Just finished Edgeworth 2 and am in a groove.

I've played all the obvious stuff like all the AAs and ZEs, as well as Ghost Trick. Hotel Dusk and Last Window are on the list.

If it's something with a fan translation only, that's fine too.

You mentioned all the obvious and good ones
I also played Trace Memory, which is also a Cing game (creators of Hotel Dusk) it's not a must play but it was decent enough

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

The first two games are fine, too, but that one's great.

Sprung has always intrigued me as amazingly awful but I think it's tainted now.

I think one of the Love Plus games has a fan translation. But I guess thats more of a straight-up dating sim.

I have no idea how good any of them are but there are the Saburo Jinguji / Jake Hunter games. No idea if any of the non-localized ones have fan translations

Those are adventure games rather than VNs, but so are Ace Attorney, Zero Escape, and Hotel Dusk

God, I remember Sprung and I think I even played it, but I also can't remember anything about it. Apparently it spawned two spin-off games too.

Another Code: Two Memories/Trace Memory is pretty good (same game, different name in different regions) although it's probably more point and click than straight VN.

Looking at reviews for Sprung, it looks like most actually liked the writing; the problem was that the genre had not reached mainstream acceptance yet (It came out a year before the first Phoenix Wright hit the US). The head writer went on to write for 30 Rock, so they must have some talent, at least.

I admittedly don't remember much about Sprung, but I do specifically recall how scummy most of the characters were, the character sprites were pretty bad too.

Sprung's writing was really funny

Granted I was like 13 when I played it but I think I replayed it once and it still holds up

It very much does not take itself too seriously

I've played Time Hollow too and it was fine. I'd never go out of my way to recommend it but if you're looking for more games in the genre I think it's worth a playthrough

Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case Files: Chance Meeting of Two Detectives

Actually, I don't know if it's any good as I haven't played it yet, but after someone convinced me to read some of Case Closed, this game led me to discover Kindaichi Case Files, which is (IMO) a much better detective manga.

EDIT: Should mention, it's Japan only but fan translated.

Hotel Dusk was excellent and Last Window was a solid follow up.

I played one of them for about five hours because of a combination of morbid curiosity and boredom, and then my game crashed and I had to shout that I loved the girl into my mic in Japanese because she got angry I didn't save. You can decide for yourself whether or not I did that, but my mic didn't work anyway, so I was boned and my progress was ruined. Excellent game mechanic, would highly recommend if you enjoy wasting your life away.

Mildly related, but am I right to avoid the later Phoenix Wright installments? I've not heard a lot of great things about them, having just completed the AA trilogy and found it decent but not amazing.

No, the only AA game Id say is mediocre is AA4 (though its somewhat important context for the following games). 5 and 6 are very good, AAI is okay, and AAI2 is very good (Im still playing through GAA so I cant attest to that yet).

I agree with the consensus that Trace Memory is a very much well this was fine kind of game but not much beyond that.

I remember Lux Pain having an interesting hook but I also never finished it for some reason I cant remember so it cant be that great.

I have Lux Pain and Trace Memory but haven't played either enough to tell you if they were good?
