Someone mentioned My Candy Love! I used to play it a lot back in the day; I absolutely adored Lysandre. I was bummed that they left him out of the subsequent games—though I have a theory that they did it because his outfit design was probably a huge hassle to draw, but that's just my theory.

I really enjoyed Virche (which I recently finished), I didn't think I would like the game as much as I did, I devoured the entire game in about a week. I thought all the main and secondary characters were very well written; my only reservation about the story is Cupid Parasite, which I played...

For me, it's between 3 and 5. Three is ideal, and 5 is still acceptable. When there are more than that, the mechanics have to work really well to avoid confusion; titles like Kiniro no Corda, Sangoku Rensenki (as already mentioned), and Prince of Tennis—I love those games because they offer a...

Childhood friends—it never bothers me when that trope is present, but it's not a factor that heavily influences whether I like the character. I'm not really a fan of the "fake dating" trope either—maybe because it usually tends to make the romance feel a bit... too easy? I actually played Lover...

I first discovered the series through the visual novel, and then I watched the anime. I think it was quite successful—especially since there aren't many vampire-focused visual novels out there these days, right? At the very least, Reject's games tend to feature a wide variety of distinct Mls. It...

Lucas from Mistonia, even though I think they could have given more love to his route, I definitely love him as a character and his route in general. :akazukin_blush:

Piofiore was always on my list of games with surprising Bad Ends, but I recently finished Virche, and I don't think anything else on my list could top the Bad Ends there. The writers really got carried away with writing bad endings. I even had dreams about Yves and Lucas endings. Guys, beware of...

I replay the Kiniro no Corda games quite often; I find them really fun. I also always go back to Drastic Killer; personally, it's one of my favorites. I'm also planning to replay the Hakuouki series; it's been a long time since I played it, and I want to revisit it.

Back when I was playing, it took me about two days to complete a character's route. The stat system is pretty straightforward—you don't need to level up every attribute, just the ones relevant to the character whose route you're pursuing. By playing through everyone's routes, I think I managed...

Hmm, it depends? I mean, I don't mind whether there's a "true route" or not. Take Mistonia, for example:. On the other hand, in Radiant Tale, I actually have plenty of patience for unlocking true endings across various types of games; I find it interesting.

I like both, but I feel that in older Otome games, voice actors would often sing the theme songs or opening themes. In Cupid Parasite, for instance, every character has a theme song (Shelby's and Gill's are actually my favorites), though a female vocalist performs the opening and ending themes...

I really want to be Osborn girl, but the game only gives me Jesse cards. I had my eye on the game even when the translation was still unclear, and so far I'm enjoying it, playing a little every day so I don't get overwhelmed by playing too much at once. :akazukin_blush:

The Kiniro no Corda games—the Vita versions. I'd love for them to port those to the Switch. I actually have a few Vita games saved on my HD precisely because they're such a pain to find these days.

Yikes, I only just heard the news and I'm genuinely surprised. Personally, I didn't see any problem with Valko; he seemed genuinely interesting. It's the first time I've seen something like this happen.

Personally, I don't see a problem; I love recommending games to my friends. I find it kind of sad that visual novels in general aren't that popular. In my circle of friends, I don't have anyone who plays the genre much, but I always find it interesting to meet someone who likes to play Otome...
