How much do you care about gameplay and game systems? Combat? Development? Stats? If you care about these things, and you'd like, please let me know your recommends.
I like visual novels, including kinetic novels, so I wouldn't say it's "important" to me in what I'd enjoy, but I really do wish there was more stuff with gameplay for a female audience, otome or not. Stuff like P3P. Guys get as much cool stuff as they want:/
In fact, the gameplay and combat system of the game are not important to me. If the game has complex systems, it may even affect my gaming experience more. I enjoy playing visual novel games with pure text stories. This is great for me!
If the gameplay and story are well integrated, that's great, of course.
To be honest, if I'm just watching the story, I usually just leave it playing as background music.
