totally agree with hino and mozu too (althought mozu's route in bustafellows 2 is really nice)!
i can also say that riku from olympia soiree would be my pick in this topic - i love him as character and his dynamic with mc too but the way the route was executed was not my cup of tea...
for me it will be bloody call i got attached to characters so much and it just brings so much nostalgic emotions and collar x malice too - everything is peak!
usually prefer playing one and finishing it before moving on to the next but sometimes when the first one i am playing is becoming more boring or i realize it's not my cup of tea i start playing another one to freshen up myself and then come back to first one just to finish it and get closure...
liked watching anime from childhood and then when i was 11 i found an anime starry sky then found out there is a game so i downloaded and played the spring one!
would love to see sport themed otomes? like about maybe volleyball\basketball\football\any team sport characters and mc is their supporter or even helping them as nurse\manager
also maybe teachers\older men concept but mc is also an adult maybe working as a teacher too or something
oh! and...
there are so much games to play and all are so amazing! but the only thing is that most of them are 'work in progress' and only available in demos :(

heavy on heart cage and blooming panic!
i think i could recommend the series of dot kareshi games as a funny short but nice otomes to play! rejet has some amazing unknown projects (tokyo yamanote boys too! i am an ambassador of this game ngl)
and yeah maybe it's not so niche and underrated...
and sometimes they not only make them beautiful but also complex and so interesting in personality aspect :^(
i think it would be so nice if some of the developers and scenarists could see how appreciated some of the side characters are and make dlc for dating them or at least develop some kind...
while i agree with every response here i can also add relatable mcs! like maybe simple and common just a casual personality and lore without tragedies and traumas - girls who have nice families and relationships with family members cause sometimes it's too much having mcs that are poor broken...
i've heard lots of great reviews of silent kingdom but was hesitant to try it out idk why but now i think your message is a sign to finally play it hahahah thank you a lot for your recs!
but i am soooo sad about magical deathpair from what i've heard it's not fully done??? like it has few...
witch's heart now has two conclusions of story (wilardo's and sirius) - so if you ever have any nostalgic yearn to replay the game and explore new content - you will have something to play!
thank you for your recommendation and for such a full sharing experience! i will definitely add this...
