Same. Good enough art can make me even enjoy vanilla. But it's so rare and always overshadowed by all the glorious rape art.I agree about not caring about vanilla. With a few exceptions, I don't either. I only play vanilla nukige if I really like the artstyle, and that's pretty rare given the artstyles more common in vanilla japanese porn.
But usually games that are focused on characters and story (even if it's just romance with the characters) emphasize that aspect in the marketing anyway, not the porn. Both games nam654 mentioned are like that. Even if you throw their names into google images or something the first handful of screenshots won't show any porn, just character interaction stuff. The marketing campaign for these make it clear there are h-scenes but give as much or more focus in story scenes and stuff like that. I agree if a game advertizes itself as having lots of sex and then it's two or three scenes they deserve to get shit for it, but that isn't what usually happens with Japanese eroge, they convey well how much sex there is, probably to avoid people expecting high sexual content buy their game by mistake, or vice-versa, someone who's more interested in character and Slice of Life shenanigans end up buying a game about sex.
Fair enough.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that you can divide them into eroge and nukige, but in the end they're both still H-games. Has H, therefore it's an H-game. At least in my eyes. So even if you want to focus more on the story you shouldn't let the H suffer for it. Otherwise why is it even there? Screw the well-written story if the moment they finally bang is ruined by a poor H-scene. Should've just made a non-H VN then.
But hey, as long as the game makes it clear that it wants me to get invested into the story and not the H, then we're good. I'll just avoid it and problem solved. XD
