Do you like secret love interests or not?

I actually like when there is extra LIs, specially if i enjoyed the game. It feels like extra time in the world and with the story and i appreciate it.
 
Yess, they always look interesting to know, and I'm always excited to reach their route 🔥
 
I love them! More handsome guys for me to date, I don't see why not. The secret adds an element of surprise too. There are honestly too many good-looking side characters that I would love to get routes for in otome games, but I become disappointed when they really have no route :(
 
I like secret love interests, but they are really not a secret if you use guides for the games and see who has a route.

I like them, but only if they're written and hidden well enough ;Dc Such a shame their routes are usually shorter though.
 
I love hidden LIs — there's something really exciting about unlocking a secret route. It feels rewarding, like you discovered something special.

But if I have to clear every single character's ending just to meet him? That's where I start hesitating. I don't like feeling forced to sit through routes I'm not enjoying just to unlock one character I actually care about. If the other routes are fun, sure, I don't mind.
Exactly this. Especially when you are short on time, you don't want to spend time unnecesarily on routes you don't really like just to unlock a character
 
I enjoy them especially if they are heavily tied to the plot, though rarely are they secret cause I'm a VNDB fiend and enjoy a good spoiler or two. 🤭
 
I will say now that I am halfway through 9 RIP, I am excited to see how the secret route will progress, this is my first time being actually excited to see a secret route. I hope it doesn't dissapoint!

I never played Ukyo's route, I'm not sure I just can't get myself to do it even though I have friends who tell me to. ;-;
 
I like secret love interest if THAT character is just the one that i want to get XD
For exampleee, Yoshiwara Higanbana, when the MC appears for the first time, besides her there was a man (i dont remember his name)
but i thought he was also one of the LIs... and then just... he wasnt lol

And then, i understand that in the switch version his route is open ~

Sometimes when i was playing an otome game, i just dont get why a secondary character is so handsome, and isnt an available route!!!!
but then, OH, HE WAS A SECRET LOVE INTEREST! XD
So yeah, sometimes the developers wouldnt draw a handsome character for nothing :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

YESYESYESYES esp if their my type peak love interest for me are secret routes >⩊<
 
I do like them! I think it's always a nice little treat after finishing all the routes and getting to romance a character that you couldn't touch before! A secret LI route that I liked was in Cupid Parasite but I did wish that you could of chosen anwsers in it as I felt a little sad not being able to choose a choice or getting an extra cg for like a good ending.
 
Sometimes I love a good Serect route like dead lover or best friend coming back I love that but personally I think most of the time serect routes are more toxic like most secret LI are yanderes or the more dangerous and evil type of characters.
 
Yes!!! (⁠。⁠・⁠/⁠/⁠ε⁠/⁠/⁠・⁠。⁠)

I love *really* secret ones where it's a mechanic you would have *no* idea that there is one. TMGS does one so perfectly.

I also adore them because, lots of the time, the character is a different trope or plotline that they experiment with or is a bit out of the norm.
 
I love the hidden characters too! The feeling of excitement when you think you've finished the main characters' routes and then a message or voice message announces they've been unlocked is incredible!

Once I start playing through their routes, I can't see anyone but them.
 
I'm all for secret LIs, but it's such a letdown when their route is shorter. If they end up being my favorite, I just wish they had as much screen time and development as the others!

I second this! I like a lot of secret LIs, but their route tend to be short or disconnect from the game's plot.
 
I love secret LI, almost all of the game I have played, they always die, protect mc, love mc in all of the timeline, and I'm a sucker for these type of LI lmao.
 
Secret routes are so fun to find organically its a fun little surprise that really spices things up (≖ᴗ≖✿)
 
It's nice, especially if it's being hidden really good (cough verite cough). On other hand, their route can be rushed or being there only for the plot :(
:(
