Well, you certainly did an epic job of that! I wish I knew how to animate stuff like that as well because it was so effective! I have no clue where to even begin though, and I'm not an artist, so I likely wouldn't stand a chance anyways >.< haha.
And I'm glad you think so :3 I think it was just one moody person >.< Stuff like that used to make me wonder if I'd done something wrong, but I've come to learn that there are just random people out there who think their opinion is law when that isn't the case, haha. I mean, I would say it definitely felt like a VN. It had backgrounds, sprites, choices, and a text box displaying all of the dialogue. It was just that I chose to present it as though it were a sorta roleplay scenario so no narrator was required.
