Looking for motivation to continue at least one of these many stalled or potentially dropped visual novels

[NowItsAngeTime]

I just realized I have quite a lot of visual novels I've stalled or have been considering dropping and I'd rather finish these before getting more new ones. Just been having trouble getting motivation for any of them. Looking/ hoping for any user to provide me any motivation for any of these VNs to continue because I'd rather not let them go to waste. 

Leyline 1- a lot of people say the second and especially the third game get better. But the first few hours of the first game are  so boring. I can't get past it. I backed the Kickstarter trilogy

Cafe stella- usually previous Yuzusoft despite my complaints with that usually had one heroin that interested me. However, the only one that even kind of interested me is the childhood friend, but all the heroines have just been boring and/or annoying ( that's mostly because Cafe Stella is even more annoying with its calling to protagonist a pervert humor than usual). Cafe setting isn't that interesting either

Clover days- this childhood friend dating sim actually has surprisingly potentially interesting depth even early on. Unfortunately, there's a lot of annoying generic Alcot style early to mid 2000s harem pervert humor that I don't like

Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai - I think I'm like an hour in where there's at least a handful of temporary library club members. The major characters are likeable enough but outside helping one or two people they haven't really stuck out

Hapymaher - this is the only English purple soft VN I've not even read a single route of. The lucid dream theme seems interesting, but none of the characters have been particularly likeable yet, but I don't think I met them all. Maybe like three of them

Nanairo reincarnation- I heard that there's surprisingly good drama, but I just can't get over the stupid setting of demons living in your house thing

Newton in the apple tree- I started the childhood friend route. The VN so far is just been okay at best. The characters are tolerable enough. I wasn't super into the whole fucking up a Newton setting to begin with though

SakuSaku - apparently there's a few solid routes including a incest route that has actual drama. Unfortunately the first hour of the common route is just so boring. The characters are so forgettable

Primal x hearts 2- I only finished Alice Tia's route since she was easily my favorite character. The other Main heroines are decently likable to but I heard that usagi is the only one that actually has a route with actual progression and not just H scene

Study steady- I like the graphics, character designs, and overall presentation, but all four main heroin personalities have been super boring to me, in the common route

Witchs love diary - I think the premise is super interesting. I think I read like a couple hours. I'm only seeing a  few shifts of the various revolving set of characters, none have really stuck out though

Chrono clock - I only finished DD's route and I was heavily disappointed. I heard that the clock rewinding gimmick is heavily underutilized in other routes and the other non-DD heroines haven't particularly interested me

Choi Dengeki Stryker - outside of gogo Nippon which I'm waiting to read before going to Japan. This is the only English overdrive visual novel I have not completed yet. I got to like chapter 5 of the common route despite the setting seem interesting, the characters have just been really boring all around

Farther than the blue sky - the rocket theme looks really interesting. Sadly, the humor is just been really annoying between the main character, the sadistic redhead, the obnoxious childhood friend, and just typical harem style pervert accident shit

Flowers 1 - I've been told that the original flowers has the slowest start and it just gets better as it goes. However, I think I got like a few hours in and it just didn't really hook me but this was also a long time ago

Hello lady! - please tell me the main character stops the dumb groping shenanigans. When he gropes the black hair girl the way beginning that immediately pissed me off. Which sucks because the story seems interesting enough

Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai - I started misa's route. Even as a Moege / slice of life fan. I can't believe how disgustingly boring and slow-paced it is. Which sucks because the characters are decently Likable

Koikari for Love for Hire - I thought the game was enjoyable up until the hasumi Emi Love triangle common route branch started and I thought it got way too melodramatic and the comedy was way less funny. Do their actual routes get better?

Sakuranormi Dreamers - I heard people think this game was disappointing, but I actually kind of sort of liked the common route of what I read so far. I think I recently met Kureha and learned her name. I just haven't been motivated to read for some reason

Wonderful everyday / Subahibi- I think I literally read down the rabbit hole one and just haven't gotten motivation to continue since. Not sure if I'm ready for the philosophy stuff and the dark edgy content yet

Dohna Dohna - of all the alicesoft games, has by far the most interesting setting and characters. However, I just don't want to deal with the game play right now. Is it possible to skip or cheese the gameplay just to get to the story as much as possible? Mostly the whoring out thing. The JRPG stuff I can maybe deal with

That's a lot of complaints... but I'll answer your questions and/or state the attraction or primary audience for each.

Hapymaher- Hapymaher has three things going for it.  1) The soundtrack.  There are maybe three VNs I've read in all my years that have a BGM soundtrack that manages to reach the feet of Hapymaher.  2) The atmosphere that mixes sorrow and despair with the surreality of a dream.  3)  Catharsis: The primary attraction of all nakige is that you can let stuff out by crying vicariously for the characters.  I'll be blunt, if you don't do this, you have no business playing or assessing nakige at all.

Nanairo Reincarnation- Nanairo Reincarnation mixes bloody horror, everyday life, and nakige elements into a single story.  If you are getting hung up on the oni (oni are not truly demon analogues despite what some careless translators think), you probably are obsessing over the wrong thing.  If you care about the oni issue so much, I'll go ahead and note what they actually are (which you have to finish the old girlfriend's path to find out).  Check the spoiler box if you want to: 

Spoiler

First, oni in this setting are the same as ghosts at the core.  The fundamental differences are that: 1) They can inflict their physical presence upon the world to some extent, 2) They need sustenance to sustain their self-awareness 3) They are bound to their master through a contractual obligation.  That family's oni are essentially shards of the current head's spirit combined with shards of the source oni's spirit to create a new oni, with the blood or semen used to create them serving as a physical catalyst for them to be able to interact with the physical world.  The founder of the family was an onmyouji who couldn't bear to let go of his wife's ghost, so he bound her using a technique that turned her into an oni.  All oni from then on originate from her as the original oni, passed down through the generations in the same manner as the beginning of this story.  Last of all, the reason most oni die with their master is that it is the only way to properly return their souls to the wheel of reincarnation.  If they are left free, they are damned to eventually fade away or turn into dark spirits like some ghosts do.

Chrono Clock- Purple Soft has two types of stories, one where you are primarily supposed to cry over the characters' plights and be freed by them overcoming them or solving the problem, and the other where there is some kind of central story that doesn't focus on emotional catharsis.  Chrono Clock is solidly in the latter area.  TBH, to this day I don't understand why Chrono Clock got priority for localization when Purple Soft had so many better games, but as weaker plotge go it is one of the better ones.

Hello Lady- To answer your question, he does the groping thing to every girl once.  He also obsesses over oppai no matter what, but no matter the path he becomes more serious and focused once you get to the first turning point (after the party, when you end up rapidly making choices to direct to a heroine path).

Oooh... I think I can say you important thing. You shouldn't force yourself to play games you don't want (you are lazy, don't have motivation or just lost interest in them). Just drop them. Believe me, your time is most precious thing. You can spend it on other things that you currently like, enjoy etc!
