i have been exhaling through my nose for 3 minutes now, this is very funny.
like really, wow… like - the idea of just nothing of note happening in a visual novel… thats good.
not even like - going into the whole the world is awful and boring angle, but just genuinely being about completely normal people going to work, sometimes going out to some restaurant and maybe some other time reading a book-…
like - unrealistically normal, u kno?
this is genuinely the funniest thing i have seen in multiple months
Back in the day of DOS and such, there were multiple ‘economic simulator’ games about the daily loop of a typical abstract worker. With the actions like ‘go to work’, ‘pay rent’, ‘go see a movie’, etc. With the management of money, hunger, and boredom, and usually with a prospect of getting a better apartment and a better-paying job. These games were very simple, but surprisingly widespread.
Reverse Isekai! A battle hardened warrior wakes up to find himself in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He quickly learns that the skills of an adventurer don’t translate into a profession so easily here and tries to make the best of this new life.
Hiro Protagonist, slayer of the Demon King, savior of Kvatch, rescuer of princess What’s her Name.
Depending on their fighting skills, they could have a relatively easy time as martial arts teachers (martial art = anything fighting related). Their troubles would arise from the whole “why does society work like this?”

Isn’t this basically The SIMS?
Kinda, but much simplified so you could run it on a glorified calculator. See e.g. ‘Dope Wars’, which was ported to actual TI-82.
Conspicuously mundane life as a new genre of psychological thriller
Or just mundane as an isekai for people lacking such normalcy around them.
