Visual novels are dying which is not based, VN's are really good imo

I recently got into playing cafe stella and it's a great VN imo

Anyone every played a VN? And if so do you enjoy playing them? For me it's been easy to immerse myself into them
I don't know much about visual novels, I just know that the genre is filled with a lot of erotic/NSFW VNs and gooners.

I enjoy visual novels but prefer to read books. The genre is severely under-utilized. You either get 'le big, busty housewives of coomerville' or some fringe, ultra-convoluted anime plot hatched by a small group of autistic, Japanese basement-dwellers. For the former you might as well just indulge in a generative experience with something like SillyTavern, RisuAI or MikuGG; the latter is where the genre shines.

For those who enjoy grand, ambitious stories: 07th Expansion, Fate and Zero Escape come to mind. Steins;Gate is my favorite VN as it boasts a high-tier selection of waifus alongside a wonderfully crafted sci-fi narrative, though it lays it on quite thickly with references to weeb culture (It's set in Akihabara, the electronic and otaku capital of Japan).
