I remember playing every single new release back in the day, but as time goes by, I definitely just check for new releases and don't actually clear any of them... Still, up until recently, I think I've played about five otome games, including the ones I haven't finished. It makes me sad that the number keeps decreasing

Last year I think it was an average of one commercial otome game per month, but I have yet to finish a single one this year... I find it easier to do my dailies (aka, do lessons/battles, "visit" friends/allies, and use the five daily tickets to read about 5-10 mins worth of story) for a couple of otome mobage in my rotation. And then when I'm in the mood to sit down and play something, I just play an oelvn that could be finished in one sitting, and that could easily be 30+ a year

姐妹，你是用投屏还是直接触屏玩的呀？我的阅读速度真的会被自动拖累，我总是掌握不好节奏，如果不用自动的功能，一直按手柄真的好累I think I'm a pretty fast reader and I also don't play on auto mode or wait for the characters to finish speaking before I move on to the next line.
The key reason is probably because I dedicate most of my free time outside of work / exercise / other commitments to games and when I play, I can go on for hours (on weekends).
Are you playing via screen mirroring or direct touch? My reading speed really gets dragged down by the auto mode — I can never quite get the rhythm right. But if I turn off the auto feature, constantly pressing the controller gets so tiring.

主要是按控制器的（除非Steam游戏不支持控制器，或是我在玩PSV时就直接按PSV键），但没有感觉手会累。不过用久了倒是肩膀会僵硬
I mainly use controllers (unless I'm playing Steam games that don't support controllers, or when I'm playing PSV, I will just press the console buttons directly), but I never felt tired pressing buttons. That said, I do find my shoulders getting stiff from long hours of playing occasionally.

I understand now. I play with various small controllers, and the text in new otome games is very small these days. I use a portable screen, so I can't use touch controls. The controllers you mentioned are gamepads, right? But holding small controllers for long periods actually makes my hands ache too. Sometimes I wish I could play otome games as fast as reading a book. It usually takes me nearly a month to fully complete a game.
我明白了，我是用各种小手柄来玩，乙游新作的字体现在都很小，我使用便携屏，所以无法用触屏~你所说的控制器应该就是手柄吧~但是我长时间握持小手柄，其实手也会觉得酸痛，有时觉得如果玩乙游可以像看书一样快就好了，全通一个游戏，我往往要花费将近一个月的时间

I'm really slow at finishing pc/console games because I get so distracted by mobile games/gachas. Usually 1 a year or 1 every 2 years?
TnC took 7 months in 2021, DMMD took 3 months in 2023, Sweet Pool took 7 months in 2024, and I've been working on Lamento since maybe 2024 until now.
It took me 5 months to finish a route in Jack Jeanne though.

I'm fluent in Chinese / English too, but since I mostly play games in English, I've never knew that Chinese localization keeps a bunch of bonuses too!I'm fluent in Japanese / Chinese / English so I can play both the original and localisations.
I play in Japanese usually for indie titles and games I'm sure won't receive a localisation (stares at Takuyo's games).
I also play Chinese / English indie games (right now I'm playing 搜查一刻 for instance).
For non-indie commercial titles, I prefer playing the localisations if there's the choice (Chinese localisation in particular because the translation quality is better in my opinion and there isn't usually a case of audio bonus not being translated). It's easier for me to read and a major plus is that it also saves me some amount of play time when it comes to bonus contents. E.g. for the audio Q n A bonus, or those CG comment audio bonus, I can just read the translation text instead of listening to each voice line fully playing. Wand of Fortune 2 FD (iirc) had some bonus "bitter chocolate" part where the characters say harsh lines and I'm just glad I don't have to sit through the full audio experience because I'm not a suffering enjoyer
Do you ever replay games in different languages to see the difference between translations?

Hmm, time is limited and my options are plenty so I won't replay a game just to see differences between different languages' translations. (Unless you mean playing to see the difference between source text (JP) and localisation, which is not something I'd do either.)
Knowing the story makes multiple replays less interesting as well. :') There are a few exceptions but usually for games that I replay, I enjoy them less each time.
On another note, If I know the translation is bad (like some Steam games), I'd just play in the source language if I can.
