    I wish I could find VNs that featured people in their thirties and weren't for creepy emotionally stunted men, but I really have no idea how to navigate the genre.

      It's really a genre, that despite loving deeply, I've largely aged out of. Watching high-schoolers navigate their love lives is interesting in middle school but when you're in your 20's it's just a bit creepy.

      I'd honestly be satisfied if they were just 25 instead of literal children. At least then I can rationalize it as them being adults even if they are a good bit younger than me. So many good stories ruined by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

      Edit: Speaking of which, Umineko is pretty good and much less cringy than the average VN novel. Never miss a chance to recommend Umineko.

          I have not found yet any communist romance but im sure you can find books featuring middle aged characters and feminist thought is not alien to the genre
