I confirm:
- that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
The visual novel now launches as of 3.16-4 beta. There may or may not be any additional compatibility issues but I haven't started reading the visual novel yet.
Before 3.16-4 beta
If you just download the visual novel and launch it, nothing shows up. The visual novel stops showing as running almost immediately after it's run.
However, I got it working. It needs the 32-bit version of mfc140u.dll (from Visual C++ Redist 2015). I installed it (into Proton's wine prefix) but that wasn't enough for it to work, I had to then go to the syswow64 folder and copy the required dll into the visual novel's folder. (I installed it into the default prefix, and Steam creates new prefixes for each app... see the script below!) Once that's done, the visual novel launches as expected (yay!).
Reproduction
Download the game and click Play.

Research direction
Start with steam-802880.log and the reported Proton 3.16 and 3.7 beta behavior. Check whether the 32-bit mfc140u.dll dependency still reproduces for Muv-Luv (802880) and Muv-Luv Alternative (802890), then document any remaining compatibility symptoms and a reproducible launch result.
