Do you play R18 Otome Games?

Bunny Bond is pretty good. It's a chatroom-style game, so there isn't a lot of CG content, but it's really fun, and the love interests have different types.

i enjoy them here and there. i see it as a natural progression between characters. i think i play a lot of the more mature concept ones these days, to add. i'm always on the lookout for something like it!

I very rarely played them, usually the sex scenes are done in a way that doesn't appeal to me

(I used a translation tool for this)

The gift and affinity system is split into two parts: Einherjar and Heartales.

For Einherjar, you need to craft using cauldron recipes. You should wait until you get an SR recipe (gold border) to maximize your materials. These SR recipes are available through events or in the Aurora Grove shop, but I think the currency for Aurora is capped at 70/day. Currently, Einherjar only has two R18 scenes per LI, so there's really no rush :v.

As for Heartales, you have to give Blessed Flowers, with specific flowers for each LI. There are currently four ways to get them daily: exchange 50 flowers in the Daily Exchange, or through Blossom Gifts and Aurora Grove. You can also raid the Twilight Garden in the Challenge section. Plus, there's the Eternity Bouquet from weekly missions; it works for all LIs, gives 500 points, and you get 5 per week.

The gacha system makes it easy to earn tickets, so you can go wild using Gems to buy Blessed Flowers in the shop. To give you an idea, I've played for nearly 4 months and currently have 600 tickets (not exchanged from Gems) without even counting what I've already spent on gacha. Gold is also plenty; almost every event lets you exchange for it, so you'll end up with a surplus anyway. If you're stingy with Gems, you can use gold to buy flowers in Blossom Gifts, though it only offers 1–5 per type and might not have the one you need. But honestly, just buy the 50 flowers in the Daily Exchange. It's cheap and the best value.

Regarding the affinity system, it generally takes a bit of time, but once you hit a certain level, you only need about 10 minutes a day to finish everything. It takes maybe 2–3 weeks to master the routine. If you focus on just a few LIs, you can pretty much max out all their cards in the Heartales section.

For context, I focus on 3 LIs. For every 80 levels, you need about 350 flowers or 15 Eternity Bouquets (I don't remember exactly), and I've maxed out all cards for those three (3 SR, 2 R). I still have over 1,000 flowers of each type left (I don't use the Eternity Bouquets) even though I don't buy from the Daily Exchange often, only when needed. Surprisingly, I also have over 1,000 flowers for each of the other LIs without even touching the Daily Exchange =))).

Overall, the grind isn't harsh. I'd say the resources after 4 months are quite generous :Dd. It just requires a bit of patience because there's very little to do daily unless there's an event, and even then, it's 10 minutes and you're done. Events aren't too overwhelming, and they last a good while. Gacha can even drop 3 SRs in ten pull (crazy, right?), and the 70-pull pity is more than enough =)) unless you're aiming to upgrade cards. Battles are even easier; I only leveled up 4 SR cards with no healer and still haven't hit a wall.

Basically, the game is so easy it's almost boring, or maybe I'm just someone who gets bored easily. Since I don't really spend my Gems, take a guess at how many I have right now, over 86,000. That's enough to exchange for 300 tickets =)))

我喜歡玩乙女遊戲和BL遊戲！但是與男性向遊戲相比，這類遊戲的數量要少得多。

That was used as a promo CG in their official twitter account, that's why I posted without any spoiler. But sure, I'll delete my post.

@goead @tm3033 Thank you both for the helpful messages! I really hope to see more r18 otome games in the future, so whatever I can get my hands on I will gladly play. I look forward to seeing more amazing things in ValkyreHeart! ^^

holy theyre not playing around LOL

I do play them! There's not enough translated ones, sadly. I feel like most of the ones that have English translation or western VNs with 18+ elements tend to be focused more on the 18+ side and that's the point of playing them. I would be interested in more that have those parts, but also cute fluff and a good story.

I just started getting into them, and I do quite enjoy them ^_^,, although some of the smut scenes are just too much for me, especially if they're voiced ᵕ—ᴗ—.

i tend to lean BL over otome when it comes to r18 games, in otomes a lot of times the writing of the r18 scenes just aren't to my preferences so i tend to gravitate more towards non-r18 otomes. i'm definitely not opposed to r18 otomes though.

I haven't really except for one game called bewitching sinners. Personally I really enjoyed that game and the scenes so I have been following their progress on other games as well. They are an indie creator on steam and I personally prefer that over "Mature" otome games from big companies, cause the MC, even after having done this and that, still acts like she is a supershy pure maiden that would combust from touching hands. From what I have seen they are often not that proactive either. like they'll never be the one to initiate or reciprocate enthousiastically which also jsut ruins the vibe for me. I personally find it annoying that so many characters are like that instead of just owning it and being confident and proactive. But yeah that's my two cents on it.

Yall omg I just looked up cursed covenant and I basically got ito a rabbit hole about finding out more about the creator. They used to go by rinmaru games and they are the same creator as the one for the game oathbreaker and Ascension (1, 2 and 3) woww this is a big flashback

yes! i would like to play more if theyr easier to access

I played a few games (under the moon, joubachi no oubou). But right now not many companies want to make 18+ games — I have no idea why, since it seems like there are otome players of all ages...

I've played a few!

Chou no doku, koezaru are my two favorites but there others I want to try too.

Click to expand...

These two are also my favorites!!!! the MC is just <3333

I like to play R18 otome games, or to be more specific, i can play either non R18 or with R18. The R18 ones is attractive beacuse you can hear the LIs erogenous voices HAHHAHA.

My first Otome game was chou no doku, and then koezaru, so these two have a special place in my heart. I have also played the other games from Aromarie, their themes are really particular.

Yoshiwara Higanbana; i quite like this kind of theme (red district, edo or taisho period etc)
No many people have mentioned this game but they have a good visual graphic, and the LIs are not bad neither.

i've played some and want to play more but if the men are too dominant i'd probably skip

haven't yet but I'm reading through this thread for recs

I can play! My favorite is the game from the company Kalmia8. The plot and the female lead are very interesting. Although there are few companies doing Chinese translations now, with AI translation, I can still play smoothly.

My first was Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome, but the extent of my access language-wise is pretty limited I tried braving through MTL with Textractor with Orfleurs, but I lost the plot and missed coherent grammar way too early.

+ Yesss, I'm weak to character voices, and the way they go deeper or closer tickles the brain so finely.

I'm watching the thread for recs too! So long as the games aren't too gory or violent, I cast a pretty huge net.

I'm really weak at the character voices =w=
btw I dont like Gore or violence either, but the games i recommended are safe (?) hahahahah
Well, i dont remember the bad endings... not sure if there was violence or not, maybe confine... not sure

I play R18 otome games a lot!! Even I cannot properly understand Japanese.
My first game is "Akazukin to Mayoi no Mori" and this game come to my favorite game that pull me into the Otome game R18 world until now.

I also love to play "Cho no Douku Hana no Kusari" (Hideo is my main) and "Koezaru wa Akai Hana" (Esta is the best for me!!). And I also have these 2 games with underrate version in PC steaming and also Nintnedo Switch!! (Why I've to buy in both platform, I don't know. haha)

I also play Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome, the fact that's was my first otoge (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！ I didn't play any otoge for now but I'm planning to play similar game to this otoge called 'Fxxk Me Royally!!', I really enjoy otoge! Honestly I'm not so picky about otome so I enjoy them all (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

Yes! My favourite is Chou no doku and Yoshiwara Higanbana. But very few r18 otome game are released these days.
