if you "Really" that new to visual novel, try this first :

>Katawa Shoujo (slice of life)

>Saya no Uta (gore, horror)

>Nekopara (slice of life, maid)

reasons :

three of them have something similar, light story and romance. You can easily comprehend the story.

let me get straight to the point of each story :

katawa shoujo, about disabled kids

so, yeah, you play as protagonist (well of course) that got arrhythmia, a rare heart condition that causes his heartbeat to sometimes become irregular

then transfer to school only for disabled kids.

saya no uta, surgery makes his perception of world changes

imagine you're living in shitty world (literally), full of organs and extremely unpleasant stench. That's how the protagonist perceive the world.

and suddenly there's only 1, human-looking, at least that's what he perceive her.

nekopara, humanoid-cat daily life

well, this one is for soothe your heart, the mischievous act of them are what makes the story

seriously, this one really calming visual novel.
