Overall, I highly recommend that method. Visual novels are pretty good for improving reading and building up basic vocab. If you're a beginner, there are tons of visual novels that have mostly slice of life scenes and therefore easier vocabulary and grammar than your typical actual novel. Of course, there are some really hard visual novels as well, but obviously you don't start with those. However, even those are probably easier than many traditional novels.

As that guy brings up in the video, like 99% of them have 18+ content, but if that's an issue you can just skip right through it and not lose anything in the vast majority of VNs.
