This is the complete ranking of all the visual novels that were extracted from the votes in Getchu, although many visual novels did not appear in this ranking and many others were ignored, the vast majority are a great surprise to see them in this ranking, as we must remember that the market for these video games is still very niche, as their popularity has not soared as much as in other branches of the games.
The visual novels that have appeared in this list are the most popular among the Japanese public in the year 2023, so we consider that around the world the survey on visual novels would have been much higher in terms of quantity and popularity, because let’s not forget that this sector of video games took some relevance thanks to Doki Doki Literature Club, but since then we have not seen this market emerge again.
