discussion Full Reader or Skipper?

[upsidedowndeskthe2nd]

There are time where i wanna just go through the story and read it or times when I wanna get to the good parts to jork it asap, but i would say the majority of time im a reader

 

[bricome]

mostly a reader, but some games get a bit wordy or there are dialogs that dont feel too important to the story so i just spam click through

I try to give each game a fair chance to read through it at first. Sometimes I end up just skipping through the text because the story is just lackluster.

I always try to read but once you start skipping you don't stop. Once I start skipping all my motivation no matter how much i try to just read again even if it's to catch up to recent content. I think Instagram caused this or just short-term content in general.

It depends on the game and its atmosphere. If it's slowly building tension, but it's not a Brazilian soap opera straight out of "Harlequins," then I try to understand the author's plot. However, I fear that in today's AI era, plot will mostly be created this way.

 

[FiddleFaun]

It depends. If the plot is interesting then it's a reading moment. If it's terrible then I'd just skip to the good part.

I like good stories, but it needs to grab me. If I play something like Projekt Passion, I see I read everything, it's funny to read and not too much.

With most stories, I think they would do best, to just delete 50% of the text.

It usually happens automatically in the first 5-10 minutes when trying the game, if the story really catches my attention I will read a lot of it but never 100% because there are situations where it's just obvious based on the context.

I rarely skip through a game, especially if it's new to me because I like to get into the story. However, when I encounter a game where the story makes no sense with a thousand characters who add nothing to the story, I start skipping to the next h scenes.

 

[NoThanksMan]

Generally I'll read the whole thing if a game grips me enough to keep playing it at all. However, most of the time if I get really invested, I'll make my main save, then skip to the end. This way I know who to expect to be developed into full LIs, who to expect to die, and if I should be expecting any cliffhangers. Nothing worse than sincerely hoping an LI gets developed before the game runs into its content wall then getting disappointed.

majority a reader, I like a good story with my porn

 

[kaguyakaga]

i skip almost everything. if something in the story happens to catch my eye, then i'll like pulse the skipping so i get like every 8th sentence

 

[dirtygamer12]

full read

 

[freff123]

It depends on the quality of the story, but I often skip

 

[alexusbiru]

Full reader at start always, then continue being as the story gets good or skip if gets stupid to see the porn faster.

 

[kremtoa]

I skip like 95% of the dialogue but if I'm invested in the story or want immersion, I'll read. Depends on how I'm feeling tbh.

 

[thevegit0]

i mostly skip if i can

Absolutely the same here, this perfectly captures how I feel about it. Sometimes the models and scenes are vastly better than the content and writing.

 

[Playbot7]

How it usually goes for me is that if i find the story intriguing then ill read like a wiki or watch a video so i can understand it otherwise i just skip everything, and if im really really interested then ill go back through the story

 

[Narch]

Game has a few tries to catch my attention but if they fail i'll be mostly skipping until i want some context over the scene. I'm often playing at night so getting bombarded with walls of text is a good way to get a headache. Specially if a good chunk of the text is onomatopoeias and moaning
