Yakuza 0 can be seen as having visual novel aspects, like its focus on story and dialogue. However, it combines this with gameplay mechanics and a wider range of activities that set it apart from a pure visual novel.
Not entirely. While it shares certain characteristics with visual novels, such as story-driven elements and character development, Yakuza 0 is more of an action-adventure game with a rich narrative.
Maybe it's the combination of the yakuza theme and the 'young friend' aspect that sets it apart.
I'm not sure about an exact similar one. But 'Danganronpa' series are great visual novels with unique storylines and interesting characters.
One of the highly regarded yakuza novels is 'Tokyo Underworld' by Robert Whiting. It gives a vivid and in - depth look into the yakuza world in Tokyo.

I'm not aware of any extremely popular ones off the top of my head. However, in the broader genre of Japanese literature that touches on the yakuza and relationships, there might be some that fit this bill. Some authors might incorporate elements of yakuza life and love in their works, but it might not be a mainstream, widely - known sub - genre specifically titled 'yakuza in love novel'.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different 'yakuza in love' novels. Generally, it might be about a yakuza (a Japanese gangster) experiencing love, which could involve themes like loyalty in the yakuza world clashing with newfound love, and the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in a criminal environment.
I have no idea. Don't think there's a specific novel it's based on.

Yes, it can be. It depends on your preferences. If you enjoy crime dramas with complex characters and intense plots, you might find it quite good.
