So I'm trying my best here to learn japanese on my own, I managed to learn all hiragana and soon will start with katakana (leaving the scary kanji for last). Once I'm done with katakana, I plan to play raw VNs (with a translated version by side). So I want to ask if there are VNs with furigana, or maybe if there's a way to see furigana with visual novel reader, either one is fine.

I think raw manga could be a better choice from a learning standpoint. They generally use easier language than VNs (there are always exceptions) and there's furigana over *everything*. But if you want VNs, what's been suggested above is a good start.

Maybe it's possible with Visual Novel Reader. I haven't checked. Can someone confirm this?

Yes you can. Pretty much was Vokoca said.

I recommend ITH and Translation Aggregator as suggested above.  The JParser plugin can be configured to display furigana, and also performs word-by-word lookup on mouseover.  The MeCab plugin also displays furigana (but with a different algorithm), and can be used as a cross-reference.

 

One of the perks of digital furigana is that they can be morphed to whatever font / size you want.  I've come across games where the game resolution is so low that the kanji look like blurry blobs.
