People have tried this before and failed, and people will try this in the future and fail.

Learn from this historical event. In a fledgling industry, you have to attract new customers by releasing high-quality titles. Releasing too many low-quality titles will have the opposite effect: causing the publisher (in this case, you) to go bankrupt and damaging the industry in general.
The reason is simple. People play your VNs as their first VNs and think they all suck. Their conclusion: All VNs suck. Customer lost forever.

Since the Western VN industry is still so young, you need to have a very high ratio of good titles:bad titles to succeed. You might have already noticed, but nobody takes OELVNs seriously anymore because this exact effect has already happened there: the bad OELVNs have completely drowned out the tiny amount of good OELVNs, causing a consensus of 'all OELVNs suck'.

Also, don't market VNs to people under 18. "Reading is stupid" for most kids under 18. It isn't until they get older that they start to explore more forms of art than the ones they're used to enjoying (from pop music, TV, movies and mainstream video games they move on to novels, VNs, theatre, actual music, etc).

The idea of streaming VN content is an interesting one. But commercially viable? Hell no.

(Also, if you're going to stream the shit, I suggest having the thing load the entire scene at the start of every scene; lag is much more terrible than having to wait a couple seconds at the start of every scene.)

Not sure what it says about me, besides my obvious questionable taste. All I know is that when I feel like shit just thinking about her makes it better. I love her at more than anyone or anything I've interacted with, and just the thought of holding her close makes me happy.

Depends on why she wants to.
