Sugina Miki (real name Aoki Fumio). Hands down.
Stunning, detailed style that especially complements IG's horror titles. I'm proud to own an artbook of theirs.

To have a waifu... there comes a time when you're reading a VN, or maybe a manga, or watching naughty tentacle-rape videos, when a particular two-dimensional girl stands out to you. Maybe it was her overly large, impossibly colored purple eyes; or how she dropped her tsundere attitude to show she had feelings; or maybe how she was able to engulf a man's penis in the valley of her enormous anime tiddies while still being amazed at how big it was... but something clicked. She stopped just being a two-dimensional girl. You needed her in your life. You wanted her bikini CG as your laptop's wallpaper. Her voice as a notification tone on your cell phone, panting "oh onii-chan" whenever you got a text about a sale at Whole Foods. You desired her visage on a body pillow, with a cute, scantily clad side and a lewd almost naked side. You knew that was the two-dimensional girl that held your heart and groin above all others.
That's when you have a waifu.

I feel like it's kind of pointless to offer a recommendation without having any idea what you like. Without any information about you, my recommendation is to go to VNDB, sort by rating, and play the top one you haven't played yet. That'd be Umineko, apparently, which I haven't actually played yet
On the other hand, if you fill out a VNDB page and link it via your profile, or if you just say some of what you like, then people can offer a tailored recommendation. It also would be good to know if you're wanting more of the same stuff you've already played and liked (which is usually the case) or to try something different (which I personally rarely feel like doing, but sometimes has very positive results, which is why I do the monthly VN club).

Me:
The main reason I play a Visual Novel is because of the art. If there's a waifu material girl in the said Visual Novel, and she's one of the main heroines that you can do H with, then I'll definitely play it. 
The second main reason is story and character. I mostly play utsuge and nakige, which purpose is to make players get emotionally attached to the character in the VN, and eventually leading the player to an emotional breakdown in the end. So that kind of storyline is of great importance to me.

VISUAL NOVELS \  /
I like them better because they have a better designed waifu than animes. 
And they are in a first person perspective, which has the realism of the player being the protagonist and do H stuff to them waifus.
And....Yeah, more like you are the person in the VN rather than being a third party perspective.

Coeus Corrupt (Ko-wus)
 
Pantheon: Greek
 
Age: 1482
 
Height: 14' or 19' standing
 
Fighting Style: Soul Leeching
 
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 
FANTASY In the bowels of a long lost Anunnaki burial chamber roams the Titan Coeus. He once was the most intelligent Titan to ever exist and was the most likely to succeed at developing humanity in the outside world. Fate was cruel to him though as his curiosity got the best of him. Nun warned all the ancient bloodlines of the three dominant spirits that were sent to Earth with him. Nun possessed one but the other two were lost in the crash landing of his ship. Coeus searched for years for relics of the long lost Sirius ship and did not heed the warning of Nun to notify him immediately if they ever were to be discovered. When he touched the relic, the spirit within it infused with his core, causing him to fall into madness. He tried to fight the urge for a time but eventually it took over and he killed an Anunnaki by draining it of its soul. Uranus, his father, intervened on his behalf when Marduk seeked vengeance. Marduk did not trust Uranus to honor his word though and negotiated the terms of his punishment. The Annunaki would build a cursed facility under the ground which would keep him imprisoned for eternity with special sigils that drained his power. He is forever roaming these halls waiting for the day he can be free to feed again.
 
HISTORY Coeus is of the Greek pantheon, known as the Titan of rational intelligence. He fathered many children and was considered a positive Titan. In the Titanomachy (The war between Titans and Olympians,) he was overthrown and imprisoned for an eternity in Tartarus (Hell.) unlike the other Titans, he went mad in his imprisonment and broke free of his chains in an attempt to escape but failed in his attempt.
 
