How does that change my first and most important statement ?
Visual novel or not the game should have more interaction and possible actions into it, otherwise it's not a game period that's a fact tha tnto debatable at best it's just a book and even then some books have more interaction and actions build into them so kinda ironic.
Now i won't say anything on the visual novel genra cause i bet you see where im coming from and personnaly i dont like trash marketing bs wich allow mediocre products to be normalised and even worst justifying them.
Reading is great but playing or watching is something completly different.
