I like to keep the MC's original name because the characters in the game will say it, but if they were like Tokimeki Memorial where they pronounce the name no matter what you write, I'd probably choose different name but never my own, because I can't self-insert.
Sometimes I really hate the MCs...
Sayaka from 9 R.I.P. I have always been obsessed with the paranormal and had a hard time making friends because the other girls did not care about those topics. That part was so accurate and relatable to me 😅
Virche Evermore. I feel like I never played such a long common route before. I kept thinking I made it out of it but it just kept going and going and it wasn't even fun to read.
I think I generally watch the anime before finding out it has an otome game. I have watched La corda d'oro, hakuouki and Neo Angelique so far.
If I find out about the game first, I'll always end up playing it and never watching the anime. The games are usually superior in storytelling IMO.
Omg...OKKO 😭
My Sweet Proposal was one of my favorite games. I feel like their stories actually were interesting and they dared to make the LIs feel more human, they had defects like for example Ryoichi from my Sweet Proposal had this ex he never moved on from and it drove me mad but that's how...
Mistonia's Hope and Sympathy Kiss. I keep switching between the two depending on the mood. Sympathy Kiss is really sweet and easy to digest (I'm almost done with all the routes. I just need to finish Rokuro and Usui) and Mistonia's Hope is definitely not something I can sit and read for hours...
I don't mind it that much because normally they either don't show the face much or cover the lack of eyes with hair but in some CGs it can look very nightmarefuellish. Looking at you Sympathy Kiss 👀
Olympia Soiree. I love everything about it, it's so colorful and detailed and every character has very distinctive features. I also liked Virche, the art is gorgeous but I do think that the characters end up looking a bit too similar.
