Whatever helps with immersion, which is a little bit of everything, though mostly the story and its characters, I feel. I don't care much about the music or graphics/art, even in games, anime or manga.

Da Capo II and Eien no Aselia. I didn't really like the Da Capo II anime, but the drama and comedy in the visual made me rethink my opinion of the Da Capo franchise in general; in fact, now I'm a Da Capo fanatic. Eien no Aselia was a great SRPG, which I enjoy playing, and the visual novel element made it even better because it offered an immersing story. Sharin no Kuni is an honorable mention.

Circus. Played many vns from them.

The selfless, extremely kind and/or timid characters, or childhood friends.

I'm not a completionist, so I'll just do the routes I enjoy, unless I really loved the visual novel and want to get 100%. For me, there's no point in getting 100% in anything I did not like.

I was really unsatisfied with whom Rin had chosen in the end of the Shuffle! anime, so I wanted to play as him and choose the "right" heroine. Next I moved onto Da Capo and I became hooked on them.

It turned a year this month, I believe.
