What are the best VLR visual novels to start with?

One great NDS visual novel to start with is 'Ace Attorney'. It has an engaging story filled with mystery and interesting characters. The courtroom battles are really exciting and the graphics, although limited by the NDS, are well - done for a visual novel. Another good option is 'Hotel Dusk: Room 215'. It offers a noir - like atmosphere with a deep story that unfolds as you progress through the game.

First, you need to have a good story in mind. Outline the plot, characters, and the different endings you want. Then, you can use software like Ren'Py which is very beginner - friendly. It has a lot of documentation and tutorials available online.

For non - romance visual novels, 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney' is a classic. You play as a defense attorney and solve various cases in a courtroom setting. It's full of humor and interesting mysteries. 'Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 1' also has a great non - romance story. It expands on the Bioshock Infinite universe with a noir - like story. Additionally, 'The Stanley Parable' is a unique visual novel that plays with the concept of choice and narrative in a very creative way.

I would recommend 'The Promise' as a great one to start with. It continues the story after the end of the TV series and has really engaging art and storylines.

Well, 'Fate/hollow ataraxia' is also a worthy pick. It's set after the events of 'Fate/stay night' and expands on the world and characters. There are more slice - of - life elements as well as some deeper exploration of the Fate universe's mysteries, which can be really interesting for someone new to these visual novels.

One of the best first visual novels is 'Clannad'. It has a great story that combines elements of slice - of - life, drama, and a touch of the supernatural. The characters are well - developed and the art style is appealing. Another good option is 'Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc'. It offers a unique mystery - solving experience within a visual novel format, with interesting characters and a gripping plot.

A good way is to start with the more popular ones like those I mentioned before. Since they are popular, there are usually more resources available for understanding the story, such as walkthroughs and character guides if you get stuck. And they often have been translated into multiple languages, making them more accessible.

The 'Danganronpa' series can be considered among the best. It combines mystery, murder investigations and unique characters in a school setting. 'Zero Escape: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors' is also a great visual novel with a mind - boggling plot that involves escape rooms and a complex mystery. 'Ace Attorney' series, although more focused on courtroom drama, has a great story - driven gameplay that makes it feel like a visual novel.

Well, for the best 2015 visual novels, 'STEINS; GATE 0' is excellent. The way it expands on the concepts from the previous installment is really fascinating. The characters are well - written and their relationships are complex. 'Chaos; Child' is also among the best. It presents a very different kind of story compared to other visual novels. It has a strong focus on mystery and the psychological state of the characters. And don't forget 'Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]'. The story is full of action, drama, and has a great deal of fan - service for those who love the Fate universe.

The best visual novels? Well, 'Fate/stay night' is definitely up there. It has a complex story with multiple routes that explore different aspects of the characters and the overall plot. Then there's 'Ace Attorney'. Although it has a different style, it still fits as a great visual novel with its engaging courtroom dramas and memorable characters. 'Katawa Shoujo' is also well - liked for its in - depth exploration of the characters' emotions and relationships.
