because they're games that you play on your video monitor
no gameplay

The less game play, the better
Games are gold if they have almost no user input
Is there much else to call them? Unless we just identify Visual Novels as an independent form of entertainment, you can't generalize it as very many things.

Because the gameplay is played on your dick
fucking retard
If you read a choose your own adventure book on a Kindle are you playing a videogame?
Branching paths but yeah, they aren't very interactive.

Not quite the same, but that's about as debatable.

Some are and some aren't.
A "game" is a challenge you can either win or lose. A novel is a passive experience you sit back and enjoy.
Some visual novels include challenges and game-over conditions. Those visual novels are also games.
Some visual novels are just books you click on with character portraits that pop up during dialogue. Those aren't games, they're strictly narrative only.
