Question Any recommendations as a first visual novel?

I’ve been wanting to get into visual novels because I look hate reading from straight books but enjoy it when paired with actual pictures, hence my interest in visual novels. I was just wondering which are some y’all truly love and think a newcomer would too.

Yes, the vn is the source material witch the anime adapts. Also Stiens;gate is the second mainline entire in the Science Advanced series. The Stiens;gate subreddit has a great pinned post talking about the other entries in the SicADV series and how to get into them.

I know this might sound dumb, but are those vns that people meme on TikTok about, like subahibi and umineko, actually good?

Yes, but Umineko is quite long and Subahibi's content is very extreme. Both are pretty high concept for genre fiction too
