  1. Full romance overdrive or slow burn?

    I prefer for there to be growing feelings fairly early that they don't take too long to get together, but I don't want the fact they're together to be the end, I want their feelings and trust to grow even more over time. I don't want miscommunication and misunderstandings to drive them apart.
  2. Your opinion on otome gacha games

    Once I get emotionally attached to the characters it's hard to part with them until the game inevitably gets hit with EoS, precisely because they're ephemeral that I put more priority into playing them while my backlog of other otome games grow. I am not a fan of the gacha aspect though.
  3. Do you listen to otome music?

    I listen to them, sometimes to reminisce and mourn the games that are no longer in service.
  4. What do you think about faceless MC ?

    I prefer MC with face/eyes. I'd buy a game just because I find the MC cute even if I'm not interested in any of the LIs. I don't self-insert. It's odd how the LIs would comment that the MC's eyes are pretty and then the CG would show the MC eyeless. I'm fine with faceless MC if it makes sense...
  5. Was there an otome you regretted starting?

    "What in Hell is Bad?" (This is an 18+ mobile gacha game that also got a 10+ version on app stores in addition to the 17+ version somehow.) I really wanted to like the game but it was bad and just kept getting worse. Battles were bugged that I had to replay a level several times because my...
  6. Do you use the Auto Play function when reading VNs?

    I use auto if I can time it to my liking, not too fast and not too slow. Absolutely not if the auto skips the voiced lines before they finish.
  7. Otome Game tracker: koilog

    I made an account there but it's a bit hard to use. For some games I had to copy the exact title from VNDB for it to show up at all. Would like to be able to favorite side characters too. It's missing non-VN otome that aren't on VNDB. It wouldn't let me add an ending if it thought the name of...
  8. AI art in otome games

    I hate when AI is used at all but I might give it a chance if they're very clear about how and where it's used. I hate it even more when it's not disclosed. The biggest no-no for me is when AI use gets pointed out with evidence of it but the dev denies it without providing their own proof or...
  9. What are some of the funniest moments you've had in otome games?

    I don't remember the context.
  10. What do you think of western otome games?

    I like a few. I think they're closer to Japanese indie games than commercial Japanese otome games. I like that most of them tend of be on the shorter side. The thing I don't like is that a lot of them are demos for game jams or for Kickstarter, and then are never finished. Pacthesis games will...
  11. Does anyone else get annoyed when your choices don't actually matter?

    I don't mind if it only happens a few times and far between. I very much mind if there are many choices, like after every few lines and none of them matter.
  12. Do you read manga adaptations of otome games?

    Yes, a few of them introduced me to the games they were adapted from. I enjoyed the Nise no Chigiri manga in particular.
  13. What's a visual deal breaker to you ?

    If a character (who is supposed to know better) holds a weapon wrong, especially if it's unsafe/dangerous to attempt in real life.
  14. First Run in Otome Games: With or Without a Walkthrough?

    I used to play without a walkthrough but after seeing the MC and/or LI in some games die/suffer over and over, I'm pretty much too anxious to play without one anymore. The exception is if it's easy enough to get all the endings without one or there simply isn't one available.
  15. Favorite Otome/BL Songs?

    I have so many otome and BL favorites >w< I love the songs from Ikemen Live to bits, I'm so sad the app is EOS and never even got an English release. My newest otome favorite is the theme song for Crazy Chain, Amour Chain by HAGANE
