I like them, but true routes or finale routes never end up being my favorite. My favorite route is almost always my favorite LI's bad ending or best ending—in other words, their romance route. As for the finale route, I enjoy it more as a nice bonus or a special treat. Like you mentioned, I...

Yes! Ever since I got into otome games, I've definitely started listening to a lot more Japanese music. I don't really listen to J-Pop idol music, though—I mostly listen to anime songs, otome game soundtracks, and Vocaloid music haha.

Wow, I personally don't consider games with a gender-selectable MC to be otome games. To me, an otome game is one where the MC is a woman and the LIs are men. If the MC is male and the LIs are also male, I'd consider it a BL game. If the MC is female and the LIs are male, it's an otome game. If...

I just found out there's a dark mode because of this post. I didn't realize so many people use dark mode!

If it's an RPG or another genre with romance elements rather than an actual otome game, then I'm totally fine with it. Like Stardew Valley, for example. In an otome game, though, I definitely want the LI to only have eyes for the MC. If they have feelings for someone else, they're an instant...

Hahaha, I have a soft spot for LIs who secretly love sweets but are embarrassed about it or try to hide it. I especially love it when the MC is the only one who notices. It always seems to be the cool, stoic types who end up having this trope, and I never get tired of it.

I'd probably just be an NPC, haha. Maybe the MC's friend, or just one of those background characters who shows up for like one scene. If I did get to be the MC, though, I'd definitely want to be the MC from Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side!! As much as I absolutely love Virche Evermore and Even if...

Guys can absolutely play otome games! I don't have any issue with it. As long as they're just enjoying them as gamers, they're more than welcome. But if they play them and then start critiquing them from a male perspective, saying things like, "Women would never like someone like this," "This is...

I completely agree!! I don't think an MC needs to be fully voiced or have an especially beautiful design either. Of course, full voice acting can make it easier to follow the story compared to just reading text, but to me, that's just a nice bonus. An MC's design feels more like a secondary...

I absolutely hate it. Even if an LI is forced to act like they're dating someone else because they're being blackmailed or has to push the MC away for some reason, I can deal with that. But if an LI genuinely falls in love with another character? That's honestly the worst. I've never played an...

I'd say I enjoy both, but if a game has gameplay elements, it's usually only fun on my first playthrough. When I start doing multiple routes, those sections can become a bit tiring. Because of that, I tend to find games with mostly text more relaxing to play. That said, even if it's mostly...

Like a lot of people have already mentioned, Yang from Piofiore for me too... I still can't forget his bad ending. If I ever met him in real life, I'd probably... not survive very long.

I've played Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 6 DX, and it has a pretty substantial battle system rather than what I'd consider a minigame. Combat actually makes up a big part of the gameplay. When I first played it, I had a lot of fun with the battles. But after replaying the game multiple times to go...

I like otome games more! I've actually never played a BL game before. I'm a huge self-insert player, and I can only really immerse myself through a female MC. Even in regular RPGs, I tend to have a hard time getting into them if the protagonist is male. That's why otome games are much more my thing.

I think the OPs of Chou no Doku and Norn9 are top-tier. The songs are amazing, and they perfectly capture the vibe of the games.
