Questions about VNs and Story-Focused games

From Visual Novels with only one storyline and no decisions to games with deep gameplay but the story is related in a visual novel style. Mostly for people that don't play that much these games, and even nothing at all. I'm not going to change drastically the game I'm working just that people that dislike visual novels play it, that would be ridiculous, this is more to understand some stuff.

If you don't like games without 'real' gameplay, but you have played visual novels, what were the reasons?

For the visual novels that you find boring, what parts of it you would modify to be able to enjoy it? (without altering the genre completely)

If you are interested in a visual novel game,  what are you limits? Like, you will read a VN with 1 million of words? (there are several)

Your favorite visual novel?

Thanks for the future answers!

I have played dozens if not hundreds of visual novels. The only kind I dislike are kinetic novels with no choices. I dislike them because being able to branch the game and have an effect as well as making the main character more mine is a huge part of why I like the genre. I have played visual novels that last five minutes up to those that last a couple dozen hours and I have enjoyed both. I don't care whether a game is short or long so long as it is good. It's tough to list one favourite visual novel but some of my favourites would be The Falconers: Moonlight, Buried: An Interactive Story,  The Mind’s Eclipse, Emily is Away,  and The Last Birdling.

I was amused when mentioned Emily is Away, but thinking a bit more, I guess it fits the visual novel genre. Thanks for sharing your opinions
