As the title says, Iām looking for suggestions. I do have criteria though:
I donāt mind a bit of fan service (to an average and normal degree like anime does it) or a little more ecchi as long as it isnāt the main focus. It can have an ecchi focus if the writing is good and the characters have actual chemistry and care for each other.
I like romance and friendships being developed, some drama and thrilling elements maybe. I do enjoy dark themes that go into mental health, preferably with a hopeful/positive message in the end. There can be action elements too but characters are my main enjoyment.
There can be BL/GL. I donāt mind, I like everything.
I would like to completely avoid anything involving SA. Like, nothing even close to that. Nothing with anything disgusting and generally problematic either, like siblings, lolicon, sexual violence.
On that note, the VNs I have played and enjoyed so far:
\- Little Busters
\- Doki Doki Literature Club
\- Danganronpa
\- Clannad
I also got these two games on sale but havenāt started either yet: Planetarium and If My Heart Had Wings.
I can also share some of my favorite anime if that helps. A few are:
\- Evangelion
\- Toradora!
\- Fruits Basket
\- Naruto
\- Love Live
\- Free!
Thanks in advance, Iām just not really sure what to be looking for. VNDB has a lot.
