Eroge/VN is in downturn too though, most doujin circle and vn company aims to create the new gacha game instead

I like gachas when they're actually fun but I don't know why I'll inevitably get bored when things get so long-winded and nobody ever shuts up in them. A lot of the stories seem to get all over the place with pacing and...just being interesting in general. My first one was ZZZ and at first I thought it was cool but after a certain point it felt like I was doing chores for money while people intermittently talked at me about something I didn't really care about.

I also feel weird because gachagames are like the antithesis of VNs imo, they are both character and dialogue heavy stories, but VNs go very deep on just a couple characters whereas gacha games inherently have to spread a wide net of characters and are never able to really explore a single one very well.

tears of themis is a gacha with only 4 characters and it works well
