Actually, that's the strategy the third girl's more or less employed (with constant physical contact to boot), and since she's also the childhood friend the two alliance girls area really at a disadvantage. The rumor idea is interesting though.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now and assume you're not a troll (which is unlikely because it's /jp/):

If you're referring to things like trying to imitate the school life of a Japanese student or including Japanese culture references, I agree with you, it's silly and somewhat pointless.

If you're not: I know what got me into VNs was the interactive story and interesting characters. While I may not be excited by moe, what I saw in many of these VNs was something generally superior to the English stories I had read. I also liked the 'chose your own adventure' horror stories back in the 90's (that I'm currently forgetting the name of).
There really isn't anything like a VN in English culture, so there isn't really anything to pull on for their creation. Also, English stories get plagued by a small cast of mostly generic characters (much like all the 'main moe' found in Japanese works), and the character archetypes are a bit of a refreshing break.
Finally, the western culture I know is so 'anti-sex' that it's annoying. Games like the Rance series are hilarious and entertaining, but there's no acceptable outlet for that in the western world. So, we're stuck to either the Japanese counterparts or being angry at a system which is too controlled by religion to change.

So depth is 'I'm a lazy ass who sacrifices her friends for greed'? or "I'm an emo teen who lets myself be controlled by my mom?" or "I love you but can't say it or else I die?"

Go back to High School. There's enough of that there to satisfy you for a lifetime,

All Sharin did was reaffirm that absolute power corrupts absolutely, it just did it via angst and a semi-kinetic novel. That wasn't special nor interesting.
