There are a number of AVNs I consider good enough to recommend to other people:
5 stars: Crimson High (Simple graphics, very fast dev time, fantastic story, very responsive and understanding dev), DropOut Saga (Amazing story, average dev time, nice graphics), The Inn (Hilarious story, good dev time, nice graphics).
4 stars: New Antioch (Nice graphics and interesting story, inconsistent dev times), Pale Carnations (Beautiful graphics, interesting story, very long dev times, devs never respond to fanbase on itch, body types of the girls are basically the same), Projekt: Passion (Funny story, fairly interesting story, reasonably fast dev times, good graphics).
3 stars: A Foreign World (Nice graphics, responsive Dev, reasonably fast dev times, story is ok), Genex Love 1 + 2 (Simple graphics, cewl story, actual gameplay involved rather than just pick a path choices, frustratingly long or inconsistent dev times).
