Okay so if I'm going to make a Visual Novel Tower Defense game, how do I want to do it?

I could have a visual novel playing out in one section of the screen, and a tower defense game in another, and have them relate to one another.

I could make it entirely a visual novel with Tower Defense mechanics. Like, talk to people in areas about tower placement.

Maybe I could have seperate tower grids for different locations in the world?

No, I think I'll use the Visual Novel parts for determining what enemies rush your tower emplacements. That should work. Maybe also determining what towers you have.

I'll give it some thought overnight.
