Just making sure: Have you read Cartagra? It's a prequel to Kara no Shoujo.

I have not, i though Kara no Shoujo don't have prequel.

So, should i read Cartagra first?

For If My Heart Had Wings, the Steam version has been heavily censored and the restoration patch for that VN is incomplete until a newer one comes out. Do you know Japanese? Because the only version of IMHHW I can recommend you reading for now is the untranslated Japanese version.

I do know a little bit of japanese language (I can fully read Katakana and Hiragana, Kanji not so much).

I already brought the IMHHW on steam, i guess i'll wait for the newer patch

Cartagra isn't a direct prequel. They both share the setting and characters, but that's preety much all. It's not required, albeit it'll help understand the story better, that's why I'd still advise to read it first.

You can drop Eiyuu*Senki and Flowers. Former is more of an turn-based srpg with vn-like storytelling, latter is boring as hell; if you prefer a good read above everything else, even the gorgeous art won't save the game.

I heard Steam rigged some VNs to be completely unplayable if a foreign patch that is not an official mod is installed.

This is news to me, wow, i guess i'll read the original untranslated IMHHW

I see, good to know

thank you.

I think ypu should put steins gate zero and Kara no Shoujo on the highest priority.

You are aware that neither Daiteikoku nor Walkure Romanze have an English translation, right?! Just asking because everything else on your list is translated and I'm not sure if it was just an accident or you're also reading untranslated stuff.

Considering your original question: If depends on your mood.

If you're motivated to read some dark mystery, then Kara no Shoujo would be the way to go. If you want moe then If my Heart had Wings is a solid choice (I'd priorize Walkure if you read untranslated). For action go Ayakashibito and for lots of H with some gameplay try Beat Blades Haruka.

I do aware of that, i can read japanese but still learning, Walkure Romanze won't be pretty bad to read with my current knowledge but it might take quite sometime cuz i read the line three times in untranslated vn before proceeding.

Anyway thanks for the recommendation

[littleshogun]

I saw this, and I think if you didn't had any problem with yuri here, I could recommend Hakuai there. And if you want more, then I recommend Ace Attorney Investigation 2 here just because the fan translator managed to find some nice localized name for new characters there (Which was quite a feat imo). Hope this will be help here.

Yuri is the best relationship

Thanks also are you really from indonesia? if so then we came from the same country

[littleshogun]

I kind of guess that you from Indonesia earlier here (From the name), and turn out my guess was right here. Yes, in case you asking I'm also from Indonesia here.

Glad to see someone from the same country

Is my username really that obvious? i met another indonesian user here and he said same thing about my name

I'd play Steins;Gate Zero, Walküre Romanze and If My Heart Had Wings, but that's only what I'd do (I plan to play myself Konosora Summer 2017, since it's a novel set in summer).

[Fred the Barber]

From your list, I'd prioritize Steins;Gate 0, Ayakashibito, IMHHW (assuming the new patch comes out in 2017), and World End Economica. I'd love to say Chusingura, but there's not a chance in hell I'm reading that translation or recommending it to anyone else. If I were better, I'd try reading it untranslated, though. Little Witch Romanesque and Nurse Love Addiction are on my backlog as well.

[WinterfuryZX]

Chusingura is great... until the real villain shows up. Anyway the 18+ scenes are useless as usual and the translation is not that bad.

If "not that bad" is the most flattering way you can describe it, it's not really all that good, is it?  I've seen several screenshots of extremely poor English (like, on the level of an elementary schooler bad), and that's only one part of a translation.

My english level is not much better than that, therefore I didn't notice anything terrible. Except maybe for how poorly they handled the honorifics.
