The only caveat is that this is a "kinetic novel" (no branches/choices). I generally recommend more interactive VNs for first-timers, but if you don't mind the concept it's definitely a good story to read.
Plan is to focus on Stella of the End this weekend, then go for another VN/side-game pair... but haven't decided yet which ones.
For VN I'm leaning towards one of Atri, Witch on the Holy Night or Silver Case 2425, while for side-game I'm leaning towards either Gal Guardians or Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus.
Yeah, I like to read, and it sounds like an interesting concept. Also no branches means no need to replay 😀
Both Gal Guardian and Bo are on my wishlist. I am more interested in Bo than Gal Guardians though, so will vote for that. On the other hand, if I had to pick for myself, I mostly play from older to new, I would go for Gal Guardians first.
As for VN, unless I am confusing it with some other, I have heard you mention Witch on the Holy Night before a few times, so I would say it's about time you play that, but going by the pictures my recommendation will be Silver Case 2425.
I hope that was enough to confuse you a little bit more.
Most (sadly not all) VNs do a good job minimizing repetition when replaying for alternative routes/endings. Fast-skipping text already read, highlighting choices you already took, or even having a flowchard so you can skip to branching points.
Silver Case 2425 looks really interesting! It's a pair of old VNs from Suda 51.
But I think I'll go for Atri first, mainly because it's the shortest of the three.
