Youjuu Senki -A.D. 2048- is not really a masterpiece at all, but without strong competitors I find it entertaining enough to be called VN of the September 1993.

Latest Updates
VN of the Month August 1993 - Houma Hunter Lime Dai 03 Wa
A very weak month. But if choosing among ero-centered games, a mahjong game and an animated little masterpiece, I'd choose the last one. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 03 Wa is VN of August 1993.
VN of the Month July 1993 - Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star
Words Worth and Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star are the star pair of July 1993. But it would only be fair if a visual novel and not an RPG-heavy game was VN of July 1993 and thus Bunretsu Shugoshin Twinkle Star has the upper hand.
VN of the Month June 1993 - Can Can Bunny Extra
Can Can Bunny Extra was a real hit at the moment of publishing. It is VN of June 1993.
Prostudent G / ぷろすちゅーでんとG
Foreword: I do not believe in AliceSoft. As for me, they can only do that pornographic rapist Rance series over and over. So any work outside of Rance franchise is of interest to me to support or demolish this statement.
VN of the Month May 1993 - Nova
Prostudent G and Nova are the masterpieces of the month, but when there's a choice I'd choose anything over bakage and thus Nova is VN of May 1993.
VN of the Month April 1993 - Quintia Road 2
There aren't masterpieces this month, but I find Quintia Road 2 to be the most interesting story-wise and thus it's VN of the month.
VN of the Month February 1993 - Cosmology of Kyoto
Cosmology of Kyoto publication month is unknown, so I just put it to February that had relatively few titles. Cosmology of Kyoto is the only masterpiece of February 1993 and thus VN of the month.
VN of the Month January 1993 - Mamono Hunter Youko: Tooki Yobigoe
There are no masterpieces this month, but I rate Mamono Hunter Youko: Tooki Yobigoe above others and thus it's VN of the January.
VN of the Year 1992 - Phobos
VN of the Month December 1992 - Koroshi no Dress 3
Doukyuusei and Koroshi no Dress 3 are the masterpieces of December 1992, but I just can't rate a good story game lower than a very good, but still nanpa game. Koroshi no Dress 3 is the VN of December 1992.
VN of the Month November 1992 - Dracula Hakushaku
Dracula Hakushaku is the only masterpiece game of November 1992.
VN of the Month October 1992 - Ginga Ojou-sama Densetsu Yuna
Ginga Ojou-sama Densetsu Yuna is the only masterpiece game of October 1992.
VN of the Month July 1992 - Phobos
July 1992 has some fierce competition. I consider all of Armist , Phobos , Shinjuku Monogatari and Can Can Bunny Premiere as masterpieces. But since I rate serious SF stories above the others, Phobos is VN of July 1992.
De-Ja 2 / デ・ジャ２

Himitsu no Hanazono is the most curious game of January 1991.
VN of the Year 1991 - ELLE
