I'd love to see an otome game with MC customization! Even just being able to choose between short and long hair would make me so happy. And personality customization too! Like, if you pick a more cool-headed personality, the MC's dialogue and choices would actually reflect that, while a sweeter...

Childhood friends!! And I especially love it when the childhood friend LI has secretly been in love with the MC all along. I'm happy with either version—where everyone around them can tell except the MC, or where he's so good at hiding his feelings that even the people around them have no idea...

I usually go into my first playthrough completely blind. That way, I might end up getting a happy ending or a bad ending... there's something fun about not knowing what you're going to get! That said, I actually prefer seeing the bad endings first. Personally, I like saving the happy ending for...

These three Otomate games — Shakou no Lyla, Tlicolity Eyes, and Kataomoi Contrast — are actually built around love triangles as their main premise! Unfortunately, I haven't played any of them myself, so I can't really speak to how good they are in terms of story or overall quality. But you can...

Hmm, I do think that bad music can hurt the immersion, but I don't think I've ever personally had that experience. There are definitely some games where the soundtrack really stood out to me—in particular, Norn9 comes to mind. I absolutely loved the music in that game! But I honestly can't think...

I definitely prefer shorter common routes! I want to spend as much time as possible with each LI and really enjoy their individual stories. That's why Piofiore: Fated Memories was so satisfying for me. The common route is incredibly short, lol. If you're someone who enjoys shorter common routes...

Personally, I'm not really into LIs who are overly innocent, quirky, cute, or childlike. I do like energetic and cheerful LIs, though, so it's interesting how there can be such a fine line between the two for me. I also tend to struggle with LIs who are significantly older than the MC, as well...

I really like Kansai dialects too! I'm not Japanese, so I can't really tell the difference between Kyoto-ben, Nara-ben, and so on, haha. Where I live, regional dialects tend to have a very lively, sometimes even a little rough-around-the-edges image. That's why I find Kyoto-ben so...

I love historical otome games too! I really like Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, and Sangoku Rensenki! haha. And I absolutely LOVE the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side series. I adore every single installment!!

Usually, those characters aren't available right away and you have to clear the other LIs first, right? But while I'm playing through their routes to get to the secret LI, I always end up falling for one of the other LIs instead... So I feel like the secret LI has rarely ever ended up being my...

I'm okay with an older or younger brother. I really loved Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari, too. But a father, uncle, or grandfather? Absolutely not. It's not just a matter of disliking it—it's simply a trope I really can't handle. 😭 And I don't mean this as a judgment toward anyone who enjoys those...

I usually don't look up any guides and just choose whatever feels right to me, then start with whichever LI I end up on. Sometimes I get a character I really like, and other times I somehow end up with one I had absolutely no interest in at all lol.

I think I prefer voices that are somewhere in the middle… For example, Yuki Kaji!!! His voice isn't too deep or too high, and it has such a soft and gentle quality to it. (*´艸*) There's also something really charming about the subtle balance between a boyish and mature quality in his voice.

I can understand it if it's an indie game made by a solo developer. But if it's a commercial game made by a company and sold for profit, I have a harder time understanding it. Thankfully, I thought I hadn't come across any otome games using AI yet… but then I found out from the comments that...

I also really love the chocolate-making minigame in Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side! I love being able to design the chocolate however I want while still making it to suit my chosen LI. It might be a bit of a stretch to call it a minigame, but I also had so much fun running around the map in...
