Significance
- Actively promote truly good games, ensuring that everyone uses websites like VNDB to see real visualized data and avoid being misled by "experts."
- Avoid the negative aspects of modern internet trends, such as the culture of praising and criticizing, valuing criticism as a virtue, etc.
- Encourage everyone to learn basic computer fundamentals to prevent the emergence of "keyboard warriors."
- Build a forum focused on individual user enjoyment, resisting the creation of elitist hierarchies.
- Many current websites use templates, resulting in a monotonous aesthetic; we aim to address this issue.
- ...and more.
We believe: " A game that brings you joy and makes you genuinely laugh is a truly good game! "
Our ultimate goal is to create: The world's best Visual Novel forum!

Operating Principles
1. The Cutest Visual Novel Forum in the World
Here, "cutest" doesn't just mean literally "cute / moe"; it refers to all the beautiful things in the world. Anything that makes you happy and feel wonderful can be called "cute / moe."
A visual novel forum means that we focus primarily on visual novels, and all topics on the homepage are related to visual novels. Other topics are placed in Topic Pool
2. To Create The Best Atmosphere
Continuing from the previous point, before we started designing the entire website, we wrote the following on the design drawing:
- Promoting truly good games, so everyone can see real visualized data on websites like VNDB and avoid being misled by "experts."
- Rejecting the modern internet trend of praising and bashing, considering criticism a virtue.
- Empowering anyone to learn basic computer skills to avoid "newbie" issues.
- Building a forum focused on individual user enjoyment, resisting the creation of hierarchies.
- ...
This means that unkind behavior, such as sarcasm and bashing, is not allowed on KUN Visual Novel. Of course, this all depends on everyone's opinions.
3. NO ADs Forever
Literally, the website will never have any form of advertisements. We believe a good forum should not have any advertising. If you find something resembling an ad, please report it. If 10 people report it, the topic will be locked.
4. Free Forever
Literally, no one will ever spend money on the website's virtual currency (Moemoepoints) . The amount of virtual currency depends on appreciation from others. If you would like to support us, you can do so here .
Forum Guidelines
The following behaviors will be considered violations:
- Prohibition of political discussions
- Prohibition of advertising and traffic redirection
- If sensitive topics or images are involved, please indicate in the article title
- Real-person pornography prohibited
- Malicious topic flooding, comments, and replies
- Malicious abuse of others
- Causing public outrage
Including, but not limited to, discussions that may cause political disputes in any country worldwide
If the redirection involves paid resources or other more severe actions, it will be considered as advertising and traffic redirection
For example, R18, R18-G, etc.
If any content is collectively judged by us as real-person pornography (including images, videos, audio, text, etc.), it will be considered a violation.
Even replying with one character counts as a meaningful reply, but if there are continuous meaningless replies, once we collectively recognize it as malicious comment flooding, it will be considered a violation.
However, if you believe your replies are meaningful, posting a thousand at a time is also acceptable.
If you think someone's actions are problematic, feel free to abuse them, and we will judge who is right or wrong based on the situation.
If there is no valid reason, it will be considered malicious abuse.
If we collectively determine that it has caused public anger and disharmony
Why offer guidelines? Because these are not "Moe" behaviors. If you'd like to learn more about posting etiquette, please see the Non-Moe Records .
