Couldn't agree more with this guy. Look for games with the visual novel tag.

Or remove monika’s character file and the first run file before playing the game

Just monika

I feel like we should narrow it down. Do you know any good VNs about literature?

Well, I don't want to be the guy that states the super obvious but.............. you might want to check out this one game called Doki Doki Literature Club.

Majikoi if you want to see a bunch of friends do a bunch of friends things, with romance on the side. It's a "feel happy VN". Majikoi would be more like a cure to DDLC, rather than something that is very similar to it. It does have the romance though.

I haven't read it, but Symphonic Rain kinda gives me the same vibes as the first half of DDLC. They may or may not be similar, though Symphonic Rain would be about piano music rather than poems I guess. Heard good things about it anyway.

Other VNs that might be to your liking: Sharin no Kuni Himawari no Shoujo, Grisaia series, Katawa Shoujo, Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star- (fandisc will come out later)

One thing that needs to be pointed out is that the vast majority of VNs don't just leave you on a depressive note. Most of them will have happy and complete endings, whether it's for a specific girl/boy or the VN as a whole.

This is what I meant. Thanks.

Watch or read Hyouka, which is what the early part of DDLC reminded me off. Not a VN, but well, it's the closest thing i could think of

Although, instead of poetry, Hyouka is about prose literature and detective insights.

Try playing lucid9 it is not horror like but eh atmosphere and thriller is really good and mystery is pretty decent. it is free on steam

[desertkona]

You can try

Oneshot

this game is MetaFiction same as DDLC and maybe Undertale that the GAME is talking to YOU. yes YOU

[Czar]

You should consider Muv-Luv.

Muv-Luv extra is really similar to the beginning of this, though I can't talk much about unlimited.(And the sequel, Alternative)
