Trello can be an interesting option too. You can create boards for different genres of novels. Then make lists like 'Owned', 'Borrowed', 'Wishlist' etc. within each board. You can add cards for each novel with details such as author, publication date, and your own rating.
One useful organizing tool for visual novels could be a dedicated file manager. You can create folders for different visual novels, and within those folders, have sub - folders for things like save files, character art, and story scripts.

'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos is an epistolary novel. It's a complex web of letters between various characters, mainly the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont.
