I have already read the following great VNs which have a ladder structure :
1) G-Senjou no Maou
2) Grisaia no Kajitsu
3) DameKoi
I like the ladder structure because the later routes are not entirely in an alternate reality, the heroines who weren't chosen know that they weren't for whatever reason.
Damekoi was especially good here because well if you choose a particular heroine or if you don't, characters have a reaction to that action. It's not like most VNs where other characters just won't give a fuck because at that point in the common route they don't know the MC that well.
Another good thing to have would be a true route, like man the true route in G-senjou was fucking amazing.
A few things I really like in the VNs I read :
1) Less comedy, more drama. (Think Damekoi and WA 2 (Same author))
2) If there's no drama also it's fine then there should be action/suspense/thrill! (Think g-senjou no maou / Grisaia Series )
3) I would say to all this Majikoi is an exception, it has a ton of comedy along with action but overall I would say I like those kind of VNs. Loved Tsujidou-san as well. I don't know how to explain it so if you have VNs like those in mind, shoot! -
So I am planning to get creative and make some Grisaia no Kajitsu banner.
What I need is a similar font to what the game uses to make the title!
Any help in looking for one would be appreciated! -
Tsujidou-san

I know, I know, this is not what you want buuut I really have to recommend reading Clannad for all the drama it throws at you. It's in English, the MC is quite good and all the heroines are great in their own way. Of course, it's a high school-themed VN, but only until the true route, so why not?
This is one of those VNs that I am unable to play just like Fate.

Ayakashibito has the advantage of being about as dramatic as it comes, with a strong cast of well-defined characters and a determined protagonist who appreciates the little things in life to a ridiculous degree (with good reason).
I have played Ayakashibito and I agree with what you are saying. I only finished two routes tho so I may go back.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - Working, past the prologue: the prologue is set in an high school but it serves only to put the plot in motion.
428 - Working
Umineko no Naku koro Ni - Let's say "various people on "vacation"", the protagonist is a high school kid, though (80s japan)
Remember11 - Working
Saya no Uta - College
Tomoyo After - Working
then there are many VN in sc-fi or fantasy settings like badr sky, Eustia, Root Double, I/O, zero escape, the steampunk saga, MLA etc.
It really sucks that Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien has no English TL.
I have played Tomoyo After and plan to play Baldr Sky once it is out!

Minori VN's are usually very heavy on drama, I'd therefore recommend eden. And if you'd still be willing to give highschool theme a try, then I'd suggest ef - A Fairytale of the Two which is also from Minori. It's the only VN I ever had to stop reading, because it managed to throw me in a serious depression.
And Fata Morgana no Yakata is probably one of the best drama VN's ever written - I highly recommend it.
Going to play Eden* for sure!
Plan to play Fata Morgana at some point.
6 hours ago, GXOALMD said:Based on what you've said, the best thing I've got for you is Eden*. It's very heavy on the drama, doesn't take place in high school, and while the protagonist isn't op he's certainly no pushover. https://vndb.org/v1286
Second best option I have for you is Island. It's pretty light early on, but it gets darker when you get a bit further in. Some of the characters are highschool students, but the protagonist isn't and there isn't a single scene in the novel that takes place at a highschool. Again, the protagonist isn't op, in fact he comes across as kind of a dumbass, but objectively looking at everything he accomplishes in the novel it's safe to say he's pretty awesome. https://vndb.org/v18498
Obligatory third paragraph to comply with the rule of threes. Sorry, I only have the two suggestions.
Edit: Darn, someone beat me to Eden* (Also now I have too many paragraphs.)
I will play Eden* !
6 hours ago, r0xm2n said:Muv-Luv Trilogy. Yes the first entry, Extra, is the quintessential high school setting. The second entry, Unlimited, changes the setting (I won't spoil too much). And the third entry, Alternative, has all the drama and then some.
Sounds like you'd really like Grisaia no Kajitsu. It does have a highschool setting, but there's a twist. Don't let the overtly comedic common route fool you, this VN has plenty of drama (and some downright dark themes). You'll definitely like the protag too. I've heard Grisaia being compared to Sharin to Kuni too.
Sounds like you'd definitely enjoy Steins;Gate too. There's no high school setting there either.
I have played both the Grisaia Triology and S;G.
I have all the Muv-Luv's installed but i basically didnt play because its too huge and I figured that I don't have the time.
5 hours ago, Clephas said:Tokyo Babel comes to mind for translated, though it has a fake school (which is generally irrelevant, since the main characters are on the outside looking in when it comes to school life). Hello, Lady's protagonist is exactly what you are looking for.
A few suggestions (warning, untranslated)
The characters live in a fantasy world on the edge of moving into the industrial age. This one is about as dramatic as it gets. Prepare for tears.
This one meets all your conditions, as the romances all occur under stress and dramatically alter history at times (incidentally, all 'true history' arc heroine endings can be interpreted as normal or bad endings)
The downside to this one is that one of the heroines is singularly unattractive, but all the paths are good... and even one of the antagonists has an interesting romance.
This one's translation seems to have been cancelled at some point, but who knows?
Despite this being a school setting, I can outright state that that fact doesn't get in the way. This game is by Shumon Yuu, and he never focuses on school elements, lol.
Typical AXL fantasy, mixing swords fantasy worlds with SOL and some action. If you like this one, I suggest you try some of the others... if you can read Japanese, lol.
Despite this being a school setting, I recommend it for the abnormal relationships and drama. Even if you only read Ami's ending, it is worth it, lol.
Every single time you really recommend exactly what I would love to read , it's simply not translated !
Well , I do wish that Caramel Box VNs start coming to the west! -
Basically where the romance isn't light. It's all dramatic.
So far VNs I played which seemed like it were WA 2 and Damekoi.
Maybe Shiny Days which I am still playing mainly because I read a thread that Shiny days got plenty of milf heroines. (Manami oof)
Ya that's about it also need that VN to be out in English.
Other than that if yall dont mind recommending something like this too :
1) Not highschool stuff.
2) Examples : Nanarin , Damekoi , WA 2 (CC & CODA)
3) Things to note in the examples none of them are set in a highschool, its either college or working.
Another thing I really love in my VNs is super OP protagonist.
Example - Sharin no Kuni , G senjou no maou , Hello Lady! (isnt out yet but the MC is probably what i am lookin for)
A which combines all of this would be the ULTIMATE VN! hahaha
Also on a side note REALLY loved Evenicle and can't wait for Evenicle 2! -

