I remember that there were some Magic House games that used to be sold on Steam before being taken down at some point. They were outright machine translated and terrible to read.
There's also Him, the Smile & Bloom before there was an update patch to fix it. It wasn't that too bad, but it was...
I don't mind R18 otome games, but I live with others and they sometimes come into my room so I would be super embarassed to play them while they're there lol
Don't really pay attention much to my tracked hours, but I mostly use playnite and steam which does come with it automatically. I'm also thinking of using RomM to manage roms and emulators, and it does also have play time tracking
Don't really care about it if it's just between secondary characters, but it's a no to it being between LIs. Certain people on social media pretty much killed my interest in there being BL in otome games lol
And I don't like it when the MC gets ignored or erased just to cater to fujos or the...
I don't like missing out on context on parts I skip and I have a lot of patience, so there's not much that's going to make me skip through parts of a game, but I might like speed read through it if it gets super boring lol
Stardew Valley. Mostly with mods, I really can't stand the vanilla artstyle lol. There's some custom NPC mods and even NPC retexture mods that wouldn't be out of place out of an otome, my favorite mods like that are the Seven Deadly Sins expansion mod and the Romanceable Rasmodius mod.
Other...
Anime adaptations of otome games tend to be awful and/or cut out a lot of important things, so I don't really watch them lol. Actually, I don't like to watch anime adapations of video games in general (unless it's not really an adaptation and does something new to the game world like Cyberpunk...
Usually recommended order, but that's because I'm used to reading some general vns that need to be read in a very specific order or else things aren't going to make much sense lol
haven't played that much western indie otome and amare vns ever since i write my own stories because most of them don't have writing that appeals much to me. not even that much of a fan of the amare genre out of the petty reason of finding the FAQs from the amaregames website super pretentious...
I really don't like most mobile otome games for the same reasons people here mentioned. I played a few very generous gacha games and I'm a f2p player, but none of the mobile otome games are as generous.
At the very least, mobile otome games have big communities, but it really confuses me every...
Can read anything, but I prefer shoujo, josei, mystery, horror, slice of life
I like fantasy as well, but I'm sick and tired of the cookie cutter medieval fantasies that don't do anything interesting with the setting lol
