A Japanese novel read as an game-like application on a computer. A term to distinguish itself from a "Game" because there is usually no gameplay involved, and the only interaction that the player can make with the game is making certain choices at specific points in the game that decides which branch of the storyline that the player will take.
Also distinguishes itself from an "eroge" or "hentai game" in that sex is usually the main appeal of a hentai game, but plot and story is the main appeal of a visual novel.
Anime-styled drawing most of the time. Some may contain sex scenes, and some are emotionally charged stories targeted at older audiences with a lot of plot and depth. The pros are that it usually comes with pictures, sounds effects, music and voices which gives one a richer experience than reading a plain novel. The cons are that it requires a lot of clicking of the mouse to scroll through the novel text.

Get the Novelyn mug.Novalee is so talent. Novalee can make anybody laugh. Most of the time they are players and will flirt without noticing. They are so pretty and are actual goddesses. They tend to be leaders and always have the best advice. Once they become your friend they will be there for you no matter what. Sometimes they have trust issues because how much they've been hurt.

Get the Novalee mug.Based on the Japanese form of keitai shosetsu, or "cell phone novel", a twitter novel is the newest form of serialised fiction on the interwebs. The 140-character limited format and method of reading bottom-to-top offers great opportunities for experimentation within the novel form and makes the reader pay more attention than they would with straight-ahead dead tree fiction.
