Fate/Stay Night was my first visual novel I read. It introduced me to how story-based VNs could go... and the concept of H-scenes in an otherwise serious story. It's interesting how the series has become such a money printing machine. Sakura/Heaven's Feel is my favorite.

While the visual novel is an overall classic, there where things? I was not a fan of like a lot of the characters and the pacing, especially towards the beginning.
