I have some nice plot ideas but my art is pretty mediocre. Should I try and make a VN anyway?

If I were you I'd use sprites ripped from other games as place holders, and if people would like it you could probably get someone who'll be willing to draw original ones for you.

Katawa Shoujo is discussed to death, is laden with drama and consequently progressed much slower than how it should've been. Asking Anonymous to discuss the merits of KS is like asking a physicist to discuss the merits of Almagest.

No. It's terrible! The only reason KS got this much attention is being associated with 4chan. Remove 4chan and you got a mediocre crap. They spammed 4chan pretending to be anon days before they released their shitty gaem.
