Looking for VNs with 'formal' vocab (self.japaneselanguage)

(Sorry if my english is wrong)

Hello, I have been learning japanese on my own for a few months now (Reading Genki, WaniKani, PDFs, etc) . My main goal for now is to reach a good level to use Visual novels (In japanese of course) with Yomichan + Textractor to learn new vocab.

I have been reading about this on the internet and many people says that Visual novels often lack normal vocab or they use unusual vocab.
Is there any Visual novel with formal vocabulary and that you would recommend?

Thanks.

Clannad has several characters that speak normal, formal Japanese (です、ます). I haven't seen any VNs with Keigo, but I'd assume there should be some, in a service industry setting, or business. Even then, some might have quirky characters with slightly weird speech patterns.

If you just want normal, everyday formal speech, Clannad is a good one, since none of the chars who do use it express themselves in strange ways.
