Muv-Luv is pretty meh and overhyped as shit for whatever reason. It's not bad but it doesn't really do anything interesting. The medium has some gems but if you get the wrong recommendations it's very easy to dismiss all of them as stupid bullshit.
For general recommendations go with:
Subahibi - Some people love it and some people hate it but nobody denies that it's crazy fun to read. There's lots of ideas from Wittgenstein and Jung so if you're into that you'll have a great time.
Saya no Uta: It's about 5 hours long so go with this one first if you don't mind cunny. Great lovecraftian stuff.
Ever17: Kids get trapped in an underwater themepark and are trying to escape. A little bloated with the slice of life but has one of the biggest 'holy fucking shit' moments ever if you make it to the final route.
Anything by ryukishi07 is good but usually very bloated other than his shorter works like Higanbana.
There's also some 'meh' visual novels that I wouldn't absolutely recommend but they're still fun like dies irae and valhalla. Never read fata morgana, it's boring garbage.

It's a bloated mess with some of the craziest ideas ever in fiction. It's absolutely worth reading but it's not consistently amazing. Everybody thinks the sprite art is ehh at first and then comes to love it later on. Use the voice patch on top of the original art for the best experience.
