There are so many threads on hentai games but I didn't see the more story-driven ones getting much talk.

Most visual novels from Japan are romance themed and the vast majority have pornographic content (except the otome-ge).

Have you played a VN/eroge before? because they are really different things. There is literally nothing quite like it. They are designed to develop real relationships with the player, and I think the sex scenes in the end are more gratifying as a result of the emotional voyage you've gone through with your partner. i.e. the ultimate porn.

One of my favourites is Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete by Pulltop

Note: this thread less about nukige and more about bishoujo-ge, otome-ge, eroge.

(PS: There's a whole bunch of them that have been fan translated if any1 is interested.)

Meh. It works for some people. I'll admit I've played through one, but with translation aggregator, so it was a bit spotty. It's nice having a plot, but eh. Real people > art/CG.

Some of them or just pure porn, but there's some that are really story-driven.

Some of story-driven visual novel that I've heard or played :
Saya no Uta
Swan Song
Katawa Shoujo -
What a beautiful series, 2 that already have been translated :
Sekien no Inganock- what a beautiful people
Shikkoku no Sharnoth - what a beautiful tomorrow

Not really interested with visual novel with normal setting (e.g. school life, etc), so I don't know much.

My daily websites:
batoto.net, tvtropes.org, 9gag.com

I really liked Katawa Shoujo. I would get more into them if they didnt go out of their way to give me a full view of the characters genitals. I also really do not like rape stuff. I heard it was removed in Aselia the Eternal which was what helped push me to get it. I had wanted it for a while in english but the loli-looking characters and rape really made me leery.
