umm.... well, I played my first visual novel by accident many years ago (True Love for those who knows about old VN games, or Dating Sims, with i also count as VN, btw) and I have been hook ever since. It is not that i have play a lot of them, but i have gotten my hands in a few good ones 😛 . I avoid those that are pure H :S

My favorite one has to be Kana Imouto. I haven't found any game more dramatic than that one, with sorta a good life lesson (My favorite endings being 5 and "Out of the maze", if you are interested 😛 ).

I started playing Umineko resently, and I am also finishing Ever17 (a good scifi VN). 🙂

Hi Dincu if your looking for a good visual novel that isnt a hentai novel i suggest checking out the higurashi no naku koro ni and umineko no Naku Koro ni novels that are made up of 4 question and answer novels each.
There both revolve around a dark mystery that will have you wanting to read more with each visual novel you read.

I watched Clannad and like the anime alot. I knew that the anime was based on a VN so i decided to try it. I tried to play Tomoyo its a wonderfull life , since its only 30% translated i played those 30% and liked it, Atm im still trying to find a new VN to play 😀 Never knew it was this fun 😀

I have played Date Warp and Re-Alastair++ and liked them, but I'm having a hard time finding free with-good-quality-with-english-sub visual novel.

I read Japanese, so I've played quite a few non-hentai dark fantasy VNs and like them very much. If there were fan translations for more of the darker non-hentai VNs, I would love to join. My group is doing a dark one, but it is dual language, so English and Japanese at the same time. 🙂

hmmm..never and probably never will 😀
it sounds boring and most of them are like harems? whats the point man...
Pardon me, this is just my opinion... no offense.

Only one I actually finished and liked is Disgaea infinite.
Overall i find visuall novels very boring.
