I don't get the appeal of them, but maybe my understanding of what they are is flawed? Someone gimme a good starter suggestion and we'll see what I think of them after that.
I'd recommend Deardrops or honestly even Katawa Shoujo to get started into VNs. Both have a great story that's relatively easy to get into.
Of course Deardrops has a higher production value than KS since KS was just done by random people on the net and Deardrops was done by a professional studio in Japan.
