History NiceGuy / VisualNovels

** Akane in ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' is sweet but DelicateAndSickly and is very concerned for everyone's safety. [[spoiler:Although BewareTheNiceOnes and remember that NiceIsNotGood. Being kidnapped and almost burned to death nine years previously by Hongou turned her into quite the MagnificentBitch and she's the one who set up the game, kidnapped all the players, and orchestrated the murders of three people [[WellIntentionedExtremist although not without a good reason]].]] She ''tries'' to remain NiceGirl in ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'' but Junpei's cynical attitude tends to get on her nerves ''a lot''.

*** Sonia Nevermind (the SHSL Princess). She's polite and charming and gets along well with everyone, and she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. [[spoiler:Which is probably why she's one of the few students who survives the entire game; she provokes no one into killing her and she never has any desire to kill anyone so she isn't executed.]] Though she can be kind of a jerk to Kazuichi, her StalkerWithACrush however [[KickTheSonOfABitch that's understandable]] considering he's a JerkAss with zero respect for her boundaries.

*** [[spoiler: Nagito Komedea is an amusing aversion of this, in the first chapter he seems like an expy of the poster boy of kind characters aka the first games Makoto Naegi, with his warm, optimistic and helpful personality and he's never seen without a charming smile. Of course the first trial showcases that he's actually a major BitchInSheepsClothing and actually a rather twisted person although even after this reveal he's still very affable.]]

*** Mahiru Koizumi can be bossy and critical of others but she's a genuinely helpful and good natured young woman with a desire to make others smile and is the TeamMom of the group

*** Nekomaru Nidai is a gentle giant who constantly looks after the group and gets along with everyone, befriending the very brash Akane Owari [[spoilers: he takes a rocket to the chest to save Akane, gets rebuilt as a robot and then fights Gundham to the death so they can save his friends which he loses but still manages to save everyone]]

* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'''s Tohno Shiki is a decent, compassionate guy. Don't fuck with him or he'll make you DeaderThanDead. Or for that matter, fuck him. Dude's a living aversion of GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex. His niceness was most likely a result of a traumatic incident where he almost died so now he ended up appreciating life more.

*** Makoto Naegi (the SHSL Hope) is the most kindhearted character and he can get along with everyone, including Celeste and Byakuya(who are very difficult to socialize with). Even some of the most inapproachable classmates can be befriended by him in free time events.

*** Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Though he can be bossy and overly critical at times, it's out of a [[NoSocialSkills complete lack of social skills]] than any ill will, and he always apologises if he thinks he's hurt someone's feelings. He tries hard to keep the group organized and even volunteers to share his "secret" first when Monokuma delivers the second motive.

*** Gonta is a gentleman who is willing to show kindess to pretty much everyone, even Kokichi, despite being tricked by him several times. He is so nice that [[spoiler:the students refuses to believe that he could commit murder at first.]]

** Lamiroir is from ''Apollo Justice'' is such a sweet woman even when she [[spoiler: had amnesia and was blind.]]

** Jeff Master from ''Investigations 2'' is also this. This man is extremely nice and is always in good spirits. It is heartbreaking [[spoiler: seeing him in jail and his hair turned white after a harsh interrogation courtesy of Manfred von Karma. It took nearly 20 years to finally get him out of jail but, when you think about, a nice guy like him was in jail for that long when he didn't do anything wrong at all.]]

*** Chiaki Nanami is very kind and good-natured, and [[spoiler: while she committed murder, it was an accident on her part and once she realizes it, she makes a HeroicSacrifice to protect the other students.]]

*** Kaito is a very caring and compassionate young man, willing to help and protect others. He is the only student initially still willing to reach out to Maki after [[spoiler: Kokichi outs her as the Ultimate Assassin.]]
*** Gonta is a gentleman who is willing to show kindest to pretty much everyone, even Kokichi, despite being tricked by him several times. He is so nice that [[spoiler:the students refuses to believe that he could commit murder at first.]]
*** Kaede is sweet, positive and courageous and [[BewareTheNiceOnes though she's not afraid to tell someone off when they annoy her]], she proves to be so nice and well-liked by the other students she essentially becomes TheLeader and Monokuma is forced to set up a timer ''demanding'' someone kill each other because of Kaede holding the group together. [[spoiler: The entire class are devastated when she dies and Kaito, Tenko and Gonta even tried to prevent the execution. Even in death, she continues to be a source of hope and encouragement to Shuichi, who vows to end the Killing Game in honor of her.]]

