On my first listen, I will always listen through the entire thing to get the context of the scenario. Whenever I listen to a drama CD again, I usually just skip to the R18 scene 🙂‍↕️ But if I found that the drama CD’s story is really good, I’m willing to listen to the entire thing all over...

Same thoughts here! I rarely buy CDs, but when there is a big sale or discount on DLsite, I go all out and splurge 💸💸 As for what I think is worth spending on, I usually base it on the tags and story first, then on how good the sample is. I avoid using seiyuus as a basis as much as I can...

I’m not really that confident to say that I would still be playing otome games forever. I’ve been playing for over a decade and I can’t lie but there were moments where I had a lot of long “downtime” where life got too busy and I kinda just forgot about this interest of mine entirely. But I...

It doesn't bother me that much since I've kinda accepted the fact that it's really how VNs as a medium really is. But I really appreciate it when VNs give players more choices or be more creative like in Bustafellows where there was a choice that had a timer (it was a 30 second timer so ample of...

I'm a completionist so not only do I finish all routes, but I also get every ending and go through every single choice just to see all the possible flavor text I can get. It can feel very accomplishing to complete the game 100% to see every character and their developments throughout the...

I love me some mysteries and any sort of speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi) worlds for plot heavy otome like Taisho x Alice and Bustafellows. But I also appreciate some slice of life genres once in a while as a breather in between games!

I don’t really get annoyed about it that much, but I really appreciate it if the game goes all out in having your choices matter by changing any details even if its like a small detail

Ooh I’d say it depends! For otome games that lean more on a slice of life genre, I would like it to be short common routes with longer character routes so I can see more fun interactions between MC and LIs. But if the story of the game is lore-heavy and the setting has a pretty expansive world...

Definitely! I’d say the first route can set the vibe of what may await me for the rest of the game, especially if there’s a recommended route order due to how the narrative unfolds

Mobile otome games were actually what introduced me to otome games! So even though I’ve already branched out to console and PC otome, mobile always have a special place in my heart, especially the old Voltage games and old Shall We Date series. But aside from that, I definitely have also tries...

I’m the type to check whether there’s a recommended route order and follow it if it’s because the story unfolds better that way. But if the route order doesn’t matter in experiencing the story, then I’d just do a blind first playthrough and then accept whoever I get based on my choices. It’s...

LMAO YES, definitely happened to me on multiple occasions. But to follow your example, I also ended up switching faves in LADS 🤣 Back when it first launched, I started LADS because of Xavier but then I reached chapter 4 in main story and there he was — I met my bias wrecker 😂 I also ended up...

I never self-insert while playing. I probably tried to once when I was still new to the genre. But then it felt icky or wrong to me because there were times where the MC’s thoughts and actions go completely against what I would do if I were in her situation. In a sense there’s this...

I’d also say that it depends for me too, like if the situation in the drama CD calls for this vibe then sure I’d vibe with it too. But if I really needed to pick between the two, I would go with soft voice. Maybe it’s because I like to listen to drama CDs before I go to sleep so having a soft...

Definitely online manga. As much as I still love having physical books, physical manga (especially shoujosei) of my favorites are usually inaccessible outside Japan since they aren’t popular enough 😔
