I see it more as jrpg or tactical rpg but apperantly some here post about it, so i play currently a hundred line: last defense academy. But i'm just a few days after the demo, so i think day 11 or 12. While i like the story so fast i expect it to keep getting more excited the more days i play.

Considering how much activity we have here I don't think anyone is going to mind talking about VN adjacent titles (I sure don't). As long as game has a decent ratio of VN elements it should be fine.

Some genres go hand in hand. Sometimes a game doesn't belong to just one genreand maybe such games are the reason to look into in this case VNs. I haven't played to much VNs, but since I played Digimon Survive, which is more VN than tactical rpg, I occasionally play a VN or at least look at upcoming

Totally! If you want to be really "safe" when deciding on whether to post about something you can just use the visual novel database as a guide. Otherwise just use your judgement and if anyone objects we can discuss things on case by case basis - there's no need to get too serious about that stuff at the moment.

hundred line definitely is closer to VN than strategy game, especially since you can skip practically all of the gameplay sequences after a certain point^^
