# VisualNovel Dataset Metadata

This dataset repository contains metadata for [OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset).

- [`maker_game_vnid.tsv`](maker_game_vnid.tsv): Contains the mapping of maker names, game names, and their corresponding Visual Novel IDs in [vndb](https://vndb.org/). Here the column `maker` and `game` correspond to `{maker}_{game}` in the file names of 7z (or directory names of extracted files) in [OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset).
- [`voice_actor_info.tsv`](voice_actor_info.tsv) maps `maker game character` to `vndb char id`, `vndb voice actor id`, and `voice actor normalized name`. Here `{maker}_{game}/{charname}` corresponds to the file structure of [OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OOPPEENN/VisualNovel_Dataset).

```tsv
maker	game	charname	char_in_vndb	char_id	va_in_vndb	staff_id	va_normalized_name
0verflow	Cross Days	みなみ	True	c1605	True	s18	栗林 みな実
0verflow	Cross Days	七海	True	c1601	True	s287	たかはし 智秋
0verflow	Cross Days	世界	True	c1597	True	s13	河原木 志穂
0verflow	Cross Days	乙女	True	c1603	True	s452	永見 はるか
```

Here `va_normalized_name` is the page title name of the corresponding vndb id page, or the original name if not found in vndb.

## Note (for voice actors info)

- **`va_normalized_name` is not checked to be unique (colision may happen)**, so you should use `vndb_staff_id` as an identifier.
- For char or voice actors not in vndb database, its `char_id` and `staff_id` is empty
  - For e.g. speaker verification, you may remove rows with `staff_id` empty (equivalently `va_in_vndb` `False`), or manually add unique id to such rows
- Some multiple `charname` corresponds to the same charactor (e.g. it occurs when the same charactor is called in many ways)
- I did NOT confirm and confident whether a voice actor not in vndb is actually not in vndb, i.e. whether the name is an alias of some voice actor in vndb.
- Also since I manually searched voice actors especially when `char_in_vndb` is False, so it may contain some errors. If you fond some error, please tell me.
- Currently I'm manually updating [`voice_actor_info.tsv`](voice_actor_info.tsv) when I have time, so will be ocasionally updated

## Some notes on the dataset which you may find useful

### Overlapping (duplicate) entries
- The content of `SMEE_Making Lovers Geki Icha After Story Vol.01` is the same as `SMEE_HajiLove -Making  Lovers- Mini Fandisk Vol.01 Sakurako & Yui Hen`, so overlapping (duplicate)
- The content of `SMEE_Making Lovers Geki Icha After Story Vol.02` is the same as `SMEE_HajiLove -Making  Lovers- Mini Fandisk Vol.02 Kouta & Hatsuho Hen`, so overlapping (duplicate)
- The content of `Lose_Maitetsu` is (maybe) completely included in `Lose_Maitetsu - Last Run!!`, so the files in `Lose_Maitetsu` are overlapping, hence you only need the latter

### Wrong name entries
- The content of `Lump of Sugar_Rurizakura` is actually not `瑠璃櫻`、but it is `世界と世界の真ん中で` of the same maker, i.e. `Lump of Sugar_Sekai to Sekai no Mannaka de` (no overlapping since the latter is not in the list)
