      Use Lutris and install all required languages, fonts, and regions through winetricks. I had it set up once, I gotta do it again at some point.

      There’s an article out there in the wild somewhere. Just search for “how to play visual novels in Lutris”. Iirc, I think GE Wine runs VNs better than proton. I enjoy psychological horror VNs and busted ass getting them to work, but they do work and well once you have it set up.

      Use one prefix for all your Japanese games so that you don’t have to do it every time. Then just select that prefix any time you’re installing or playing a VN/Japanese game. You can change region locale through Lutris configuration without the need for a third party app, too.
