There are three that stuck out to me most.
In Black Wolves Saga, that small section about Auger and Mejojo's mother when they both were younger made me gasp when I realized what was going on in that scene with the bookshelf.
Taisho x Alice Shirayuki, near the ending of his route also made me...
Anything dark or with high stakes / extremely tense moments. Charade Maniacs had a fun concept but I wish they went a little darker with it... But that's just my preference! If there were ever a Danganronpa-like otome game I'd be insanely happy lol
I love Honeybee and Honeybee black! Honeybee black has darker and more mature titles which I personally really love. Blackish House is one of my top favorite games by them, and I'm slowly working through their Dynamic Chord series. I really wish they would make a comeback, I really love all of...
Mystic Messenger was my first, I think. I was on the fandom side of Tumblr a lot when it came out, and some fancomics ended up in my feed. I thought the characters looked interesting and I decided to give it a try, and here I am now lol. I still go back and replay my favorite routes out of...
As long as they're not blood related, I really enjoy them! Bonus points if they're the mature type who end up being yanderes or just straight up derranged. I have older brothers in real life, I'd feel weird playing a brother route where they're actually related, even if its just a fictional...
I don't personally like it... Having a faceless MC next to the other characters looks sort of silly to me. I like having an MC with a face and a cute character design!
I used VNR paired with DeepL for the translations. I remember it was a massive headache trying to get it work, and I honestly don't know what I even did to make it work... but I've been too scared to mess with any of the settings out of fear of breaking it lol. Most days I just translate in my...
I play blind first to see which LI I naturally end up with. But if there is an LI that I really like / I end up with an LI I really don't like, I'll pull up a guide lol.
I love reading romance stories. But I've always found Western romance novels uh... a bit corny? I'm not sure how to phrase it, but I've never really enjoyed the tropes or writing in Western romance books that much, if that makes any sense.
I also grew up reading tons of fanfiction. Especially...
For me, it's primarily based on whether or not I like the character designs of the LIs. After that, it's the artwork.l If I see that the artwork was one by one of my favorite artists, it really makes me want to play so that I can admire their artwork lol.
Hirose Yuuya as Noa from Blackish House and Masuda Toshiki as Kaguya from Taishou x Alice. I love softer voices, and they both perfectly capture everything I like in a LI's voice :lapi_happy:
Kaji Yuuki and Ishikawa Kaito both voice a lot of my favorite LIs as well.
I know exactly what you mean! I was having a hard time putting that art style into words, so I just left it out of my original comment lol. Something about western artstyles just doesn't interest me at all... That style seems common with Indie otomes. But I feel the same exact way! It makes it...
