I'm in two minds as to what I think about this.
On the one hand, the direction of the overall plot was interesting and a part of me would love to see where it ends up going - regardless of the medium.
On the other, I got into this because of it being a (A)VN. And part of what made it an interesting story, for me at least, was the relationships aspects. In all of their harem/smut glory.
Aspects of some of the characters and events just wouldn't work as well if you toned down or removed the sexual aspects.
Ultimately, though, for me it'll boil down to a combination of how much gets toned down and whether there's an audiobook version. I very rarely read regular books anymore. I listen to audiobooks on my commute and play games & VNs during my downtime.
A good story and a good narrator and I'll continue to follow the story.
(Even if, to me, it'll never quite beat experiencing it in VN/game form. That's what hooked me in the first place.)
