Looking for Recommendations (Info inside)

[fatchicken]

So, I've been through a few VNs now and wanted some help in looking for more. To try and put what I'm after in simple words: Feels & Romance. I do prefer H-scenes (Not centred around it though, for example I felt like Yume Miru Kusuri had too many.) rather I like them as an element of the story. Here are some of my favourites.

 

G-Senjou No Maou - Really liked this one, mostly the main route. (In particular I actually didn't get too many feels until the end, but boy was it worth it.) It has also made me want to consider others of a similar 'dramatic' style. Though I still would prefer romance included.

Katawa Shoujo - My first, and so likely biased. But the feels hit me in a fair amount of these routes.

Little Busters! - For some reason, I didn't get the same emotion out of this that people seemed to make me believe I would. Still, I enjoyed it.

Clannad - Again Loved this one, meni feels.

Angel Beats! - LOVED This and the anime is one of my favorites also. 

 

Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for good art and so sometimes I feel like I'm wrongly put off of older VNs. Still, don't hesistate to suggest them.

Grisaia, since someone is going to suggest it eventually anyway.

 

Also, are you fine with untranslated suggestions?

[Mr Poltroon]

I'd recommend Rewrite. By the creators of Little Busters!, Clannad and Angel Beats!, the plot is not focused around either feels or romance but does include them.

By the time you reach the end it can turn a bit darker, but other than that, it has a fun common route (long), and 5 heroine routes (long).

 

I also recommend Grisaia no Kajitsu. I don't care if it fits your tastes (it does, though). Read it anyways.

Ah sorry, I forgot to mention - English translated only please. Thanks for the suggestions thus far.

Going to download Grisaia now, I've also started to download Planetarian and Hoshizora No Memoria - Any opinions? 

[Funyarinpa]

I'm contemplating on if whether I should recommend Umineko....

 

...I guess I will.

 

You'll read it sooner or later anyway.

Planetarian is a feels bombardment. But it's short. 

Get your tissues on the ready.

 

Grisaia has a long, comedic common route. If you don't like comedy or get bored easily, be careful with this common route and don't marathon it. The story within is great though. Out of the five routes you're guaranteed to love 2/5. The other 3 depend on your personal opinions, but you can't say any of them is devil's spawn.

 

Hoshizora No Memoria is appreciated by many people, it's got romance and a story. Not as heavy on the feels as your usual, but it's got some drama as expected. There are 7 routes. The twins' routes are the main dish, with Asuho's for fanservice and Aoi for masochism (as in, I want to punch a wall kind of masochism). Chinami's has backstory on the protagonist (and incest, terribly done incest). The rest you'll just have to see for yourself.

 

Umineko has nothing to do with your tastes. It's a mystery visual novel, and I can't deny there's romance in it, but for a 100 hour + experience that is only natural. Remember I said mystery, but it's not your traditional mystery either. That visual novel is true literature. If you plan on reading it, you really have to read it properly, rushing to the next part is a recipy for finishing it while still being in the dark on half the story.

umm, how about Crescendo, or Kana: Little Sister, or Figures of Happiness. Those all made me cry.. in a good way.

[Okami]

Shinigami no Kiss wa Wakare no Aji is somewhat similar to Yume Miru Kusuri in terms of drama and romance (and personaly Shinigami no Kiss wa Wakare no Aji was slightly better for me) so if you liked Yume Miru Kusuri you will probably like this one too.

 

And if you are searching for something more lighthearted Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete might be a good choice.

Well I just finished planetarian and I really -really- liked it, definitely going up there with G-senjou and Angel Beats! Thank you all again, I'll work through your suggestions.
