Regarding good starters:

Saya no Uta is a pretty classic beginner choice for anybody looking for darker stuff. It's a very good story with awesome presentation and it doesn't overstay its welcome.

I'm pretty sure my first VN ever was Kawata Shoujo, which is a lot of people's first VN. Looking back on it, it's not that great, but it has some very strong points.

Steins;Gate is excellent, I'd definitely recommend that, regardless of interest in sci-fi or time travel. Good story, great scenario design, neat art style, and a fun, diagetic way of making choices instead of the usual "click one of these boxes" choice format.

I'm almost finished with Swan Song, and I also think that makes for a good starting VN, as long as you're interested in the misery, violence, utsuge side of things. It's not a happy story, although I'm about to finish the true route so maybe it'll turn around and end on a lighter note.

Also, 999 is good, especially for mystery fans and people who want really high production value and/or some gameplay.

That's really good info. Maybe we could make a list of the shorter more beginner friendly VNs. The long ones can seem pretty daunting.
