Which otome game have you started and never finished?

Jack Jeanne.How I hate rhythm games and life simulators. I know the novella is cool, but this is unbearable... I want to smash my laptop. Although I really like the character designs and the heroine's voice acting.

Oh my god, and Dandelion, I still couldn't get the good endings. I was constantly annoyed by the main character's colleague, even though I seemed to be leveling up the heroine well... I had to read other people's routes, which is a shame. I liked Nameless from the same studio, it doesn't have this nonsense with progression.

oof my neverending backlog dungeon... sometimes i go back and remember aah this is why i dropped this game.....

some of them are:
- cendrillon palika
- code realize (IM SORRY 😭🤚 i cant get past the prologue loool maybe bcs i watched the anime first)
- collar malice 💀 again, it's spoiler issue. i've been spoiled by my friend abt the whole plot
- princess arthur (dont really like the premise)
- amnesia later, world (i only enjoyed amnesia memories)
- nekketsu bukatsu trigger kiss ( im stuck in nojiken's route, probs will try to resume playing again)
- chouchou jiken lovesodic (stuck in suwabe's route 😅 im planning to finish all of the routes!! trust)
- etc........... (i cant really remember all)

in general, it's always backlog > finished game for me
 
I don't usually drop a game forever and always end up coming back to finish it, but one that I have absolutely no plans to finish is Sympathy Kiss. I found the LIs uninteresting and the MC doesn't seem to have much presence.
 
Cupid Parasite? I heard that the game have interesting choices/game play? but I'm not into modern setting games unless detective/dark themes... even if it seems to have fantasy elements but I can't get pass the prologue... I'm still in dilemma bcs it's a famous game. also the game with real historical person too... especially Sengoku/Shinsengumi as a whole game... I like game with original plots more (but I'm interest in birushana so I might play it someday...)
 
I rarely finish vns, so its easier to say ones that are finished. I return to some from time to time, but then drop again, it's an infinite circle...

But i probably will never complete:
- Hana Awase (I don't like Iroha to read his disk, and i just can't finish Himeutsugi-hen because of Hime)
- Re:Birthday (played it with friend, reading two LIs each, so neither me or she completed it to unlock secret route of hot teacher Nami.)
- Jack Jeanne (unfinished Kisa's route)
- Cupid Parasite (just not my type of game)
- Collar x Malice (never finished last route)
- Virche (unfinished final route)

For some unknown reason i drop many otomes when i get to secret/locked/true routes... I often enjoy first 2-4 routes, and trying to keep most interesting characters as the last ones, so when the final route unlocks i usually switch to another vn :D

I finish novels if I really really like it, but lately I dropped Nil Admirari no Tenbin because of the slow pace and boring setting... I want to finish it just because of Satoi art style
 
Jooubachi no Oubou Menou Hen. It was a terrible experience. I don't even remember how I got into this otome, but I regretted that decision after the very first route. The MC is extremely naive and can't stand up for herself, but I could have put up with that somehow, but the LIs... they're awful. I have nothing against 18+ scenes in games, but only if they are well written and the characters have normal relationships. Here, it's the opposite: the LIs tormented the poor MC as much as they could. Maybe for some people, this otome isn't so bad, and that's fine. But I couldn't get through this.

Also - Re:Birthday Song ~Koi o Utau Shinigami~. It seems like a good plot, nice art, and a star-studded seiyuu, but I didn't like the game in a certain way because of the MC, Cocoro. She is too naive and trusting, and she has no personality at all.
 
I started kannou mukashi banashi I think 2 years ago its kinda different than other games I've played though never finished it because I rarely had time but maybe someday I'll finish it
 
Jack jeanne. I really liked the first route that I played, but I got bored of the common route after a while with skipping too, and for some reason I didnt return to complete is. Eventually when I have the mood for it I'll finish it. Otherwise I've yet to drop a game completely without the intention of finishing it.

Steam prison, and london detective mysteria. The guys doesn't interest me at all, I do love the mc though.
 
It's the most memorable of the few games that 7'carlet didn't finish. Time hasn't gone by for a few days and there aren't many events, but when I suddenly saw people falling in love, I thought I couldn't do it, so I stopped.
 
Jack Jeanne, Tokimeki memorial I found those too repetitive so they have been unfinished for years now
 
Hana Awase... I finished Mizuchi's volume and really enjoyed the card game grind but couldn't really get into Hime's volume :(
 
For me it's usually an LI I'm just not that interested in that gets me stuck indefinitely. I don't want to skip the route because I always want to finish the whole game, so I end up postponing it forever. For example, it took me over a year to finish Birushana because I got stuck on Benkei (sorry, Benkei fans 😭). After that, the rest was a smooth ride. The most recent one on hold is Piofiore: Episodio 1926 - I'm currently stuck on Orlok's route. 🤷‍♀️
 
The art style and story of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 7 are very appealing, but I really don't enjoy the combat. Do otome games really need to be this complicated?:cry:
 
Bad Apple Wars because PS Vita emulator for PC still not fully supported this game
 
Dairoku something, I can't remember why but I think it was because a lot of otome games came out at that time? And I got distracted... I remember liking what I played from it, so I need to go back when I have time and play it properly
 
i started hakuoki but never actually finished it lol there are just SO many boys and routes that i kind of got overwhelmed 😭 one day when i have a lot of patience i swear i'll go back and play every single route though because i do want to experience all of them eventually
 
ひめひび Another Princess Days ~White or Black
I gave up on the game. I just couldn't stand the fact that they called themselves "unicorns."
 
Not a completionist at all, so most games I play are dropped or stalled, I'm exhausted and seek to play more quality games. The last game I marked as dropped was 'Out of the Ocean' by ebi-hime, and the developer releases too many games for even half of them to be solid. I don't remember its otome counterpart, maybe it was also something from a 'Western' creator.

P. S. It was 'Cafe 0' by ROSEVERTE, whose native language is not Japanese, but I don't know if she is from an English-speaking country.

olysoi... i KNOW it's good, and i know akaza is the best but i never fully moved on from riku (for some reason, also he's the first recommended route LOL), and no matter what route i did after, my heart was NOT in it... also, the flashbacks, so many flashbacks.

I heard Russian translators cut off a lot of the repetitive flashbacks, so there is this audience that experiences the game better due to this change
