Request: Visual Novel as a genre

[speedbeatz]

I found this thread from four years ago but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.
Visual Novels are a unique style of game that very often don't fall easily into genres available on the site - for example, some are horror-themed but certainly wouldn't be survival horror, mystery and romance games don't really fit well into "adventure", etc.
From what I see most of the VNs currently in the DB are marked as either Adventure or Other, so it would be nice to have a more accurate category to put them in!

Visual Novel would be a good addition for sure.

While we're at it, how about some consideration for...

Digital Board Game
FMV (Full Motion Video) & QTE (Quick Time Event) for games like Sewer Shark, Dragon's Lair or the TellTale Walking Dead games
Light Gun Shooter could be modified to Light Gun/Rail Shooter
Multi-Game Compilation (for titles like Taito Legends and Namco Museum)
Rhythm and Reflex (or combine Rhythm with Exercise for Rhythm/Exercise)
RPG (Action)
RPG (Tactical)

Open World Sandbox might be a good fit if for games like GTA, Watchdogs, Saints Row and Red Dead. I would think those games are a bit more defined than just "Action" and "Adventure". Anything else sound good?
