Help
As the title says. Which one would be better for making a visual novel with little RPG battles between scenes?

Probably RPG Maker. The question is whether it's easier to make VN scenes in RPG Maker or RPG battles in Ren'Py - and while I've seen plenty of (Japanese) RPG Maker games with VN scenes I haven't seen a lot of Ren'Py games with competent battle engines - you're definitely facing an uphill battle there.
Disclosure: I have never used RPG Maker, I've only played games using it. I've used Ren'Py.

<Malwyn> Yes, yes. Don't worry I'd rather masturbate with broken glass than ask you for help again. :(

I would think that if an engine can't pretty easily do VN style gameplay then it can't really do much of anything.

Right, and I figure battle systems are enough work that if you only want simple battles it would be best going with a premade system that already comes with a lot of useful assets for creating those.

Don't know Ren'py at all but I agree with Lancer's statement on the face of it anyway.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

So, RPG Maker? While I agree, there is a deal breaker.
Ren'py is free, while RPG Maker is not.
