Re: Creating music for VN
I think it depend of the feeling you want to give to the player !
And do you want to make a single soundtrack or more ?
For exemple I always make a soundtrack for each character (about ten now, since they change for each stories),but also for the "Investigation" part and for the "Answering Questions about the Case" part.
So for the characters, if it's someone who looks a bit stupid or joyful, I'll make a joyful song, with piano and flute. If it's a selfish/dark/mysterious character, I'll take violins and so on.
You can also mix all of this instruments, it can give something very nice !
I don't know if I answered very well, but well...
P.S : So yes, it really depends of the feelings you want to give

Re: Creating music for VN
There isn’t any should or shouldn’t use instruments or effects that are special or must have for VNs
The more proper question is: “What style of music serves the narrative best?”
Then you ask: “What instruments are in the style I have chosen?”
Think in terms of overarching concept and style. Jumping from genre to genre makes a messy product.
