I dropped Piofiore halfway through because I found it a bit boring, but the art style is so gorgeous that I’ll definitely pick it up again in the future.
I like to use guides when I play because I basically see otome games as voiced visual novels. Using guides just make the story feel much more seamless.
Personally, I find Japanese grammar really difficult. I bought some textbooks to try self-studying, but it didn't really work out. So, if I plan to continue learning Japanese in the future, I might try taking some online courses instead.
Ever since I started playing otome games, I've found myself increasingly yearning for and admiring the pure, unwavering affection the LIs have for the heroines. It feels like my standards for my own relationships have gotten higher. Additionally, because there are some absolute favorite LIs I...
It's hard to say, because I strictly follow the recommended route order, so the LI I like at first sight isn't necessarily at the very end. If there's no recommended order, I tend to save my favorite character's route for last.
Blackish House! I love Rei so much that I replayed his route shortly after finishing it. I typically only go back to a specific LI's route that I like, rather than playing the whole game from the beginning.
Maybe you can check out the game Watashi no Real wa Juujitsu Shisugiteiru. I feel like the overall vibe is fairly relaxing, the story is quite simple, and it's a rather short playthrough.
