I've tried playing a few. But when I tried one that was Japanese (with a translator), I gave up.

The art-styles always scare me away.

Quote from purple716

Is there any manga where the male lead has an illness known as stomach ulcers.Yaoi are fine top.

I wouldn't consider myself to have played a lot, but I've completed at least five titles (~over 15 arcs).
Got myself a few more in the past month or so but haven't time time to play 'em yet. Maybe when I'm less busy 🤣

Some titles I've played:
-Ever 17 Completed
-Fate Stay/Night Completed
-Tsuki Possession Completed
-Clannad Completed
-Kanon Completed
-Bible Black (a few arcs left)
-Discipline (halfway through)

Everyday I'm tumblin'

I've played a few, but since I'm on a mac mostly only the not-very-good ones are available. I've really enjoyed Katawa Shoujo, though. =) I would like to play more bishoujo games like it if Im can get my hands on a spare PC somewhere.

I am saddened no one mentioned Otome (girl) and BL games yet~ ;A;

A lot of the more popular otome girls are pretty safe to play (kinda like most shoujo manga). I think the most 'H' an otome game gets just showing the top (like many smut manga?).
Although I like following stuff about it, I have only played a bit: Animamundi (too lazy to get all the routes), Heart no Kuni no Alice (it was too tiring to play and look at the translator at the same time >.<), and few other English games (here are some English girl's game here one can try for starters).

But some day, I'd like to play more non-H male orientated games like Princess Maker, which sounds pretty fun (and I heard there was a English version available! 😁 )

still waiting for the Hakuouki and Togainu no Chi translations lol 😛

A long, long time ago.

Too much effort/time that felt wasted.

I've played:
-Wanko to Kurasou (first one I played after stumbling across it; this one is really just an excuse for H stuff with girls with dog-ears 🙄
-Fate Stay Night*
-Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya*
-Cross Channel*
-Tears to Tiara
-Discipline

The ones with the * next to them are ones I recommend for their storylines; each of them can stand alone without any hentai content. (In fact I'm pretty sure FSN and Cross Channel have been adapted to non-H versions)

"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

I've heard of visual novels but...what are they?

"to the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world."
-unknown

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" (from Hamlet, Wm. Shakespeare; Act II, scene ii)

(Even though the quote above is from Hamlet, I first saw it in a Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer on YouTube ^o^)

Quote from calstine

Now that I do know, I can safely say that I'll never play one. I'm not really into these computer-game-type things anyway.

It's not computer-game-type, it's more like a novel with illustrations. Plus from time to time you can make decisions.

"Thus is our treaty written, thus is agreement made
Thought is the arrow of time, memory never fades
What was asked is given, the price is paid"

I've played them but only the hentai ones. I've never even seen anything for non h VN's

played some only the one with eng trans patch or released in NA, would play more but I don't really like agth+atlas methode 🤢

"we are people because of other people"
"I am who I am because of who we all are"

I read a bit of Tsukihime, Phantom of Inferno and one I found for the Ipod (I was really bored). I don't know why they call visual novels games because they're not... Just walls of text... 😐 Visual novels are alright for passing time but I'd rather shoot stuff.

I've only read the non-hentai visual novels. I don't have much of an interest in hentai personally.

I absolutely loved Ever17 and the Umineko novels. Both Ever17 and Umineko have full english patches, so if you're sick of atlas translation I would highly recommend both of them.

I've only played Narcissu which was a REALLY long time ago.

Quote from LawX

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.

Quote from Crenshinibon

And you will murder someone one day, pika. If you're my daughter.

I've played a lot of them (I've finished 14 currently) and I love them! Some may avoid them because there's usually H-scens but there's acually a lot of them with out any H-scens which even children can play.

Here's a great homepage for Visual novels if anyone is intrested: http://vndb.org/

Here's also a link to my favorite Visual novel which is without any H-scens, and yeah It's legally free and you can download it at the homepage: http://trueremembrance.insani.org/ (to download go to the "get" tab)

I won't bother to keep my manga list at two places at once, so... http://myanimelist.net/profile/Hogat
