My first VN was Tsukihime. Despite the low production values, I really enjoyed it and Kagetsu Tohya. And after a lifetime of searching, I finally found F/SN and enjoyed that a great deal as well, and am now spending yet another long time looking for the voice patch and hollow ataraxia. I'm also hype for Mahoutsukai no Yoru now that it has an actual release date.
I've also played Katawa Shoujo, and enjoyed it a great deal as well. I'd be interested in seeing more independent VNs like that, both western and Japanese.
I haven't played it, but I watched a playthrough of Saya no Uta and have been interested in getting it myself, so I'll probably get it when JAST USA releases it. I'm also hoping that they get Steins;Gate. I loved the anime, so I'm sure I'd have a good time with the original VN.
