I disagree.
These games, like literature or films, tell a story, which doesn't necessarily have to end well for the protagonist(s).
The underdog story that is so common in videogames, where the MC is a nobody, and little by little works their way up until they have the power, money and abilities to kick ass, is only one option. Very satisfying for the player, as they can connect better with that type of character, but one possible narrative. Even in those games, sometimes the end is the death of the protagonist (not gonna name titles in case you or others haven't played).
I enjoyed it a lot at first, as I assume did other people, but as time goes by, every underdog film, game, story, make me think it's made from the same blueprint. The same way the main good character is ridiculously good and the antagonist is obviously evil in most kids movies and you can always guess the plot. Or in wrestling where there are obvious faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys). To me, it's just too simple.
But I think you should actually go and give Acting Lessons a try. It's quite short for a VN and it deserves to be played.
