VNR started with ITH but now has years of fixes and improvements that don't exist in ITH. Some of the stuff piled on top makes it much easier to launch games in their correct locales and trivializes hooking them properly. (I don't use the rest of the stuff like the crowd-sourced translations.)
It's not difficult to launch games from the correct locale or to hook games in ITH? Unless you absolutely need another country's locale data for your normal use (why are you playing VNs on your work computer?), it's easier to just set your locale and non-Unicode settings to Japanese and be done with it. I can't count the threads I've seen over the years of people debugging AppLocale and similar tools, or just trying to set them up in the first place.
Is it possible to get rid of all the extra crap in VNR? I have absolutely no use for the auto translations, subtitles, locale emulator, or anything else, just the text hooker and output screen. I haven't run into any problems with ITH yet, but if I do, it'd be nice to have an upgrade available.