** Luna in ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' is a sweet, pacifistic girl. [[spoiler: It's not a trick, even though the game wants you to think so. In the AB game, she ''never'' chooses betray.]] [[spoiler: Pretty interesting too, considering that she's a GAULEM, and yet is so much more "human" than the rest of the participants.]]
** Diana from ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'' is kind, compassionate nurse. [[spoiler: Makes sense when you remember that Luna was based on her]].

*** Chiaki Nanami is very kind and good-natured, and [[spoiler: while she committed murder, it was a pure accident and once she realizes it, she made a HeroicSacrifice to protect the other students.]]

* Masayuki in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' is so nice that it unnerves some of his friends and classmates.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'''s Tohno Shiki is a decent, compassionate guy. Don't fuck with him or he'll make you DeaderThanDead. Or for that matter, fuck him. Dude's a living aversion of GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex. His niceness was most likely a result of a traumatic incident where he almost died so now he ended up appreciating life more.
** Shiki is more of an average guy then a real nice guy. Sure he'll risk his neck to rid of a killer if he feels its within his power (or if he's force to) and he'll put on a smile for you but in truth, he don't really care all that much for some strangers. For example: When he first heard of the murders his thought process was: Must suck for the victims; oh well, nothing I can do, on with life. He also admits when helping Arcueid that he's not really doing it to help the city, he's helping her because he wants to help her. Guess he's one of those "fake nice guys" the guy above was talking about; definitely a nice guy but not a saint.
*** On the other hand, regarding strangers, when he [[spoiler:was facing Nrvnqsr Chaos, witnessing the latter interrupting their confrontation to murder and devour a bypasser who had nothing to do with anything, for no reason whatsoever, was what got him out of being afraid of the monster, and replaced the fear with hatred and anger]].
** On the female end Hisui is the only Heroine who doesn't actively do anything that endangers Shiki's health mental or otherwise jokes about her bad cooking aside.
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s Emiya Shirou is considerate, [[StayInTheKitchen slightly overprotective]], thoughtful and an ''[[FoodPorn amazing]]'' SupremeChef.
* In ''VisualNovel/LuxPain'', out of all of Atsuki's new friends, Ryo fits the definition and is well known for being the nicest guy at Kisaragi High School because he's so helpful. Of course, he's a character that [[BewaretheNiceOnes you don't want to anger]] but his annoyance is always justified. And of course, his nice guy attitude is what attracts the ladies and his [[HoYay best friend]] [[BrokenAce Hibiki]]. He's also the TeamDad of the group.
** Yayoi is the nice girl of the group always worrying about everyone's safety and like Ryo, she's the TeamMom of the group.
* Hideyoshi of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' is... pretty normal compared to [[BigScrewedUpFamily the rest of the cast]]. And nice too, seeing how he's always trying to calm down fights, though he ended up [[SatelliteCharacter having no real development during the series]] to the [[EnsembleDarkHorse chagrin of many fans.]]
** According to Episode 1, all he wanted was a family that would accept him because his died during World War II.
** To further shove this in your face, he has one of ''the lowest survival rates in the series,'' while his wife [[RichBitch Eva]] ([[PetTheDog who adores him]]) has the ''highest'' and [[spoiler:is one of the few who escapes from Rokkenjima.]] [[MoralityChain And after he kicks it, she horribly snaps. EVERY time.]]. Owwwwch.
** Played with for George as he used to be one in the most unflattering sense possible, which Shannon teases him about even now. He's now closer to the genuine article, though probably not as much as he thinks; some of the things he says and does, like his inner thoughts about how he enjoys "playing with Shannon's feelings" as much as he likes and his proposal to her in EP 1 ("Accept this ring, that's an order"), still tend to come across as condescending.

* ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' Trilogy:

In the AB game, she ''never'' chooses betray.]] [[spoiler: Pretty interesting too, considering that she's a GAULEM, and yet is so much more "human" than the rest of the participants.]]

** Carlos from the same game. Being a firefighter he's always trying to help others and find peaceful solutions whenever possible.
* Riki of ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', in complete contrast to every other Creator/KeyVisualArts protagonist, all various levels of JerkWithAHeartOfGold. While Riki can be quite snarky [[FirstPersonSnarker mentally]] and often plays StraightMan to characters he's sure can take it, he's extremely kind and unjudgmental and will always do his best to help anyone who needs it.
