Do you clear all the characters in an otome game before starting a new one?

I used to do every route first because when I started playing otome games there weren't many localized ones, so I didn't have many to choose from compared to today lol. Nowadays I tend to jump around between a few otome games after finishing a route, mainly because my backlog is so huge and I get curious of other games haha, but if I'm really invested in the game I end up finishing all the routes before playing another one. Even though I jump around a lot, I almost always do every route. I only skip if I absoluetly have to. However, recently I've been thinking maybe I should go back to what I was doing previously just so that the story flows better and I won't have forgotten some of the stuff that happened.

I know I'll never finish a game once I start a new one =))) My perfectionism doesn't help, worse. So I try to complete it first, just to get bored of that game and end up not playing anything at all for a year or so =))) Such a pain.

It's not like I get confused playing multiple games at once, but most of the time I just can't bring myself to do it. Not just for VNs, but any type of game =)))"

Depends !! Im sometimes sooo focused on an otome game that i genuinely play it for hours and days without looking at the others xD, but there's time when i buy a game start playing for some hours and leave it to play other ones 😭 thy usually end in my backlog games after…but i essentially force myself into finishing one first before continuing!!
 
I usually try to complete all the LIs' routes if possible... but sometimes I skip LIs that really aren't my type (like, I'm personally not a fan of older characters lol). If there's an LI whose route unlocks only after clearing others, I might just look up a guide and rush through their Best Ending, skipping the Good and Bad endings entirely.
 
I've sadly never completed every single route in an otome game. I'm just not the type to enjoy every personality a game has to offer, and there are plenty of character archetypes that simply aren't my thing
 
I usually try to finish a game completely before starting the next one. Maybe not always 100%, though—for example, I don't try to collect all the illustrations (if that requires consulting the walkthrough too often).
The exception—games like Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side. For these, I just couldn't bring myself to play through the whole thing over and over again, so I had to take breaks - usually after completing two routes.
 
I like to 100% so I'll try to clear every route but if I can't get myself to keep going then I would move on to the next one
