  1. Is anyone else surprised by how loosely the otome tag is used on itch.io?

    Otome games are, by definition, romance games centered around a female MC and male LIs. I honestly don't understand why elements that don't fall under the otome genre, such as BL or GL, keep getting included in games that are still labeled as otome. Would the same thing happen in reverse? For...
  2. What's your favorite way of being addressed by a male character?

    I like being called -chan or kimi! I feel like those are the kinds of nicknames that sweet and caring characters tend to use. I'm not particularly fond of being called omae, but I do love characters who use it! They tend to have that laid-back, rough-around-the-edges charm that I find really...
  3. Who's in your profile picture?? 👀

    Azuma Natsuhiko from Norn9 (๑•᷄﹃•᷅ ๑)♡
  4. What other hobbies do you have outside of otomes?

    I've been learning how to crochet lately! It's a little tricky, but I'm having so much fun with it. I just wish yarn wasn't so expensive so I could try out more different kinds! 。°໒꒰ྀི °´ᯅ`⸝⸝° ꒱ྀི১°。
  5. could you tell me some otomegames on Steam?

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/4483830/even_if_TEMPEST/ I love this game! You can play it in English, Chinese, and Japanese. It's SO much fun!!!
  6. Otome Recommendation megathread

    Yori from illusion of Itehari would be perfect for you! I think you'll be very satisfied with him!
  7. Thoughts on solo devs using ai to code otome games?

    I think using AI is understandable when it comes to indie or hobby projects made by solo developers, rather than games being developed and sold commercially by large companies. That said, I don't think developers should rely on AI to handle all of the coding for them. They should at least have...
  8. Would you rather hear an LI’s inner thoughts throughout his route or unlock his POV after finishing it?

    Definitely B for me! I love that approach. Noa's route in Blackish House Side Z actually follows this kind of format, and it's one of my absolute favorite routes. I agree that knowing his feelings from the beginning would take away some of the mystery and excitement. Getting to experience the...
  9. Opinion on female seiyuu voicing male LIs

    As long as the voice suits the character, I don't see a problem with it! It's not an otome game, but Okkotsu Yuta from Jujutsu Kaisen is voiced by a female VA, and I honestly couldn't tell at all just by listening. I was genuinely surprised when I found out later! That said, while I think what...
  10. Would you rather have a terrible plot with amazing chemistry or an amazing plot with zero chemistry?

    I'd definitely go with option 2! I think romantic chemistry is one of the core elements of an otome game. No matter how good the story is, if there's no romantic chemistry between the MC and the LIs, I feel like it would end up feeling more like a regular visual novel than an otome game.
  11. Were you ever surprised by a seiyuu voicing a specific character?

    I'm still amazed that Claude from Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Orlok from Piofiore share the same voice actor, Toyonaga Toshiyuki ! I think their personalities are so different that their voices sound completely different, too. It's honestly amazing how much his voice can change depending on...
  12. Do you prefer a strong or a "weak" MC?

    I love both! I enjoy MCs who are strong and independent, able to solve problems and even save the LIs when they're in trouble. But I also love MCs who are more vulnerable and can't always handle things on their own, yet are able to heal the LIs' emotional wounds. Haha!
  13. Your first love in otome game?

    Seizh from Under the Moon! Still in love with him 💕
  14. Are you a completionist?

    If a game really isn't clicking with me, I'll sometimes put it down and move on to another one... but I still keep track of how far I've gotten so I can come back and 100% it someday! I usually try to get both the best and bad endings for every LI. That said, I don't go out of my way to read...
  15. Are you the type to play multiple otome game or focus on only one

    I'm definitely the type to focus on one game at a time! Even with just one game, I sometimes forget what happened in the common route as I play, haha. If I tried playing multiple games at once, I feel like I'd get all the stories mixed up and forget everything 😂 My memory can only handle one...
