Over the years, there’s been a lot of debate about whether visual novels can be considered games. As visual novels mostly consist of text, images, and many clicks to progress the story, a lot of visual novel fans do not consider the media to be included in “games”.

The concept of a fan-made spin-off for games is not new at all. In fact, a lot of parody/fan-made spin-offs exist as a result of the fans' dedication to the original work. However, rarely have I seen a community develop as fast as the Danganronpa fangame community, known as “Fanganronpa”, or “Fangans.”
