Hey, Humboldt!

Nah, that isn't the case. Visual Novels are books/novels that are presented in video game format (Japanese in origin). So you get a book that comes with music, changing backgrounds, and character expressions. Sometimes Visual Novels having voicing acting and choices which change how the story goes and how things end (think fancy choose your own adventure books). They tend to be pretty cheap in cost, around $5-$20 and they take a while to get through.

Thank you, you too! Writing truly is the best distraction. It is cheap (as long as you have imagination), anything can happen, and it is accessible to everyone.
