Philosophy

Contrary to AGTH, ITH and Visual Novel Reader, Hook Any Text provides a text hooking solution that does not depend on the underlying game engine of the target game. The program does not assume that the user will use it for a specific set of Visual Novels, created on a specific set of engines. Actually, HAT is designed to work with games that contains textual data, not only visual novels.

This is the reason why the hooking part is pretty much left to the user. Indeed, HAT was created to provide a fallback text hooking method for when other tools do not work. That is not to say that HAT will not evolve to be as easy to use as its competitors in the future, but the basic hooking method provided from the beginning will always be a possible option for the user. This is a complete change of paradigm from the previously existing methods.
