I am surprised that no one mentioned here the next bunch of good BL games:

Beyond Eden
Kuro No Tsuki
Invisible Sign -Isu-, Invisible Sign -Isu- Nemureru Mori
Nessa no Rakuen
Taishou Mebiusline
Lamento -Beyond the Void-
Animamundi: Dark Alchemist
Graduation
Silver Chaos
Your Heart Will be Stolen at the 24th Hour ~ Phantom Thief Jade ~
I definitely put Beyond Eden up there, like my first place. That one was just amazing storytelling wise, artwise, and the progression wise. Then again, it is a rare Korean BL game afterall. Sadly, again, like most JP game, the happy ending is hopeful ending not real happy ending.

I believe that several heavy endings caused the return to them in the second part Beyond Eden: Dear Edward

It's because we were talking about officially localized Japanese games. Admittedly, I forgot about Animamundi, cause it's basically abandonware at this point. But Beyond Eden's a Korean game. Lamento's been picked up by Jast but iirc it's been on indefinite hold for a while. The rest are fan translations, or in the case of Invisible Sign and Nessa no Rakuen, have no English translations at all.

Well, people asked recommendations, and only Japan should not limit the Asian games market. And if not official translation stops someone from the game, then I feel sorry for them ...
Not to mention the fact that real fans play these games using the method of capturing the text to translate and do not limit themselves at all. As for Lamento, Invisible Sign and Nessa no Rakuen I must call that I did not pay attention that they were translated only into my native language. Heh, this is a very big hot loss not to play them ...

Don't get me wrong, I don't play only Japanese VNs, nor was I encouraging people to do so. A significant amount of the VNs I play are OELVNs because I tend to prefer their dynamics. My point was simply that we were originally discussing the visual novels that were officially localized from Japanese, then I was asked to make a tier list from that particular set of games. That's why the conversation was specifically about those VNs I listed.

Also...it's pretty unfair to say that "real" fans only use machine translations. DeepL + textractor can produce some incredibly janky translations, it's a really awkward way to experience games (and can lose out on nuance). There's nothing wrong with not wanting to experience VNs that way, it doesn't make someone not a "true" fan.

As far as I want to continue these debates, there is no sense in this. In the end, we all love these games and want to share our interest.
As for real fans, I am ready to rename them in radical in the sense of not missing more than one novelty regardless of the presence of a translation. I hope your sense of justice can arrange it as «pretty fair».
And although I personally prefer to play the translated games, recently I begin to understand them better. The couple of my acquaintances simply did not survive the covid and did not play games, the translations of which they waited five years before (as they did not do many other things fighting for quality, of course).
Therefore, I plan to play at Taishou Mebiusline Teito Bibourku and Bara No Ki Ni Bara No Hanasaku one way or another.

That seems reasonable enough.

I am sorry for your loss. It's sad that your friends missed out on something they were really looking forward to. I can understand not wanting to miss out on games, and it's unfortunate these games are so rarely picked up. It can be a hard choice to make. Personally, I've wanted to play Shingakkou for a long time, but the lack of a translation (fan or otherwise) has kept me from it. I can understand why people would want to use DeepL to experience it in some form.

Wasn't expecting it to be good, but this one is actually engaging, there's only 3 routes, and surprisingly the blonde dude is the most wholesome one, mc is actually likeable, i wish someone would post the Musubi version (with an android port too) since it's an alternative to this

I hope the sequel gets translated someday or there's a fan translation (if there isn't one already). I really liked Mitsugi's route and want to see the rest of where that storyline goes.
