Getting into Visual Novels eh? I've played at least over 50 myself, I would recommend playing Grisaia no Kaijitsu or Kono Sora Ni Tsubasa Wo Hirogete, especially the later one.
It's a mess to get it working in it's proper adult patch but it's worth the hassle.
This is my first (sort of) Visual novel... If you don't count Doki Doki Literature Club. but hey it's alright! It's good to just sometimes sit down in front of your screen and then just let yourself simmer down in a narrative like this!
I'll add those titles to my wishlist too so I'll let you know when I go through them!
