My new hobby: Picking five random tags from VNDB and creating a visual novel plot based on them.

I used random.org to create a list of numbers between 1 and 1605 (the ID of the most recent tag at time of writing), and used those numbers in order to come up with the tags to use for these plots. I skipped deleted tags (like “chicken sandwich”) and meta tags (like “other elements”) since the first case are typically deleted for a reason and the second case are typically unusable. The result? Each plot gets a separate set of random tags that I have to piece together into an idea for a visual novel.

Let’s give some a shot.

Monster birth, office, timid hero, priest, succubus heroine: A timid guy meets a priest to exorcise a demon from his office. The demon happens to be a pregnant succubus who gives birth during the exorcism. The baby monster latches to the guy, thinking that he is its father. Like this, his new life begins…

Transfer student hero, protagonist’s boss as heroine, butler hero, perverted friend, support character with multiple personalities: The mistress of a young butler introduces him and a recently relocated classmate of her son to the erotic mysteries of an older women. The two must keep their ménage à trois from the lady’s pervert son and DID-suffering husband.

University student protagonist, angel heroine, divine beings, kemonomimi heroine, youkai: During a trip to a local temple, a first-year university student trips over a girl. She reveals herself to be an angel sworn to protect the temple from troublesome gods and monsters. Unfortunately she has nowhere to stay and asks for the student to let her move into his dorm. Unsurprisingly, the troublesome beings, including a kappa, trickster goddess, and cat-girl follow them and also move in. Like this, his supernatural harem life begins…

Unnamed protagonist, road trip, graphic violence, tactician, past: In the wild west of the 1870s, a lone gunman wanders the ranges, searching for clues to his forgotten past. A former army captain occasionally appears and helps him discover clues, but whenever he appears, lives are shattered and towns destroyed as he lures dangerous elements to fight the gunman.

If you come up with anything interesting from these sets (or any tag sets you generate yourself), share them!