If you want non-highschool heroines in VNs. there's surprisingly a lot of that. The examples are Katahane, Utawarerumono, Demonbane, Tears to Tiara, and Inganock. If you want in translation VNs, then I'll recommend Eustia, Pure x Connect, and Makeover aka Making Lovers (I seconded it, and apparently Nekonyan determined to have that out at this year). I hope my recommendations here would be helpful to you.
Hey man! Those are some great recommendations! I think I am gonna be reading Eustia. ^^
Thanks ! -
I mean, Sengoku Rance does exist from the same company but it's nothing like Evenicle.
Tbh, in my opinion you and I both, must simply wait for Evenicle 2. -

Nanairo Reincarnation. Except for Kotori, no high schoolers.
Will wait for it to finish translation and play as soon as its out !

I am keeping an eye on all NekoNyan TL projects !
Looking forward to that one and Hello Lady especially.
15 hours ago, adamstan said:Do you want protagonist to be adult/young adult too?
If yes, there's Kazoku Keikaku (Family Project) and Mugen Yasoukyoku /Nocturnal Illusion/ (protag is university student if I remember correctly, although it isn't set in school)
If (some) adult heroines are enough, you can add YU-NO and Crescendo.
Thanks for the various recommendations. I really fancied Crescendo there, but I just can't handle NVL! It's the reason I haven't read fate/stay yet!
4 hours ago, TheMode said:White Album 2 I guess (Introductory is high-school only but it is not the case in the closing chapter)
The writer is also the same as Damekoi
I originally gave Damekoi a spin because it was from the author of WA 2 and SaeKano.
Loved WA 2 CC. Waiting for CODA to finish translation! -
So I recently played Damekoi except the Mitoko route because I was scared but that's not the point.
The point is, I loved the cast of non-highschool going heroines !
So all I want is a VN with adult people. College setting would be fine too.
I really enjoyed the Asami route.
So, basically a VN which doesn't have all the characters going to highschool!
Also please only recommend VNs which have an English TL or are being translated to English! -
Great! This gives me hopes to finally play that game!
-
I have read a lot of VNs with school settings.
I would like my next VN to be either set in college or a work place maybe ?
Thank you. -

I have played several VNs with boring or otherwise tiresome beginnings, that finally turned out to be great, so give it a try
Guess so. Got a huge VN backlog atm tho.
I am going to finish hapymaher before I read anything else. -

I think Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki (SakuSaku) has some really nice drama with all the routes, except for Mio's (I honestly don't remember what happened in her route) . You do get stuff like love triangles and the ilk, but I can't really say much about the drama without spoiling the novel so you'll just have to take my word for it
I have had this one installed on my PC for ages!! Just not been playing it because I remember not liking the very start of this particular VN.