THEORY We decided to change the timeline a bit and tie his historical madness into his inquisitive nature. We liked the tragedy of an intelligent and benevolent Titan falling from grace due to his lack of wisdom. By showing his fall, we make him more relatable and also incorporate cross pantheon relationships between the Anunnaki and the Titans. This allows us to create vivid lore that mixes the two worlds and enriches the story of a mad god who was once a benevolent saint.


Full blown critiques plz. This is a rough of the Coeus concept which will be properly rendered at a later date. The image is the scale.
 

Shinsekai Yori is quite good, in your position I'd personally go for that above all else.

Nakige (has a happy/mostly happy end)
Ashita ga Harenaraba
Hapymaher (sort of)
Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no
Manatsu no Yoru no Yukimonogatari
Hana no No ni Saku Utakata no
Sakura, Sakimashita
Mirai Nostalgia
Sekai to Sekai no Mannaka de
Kono Sekai no Mukou de
1/2 Summer
Timepiece Ensemble
Utsuge (most or all ends are either 'normal' or 'bad'/sad/bittersweet ends)
Eden*
Konata yori Kanata Made
Boku ga Tenshi ni natta Wake
Houkago no Futekikakusha
Natsu no Owari no Nirvana
Satsukoi
Kami no Ue no Mahoutsukai
Dekinai Watashi ga, Kurikaesu
Hotel.
Rakuen no Shugosha
 
Edit: For despair, no other VN has ever managed it like Houkago no Futekikakusha, in my mind...
For sorrow in utsuge, I take Konata yori Kanata Made anyday
For nakige... Hapymaher
 

i was literally just typing that
 
i can't really determine the boundary between plot and no plot
you could try it yourself, it's not that long

It seems that if Aselia the Eternal sells well on Steam JAST USA may think about going back and adding a patch for the h-content to be put back in.
Jan 27 @ 4:39pm H-Version I'm aware that all english versions are without H-scenes. Will there ever be a version with the missing H-scenes because Eien no Aselia -The Spirit of Eternity Sword- and Eien no Aselia Expansion -The Spirit of Eternity Sword- both cointain H-scenes. Hopefully you will release a patch or a full version (missing H-scenes are missing content so no full game, even if they are unimportent and/or forced). Showing 1-15 of 15 comments   JAST USA  [developer] Jan 27 @ 6:54pm  It's definitely possible, just not something we're currently working on for Aselia. With the version on Steam of course it is the non-H version. After we're finished with releasing Seinarukana, we'll revisit Aselia and its H content.

Well, there's Narcissu. The OP is....kinda sad and quite melancholic to hear to, knowing full well of the story. And for a free game like that, quite a great VN that Stage-nana has made. Go watch the OP on the Steam Store or something.

Never tell me the odds.

Here's my entry:

Sorry. Here's the real entry:
Okay, okay. Here's my actual, actual entry:
 

I admit when I saw the title of this thread, I grabbed my car key and thought ‘yes I agree with you – this key IS a joke! Look how fat it is, and all these useless buttons.’ But then I realise you were talking about Key the VN company.
And I completely agree with you there, also. The only Key VN I actually liked was Kanon, and I’m anticipating Angel Beats to be pretty lacklustre
…
Then you started talking about figures, which I have no knowledge about. But did you just say the bigger figure was ‘cheaper’? Hmmm … what’s the catc-WHOA! 20,000 yen?!

If my waifu was real she wouldn't be my waifu. Dragging 2D characters to 3D is the worst one can do. Waifus should only exist in our imagination.

CONFESSION: For various reasons, Feb 4 this year was really a bummer kind of day. So to all those who took the time to wish me a happy birthday, it really brightened my day up a lot. So thanks @12kami @Deep Blue @Flutterz @Dergonu @ヤミハナ (Ooooh, VC waifu) @Nashetania (yeah, we're still cool, Reaps) @Kiriririri (half naked Sakura is ALWAYS acceptable) and @Shikomizue.
And to the rest of the board, I'm just glad you're here as well. This has become a part of my daily routine and sometimes, it really gets me through the day.

Onii-chan, I find your advices to be meaningful in life and has taught me better on how to steal more of people's waifus.
