Visual Novels I currently have but none completed yet:
Flyable Heart (not patched)
Fate/stay night (patched)
Katawa Shoujo (English so no need for patch)
Little Busters! (patched)
My Girlfriend is the President (not patched but I heard that there is a official English version)

Don't like Saya no Uta because it is way too dark for me,does Flyable Heart have any English patch yet?

IIRC Flyable Heart had a machine translation English patch, so it's not going to be easy to read.

Machine translation is just...training to decipher. 8-)

Well sinked 55 hrs in 2 weeks playing that game, so it must be decent I guess.... (Gameplay is very similar to fire emblem where you have a hero class person go around killing mobs. Storyline is nothing special. Battle animation needs work. Difficulty level on normal setting is a little bit harder than FE on normal difficulty (Goddess of Dawn without saves on normal is probably still harder if you want to keep everybody) Gameplay length for 1 route is 40hrs (I took 48 because there were 3 stupid quest that I wanted to complete but took like 2-3hrs for me to collect things like 50 of each fruit). In the end, you have to enjoy it for gameplay to enjoy the game, and note that some quest are stupid to no end.)

Hmm I don't mind a farming quest and seeing you willing to spend time to play it I guess the game is worth playing, so time to download this game 8-)

The 'Phoenix Wright' series is one of the best series ever IMO
currently i have been obsessed with;
- 'Katawa Shoujo' (highly recommended)
- 'Umineko' (not for the weak-minded or hearted)
and i've also started on 'Fate Stay Night' (though i am only on the prologue scene ATM)

also i don't know if it counts but, the school life sections in the 'persona' games also have a special place in my heart, some of the Social Links you make are incredible

Yeah, Katawa Shoujo is a really good one, just to clarify, you CAN turn off the ecchi scenes in options so technically it is suitable for the underaged teens.

Recently I started a random VN I found on A-S called Supplement Time, it revolves around a relationship between Hatsune Miku and a boy who finds her abandoned on the street.

Playing through School Days HQ.
So far all I've seen are videos... Is the story narrated through video or something?

Nah, I guess the alternative to the usual CG of a VN is explained through videos in School Days. Though I've never played the game and I don't plan to do so.

During the past week I cleared a few routes of Katawa Shoujo (anal & scars) + Kamidori (crayll OP unit) and now starting Muv-Luv Alternative lol

Just started Ever17 the other night, seems it was a good pick. Though I haven't gotten that far.

Also Tsugumi is awesome :)

So I played through it a bit.
It IS a VN but instead of the usual sprites + background, it's in an "interactive movie" format.
Sprites are all animated, the background moves as well, and instead of text, they use audio (with subtitles though).

Edit: Referring to School Days HQ

Yeah, it was.

Ryukishi07 (the one behind 07th Expansion) wanted to make a similar feeling to Key's works, but brings another unpredictable (if you know what I mean) impact at the end. Leaving a certain feeling that's much more different than Key's.

Well, for newcomers that just started out with 07th Expansion, the illustration isn't exactly the pinnacle of Ryukishi-sama's works. The story is, and always will be.

But for us, I think the illustrations, sounds and storylines fits perfectly together, don't you think? It's just that no one can put them better together than him.

That's because it's new. Also, I don't think Ryukishi-sama is behind the illustrations.
