Corrupted

Since you already decided to play Fata Morgana, I'll just say that hopefully you'll have fun play it later. Also in regard of Rance, seeing that one scenes was quite disturbing to you perhaps it would be wise to stay away from Rance there, considering that he like to rape the woman quite often and without reason other than it's cute/beautiful lol - there's also a lot of surprising (Evenicle Ch. 6 punishment labour) sex scenes like that at Rance.

I would say that the OP here is already opening the Pandora Box in regard of the community here by mentioning Mare, but I guess there's no use to crying over the spill milk here. Anyway, in regard of good loli I guess it would be hard to do since some people might not agree in regard of the choice. That said, there's some VNs with loli that I can recommend here. And those loli characters were Kurokawa Kirara from Yumina the Ethereal, Yubana Mayuki/Mayu Mayu from Comyu, and Alice Bedford from Newton VN. I hope that my recommendations will be helpful here, albeit a bit late.

I should probably read Morgana as well one day ^^. If you want to try an easy one, from what is listed in this topic i think you should go for Favorite's games first. I didn't read them but i feel they might be easier to read than others and this is the company that made hoshimemo so...
As someone said earlier in the thread, games with Shinku : https://vndb.org/c1793

I don't make a huge distinction between 3d art and 2d art, beyond making the obvious observation that most 3d art sucks.
2d art versus real porn aka 3d world live action porn - I'd say 2d porn is much more accessible and efficient. I can google what I want and have it and be done and it won't take all night. 3d porn, while potentially reaching greater heights of awesome than 2d porn ever could, requires 10x the time and effort to search through to find the good parts. The longer my life, the more live action porn I've fapped to, the more specific and demanding my tastes become, and the more effort and open tabs and hours out of the night it takes before I'm satisfied. Not efficient. But I can search some hentai and be done in 10 minutes. After all, anime girls can do things real girls can't...at least not without searching REAL HARD on the internet to find rare instances when they do ^_^.
2d/internet porn in general vs real life relationships - yet another balancing equation of maximum result versus efficiency. Real life sex, the "best of the best everything you've ever wanted with someone you love and think is hot" kind is exponentially better than any porn experience. However, the effort and time investment is also exponentially greater, and you have to deal with the excruciating fallout of what happens after the honeymoon period is over and sex/love starts dying off, or you breakup and/or get heartbroken for any other reason. In contrast, I read a VN, fall in love over a couple dozen hours, then get bored with that heroine and move on without being an evil person. In real life when I get bored of someone in 2 years (as I always do) it's tragic and makes me the bad guy.

I'd say my perfect plan is to have several real life relationships so I can have experiences that allow me to deeply connect with the romantic themes of VNs then just enjoy VNs forever. Yush. This is what I'm doing.

Score! As long as there'a at least one person that reads my little self-conscious play-diary, then I am validated in my spam. Thanks!

Yeah I've learned my lesson on pushing through on recommended games many times over. CLANNAD took me SO many tries to actually get through my first playthrough, then became the mindblowing, lifechanging experience that got me into VNs. Just recently, Ever17 bored me and frustrated me...then I got to the end and it laughed in my face for ever doubting it. 
I'm procrastinating on Fate Morgana by finishi Evenicle and Nekopara atm. Nekopara rubs my heart in a very special, unexpected way...every time a completely dependent cat girl asks me for money for a vending machine or permission to walk to the back of a store and look at something my BDSM Dom's heart goes aflutter. And Evenicle is imply the best turn-based JRPG style game I have ever played. Years after I swore off that medium, here I am actually going out of my way to explore everything and get into unnecessary combat because the game is so fun and rewarding. My only complaint is that I can't keep up with Aster - my refractory period is longer than his, so I can't keep up with the pace of the sex scenes!
I suppose I am too scared to look up recommended play orders but...I regret doing G-String wrong. I WOULD like recommendations when the play order is super necessary to the experience. Really hard for me to determine that that's the case ahead of time without risking spoilers, you know? Sounds like I should at least also concern myself with Hapymaher, like you said. Perhaps I'll make a post later to research what people think are necessary play orders.

Believe me, it gets way more engaging down the line. I also had to force myself though at first, but then, a few hours in, I became really engaged. Now it's one of my top 5 VNs.
Most people do, btw. I personally try to at least check if there is something like a recommended route order for a VN I want to read. A lot of VNs don't enforce the order of the routes, even if one route basically spoils another one. I just recently found myself in a similar situation where I was reading Hapymaher and accidentally chose an option leading to the true end on my second playthrough, and I ended up spoiling an important plot point.
Oh, and I'm not very active on this forum recently, so I'm almost always late to reply, but I just want to say that your playthroughs are rather interesting to follow.

Alright I'm saying this poll is finished because we actually have something that's significantly ahead and I don't want to wait too long and that to change!

The House in Fate Morgana is the winner! Going to start it tonight!
I hope this pleases @Funyarinpa - this game only got on my radar because they talked it up in the previous poll thread.
I suppose I'll use this thread to spoiler thoughts on playing the game for anyone that's interested in sharing my first run experience just as I did for Ever17 - instead of creating yet another thread and more spam.

