Yeah because when 'normal' people want to see hentai they load up their favorite 'well written' VN and sit through 90 mins of text scrolling to get a static picture of a milquetoast anime girl with a censor patch.
They sure as shit don't load up HuniePop especially since the game just gives you the pictures anyway since they know no one actually wants to play a game genre that mobile developers do because it's easy. With a visual novel, be it one with sex or without, actually makes an attempt to have a story to tell.
The rub is most games you're thinking of don't make you wait 90 minutes because it's an eroge and the porn comes first to the plot. It takes less effort to see a sex scene in something like Starless than it does to see one sext in HuniePop.
Huniepop was funny and had a lot of pop culture references which made it accessible to non VN players and the dialogue was perfectly absurd enough for mildly funny youtubers to riff on.
If this is the metric for quality than bottom of the barrel shovelware should be on top ten lists every year.
You can turn up your nose and scoff at the common man playing a match game with some dumb jokes and charming presentation and play your pointlessly brooding 'deeply complex narrative' innocent grey Cartaga sequels and feel like your libido is more sophisticated though.
This statement would work better if you would pick a visual novel I like. There's plenty of actually good and well written visual novels out there that don't have a single sex scene. There's plenty of decently written visual novels that
do have sex scenes at the end. It's not about sophistication. HuniePop is a boring game where the 'reward' isn't worth the effort.
