When it comes to visual novels, there\u2019s really only two ways you can layout the screen. The first is to have the text cover the full screen, with the background and characters behind it. This layout is used in games like Fate\/Stay Night and Higurashi. The advantage is that you can fit a lot text on screen at once.
