All I can say is VN is one of the best game genres to be playing. Correct me if it's not a genre.
(>.<) CHT I love you're avatar, also I would think VNs fall under RPGs wouldn't they?
RPGs and other genre, is just a complimentary/side genre. So there are VNs with RPG elements.

Edit: After looking at the VN's you listed i'm now sure that we are talking about the same thing. Those aren't just porn games, infact they look fun. I would consider giving one a try someday if they ever get translated.
Yes, just like I said, being a sexual oriented VN doesn't mean it's all about dumb sex. Let's see the ones from the examples:
-AV King -> As the title says, You're going to direct an AV because you're trying to pay of the girls debt. Replay value is high, because the amount of ways to make your "AV". and also the girls acting is a factor. Which makes this a fun comedic VN to play. Try imagining your first time directing an AV and the girl can't act, hilarity ensues.
-Bishoujou Mangekyou -> This one is pretty simple, The conversion and progress pretty much happens in the sex scenes, but this one a has a simple sweet love story.
-Amatsu Kaze ~Kugutsu Jinpuu-chou~ -> One of the longest VNs that I played, shit seriously. Amatsukaze is a branching adventure game with card battles and RPG elements. The sex is there to strengthen the characters, and also will choose the route. But this is one of the VNs that actually balanced a good story with intrigue and many sexual content.
-Beat Blades Haruka -> as an ALicesoft game it will have high sexual content. The sex in this VN is the only way to level up your girls who are ninjas, and of course will choose the route. Like Amatsukaze, despite the high sexual content the story ia also good, with a bit of classic action drama.
-Sisters ~Natsu no Saigo no Hi~ -> Sex happens very late, but it comes with a lot. the Story itself is pretty mind-fucking a bit. The story is pretty much a casual love story.
-Rance Series -> Do I need to explain this lol.
And honestly, how will it hurt. A sex oriented VN is made for the sex. I'm not talking about whether a VN needs hentai or not, but just a simple
Do not underestimate a VN just because it has a high sexual content (sexual oriented).
There's also other factors that are just as important as story, Like I said, not all VNs are "sob-stories", "Minf-fuck plot twist" or "epic action", but will still be highly praised for it's content.
