I'm surprised by the amount of dislike there is for VN games, especially in a thread for a Fujino game when he is heavily related to the Fate Franchise, although I guess most fans of the series haven't necessarily played the visual novel.
Some of the best games in the genre of NTR are visual novels, with titles like Ochiru Hitozuma
https://f95zone.to/threads/2571/, or titles from this developer
https://f95zone.to/threads/saving-mrs-hinako-2024-03-11-studio-pork.84959/.
Even beyond regular Japanese VNs, most of the decent or great NTR games from western developers are VNs as well, like Promise Better Left Unkept
https://f95zone.to/threads/98719/ or anything that the developer of
https://f95zone.to/threads/turning-the-page-v0-28-0-azienda.131246/ makes.
I feel like NTR is a genre that works better in a medium with a lot of text, allowing the creator to deepen the player's empathy and sympathy towards the person getting cucked, to showcase the bond between the couple that will be broken, and to create a sensible Heroine where her falls makes sense from a character perspective.
Of course, Fujino is best suited to continue making games as he has been doing all along, as I have many doubts about his abilities as a writer in a visual novel like game where his skills would be put into much more scrutiny than some random RPG parody, but it's not like Fujino's work is much of a game at the end of the day.
Most of his works are basically a walking simulator with a small, meaningless puzzle thrown in the middle to pad the game time.
SAO as Fujino's current Magnus Opus, has had more gameplay than any of his previous titles but even then it something that the player could accomplish by mindlessly pressing the attack button, the Little Buster Visual Novel with it's unbeatable Baseball minigame was more of a ""real"" game than this has ever been.
And I don’t particularly think that is a bad thing, between having practically no gameplay at all and havign to suffer through an slow and uninteresting gameplay like a lot of NTR rpgs where you need to grind for hours to kills some meaningless mobs, Fujino making a walking simulator with added porn is much more preferable to me.
Perhaps some people don't enjoy VNs, just like some don't like reading books, and that's fine. But I don't think "reading bores me" is much of a valid criticism to the medium.
Tldr: Much like Suguha, VNs are the GOAT.
