I strongly disagree. It's what I play most, what I prefer to work on, and really the only ones that even qualify as a 'game'.
It is the freedom to do what stories you want, what characters you want, and also usually includes repeatable sex stuff. No need for a gallery, no need to find the right save to go back and watch your favorite scenes, just go do it again. You feel like you are actually part of the world, not just watching/reading.
What if I love a character and want to visit them more? What if I dislike one of them and don't want to deal with them (or in some cases even see them naked)? What if I am not in the mood to deal with story, I just want to have fun with someone? The idea of a sandbox is to create an interactable world, not just tell a story.
To me, the worst tag on the site is 'kinetic novel', that isn't even a game, I can't play them. There is nothing you can repeat, nothing you can skip if you don't like it, nothing to do but hold ctrl until you see a boob, it's just not worth it. Absolutely the most boring shit in the world. If I just wanted to watch porn or read a book, I would do that, and not have to keep clicking space for no reason. Just let it play in the background and ignore it like all other shows or movies I end up "watching". It's too boring for words. If it is not interactive, I have less than no interest. I would rather work, at least that feels productive.
I want to actually play games, not just just sit and read. I want to feel like I am part of the story, like I am in the world, doing things and making a difference, rather than someone on the outside looking in.
