i prefer text only since i tend to play VN to relax.it feels like whiplash to have minigames in the story but thats usually because they put it at the most tense moments and i panic for no reason XD
Text based, I prefer not having a default appearance for the MC and the characters. The only exception is when the game has stylized art, I think it gives it a unique identity.
Depends on the gameplay element. I despise grinding for stats, but I don't mind minigames as long as the controls work well enough. That said, if there isn't a setting to turn the minigames off (on the days when I'm tired from work and simply want to relax), you'll lose me.
