Quite frankly i find gameplay elements distracting (especially when they are as half-baked as in many mobile games (๑-﹏-๑)) but i don't really mind minigames! I do prefer just reading tho :3
Ive thought about it and tried doing it!! But my adhd allows me to have a project to work on for like three days and then my brain gets tired + i am so bad at coding that i cant even use renpy (´;ω;`) but i do plan on making some visual novels AND releasing them!!!
I might not fw the humor in or the tropes used sometimes, but if a vn looks interesting i will give it a chance :3 plus western otome games are more likely to have poc or lgbt rep and i really like that
