How often do you replay otome/BL games? If you do, do you only replay certain routes/parts or whole game?

I never replayed anything so far, especially cause I still haven't run out of BL games I want to play yet. The only routes I've been considering replaying are Kouichi from Haiiro no Arcadia (especially if this VN ever gets an English localization) and Noiz from Dramatical Murder (tho I wouldn't replay his route's ending as I didn't like it). But so far I'm caught up in playing VNs and routes I haven't experienced yet so I don't have the motivation to get a replay going.

Sometimes I like to replay the routes of my favorite characters, it helps me to see whether anything has changed in the way I understand them or the lore. It's always exciting, because most of the time I realize the characters have opened up to me in a completely different way. The same thing happens when you reread the same book in the different periods of your life, I think? (*＾＾*)//

I usually replay otome/BL games when I'm in a good mood, about once every few months. When I replay, I sometimes choose to experience only the routes of specific characters because I'm particularly interested in their stories. Of course, sometimes I also choose to replay the entire game, especially when I want to experience the whole story again.

I've only replayed a WHOLE game once, and it was a replay of my absolute favorite after a few years and forgetting a good chunk of it (Collar x Malice and it's fandisc). Otherwise, if I go back to a completed game I just replay the route I liked the most, or certain scenes that really grabbed me. My otome backlog screams at me if I look over at the ones I've already completed! Haha

Depends on how easy to access the game is, like I might not get back to my house, sit my booty down in front of a pc just to replay a game every time but if it's on my mobile phone, I can check it occasionally anywhere suitable (like isolate corners and toilet stalls and such, because I am not playing stuff that I play with anyone near me even when it doesn't even contain sexual content)

I haven't replayed a single route yet. Instead, I tend to just watch specific scenes or cutscenes that left a strong impression on me or that I want to see again. I simply don't have the time to read through all that dialogue again. After all, there are still so many games I need to play.
