not mistaken, due to having lost interest in the story. Problem is that I've been mostly interested in Romance stories and like you wrote, there are "pseudo-harems that never go anywhere in both anime and other mediums", though it doesn't have to be a "pseudo-harem". A love triangle is also fairly common and it's so plain boring. One the one hand, I can understand that the controversies with different shipping pairings sells better, but on the other hand, it reduces the potential a heroine could have had if they had focused more on her instead. There are too many works focusing on the pre-stages of a love relationship and how people fall in love with each other, instead of how people live in a romantic relationship after having stopped falling in love with each other, anyway.
That you can pick your dream girl and have different routes rather than being restricted to one linear ending is what makes Visual Novels the ideal medium for Romance.
How are Web Novels? Are they like Manga, just published on the web?
