Japanese app did it back in 2017, LLM just made it easier for a solo developer to do the same thing.

They did it even before that with the game Love Plus for the Nintendo DS.

Did they get traction? Is it a viable product? Sounds like it's hard to navigate what is allowed and not allowed as a comp.

Love Plus is a Visual Novel / Dating Sim, got a sequel on the 3DS and apparently there was some kind of App[1]? So enough traction for that at least. Japan-exclusive (and probably not really compatible with the European or US market as a retail title, IMO).

There is definitely no AI in there apart from if-else trees, at least in the original games - the DS is super low power.
