If you don't want to wait for production, and don't need graphics, go read a novel. You know, a book. Do you see your fallacy?
This is NOT a novel. This is a VISUAL novel. VNs are a separate medium that has evolved far beyond mere novels with illustrations. The combination of quality animation and quality story is what makes the core appeal of a VN. Neglect either, and you end up with a plain old novel, or plain old porn.
