The Visual Novel Database (often abbreviated as VNDB) is a community-run English-language information database about visual novels. Like its Japanese counterpart ErogameScape, VNDB not only allows for users to view and edit various pieces of information about a visual novel, but also vote on and review visual novels. It also allows users to add visual novels to a personal list with various labels.
