What do you think of female routes in otome games?

The more the merrier? Very interesting, too. There's this game called Volcano Princess, it's not an otome game, but the game had both male characters and male characters you can romance

I don't mind if there are female character routes, but I won't play them.

I was about to mention it! I was worried that the female routes would have less content compared to the male ones, but it's very well balanced. I liked it.

But yeah, overall I enjoy both, the female and male routes

I don't think female routes in otome games work for me

Idk, i just feel like if there's female LI, it lost the meaning of otome. Because, there's a genre after all. I mean, if i want yuri, i just play yuri game instead of otome.

Personally, I like them, but they should give more depth to their relationships because they tend to be very quick or superficial.

I like them! It's nice seeing the MC have friends too, apart from romantic interests. And if their routes can be romantic as well, even better. I love variety lol

 

[skipstar]

I don't really care for it either.. whether its friendship or romance, it's less interesting than regular male char route.

I don't mind playing female character routes, but they really shouldn't make up too large a proportion. For ensemble cast games like the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de series, the Kiniro no Corda series, and Zettai Meikyuu Grimm, I think adding female character routes is perfectly fine, whether they're friendship‑oriented or romance‑oriented.
