''Looking cool Joker!''

Simple yet elegant, I have the same wallpaper on both my screens and I think it looks pretty good even if it's simple. I like having it clean and in order too :3

Welcome back, glad to see you re-joining us

I love a lot of the games on there but I'll say VA-11 HALL-A (absolutely amazing)

Hi there!

My names Tatunaka, although my nickname currently disagrees ;v I used to be a member here like 2 years ago but I wasnt active or anything so I thought Id reintroduce myself.

I havent played vns in a LOOOOOOOOONG time and I want to get back to it so here I am again. 

^.^

Love you all already <3

Glad to see all the love for Asako and Yumiko 

1- It should be noted that, unless you intend to strip out romance altogether, avoiding sexuality itself is impossible.  However, having actual sex scenes in a VN isn't a requirement, when it comes down to it.  That is a Japanese custom born partially from the fact that VNs started with nukige.  It is also the biggest barrier to widening the appeal of VNs in general, which is one of several reasons why most companies make a non-ero version of story-heavy VNs when they get localized (other reasons include legalities, Steam rules, etc) nowadays.  Sexual content in most Japanese VNs tends toward the excessive (even for romance's sake, one is usually enough even in American movies). 
2- The visual novel medium possesses immense potential for storytelling (just look at what Light and Nitroplus do with it).  There should be no limit to the kind of settings and stories that can be presented.  However, if a VN maker wants to sell their game, they have to get past the art bigotry which consumes a large portion of the community first, and that is a huge barrier to justifying the production of 'pure western' visual novels.
3- Not necessarily.  The reasons visual novels are niche primarily come from your question 1 and the death grip the otaku community has one the medium.  Sex puts some people off, causes legal problems at times, and is something a lot of corporations don't want to deal with.  The other part is that roughly 70% of all visual novel fans are otakus (the other thirty percent being a mixture of adventure game lovers who began from stuff like Heavy Rain, people who only play OELVNs, and people who will read anything with a good story).  Otakus dominate the demand in the industry so far, so widening the appeal has remained difficult.  Anyone who wants to spread the appeal of the medium, as opposed to a specific VN, will have to be willing to take the risk of abandoning the otakus altogether and convincing people to invest in something that is entirely Western in flavor... a risk most business people will not be willing to take, unfortunately.  In other words, it isn't impossible but it won't be easy.

Yumiko and NO ONE ELSE! 
Too cute

Best 'heroine' would be Asako.
Best 'main heroine' would be a tie between Sachi and Makina.
My Waifu though would be Michiru. Heck, she's my visual novel waifu, period

If we're counting all the series heroines then: 
1. Michiru
2. Yumiko
3. Asako
4. JB
5. Chizuru
6. Agnes
7. Milliela
8. Sachi
9. Makina
10. Kazuki
11. Amane
I love Amane but given how terrible her route is in the first game with it's pacing and a few other issues, it's hard to separate her character and that really bad character arc. If the issues were more minor and the story a little more interesting then I'd slap her into 5th. But more importantly praise be to the Goddess 

Asako>JB=Kazuki=Yumiko=Amane>Sachi>Michiru=Makina
Yeah I know Asako, JB and Kazuki didn't get routes but i loved those characters [honestly they didn't need routes, their impact and importance in the main storyline was enough for me to love them]. They brought so much depth to story and yuuji's growth, since they 'raised' him and educated him in being the kind of man he ended up becoming. They were essential to him, he literally wouldn't have lived without them or the lessons they instilled in him.
Asako was a magnificent character for me. I liked all the other heroines too though [varying degrees but still liked them all], Grisaia did a splendid job explaining the reasons for their behaviour, thought process and other characteristics. 
Asako was glorious [yes i liked her alot okay! ]

The best heroine is without a doubt Asako. If anyone disagrees they need to reread Meikyuu. 
As for order I would say Asako>JB>Kazuki>Sachi>Yumiko=Amane>Michiru=Makina

Maguroman

My favorite Grisaia girl doesn't have a route: Kusakabe Asako - Yumiko - JB - Michiru - Makina -  Sachi - Amane

Yumiko is the only real answer, all other answers are wrong. Unless Asako's VA counts.

Same.
 

Would expect nothing less from you, no uke or seme for those fujoshi bastards

B-but we're siblings....
