What are your favorite visual novels?
Just started getting into these & I've read Fate/Stay night, Muv-Luv series, Majikoi, Sengoku Rance, and just finished G-senjou no Maou.
I'd really appreciate some recommendations, as I've just spent the last 2 hours browsing vndb and I can't make up my mind.

Sorry, I can't pin your taste down. It seems you read anything which has a translation. Just pick a random VN. I think you will like anything.

Am I just supposed to magically know what vn's are good? I already stated I'm new to vn's. You think maybe I should start a thread somewhere and ask people who have been doing this for awhile what are good reads? Oh wait..........
If you're such a fucking expert, mind getting off your high horse and recommending some titles that aren't "shit" or "okay".
And as to the choice of the titles I've been playing, I'm pretty obviously just going down the list of what's most popular on vndb. Isn't that the obvious thing someone who's new to the genre would do?

I've been learning japanese for the past 6 months, so I could probably only get through a title only if it wasn't very complicated.

You should at least give your impressions on the titles. You don't make it especially easy for other people to give you advice.

Cool down, nerd.

You're a very sad, pathetic, little man aren't you? Calling someone who reads visual novels a nerd is kind of fucking redundant.
Fate/Stay was exciting at parts, but I got pretty bored in multiple playthroughs. 7/10
Muv-Luv extra was ok, it's only good point was it's humor. I thought unlimited and alternative were better but I disliked the ending. 7/10
Sengoku Rance I obviously played more for the gameplay. 5/10
Majikoi I honestly thought was pretty hilarious at times, which always seems to be the strong point to me in these school-life scenarios. 7/10
G-senjou I liked the true route quite a bit, although I found all of the other girls routes kind of mediocre. 7/10

As you can see I kind of have mediocre opinions of the vn's I played but I know I like vn's. Which is why I'm wondering what other people play. Fucking duh. Anything else smart to say?

I'm honestly not trying to make people cater to my tastes or anything, I'm just curious about what some peoples favorite vn's are and why they liked them. I've really only tested the waters and I'm trying to broaden my horizons a bit. As long as it has a good story I'll be more than happy to read it.

I liked the true route quite a bit. Found the rest of the heroines routes to be kind of boring though, which brought it down in my opinion which is why I said 7/10. I can definitely say if you're going to do all of the heroines I would save Usami's for last. It's definitely the most epic.

Also, totally forgot to mention this but I've also read cross channel. I definitely think it's the best vn I've read so far, I'd say 8.5/10. But like I said earlier, I'm still pretty new to vn's.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys, I'm gonna write them all down and take a look at them later.

It's a "Code Geass" of VNs.

Play it because it's a bit silly and amusing, and a bit contrived to boot, not because you want something super deep and meaningful. It's still got some pretty intense and interesting parts though.

Probably the kind of person who can watch and enjoy shows like Code Geass and Horizon and other silly things for what they are without proclaiming "THIS IS THE BEST EVER" are the kind who will get the most out of G-sen.

The pacing is horrible and the twists are an ass-pull. I think it also has a few plot holes, but I couldn't finish it, so maybe it gets explained later. There is a huge difference in quality between the routes. I didn't liked it a bit.

Yeah, the speed mainly. It's definitely worse than the /jp/ VN thread, but it's nice to be able to actually have a conversation. It doesn't help that the VN thread here seems to have slowed down quite a bit since /vg/ was made, so that you have to search up to page 10 to find it.
