Since apparently Doki Doki is the worst VN ever on Sup Forums I want some recommendations for good ones.

Try out Nekojishi, my man.
MGQ
It was liked on Sup Forums before it was released on steam and ecelebs and whatever latched onto it.
Noratoto if you want to bother installing VNR. If you'd rather ease your way into VNR, getting used to the broken English, read Norn's Makai Princess trilogy, one is even translated which is why I recommend it.
If you don't want to use VNR just read Nekopara.

There was a thread yesterday about PC98 stuff that had a lot of discussion about good VNs. You should look there.
I miss that thread
VA-11 HALL-A is pretty comfy and has good music if you're willing to get memed on a bit by faggots here.
The average person who reads visual novels is a pretentious cunt and you should never listen to them. See Lemmasoft Forums for further details.
Solid choice. Mr. Cena was the best Cena.

Have the actual picture.
that's pretty disappointing
There are no good VNs, and there's only three kinds:
>OELVNs, which are inherently shit
>TLd VNs, which are also shit
>Nip only VNs, which are good until translated, then weirdly enough become shit
Funny how these things work.
t. cynical asshole
katawa shoujo
Kara no Shoujo is good, great murder mystery. You might need a guide though it gets a bit obscure as to what you should do.
Shark dating sim. Not even joking, its got shark tits.
I'm just saying, that's how things work on here, /jp/, etc. The only good stuff is untranslated, and then its derided once translated, so commenting on x VN being called shit is pointless.

Kara no Shoujo,
It's pretty hilarious how true your posts are
There is. Both the artbook and the CG for both games are up on EXhentai.
I do too. Spent a ton of time with battles on 2 and 3.
If your into spooky and a branching story then this is your game.

It's okay, you're among faggots.
I liked Rewrite and C;H a lot. Currently playing Muv-Luv
>OELVNs, which are inherently shit
No argument.
>TLd VNs, which are also shit
Only true because of meme companies doing the commercial translations, and chucklefucks doing the free fan translations.
>Nip only VNs, which are good until translated, then weirdly enough become shit
By this point you know they aren't good, but by some weird analogue to suspension of disbelief you ignore it because by this point you are weeb enough to accept the medium for what it is. As for being bad when translated, the small narrative techniques that slightly enhance the VN simply cannot be translated like vertically oriented text (decently executed in the Japanese version of Kara no Shoujo for example) or kanji puns (which make no sense in context when translated).
I'm also just making shit up
the bishoujo series
honestly it's probably the best story i've seen in a video game, the anime for the first game was ok but the animation style changed half way through and it started to look odd

also Steins Gate 0 is universally hated on Sup Forums but I like it.
Doki Doki isn't the worst VN ever, but it's extremely overrated (like Katawa Shoujo) and Reddit as fuck. Of course no one is going to like it around here.
Listen to this man, also Umineko is aces.
Ignore this man.
999 is all the good parts of E17 without the moeshit, padding and lesser plot points. It's elevated by superior theming, tension, use of the flood setting, and meta-narrative fuckery (the game knows how a savvy reader is thinking and is structured around this perfectly). The elememts recycled for VLR and ZTD arent worth suffering through the garbage for.
Koihime Musou
danganronpa
fate/staynight
Why were the girls so much better than anything Japan has made? And they don't even have routes IT'S NOT FAIR
play visual novels from the 90's those have way better girls
Majikoi is objectively the best VN.
yes
fate stay night vn is bretty gud OP!

The PC-98 VN thread earlier got me legitimately interested in the genre. What titles are the best for someone just getting into the genre?
in b4 everyone starts recommending baby's first VN, katawa shoujo
This is a lie.
The game is fucking boring
isn't it just about dykes droning on about how awful dudes are and how much they like eating carpet?
If you're interested in the aesthetic of PC-98 VNs try YU-NO, which is still considered one of the best VNs ever made
Muv-Luv. And then Alternative, which is unironically one of the greatest visual novels ever made.
PLAY MY GAME
Is it literally that hard to google "VN recommendations"?

>Muv-Luv.
everyone was such a fucking retard in this. not a single likeable character trait between any of the girls, and the monsters were fucking stupid aswell
Watch the anime instead. VN is not worth it, it's a bait from oldfags.
It's really easy for me to just call you a brainlet and be done with it because no one ever has the energy to get into discussing Muv Luv.
i've read it twice and i still think i'm too dumb to understand umineko
>no one ever has the energy to get into discussing Muv Luv.
maybe because it was shit?
>characters are impotent retards when the plot requires it, geniuses with plot armor several miles thick when it doesn't
>the entirety of humanity jobbing to some of the most boring enemies in any fiction i have ever read ever period
i don't know whats wrose, the edgelord gore parts or the excuses contrived to have them
Danganronpa 1 is pretty good
3 is supposed to be pretty good as well (apart from the ending)
>i didn't understand the ending of V3
Please Bang My Wife
I loved 2, playing 3 right now. 2 was better than one and that's saying a lot because of how good 1 was.
Doki Doki is too quick to jump to its twists. The characters have had barely any screen time when heads start rolling.
I would recommend Katawa, Saya no Uta, 999 and Ghost Trick.
Reminder that NEVER GO TO /vn/
I haven't played 3 yet
NO YOU'RE WRONG
2 doesn't have a setting I personally enjoy and the graphics were much worse
That's because DDLC basically is an advertisement for his next anime game
Do this OP.
>greentexting with two arrows
this
>Saya no Uta
I forgot actual weeabos are on the same level of trash as ironic weebs.
It's down there, but it's not the worst. Danganronpa wins king of shit mountain there.
Should I start the series with Umieko or play the first couple games in its series first?
Yuri is best girl and if you don't have a primal instinct to protect her and help her overcome her self harm habits then there's something wrong with you.
Umineko and Higurashi are mostly unrelated. There are a bunch of references and a returning secondary character but thats it. I would play them in order but its up to you. Higurashi is horror and Umineko starts off as mystery and then derails into... something else.
Yes. Also, both exist in your head only.
>something else
Autism.
Non-porn VNs tend to do that.
Porn VNs tend to start as autism instead so its fine.
Root Letter is pretty good.

Oh, these were translated? Wew. Thanks user.
these are still never ever tier right?
shame because the art is godly
