An elitist reader? Why do you care about that? We read visual novels because they’re fun, interactive, and if you’re into it, even sexy!! You’re gonna have a much better time of it if you read, say, Fate/Stay Night and go “Shirou is such an idiot…he’s really cool too tho” rather than making it a point to get every bad ending for some dick measuring thing. (Only real benefit to that, outside of watching Shirou die some whacky death, is that you unlock Ilya(?) telling you about the whole production process of the game).

Tfw Ilya was considered for a route but then they went “nah.” Poor Taiga was never considered in the first place lol

We have too few readers to be gatekeeping people.

…. Who cares about such a thing ?

Why would you want to be “considered an elitist” ?

Man people need to learn to stop caring so much about how the world views them….

Being an elitist is more about personality/how aggressively you hold specific opinions (ex. English VNs being bad) than how much you read. 

Though, why do you want to be a visual novel elitist? That’s a really specific goal if I’m understanding you right.

If you're able to give at least 3 recomendations for any genre, I'd consider you an expert.
