Was there an otome you regretted starting?

Just hated everyone in Amnesia save for one guy. couldn't get through to the locked route
props to mini-games tho lol
 
Virche Evermore -- I felt like it was trying to shove the tragic elements down your throat to the point where it was tiring. Also, in general, was a super confusing and disjointed game especially with the "sci-fi" parts
 
Olympia Soiree, unfortunately. I saw that it had a positive reception and the art was all sparkly and pretty. I should've known better though. The premise of it was kind of dubious to me, to begin with, but I thought the execution and pacing (for the romance) was also lacking. While it's not the worst game I've played, it's definitely the most disappointing.

At least I know now to think twice about, or at least do my research before playing another game written by Katagiri Yuma, like Tengoku Struggle, which already got some mentions here. Her works seem to have a common theme I've noticed, that I don't care for...
 
Probably Piofiore. I kept seeing posts from people who loved it, so I tried it, but i just thought it was boring. It's the reason I haven't picked up Mistonia's Hope. I got through one route, didn't care for it, but then everyone kept saying a certain LI was the best ever so I played his route too and I just did not like it. Every so often I feel bad, thinking I should go back and finish everything, and maybe I will one day, but it's currently at the bottom of my backlog.
 
It's really hard for me to have an otome i would regret since even if its just one route i enjoyed then i'm satisfied. If i were to name one though it would be charade maniacs from start til end I never really enjoyed it and with the numerous routes in there I regret giving it my time lmao
 
Lover Pretend...I didn't hate it, but it didnt hook me after playing over an hour-ish..
 
uchronia/itehari... ill probably pick it up again someday but the common route did nothing to make me emotionally attached to the characters whcih is my driving force in all otoges..... i just wasnt feeling it i guess
 
Even if Tempest. The plot made me angry from the beginning, people praise the MC for not being stupid and maybe she does get better later on but to me she was irritatingly dumb in the beginning so I dropped it.
 
I regret playing a game the most when I feel like the story is weak or doesn't hold together.
There have been a few times when a game had good reviews, so I played it, but it just wasn't my thing.
 
Hiiro No Kakera. Good plot storyline but it was insanely boring to read. And being a 100% completion perfectionist, this was a painful struggle.

Sympathy Kiss It's mind-numbingly boring, I only managed to stick with it through two routes before I couldn't go on anymore.
 
Hakuoki whaaaat? who said that?\(º □ º l|l)/
Yeah, I wish I never started it because I could always live in the land of
'I don't dislike it, I just haven't played it!!' instead of I actually played it and disliked the routes I played.

With how many fans singing its praises, I wish I could feel the same and that could have possibly tainted my experience going into it with SUCH high hopes (but it was many years ago!! we took what we could get english-release wise!!) but regardless, yeah, I just have no inclination to struggle through it once more for disappointment. o(TヘTo)
