# Visual Novel Dataset
This dataset contains parsed Visual Novel scripts for training language models. The dataset consists of approximately 60 million tokens of parsed scripts.
## Dataset Structure
The dataset follows a general structure for visual novel scripts:
- Dialogue lines: Dialogue lines are formatted with the speaker's name followed by a colon, and the dialogue itself enclosed in quotes. For example:
```
John: "Hello, how are you?"
```
- Actions and narration: Actions and narration within the Visual Novel scripts are often enclosed in asterisks, but it's important to note that not all visual novels follow this convention. Actions and narration provide descriptions of character movements, background settings, or other narrative elements.
```
*John looked around the room, searching for answers.*
```
## Contents
- `visual-novels.txt`: This file contains all the parsed VNs concatenated within a single plaintext file. Each entry is separated with this string:
```
[ - title - {visual-novel-title-1.txt} ]
```
- `VNDB/`: This directory contains `.json` files that contain VNDB IDs for the corresponding VN's characters. Does not include unparsed VNs.
- `Archives/visual-novels-parsed.tar.zst`: This archive contains the parsed VNs but with each script in a separate text file (i.e. not concatenated).
- `Archives/visual-novels-unparsed.tar.zst`: This archive contains all the unparsed VNs along with the original script for the currently parsed VNs.
## Usage
You can utilize this dataset to train language models, particularly for tasks related to natural language processing and text generation. By leveraging the parsed visual novel scripts, you can train models to understand dialogue structures and generate coherent responses. Additionally, the inclusion of the unparsed scripts allows for further analysis and processing.
