Visual novels are for people who can't read real books or play real games.

The music is nice, but that the average VN is 50 hours, which probably is due to the voice acting, is dumb

They have a way of presenting a certain meta which I enjoy but it is a niche within a niche and just like /lit/ with self-published books, you can't discuss indie VNs without immediate unwarranted hostility.

This. The Japs read comics because of low adult literacy. Japanese is hard to read, even for Japanese people.
Westerners read comics for the same reason, but they don't have the same excuse.
