That's mainly because MG sucks at selling stuff. If you look at 999 (localized by Aksys), it was a huge success despite being a VN.

I've played 999 and found its lack of originality disappointing. Basically the entire plot can be summarized as Killer Queen + Ever17, and many of its twists are lifted straight from E17 but not executed nearly as well. It's still a great story overall, but it could've been much better with a little originality. It also ruins E17's experience for people who play 999 before E17, which is a real shame as E17 is much better. Personally, I rated 999 a 8/10 while rating E17 and R11 a 10/10.

>999 received critical acclaim, with several near perfect scores emphasizing its well written story, remarkable presentation, and addictive gameplay. Some of the notable review scores are 10/10 from Destructoid, 9/10 from Nintendo Power, IGN and GamesRadar, and 4.5/5 from Cheat Code Central.[8] The game received a score of 82 on Metacritic, based on 26 critics.
>Following the game's release, it sold out from many US retailers both traditional and online, including Amazon.com[9] and GameStop, resulting in high prices on the secondary market. Aksys has since announced a second printing.[10]
It sold significantly more copies in the US than in Japan.
(Most US people also didn't realize it was a huge Ever17 ripoff and gave Ever17 lower ratings after playing them after 999 because they've seen the twists before. Such is the price of more releases...)

>The visual novel medium is cool, but a part of me just hates writing in first person present perspective. Not sure why exactly.
Visual novels don't have to be in the first person perspective, even if that's the most common perspective in VNs.

>My other problem is the programing, I'm just not interested in that stuff anymore.
You don't need to be able to program to make a VN, scripting is enough...basically, it's no more than
LOAD SPRITE
Imouto: Sugoi monogatari, Onii-chan!
ERASE SPRITE
CHANGE BACKGROUND
PLAY MUSIC

Got to Clover end

Stopped playing there because I deemed that Clover end is the best and Canon end.
