i still play fully voiced vns, but i'm completely fine with unvoiced ones too since i play a lot of indie vns on itch.io. as long as the story is good, that's what really matters to me.

It doesn't matter to me whether a game has voice acting. I know several good VNs that don't. So, for me, the most important thing is that the story is interesting and leaves a strong impression. Besides, I'm already "tired" of some VAs and sometimes turn off the voice acting for their characters lol

Well, of course I prefer it when a game is fully voiced, since I can understand some Japanese by ear to a certain extent. But when there's no voice acting and my translator messes up, it really slows things down.

Personally, if I ever come across non-voiced VNs, I'd rather read book with illustrations each page LOL (particularly Phantom of the Opera Illustrated classic if I really need that 'imagining guide' at least I'd know I'm on the right track). But then again, I would also see myself listening to audio books (much engaging!). So to just completely summarize the blabber, I prefer the Visual Novel to be package-wise (voiced as well), besides, it's among the essence that create the Visual Novels' existence (particularly their appeal ;)

I'm especially looking forward to the story and the artwork, so I don't really mind whether the game has voice acting or not.
Having voice acting definitely makes the experience feel more immersive and brings the game to life, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor for me when it comes to buying a game.
 
I can understand 70-80% Japanese, so I don't need to rely on dubbing to understand the plot.

I don't have much requirements for voice actors. As long as the script and characters are enough to attract me, I can accept it without sound.
 
I've been reading unvoiced VNs for a looong time, before I even discovered the ones with voice acting, haha
As someone who plays PC98 eroge and doujin games every so often, I got used to unvoiced and don't mind it. I do care if the BGM is bad though (if it is, I'll play the game muted lol)

Since my first otoge were browser games with no dubbing at all, I usually prefer no voice acting to partial, sometimes it gets really repetitive and annoying! ;b
 
I like playing fully voiced games, it makes the experience more immersive
But playing without voice acting is quite good too. I truly like playing games in my temp because I would not need to wait for the phrase to be voiced until reading next line
When I only started playing otome games, I didn't even know that having voice acting was available.
Then came the time when I played only fully-voiced games. And didn't really like playing non-voiced ones.
Nowadays I don't have strong preference to the availability of the voice acting. So as long as I like the premise, I would play the game
