They're now 19-20...maybe reading here isn't popular. Maybe they had high expectations of the game, maybe they don't put an effort to be interested at all.
My first VN experience was the same, I find it troublesome that they have to describe every detail, but I put effort into getting interested in it then the rest of the process comes naturally. You begin being interested in more VN's and read more genres too. You then realize you opened your mind for this type of game.
I think that's a gem found in every VN players, they manage to appreciate what this game has to offer.
