Do you think the visual novel devs back in japan will ever consider the west as a main market and not as an afterthought?

That's pretty unlikely. Most of the Japanese entertainment industry is concerned solely with the domestic audience. The VN sector in particular is specifically geared towards workers who are looking to spend their regular paycheck, which is why so many of them come out on the same day. They're certainly beginning to see the West as a potential market, but it's going to take a larger cultural shift for them to start catering to foreigners the way they've started doing with video games.
