Open Review Guidelines

Similarly to open discussions, anyone is free to write reviews. That said, do not start replying to others. The review guidelines are a bit more strict and straight forward as our goal is to have reviews that can potentially help others to figure out whether they wish to invest their time to those visual novels or not. So please do keep that in mind when making a review.

Section 1.
◢ When creating the thread ◣

When creating a new thread, use the following topic title:
[Open Review] Name of the visual novel
, and if the visual novel is rated with R18, add [R18] at the end.

Example: [Open Review] Meteor World Actor [R18]

Section 2.
◢ When writing your review ◣

You are free to write your review the way you want to, as long as:

  • Images can be included, but no overused!
    Use images to explain or clarify your points if needed, but do not flood your review with meaningless images.
    Maximum of 256 x 200 pixels

  • It does not include videos or external links.

  • It is spoiler free.
    But if you must have spoilers, use spoiler tags!

  • You rate the visual novel.
    Use MAL's 1-10 rating system. You are free to rate other things as well, such as music etc.

  • It is written with proper manners and professionalism in mind.
    Meaning, your goal is to sell the product to others, so don't use bad language and think how you should present your review to others! As an example, do not just write that you got a new waifu from it and that's why the visual novel is so great.

Remember to attach a link to these guidelines at the end of your thread, or just copy paste this:
[right][url=https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2120206][color=#e10505]◢ Open review guidelines ◣[/color][/url][/right]

Section 3.
◢ When the thread is made by someone else ◣

The open review threads should only contain reviews, so don't start replying to others.
That said! If you yourself wanted to make a review out of the same visual novel, you should use the already existing thread, rather than making a new one again!


If you still are unsure about something, you should ask from the staff. They're more than happy to help you!