But... that's just uncommon. Usually when you are into a given girl's route, it's all about her. Maybe there's another character if there's a love triangle or a rivalry (like "that girl" in Little Busters).
Bringing extra characters into a route pumps up the playing hours tremendously, so it's unusual.
Well to be honest I am just looking for a replacement of White Album 1.
The setting of that VN goes like the MC being in a relationship already and then xyz happening.
So ya well I am aware of the fact that VNs of that kind are rare but that's why I am looking for them!

I hate to say it, but it is really hard to think up recommendations for stuff this specific that have been tled. One of the reasons I go ahead and list all the ones I can think of including untranslated is so that you have that information (and everyone else does too) if you ever decide to learn Japanese (or it becomes possible to download languages into our brains from the internet).
I plan to get into Machine Learning and AI in the near future. Let's hope that AI can take over tl jobs and make it super fast.
Since google hasn't done it yet we are from it.(probably )
I think about learning Jp a lot but I simply don't have the time!
Thanks for your recommendations man. Always appreciate it !
This thread will definitely help people who are looking for this stuff!

Just now, Clephas said:
Oh, add Soreyori no Prologue to the list of Minori VNs that might fit what you want (it was the one I thought of first, for the way it handles the first part of the game).
Wish Mangagamer starts translating VNs from minori man.

27 minutes ago, Clephas said:
np... to be honest, there just aren't that many VN companies that do that kind of relationship chaos outside of Minori occasionally doing so on a whim. I dunno if it is translated, but I seem to recall Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (a spinoff of the Muv-luv series) having some serious relationship chaos...
Oh I recall watching an anime of the same name.
After a simple google search looks like it does have a English patched VN.
Thanks again!
I have the Muv-Luv series on Steam.
Not started yet because looks like Muv-Luv alternative is the awesome one and you have to play the two mediocre games before it just to understand alternative.
Btw for now I found this randomly on nyaa.
Its more of an eroge and super short

Sekai de Ichiban Dame na Koi
Maybe not precisely what you want: Tsuisou no Augment
Oni ga Kuru
Natsuzora no Perseus
Tsumi no Hikari Rendezvous
It is truly a shame that none of the VNs you mentioned have an English patch yet.
Looks like the first one is getting an official one soon from Mangagamer tho.I'll look forward to that while continuing hapymaher.
Thanks!

I'd recommend you to elaborate on exactly what type of drama you want. Not everyone here played these two games, you know. And are you looking for drama based on romance, or just on human relationships in general?
Drama based on romance. Alright let me elaborate.
The kind of drama where one particular route isn't a one on one deal.
We have our protagonist and other male characters, we have our main heroine and other female characters too.
So when you are playing the route for that particular heroine everything isn't smooth sailing. We have trust issues, love triangles,jealousy and all kinds of negative shit that comes with romance.
In a VN like Hatsukoi 1/1 once you are in the route of a particular girl other female characters are as good as your sister.
On the other hand in WA 2, whatever route you choose its never a one on one affair. -

* ef - a fairy tale of the two really comes to mind (especially the latter tale). That gut punched me harder then Grisaia....
Kind of remember this from the anime. I trust it's a much better story than what the anime was able to portray ?
-
I am talking about the kind of Drama you find in WA 2.
The opposite of stuff like Hatsukoi 1/1.
Thank you. -
I just finished the anime of White Album which I had avoided for a long time but I was in one of those frames of mind where I wanted to see some drama..now I regret it. Nothing in the anime sat well with me and I really want to know what happens in the VN. I know that many of you guys can even read jp so if any of you by any chance has played White Album can you please tell me what happens in the VN!?
I was frustrated with the anime of WA 2 due to its end as well but I go to play its VN up to the closing chapter and CODA is on its way.
Is there any chance of WA 1 ever getting an English TL? Looking at how the raw game is not available anywhere, I doubt it but I have to ask!
Thank you. -

I have read this VN. In one of the routes yes I did end up in a bad end but this is not what I am looking for. Like I want a proper cheating route where there's a plot involved too. This was just getting an NSFW scene with another character and boom bad end. haha
Looking for VNs with Ladder Structure and some things would be a +

Well I guess I should have mentioned that I played it ! :3
Same thing with Sharin no Kuni! Played it!
Really the reveal on the later route is so fucking amazing. Forgot to mention it :3
