Not a VN, but I played Lust Epidemic to start off with, and i didnt like the gameplay aspect as much as the "h-scene" aspect.
Started heavily researching into VN's afterwards 🤤 Summertime Saga or Milfy City were my first actual VNs
I usually do the good route first to see if I like the game. Usually because the good route has less content and is quicker.
I enjoy the evil routes more though typically 😈
