Posted in: 'Otome' games: The most entertaining way to rethink your love life? See in context
I've found visual novels/gal games/otome games, etc to be a wonderful language learning tool. Especially bridging the gap between intermediate and advanced Japanese.
Most of these games are fully voiced, so you can listen to each line and work on your listening comprehension, and many games let you replay voiced lines. I move to reading the text after I've tried to parse listening to the line. Then if there's still a word I don't understand after reading, I look it up and make a flash card.
There's also a ton of reading, of course! The click to advance gameplay lets you go at your own pace. It's a really fun way to practice!
