Exactly. that is literally the whole point of an adult GAME.Self-insertion is key and is always guaranteed because of how a visual novel game is structured. Even if it is kinetic, because it needs the involvement of a third party to enable the actions of the main character, as this game has "choices" that are enabled by your action. It's way different from a book that's independent of anything you do.
It doesn't mean an ego trip either, as if you have choices to make, you will rationalize the best choice or what you want to see, and that's inserting yourself.
I never self insert in books.
I never self insert in a movie.
I never self insert when I am on pornhub watching a porno.
But in a GAME you are given a meat puppet to wear and guide through life as you make choices. Literally the whole point of the entire medium is the self insert experience.
