Check https://vndb.org/ if you're looking for something with particular themes.

If you just want something straightforward, Yuzusoft makes decent moe dating VNs -- good art, decent music, voice acted, fairly polished (and configurable) UI. Kind of weak on the writing though, unfortunately. I've played Cafe Stella and Riddle Joker (plus Parquet from their all-ages imprint, but that one's a bit different). I've heard good things about Sanoba Witch in particular, but haven't played that one yet myself.

Next on my list of moe VNs when I'm in the mood for this stuff again (I've been out of it for a bit too) is Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm. That seems to be fairly highly regarded, but I haven't played it yet (beyond opening it up once to confirm it works on my system -- the intro song is pretty good) so I can't give personal thoughts. It's a fantasy-sports drama (flying shoes)/moe dating VN, IIRC?

If you want to try something non-anime, Being a DIK was pretty entertaining. It's a "college movie" in VN form with some mini-game elements reminiscient of Bully. S1+S2 is pretty lengthy and worth playing as-is, but the story is still incomplete FYI.

Outside of dating sim and moege VNs there's quite a bit of other works with varying levels of gameplay that often get lumped into the VN category. e.g. Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, 999, AI: Somnium Files, etc. are pretty entertaining. If you want something with AO/sexual content in this VN-adjacent category, maybe try Evenicle?
