but I also need some idea not to make the player bored once he have finished all of 9 stories.
Weeeell... that's the big difficulty ô_o... Unless you plan to have something else than VN scenes, I don't think you can magically create replay value here. Once a story has been read... it's old news. Just changing a location or the look of the character won't really make the story look new if all the text is the same.
I'm thinking it might be better to make 9 *good* stories that will be enjoyed and remembered than try to have 150 randomly generated stories that probably won't work out, or look too similar to each other.

if he met a loli girl at library, and he didn't like her, then he can go other place for the other characters again and again. and the 9 stories is separated. it won't go after and after.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you can get the player interested enough to replay enough to get all 9 endings, you've already got more playthroughs than most free OELVNs get :) Better to focus on making those 9 plots really fulfilling and rewarding, in my opinion.

EDIT: Yeah, what monele said ;)
I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!

Hmm, I agree. Okay then I'll be concentrating on making a good story.
and I planning to let the player choose how Shuta (the player himself) look like.
I can't let the player choose how the female characters look like, but for himself, I can.

Everyone gives me a new idea for the game, really thanks.

By the way, my project will be delayed a little.
I'll upload screen shots by next week.

Wait wait wait ^^;... we did say it would be nice to be able to "configure" how the girls would look :)

monele: Well, let me think about that. because I don't think that's the kind of game I'm aiming for.

I think that could work. It'd be quite fun to play a game where you meet a randomly generated girl, both in appearance and in personality.

I'm not ready for the screenshots, so I uploaded few regular characters.
and I hide some of its story, because I just noticed that it will spoil the fun.

I'm now done with translating my renpy into Japanese.

and other thing, I changed Yuri's name into Yukari.
I didn't know Yuri means "Girl's love" in English, ...sounds bad, so I changed her name.

Well, yuri actually translates to "lilly", as in the flower. It's a slang term for more explicit shojo-ai (literally "girl love"), but it's also a name. Kinda like how "gay" originally meant "happy" and as now slang.
