I usually prefer STORYgames. In short, they emphasize on the storyline, details, etc., rather than playing the storygame. As per favorites, Modern Adventure, Love and Dating, and Sci-Fi are the greatest genres out there.
Not saying you should completely follow everything from the handsome horse's mouth, but at least focus on the storyline, if you please.
I hope this helps you in your future endeavors.
Cheerio!
