| No visual novel's ever made me cry before, and this one just did. And I'm not even to the truly depressing part yet. |

Oh man don't worry. You're not the only one.
My first Otome game was The Second Reproduction, and I got the bad ending to my favorite character. I couldn't replay the game for weeks because it was that sad.

Holy-
...Now Usami's crying. I wonder what path I'm currently on. I'll probably look up a walkthrough after I finish it. |

Oh my God, Usami's hilarious. Even in her first scene.
And here come the waterworks, part two. I don't know what to think about Gonzou now. |

| Yup. Took me at least 90 to go through all of Rewrite (by Key, the company that brought you Clannad and Angel Beats, among others), and at least the same amount of time to read the first half of When the Seagulls Cry. |

Yup. You generally get a lot more reading time for your money with a good visual novel than you do a good book. I think visual novels are the superior format, but you can't beat the portability and the ability to be made by a single person of paper. There are a bunch more good books than there are visual novels.
There's also the fact that I like my third-person stories, too, and the only visual novel I can think of that I've read and that sort of fits the bill is When the Seagulls Cry, but even that's kind of iffy because it has its first-person portions, too. |

| It's also got a few 18+ scenes, but, if you don't care for them, the group that fan-translated the game also provides an additional patch to be installed on top of the translation patch that removes all that stuff. |

I honestly think I've played too few to really say one is my true favorite, but if I must say, it's probably...
The Devil on a G-string, actually. It's the most recent one I've read, so that may be playing a factor in it, but still - I don't think I've enjoyed a VN as much as this one before. If it can't count, then Grisaia no Kajitsu.
Here's a list of the ones I've played to completion: Grisaia no Kajitsu Hoshizora no Memoria Rewrite When the Seagulls Cry/Umineko no Naku Koro ni (but not Chiru) Wheel Country, Sunflower Girl/Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo (still need to read its fandisc, though)
I've got a bunch more on my list: Steins;Gate (THANK YOU FOR SELLING IT IN ENGLISH, JAST!) Muv-Luv (all three) Kanon Air Clannad Little Busters Cross Channel Forest Tsukihime, it's fandisc, and it's sequel Fate/Stay Night and Hollow Ataraxia Katahane Period Shikkoku no Sharnoth Symphonic Rain ...and probably a few more I'm forgetting/don't have in the text file on my computer that I use to keep track of titles I'm interested in. |
