Here are my favorite VNs, in order of how much I liked them:
MuvLuv: It seriously is a very good VN. MuvLuv Extra is like your generic highschool romantic comedy, which basically introduces the characters (kinda). Then you go to MuvLuv Unlimited, which introduces the REAL setting (kinda). You have probably heard me talk about the setting before, but basically the Harem Main Character from MuvLuv Extra wakes up in an alternate reality one day, where most of the population is dead, and Humanity is fighting a losing war against the invading alien BETA. MuvLuv Alternative is where things get reallllyyy good. The contrast and changes the main character goes through between Extra and Alternative are really good, not to mention the setting is really cool IMO. Very high production value for a VN too.

Ever17: This VN isn't mecha omg. Its actually kinda hard to describe its actual genre, maybe someone else can. But the premise is a group of people are stranded in an underwater facility, and they have to escape before everything dies. The last route, Coco's Route, is AMAZING, your mind will be blown, and bricks will be shat.

Fate/Stay Night: Kinda hard to decide if I like FSN more than Tsukihime. Anyway, FSN is one of the big VNs that everyone should read. The routes are decent length, the story is pretty good, and various characters inspire fanboys around the world. You probably have heard of it, IDK if you have read it. Its much better than the anime and movie. MUCH better.

Tsukihime: Another popular VN that everyone should read. Lots of good characters, although this is sometimes counter acted by a character everyone hates (Curry), and some boring ass shit routes like Curry's Route or Hisui's Route. However, the routes that aren't those 2 make up for it, and it is really good.

So how would one go about reading a VN? Obviously, I have to go dl it somewhere, so what would be the best sites for that? And since I know zero Japanese, I would be limited to the ones that are translated right? Oh god, I hope I don't get into VNs (mainly because of how it's even more time consuming than anime) but I would be willing to try out the best ones.

I was downloaded the first 3 eps but i didn't watch it. It just sat on my computer, I heard it was good, but i was too lazy. I check one of the spoilers with the screenshot of that chick whose name i have forgotten. Christina?. and i went "hmm looks decent" and since i was bored out of my mind i decided to watch it. Yay for summer break.

Haha I always have trouble remember names when I marathon. I guess it's because you don't really do any thinking about the characters between episodes and just mindlessly watch. Her name is supposed to be Kurisu but Kyouma adds in "tina" and then it becomes akin to "Kuristina" aka Christina. She's definitely my favorite character of the series

Oh thats where he got Christina from. Lol
I feel that the problem with marathon-ing(?) Is that unless it is really really really good, i tend to forget it quickly. Like 1 week between each episode lets me "savor" it and really think about it. I think it is especially important for SG, since its sorta that type of "thinking anime". Since I marathoned it, i have to let it sink in, the epicality of what i just watched. lolol

VNs ?
I highly recommend Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. It's pretty long (8 episodes, and each can easily take up to 10-15 hours, especially if you start theorizing about everything), and incredibly awesome, especially if you like mystery. It starts pretty slowly, the first episode really being a big big introduction to the situation the characters are in, but starting at the second episode, it becomes incredibly eventful.
There was an anime a couple of years ago, and it roughly covered the first 4 episodes, but it was FAR (REALLY FAR) from the depth and great general environment of the VN.
On top of the story and the depth of the characters, what I really love about Umineko is the music. There are dozens of tracks and a great majority of them are awesome and extremely fitting to what is happening.
Seriously, if you're bored or something, go read Umineko. It's almost fully translated in English as well, but the last episode will also be finished pretty quickly from what I understand. :o

I thought Natsume Yuujinchou San was completely boring and I could see myself dropping it very soon.

Kamisama Dolls on the other hand kept me quite interested throughout. The lead seems to be a bit of a little shit, but even so I remain interested.

I maintain my stance that people should be weary of KamiDoll, because the manga is ongoing and I can't see the anime ending well. Main character has reasons, by the way.

Also, the mangaka blows at endings, so that's another problem.
