You haven’t read a lot of good novels if you need all this audiovisual support to paint a world with such depth in your head.
This is such a needlessly obtuse and petty take that I stopped here. I will not have any interesting conversation with someone so bent out of shape that other people had a better experience than they did. If you just don’t like a “reading game” just end it there and go play CoD or something.

There are some of us with no inner vision who do enjoy reading too though, you know?
Not all of us have the ability to see what we read, i.e., aphantasia.
I love to read though. All day long if I can. Also in the top 0.1% when it comes to reading speed. Guess why? Nothing wrong with my comprehension either.

I was being cynical, to make the point that looking down on mainstream gamers for not liking visual novels could be doubled down by taking the same stance comparing visual novels vs reading plain text.
I play visual novels all the time, and the point you make is very valid.
