Also i'm kinda curious, did you self insert when playing otome game??
I aways prefer otome heroine with sprite, because it makes the heroine more alive as character.
Also, I usually always see the heroine as her own character, and I think of myself as a third person.
How about you guys??
 
I don't really do self-insert, and I also prefer heroines with sprites because they always look great and have so much charm. I love seeing them properly as characters in their own right.
That said, I do get a bit annoyed when they lack expressions or when their design hides too much of their face (like bangs covering the eyes), but I can't remember a specific example right now, it just happens sometimes lol 😅
 
I do not much do self insert bcs i just cant feel related with them. I dont really have kind hearted, gentle persona.. like seriously how you guys still can slipped or forgive the ml so easily???

But yeah, i do really adore that one heroine from Kankinkon game (Should i call this a game thou?). Even i feel so sorry for tragic and traumatic she's been trough, i really like so much how she can stand up to herself and not accept the love from ML.

Or maybe bcs my aromantic ass couldnt grasp the character heroine when they doing romantic tease and lovely time session. Yep... Thats not me at all 🫠

im fine with either! though i prefer having sprites, since im not much of a selfinserter, and even if i feel the need to, i can selfinsert just fine even with heroine sprites turned on (considering there are few otome where heroine is completely absent from cgs). also, i love seeing her being all emotional and stuff:D
to put it simply, i like having a choice of having or not having a sprite for heroine, instead of just not having it at all. kinda like with h scenes in eroge
 
I like when they have sprite and face.. to me it is more like reading a book, so I don't self insert, but like enjoying some other people's tea and gossip / life story haha
 
I prefer it when they have a sprite, but they also need to have a face. I don't like it when they don't have eyes. I don't really self-insert, so that might be why. I like it when the MC is their own character with their own thoughts, because I like seeing both the MC and LI fall in love with each other, not just the LI falling in love with me.
 
I prefer a MC with a sprite more, since I'm not that into self insert =)) But maybe because I cant related to them, they're just so urgg sometimes, I'm not really that kind hearted, illogical or selfless. The best way for me is to watch them from a third person perspective, or imagine myself as an actor playing the MC role :'Dddd

I love the sprites!!!! Seeing all their cute expressions are just the best; it also helps if I misread somthing/misunderstand what they are saying if the mcs expression doenst match what I thought I read I'll go back and reread to figure out what I missed the first time. d( > _・ )
 
With sprites, always! I don't enjoy faceless MCs as I don't self-insert. It's always best to have them I think, since games will almost always let you turn off MC portrait in options ;b
 
I don't self-insert so I definitely prefer the sprites. I love seeing the expressions the MC makes, they're so cute and I especially love MCs who are really expressive because you sometimes get some funny and unique expressions from them. I like how the sprites help the MC feel more involved and part of the story. You also get to see what she's going through and gives her personality.

I like it with a sprite, but I don't mind if it doesn't have eyes, an expression, or even if there isn't one at all—but the sprite adds that special touch to the story, so I prefer it if I'm given the option to have one. plus it helps convey the protagonist's feelings better or how she narrates to us (thanks to the different expressions). The text is excellent on its own, but for me, that adds the perfect touch—not to mention that it gives us a reason to understand why the boys fell in love with her, since many of them are beautiful both inside and out, and describing their appearance and personality this way really brings them to life.

Not a fan of self inserts, also i like mc with sprite. Otomate is really good in adding little details to their mc outfit, motif, and accessories and i like looking at them.

I prefer Otome Heroines with sprites. The presence of spirit in their characters allows for diverse personalities, enabling players to connect more deeply with and empathize with the game's storyline.

I love it when the heroine has a sprite! It helps me gauge how she's feeling based on her expressions.

I never self-insert and struggle with ones that are self-insert (like Our Life). I love getting to know the MC, seeing her expressions, and better yet, hearing her voiced lines. Too bad there are so few. The handful I know were Norn9 heroines and VariBari's Hibari.

I don't do self insert, and I love heroine with sprite. Because I want to see her expression and how she reacts with others in-game.

スプライトで描かれたヒロインも好きです。それは私が彼女たちに自分を投影しているからではなく、彼女たちの話し方、選択、表情といったものに惹かれるからです。ヒロインと恋愛対象とのやり取りを見ていると、彼女たちの魅力にワクワクします。
