How ado you play visual novels?

At this point, I'm not talking about the ones here (though they're usually awesome).

I'm talking about commercial level VNs, which usually take more than a day to complete.
I have a bunch of them piled up, and I'm wondering how to go about completing them.

One of them is the behemoth Clannad, others are Fate/Stay Night, Yume Miru Kusuri, and Kanon.

I was wondering whether it would be best to clear all paths in one first, do a path a day, or jump between them.
I want to get the most emotional enjoyment out of them, so yeah.

Focus on one game and one game only. Don't go jumping around otherwise you'll just get confused. I'd say to start with the longer ones (Clannad,F/SN) so that the shorter ones won't feel like a chore.

I like to do my VNs one at a time. If there's voice, I let it all play out before I move to the next block of text but if there isn't, I'm normally able to read it pretty quickly. If you're really looking for enjoyment and aren't too worried about finishing them quickly, I would let the text stay on screen longer for certain points in order to hear the music play out, then change when you feel like it makes sense to do so music wise. I've often regretted flipping through too much and cutting off a nice piece halfway through.
