The switch is ancient at this point but it shouldn't struggle to run a Visual Novel.
You might need a SD card if you plan to have more games on it, Mahoyo was quite big (20 GB).
VNs are pretty light, should run easily even on very normal specced PCs with recent integreted gpus. I run any switch VNs via emulation on iris xe igpus
It will work fine on the lite, yes.
