I also play Visual Novels. Take a look. T_T

"Time is the cruelest kindness" Yuuko Kouzuki (Muv Luv)
Takeru's endgame speech (MUV LUV), translated below.
I had a dream.
A dream of people living innocently, without knowing the meaning of peace.
I had a dream.
A dream of people risking their lives and living for the sake of protecting something.
I think...only God knows which it was.
But I still ask myself...was there something I could've done?
I wonder, was that why I came to this world in the first place?
If this was my unavoidable destiny,
then what exactly was I to this world?
Sad partings...the fate of humanity...and my own...
I still wonder if I could've changed them.
If I'd had a strong will to protect what I was meant to protect...from the start...
Then maybe there was something only I could've done.
I think there was.
So...so...
At the very least...I'll live on...and try to protect everything.
I want to survive and protect this planet everyone gave up on.
I think I can do that.
The people left behind...the feelings left behind...the people I love...
I'll protect them all with my life.
I should be able to do something.
There must be something.
Humanity won't lose.
I'll never lose.
Because...I'm here...
Because...I'm...still here..

I highly recommend Saya no Uta, btw. Unless you absolutely detest dark stories in general, you should be able to enjoy the twisted romance of this VN. It essentially got me interested in trying out other VNs.
As for what to read next, you can't go wrong with any of those VN, so choose whatever you like. F/SN requires a LOT of time (same with Tsukihime), so pick them when you are ready to spend many hours reading.
If you are in the mood for something calm (boring?) Katahane and E17 will be good, as they both have a slow start.
HoshiMemo and Kanon are typical nakiges. Kanon would be great for winter, but the anime adaptation was very good, so it won't be that different. If you have watched it recently, you may consider reading the VN later.
As for Rewrite, you may wait and read it when the translation will be finished, you have so many choices that you may pick something else for now.
I'm reading Swan Song now, it's a pretty good VN so far. I like the post-disaster setting even though it brings back bad memories from my horrible experience last year.
So you saw the wonderful CHOMP scene too. Now you can see it again and again and again. Welcome to the PTSD arc. See ya later Marimo.
Never read it. I just read the synopsis and saw the preview. Loved the fact that Yui Ogura is in it. I hear it's good though.
Anyways, you should read Yuuko's gag route anyways. It's funny and sorta insightful. It's not like you're going to have any fun in Alternative for a good 10+ hours of reading anyways. The beginning is a real chore to read through.
