Did you ever wrote a VN/Otome? (or thought about writing one?)

I've made a somewhat linear novel kinda game for my yumeship before, part i enjoy the most are making the script, drawing was tedious but once the finished product is there it's satisfying, choosing music was also fun, i think the most tedious part is putting it all together into one comprehensive game (i used renpy, it's said to be mostly beginner friendly but i still need some learning curve around it) overall it was fun seeing my idea turned into a game

Though i don't think i would go full into an making an original VN on my own cuz i seems to only have the motivation when it comes to my yumeship XD I don't have any original idea not tied to my yumeship that i want to turn into a game....

There was a time when I was passionate—someday! And that day was yesterday. Haha.

I spent the entire day writing, completely losing track of time, while drawing in little illustrations along the way. My notebook got so packed that by the end, my hand couldn't keep up with my brain anymore!

You have no idea how happy I felt, opening up my little laptop and typing away at the keyboard.

And the emotion I'm feeling now is: why did I only write this much?!

I used to have a VN writing project with my team but unfortunately we have to cancel it because of ideal conflict. I really want to write my own VN too but I don't think myself alone can do it properly...

I've definitely fantasized about it a lot, but the actual work is really overwhelming.
My biggest problem has to be music- i know nothing about making it, and I'm afraid of using pre-made free music from others, scared that i might accidentally use something i don't have permission for.
Then there's art... it's not as bad as music, but my art is definitely not on the level i would be happy with. It's not stickman-level bad, but when i look at my finished products they just don't seem worthy enough of an actual game- more worthy as sketches or unfinished drawings. (Anatomy, lighting and lineart are so mean to me...) and I've seen so many games with breathtaking art that it feels wrong to release something if my art isn't at least slightly nice to look at.
And finally the writing and the story. I feel like i won't be satisfied if it's not something gripping and new, at least needs there to be something original about it- which is harder than it looks, since most plots i like have already been thought of. As for the actual writing, i guess it's not too terrible? My English isn't the greatest, but I'm sure i can do well with a dictionary and a spell checker. (And of course searching for fancy words that aren't too out there- the text needs to be at least a little pretty to the eyes)
The designs, ui, and coding might be the easiest part for me, since you can easily find solutions online or ask for help.
So it's mostly perfectionism and creativity and art skills holding me back, but i feel like i will make something one day- maybe a small little indie game that I'll feel satisfied with.
