Try Sharin no Kuni and G-senjou no Maou. They both have H-scenes but that's like 95% of VNs. I don't think you can be picky about it especially when the story is so good.

Steins;Gate and Little Busters are about the best ways you can start, really. I share your sentiments about no sex scenes being preferable because they are awful and almost always poorly written/laughable in the VNs. Sharin no Kuni is quite good too but it unfortunately has bad sex scenes as well.

Key VNs are always good =D.

Has no one recommended the Muv-Luv series? Madness.

THIS... is so true !

Well, i'll give u some.
Muv-Luv series (as already said).
Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-
Kira☆Kira
Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai! (not really drama, but it's a good vn ^^)
Remember11 -the age of infinity- (not drama either, but REALLY GOOD)
Saya no Uta (Not for every one, that's for sure)
Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo
Swan Song
G-senjou no Maou
Kanon
Clannad
Little busters

Some of them don't really fit your criteria, but those are all good vn.
Go here : http://vndb.org/ , it's a vn database, that's all u need to find vns / translations.

Try Narcissu.
It's a touching visual novel, with a voiced option and a beautiful soundtrack.
No H-Scenes, but it is a bit short (about two hours in length.)
The story is beautiful though and is very bittersweet.
Most importantly, it is legally free, and you could download here http://narcissu.insani.org/down.html.
Just in case you'd want to know, it was made in 2005.

Anything by Key.
G-senjou no Maou or Sharin no Kuni
Definitely Kara no Shojujo.
And Muv Luv Series is dramatic and serious.



(School Days I would recommend if you don't mind all the H scenes) Very Dramatic and serious.

Im totally gonna necro this thread.

You might enjoy Rewrite (by key)

oh and also Kara no Shoujo
Deardrops if you're into rock music
