Hoshizora no Memoria: Wish upon a Shooting Star TECHNICAL Short ☆ - its pretty long Easy Japanese ☠ - not always really (we are having some problems with the fan disc translation with few scenes), but it has English patch so you can read that so ☆☆☆ All / Almost all text is voiced ☆☆☆ - fully voiced except no protag voice (so you can immerse and its better) Replay voice button ☆☆ GENRE Mystery ☆☆☆ - yes, very much Comedy ☆☆☆ - I cried many times from laughter Action ☆☆ - something is there, yes LIGHT Romance ☆☆ - yep, pretty much light romance GAMEPLAY / FEATURES Gameplay / Choices ☆☆☆☆☆ - easy, straightforward, after you finish a route, they are also marked so you know for which heroine from the ones you finished they are "Transparent" routes ☆☆ - yep, you don't even need walkthrough True/good ending NOT based on pure luck. ☆☆ - true end is easy to get into, only good ends PRESENTATION Artstyle ☆☆☆ - beautiful Voiceacting ☆☆☆ - Mare is considered to be one of the best characters (from all characters in all VNs ) partially for the insanely good voice acting, the rest are also really good Few extreme H-scenes ☆☆☆ - no extreme, they are actually mostly really good and I return to some of them quite often even if its a year since I played it so thats 36 ☆ if you read in english, 34 ☆ if you read in japanese since it not that easy so 1 ☆ for some of the parts. And on top of that, there is infinite number of stars in Hibarigasaki

Gyakuten Saiban series (known in English as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) TECHNICAL Short ☆☆☆ (medium length) Easy Japanese ☆☆☆ (relatively easy) All / Almost all text is voiced ☆☆☆ (nothing is voiced) Replay voice button ☆☆ (no voice acting) GENRE Mystery ☆☆☆ (awesome plot twists) Comedy ☆☆☆ (awesome characters/comedy) Action ☆☆ (mostly courtroom drama/murder mystery, so...) LIGHT Romance ☆☆ (only hints of it, but still no stars I'd say) GAMEPLAY / FEATURES Gameplay / Choices ☆☆☆☆☆ (requires paying attention and finding clues, very rewarding experience) "Transparent" routes ☆☆ (linear, no routes, so in that sense it's a plus that you can't get lost, I guess?) True/good ending NOT based on pure luck. ☆☆ (You need to sovle the mystery yourself, so yeah, you have to work and consider all the clues/info to be successful) PRESENTATION Artstyle ☆☆☆ (good, but up to personal preference) Voiceacting ☆☆☆ (no voice acting at all, other than a few sound effects) Few extreme H-scenes ☆☆☆ (there are no h-scenes) Total: 23 You could also look into non-VN games, your usual JRPG tends to use easier language, for example the Tales of series, or the two Shining games (Blade, Ark) on the PSP.

Most of the VNs here are pre-patched into english, so I can't say much about whether the original is difficult or not. But, regardless... Umineko no Naku Koro ni TECHNICAL Short ☆☆☆ (50+ Hour game) Easy Japanese ☆☆☆ All / Almost all text is voiced ☆☆☆ Replay voice button ☆☆ (Cannot replay voices) GENRE Mystery ☆☆☆ Comedy ☆☆☆ Action ☆☆ (Some 'action' depending on the use of the word.) LIGHT Romance ☆☆ GAMEPLAY / FEATURES (Has no choices whatsoever, according to the OP all of the stars are given here.) Gameplay / Choices ☆☆☆☆☆ "Transparent" routes ☆☆ True/good ending NOT based on pure luck. ☆☆ PRESENTATION Artstyle ☆☆☆ Voiceacting ☆☆☆ Few extreme H-scenes ☆☆☆ (None whatsoever, so I think it counts...) TOTAL : 26 x ☆ (With some technicalities)

In my opinion... Kanon: Ayu Air: Kano Clannad: Nagisa/After Story Little Busters: Kudryvaka Rewrite: Shizuru Overall this was difficult to choose, but after calculating flags, factoring in technology that was available at the time, and carrying many 2s, I've come to the conclusion that my favorite key route was Kud's route. Not because she is the cutest thing in all know universes, it's because her route was based on making a very difficult decision, one that was only decided because in actuality it was the right thing to do.

"The person I've fallen in love with just happened to be a little girl!" - Kogasaka You (Hoshizora no Memoria) its the one I have in my signature image, original is 好きになった子がたまたま少女だっただけだ！ its very meaningful and school-friendly quote expressing that little girls should not be left alone and should be loved Because otherwise they might get scared And that brings us another quote "Little girls should not be left alone and should be loved. Because otherwise they might get scared" - Steve, the loli protector
