Right, it's about whether or not people die if they are killed.

One thing I notice about all your suggestions is their covers have anime girls plastered all over them.

I don't like F/SN myself (never got myself to finish it), but you don't look like you'd take my word for it if I don't give some English examples. The fact remains the choices in that game are entirely plot-focused. I hope you're satisfied.

Almost all VNs are either character or romance focused (most of the examples I gave aren't, but almost all have it), and featuring the heroines on the cover tends to sell (note how Steins;Gate, FS/n, Phantom of Inferno, http://vndb.org/v382=generic example no.16, Umineko, Higurashi have anime girls on the cover - all those have anime adaptations, go ahead and watch them). If you're trying to say this means they're porn you're thicker than a brick.

Steins;Gate has the male protagonist on the cover. Umineko also has the male protagonist up there as well as almost every main character in the show. These are the exact references I used as an example of visual novels which aren't porn. It's only natural they'd be the ones not covered in anime girls while all the other ones are.

Male protagonist on the cover <=> not porn.

Nice logic.

(Actually, most of the VNs I linked you to have a version with a male protagonist on it, but if it isn't on the vndb page it just means that's a different release - which is exactly the case with Steins;Gate. I count about five VNs from those I linked you to have a male protag on the cover, too, not counting S;G. But your argument is so mindfuckingly retarded I'm not sure why I even mention this.)

If you want to go down that route, be my guest. I'm just gonna sit here and be amused by the fact cute anime girls are what sell these things and the people who eat it all up might not or refuse to realize this fact.

Notice how ad hominem would mean I'm personally attacking you (I'm calling your argument stupid, not you). Also notice how not only you've yet to come up with a plausible argument, you've yet to refute a single one of mine. I've given you ample examples of "VNs with plot", I'm not sure what else is left to discuss. You look like you're just disagreeing with me out of spite/because you don't want to admit you have it wrong.

Nope, I believe furiously calling someone's argument poop when you can't refute it is close enough. It's a lot like saying, "Fuck it." and walking away.

Okay, I won't be infuriated by your argument and call it poop. Now where is your argument? Because my RAEG notwithstanding, I simply don't see what's left to discuss here. Were 20 examples unsatisfactory? Do I need to find 20 examples of games with a male protagonist on the cover now? I just don't see why you still think what you do. You don't even have an argument.

Here are some suggestions

Rainbow rokubo no shinchin
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Deadman Wonderland
Gantz
Code Geass
Durarara
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai(The World God Onlys Knows)
Negima
Hayate the combat butler

These are all great anime! They aren't as well known as Naruto or Bleach, But they are fairly known.

Rainbow is the only one that is the least known on the list and its my personal favorite.

I have seen every one of those except Negima, and since i agree that all of those anime are good, I may have to look at negima :O

Rainbow.. grrr i was so angry around ep 12 i believe.
