Yuzusoft is not the height of moege by any means. In a good moege there will be something you enjoy in every scene, just like in any good book.
Plotge do work better than moege in some aspects; by the time you get to an a girl's H-scene in a good plotge you should already have a deep emotional connection with her, and your first time will be super meaningful.
But girls in moege don't get murdered or raped or fall in love with other men. Like >>17915612 that bothered me less before I had a stressful job. I don't mind characters being one dimensional and gimmicky, neither of those things makes a character bad. If I wanted realism, I'd talk to real people. And I don't mind if a heroine is cliched or a clone either, if she's just like a girl I've fallen in love with, I get to fall in love all over again! Unique heroines are great, of course, but you can't beat vanilla ice cream.

The best thing about all VNs is how much control you have over reading them. You don't just get to choose your girlfriend, you also get to completely shape your experience. When you buy a moege, you basically have 40 hours of happiness in a box. You can blow through it all at once and have a weekend you'll remember for the rest of your life, or read twenty minutes once a week and have the longest running, most lascivious moe anime ever. You can read one route per year and when you come back you'll have a story that is fresh and nostalgic at the same time. You can do anything in between. If a VN isn't enough for you, read it faster. If it's too much for you, read it slower.

I'll share my current source of happiness as well.
