| 1 | A type of VisualNovel which averts the long-standing tradition of MultipleEndings. Instead of branching plots which can end in multiple ways, a novel of this type has only one ending and one story to tell. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | A variation of this is having an obvious true ending and multiple bad endings when certain conditions are met. A way of telling if this is a Linear Visual Novel is if the other endings are obviously marked as bad/dead ends which are not canon. These kinds of stories do have some form of interactivity, but the way they change the plot is more cosmetic than the regular VisualNovel. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | A subtype of this is the KineticNovel, where there is absolutely no interactivity involved. Examples of these novels should go on that page and not here. |
