I'd love to say it doesn't matter, but 3D feels a bit uncanny and too self-insert for my tastes, at least for otome games where these characters modeled to be handsome ikemens for fans to fall in love with. I don't have a problem with 3D in regular video games.

Not usually, but if I really like a route, I might be a bit inclined to take a short break before starting the next one. Similar to the feeling of not being able to start a new visual novel after finishing a really good one, I'd stall a bit.

I used to go with the very default of "light mode unless the application is dark by default" (for example, I wouldn't switch Discord to light mode, I just accept any theme/mode I get) but over time I grew to prefer dark mode. Easier on the eyes for me nowadays. I do find all the light mode hate...

I love using the canon name, especially since it's voiced by default in most games with voice acting. Plus, I feel a bit awkward about using a self-insert name that doesn't fit in with all the usually Japanese names in the story

Around when Amnesia was new on Steam, I believe. That was how I started. I already knew what visual novels were at the time, and I liked the idea of female protagonist. Felt almost like a "genderbend" of galge to me, as I wasn't familiar with "otome" as a genre.

I liked Cinderella Phenomenon, though I'm biased because it was one of the first otome games I tried out. Blooming Panic was also decent (but I don't like chatrooms). I'll definitely be throwing some stuff from this thread to my backlog, so thank you all for contributions~

I do love her explanation posts, like the otome vs joseimuke one or the ones about the old tracing scandal. 4shiki's a legend, and I still enjoy breadmasterlee hinano yurika's posts even if she moved away from otome games.

For me, it depends on the reason they crossdress and their character design/voice. Essentially: Is the character a cute boy in feminine clothing, or are they straight up indistinguishable from a woman. If it's the latter, is there a good reason for it? A recent example I liked was Kagetora from...

I set it a long time ago and have put off removing it because I couldn't find the "Signature" editing area only to now realize that I can't do it by myself anyway. I've been posting a bit but I suppose it isn't enough for signature perms, so can a staff member please remove it? (Not sure...

Definitely with a sprite! Plus voice acting if possible, but I realize that's pretty rare. I like having the heroine be a character with just as much attention as everyone else.

I understand why poster boys exist from a marketing perspective, but it's not something I really think about while playing or choosing my routes. I think most poster boys come off as kinda boring, but that's also just my preference.

Hii, this is kind of a general question but I was wondering what kind of otome games people here prefer? By that, I mean whether you generally prefer more light-hearted stories or more life-or-death stories. I personally get a bit bored when I read stories based on light-hearted comedy, but I...

The Second Reproduction it doesn't get mentioned enough even though it's in english too (I suppose recent events have made it more popular though)

Agreed! The fewer the better for me tbh. Feels like with more characters the writing gets a bit worse.

I don't think games affect my period in any way, just that my mood is overall worse... I sure wish they helped.
