I do use guides while playing. While it's nice to play blind, I've found that I just want to know where to avoid bad endings...

Yes and no. It really depends on the narrative of the story for me. But for the most part, I've only played games where choices split into 2 or 3 choices, so I've gotten used to this kind of thing.

Because most games have the LIs mention the protag by name, I rarely change the protagonist's name. But during my first otome, which was Piofiore: Fated Memories, past me thought Lili was a typo and I typed Lily, and later I kind of regretted my decision and went back to Lili, after learning...

The Code: Realize trilogy… I've been meaning to start it, but it's been such a busy couple of months ;-;

Chances are, that might be a title that was once on Love 365, or maybe one from Memories: My Story, My Choice. I know Voltage often publishes their Love365 mobile games as paid otomes on Nintendo Switch, so maybe you can have a look to see if one of them matches.

...Everything about Virche: Evermore scared me, not gonna lie. That game is NOT for the faint of heart...

This might sound weird, but I once bought a book called Chineasy, and even though it's intended to be used to learn Mandarin, the pictures that the author put helped me associate a lot of the building blocks. There was also an older book… I think it was called Kanji Pictographix? It also has...

Years and years ago, I might've been the person who liked gacha games the most. But the older I got, it felt like I appreciate paid and complete experiences that will give me everything than a stupid paywall just saying I can't continue or learn more about who I like BECAUSE their story is...

Sometimes, I start getting a little hungry when playing, so I dock my Switch, go grab a snack or something, and then just use Auto Play while I nibble on something. It's really good for the more laid-back scenes, but I am such a fast reader that sometimes it can be hard to find a nice auto play...

I have a large backlog, so I hardly replay any games, if I'm being honest... Visual novels just have that kind of "one and done" for me.

Absolutely against it. I am so glad the "AI Content Disclaimer" exists on Steam, because I just avoid anything that has it, ESPECIALLY if it's for art.

Perhaps due to my ADHD, but I need to stick to one and finish it unless I drop it midway due to a reason or another, because if I get focused and go to another one, I'll completely forget that previous one lmao

On. Bonus points if the otome game has an MC voice I can toggle.

Not really, no. I feel better just witnessing it from afar as if I'm by the protagonist's side spiritually, if that makes sense.

Ichiya from Variable Barricade. I won't spoil it, but I initally didn't like it, but then there was a very, very specific CG that broke me in HALF, and that kinda made him climb to the top, and it was INSANE to me just how my opinion of him changed.