Created this thread because I saw you reading Consider Phlebas in your signature, @Funyarinpa, and suddenly got reminded of the existence of my favorite sci fi series. Didn't want to get too off-topic discussing non-VN things in that thread so I made this one instead

I just played Nekopara 1 for the first time two days ago. I'm horrified. It's like the ultimate objectification of women. They're intellectually inferior, children, dependents, sex objects, they don't have goals or ambitions that conflict with your own, their job is to smile and be cute, they are suited to be your lover, play partner, free labor, whatever you want to buy them for, they're just playthings that have no agency whatsoever and they're custom designed to love, lust for, and worship you. They're the realization of the image that oppressed women across the world are forced into reflecting. They're disposable daughter wife sex slaves, and the entire world around them just treats it as normal. It makes me so sick.

Also, I came buckets and my heart grew three sizes that day. I can't wait to play the sequels.

Yay! \o/
Sincerely hope you enjoy Fata Morgana. 
Probably for the best to go in blind, but let me know if you want to check out a content warning list.

Indeed. From my time lurking around I can more or less give you a stamp of good taste. Yay.

If only DC wasn't so tragically annoying to navigate...yeah I think DC series is the only time I "skipped" through, ever. That and if I ... finish too quickly with a hentai scene, then I got skip through and get out of there before i get horrified at 30 minutes of terrible pointless dialogue. (Looking at you If My Heart Had Wings)
I seriously gotta give you a squint for not finishing CLANNAD and doing the Afterstory completely. I went into that shit blind, as my very first long VN, and it rocked my world. Right after I was double rocked by Tomoyo After - a fantastic entry into VN land for me!
If we're also listing "VN Regrets" I have two more that are bugging me.

Even Worse, MLA
 
Also, I started up The House in Fate Morgana tonight, but I'm like whoa not sure at all what to make of it yet. Waaaaay different than anything else I've played. Will probably have to force myself a little to get used to something new, as I usually have to.

For me Sakura was the best girl, but only when you're not having relationships with her. I mean - it was very interesting to read her story, both in DC1 and DC2, and she's great as that type of character. But for romance i like others more - "big three" i mentioned in DC2 and Alice, Mako and Moe in DC1.

You're not obligated to finish if you don't want to) And challenge accepted:
1. I never got to Clannad: After Story. I followed walkthrough and finished 8 or 9 routes with 2 or 3 left in the first part of the game. And the last one i finished was Ichinose Kotomi - my favorite girl here and one of the most favorite ever. And after her route (that was really emotional and very touching for me) the next one in order was Fuka's route... And i just managed to read only a bit, then stopped... Because just didn't feel it in me to continue after Kotomi's route which i liked very much and which was, as i've already mentioned, very emotional. So didn't touch the game again since then.
2. I didn't 100% finish DC Plus Communication - didn't read Kudo and Nanako's routes. I just wanted to read only 3 girls' routes in that version - Misaki, Tamaki and Alice (with latter turned out to be my fav girl). Then, after fav one, didn't feel to continue...
3. In DC2 i "very fluently skipped" through Otome, Yume and Nanaka's routes, cuz didn't care about them in the slightest. Only top 3 counted. Anzu twice.
Well, it was some years ago and since then i didn't do something like that as to not 100% finish the VN. But, on the other hand, i didn't choose to read VNs when there were heroines which i don't so care about or anything... There was one in G-Senjou no Maou, but still - it all was so built-in into story, that i didn't want to skip. Even the thought of that didn't cross my mind. Don't think i'll ever do that again.

So you had to play through the entire game just to get to that image at the very end for the final unlockable character - I'm guessing. That's some top shelf trolling.

@cro-mag
Finally finished Ever17 and these are my thoughts:
 
 
I also just want to say thank you to everyone that voted Ever17 and Planetarian. They were SO GOOD.

Yes but also on Discord

Just do it. Learning Japanese was the best decision I have ever made. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
 
P.S. PM me if you want advice.

You could just leave it like that)) Anyway, glad you liked it.

Don't worry I talk to him daily

Please forgive my walls of text. As a career Data Analyst, this is simply how I perceive and digest the world around me. Inevitably, it also affects how I communicate.

The last poll was successful and useful to me! I had Planetarian as a winner and Ever17 as a runner up. I cried buckets for Planeterian - It was such a perfect story and easily my top favorite VN of such small length. Despite being pissed at the excruciatingly slow navigation of Ever17 (wasting hours of my life waiting for it to skip so I can try again and fail to get a good ending) I can easily see why everyone thinks it's one of the best. What a ride. EDIT: The ending redeems everything. Thus I have removed my formerly blasphemous words about the game.
 
This new list includes suggestions I had from before: 
-Ayakashibito, Symphonic Rain were suggested because I thought Mare from Hoshimemo was precious (Thanks @Zakamutt). 
-The House in Fate Morgana was suggested by @Funyarinpaas an important VN that was omitted from @Kaguya's list that I rely on, due to being translated afterward the list was made.
-D.S. -Dal Segno- was suggested by @r0xm2n as having a good AI waifu.
-Zanmataisei Demonbane, Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer were suggested by @Nier as having some good robo waifus.
-Sekien no Inganock, Ourai no Gahkthun - For the caretaker vibe, suggested by @ChaosRaven
-Sharin no Kuni - for the caretaker vibe, as suggested by  @Tamaki Sakura 
 - Maitetsu - was suggested for a caretaker vibe by @Plk_Lesiak and I think I saw it mentioned by a couple other people for other reasons that I might like it.
 
Whew, I think that's enough for now. There were other suggestions that weren't English translated, I couldn't find a way to download from my usual source, or I just ran out of patience when formatting this list so I didn't get to it. Thank you everyone for your input!
