Can you imagine yourself in the place of the main character?

I think a lot of heroines represent what an ideal woman is supposed to be so putting yourself in her position feels bad or awkward because no real life person is so kind and selfless etc 😔 of course the same thing can be said for the love interests though.

Audio drama are definitely made for self insert though haha they're very immersive
 
I play Otome games feeling more like I'm acting out the role of the main character than identifying with her.
When I find that difficult, I try to enjoy the game from a third-person perspective.
 
Yeah i can sometimes or if i want, i used to self insert alot but it's being pretty hard lately since i no longer do ( or not as much as before ) probably bc mcs used to really be just for insert when there's more n more heroines you don't specifically relate or insert as that u still like !! ( ceres in my heart forever ) but i can if i really want !!! ( + if the mc is faceless like in olddd otomes )

It's hard to tell. For example, during certain confession scenes, I was giggling and kicking my feet while listening to the LI, and it just felt like my own little moment. Even when I saw him kissing the MC, it didn't feel like it was me. I still felt like I was part of the situation, though. If the LI isn't my type, I'm just like, "yey, congrats" and I'm out of the picture
 
I never imagined myself in the place of MC, even in games specifically made for self-insert. I just get fully immersed into the story and enjoy the emotions I get from the game. So I never felt like I was in the place of the main character

I think most of the time I do imagine myself in the place of the mc because I like to self insert and immerse myself in the story, kind of like reading a book in first person. But I also have no problems jumping in and out of first and third person pov! Just really depends on my mood haha

I try to imagine myself aa the mc, but it's really hard - I don't live the kind of life that most of those girls do, which is fine, but it makes it totally impossible for me to imagine that sort of thing.

I still change their name to mine, though !

I always try to do so, I'm very much a self insert MC. I prefer those amare games then I do Otome. For me it breaks the immersion of the game, especially when the MC has such a different personality to me. I prefer the one where I don't see the MC unless it's in CG's
 
It depends. If the mc is relatable, I can imagine myself as the main character. Otherwise, the mc just feels like another person with their own personality and I'm the guide watching over them.
 
I think I end up imagining myself as the main character, but sometimes, I call out to them when they do something stupid xD
 
기본 현실적으로 평범하게 사랑하는 내용이나 히로인에 이입하기 쉬운 내용이라면 주인공이 되서 몰입하는것을 즐깁니다! 그렇지만 근친이라던지 얀데레계 폭력적인 작품이나 히로인의 성격이 독특한 설정이 있는경우는 조금 한발자국 떨어져서 제3자 입장으로 보게되기도 하네요..! 😌😌

I'm actually pretty good at self-inserting! 😂 One of the things I enjoy most about these games is being able to put myself in the protagonist's place and experience the story as if it were happening to me. I guess I just really enjoy being the one everyone falls for. 😂 It makes me happy to experience all of that through the game, even if it's not something I experience in real life.

The only time I have trouble self-inserting is when the protagonist has very strong opinions or a personality that feels completely different from mine. Otherwise, I can usually slip into the protagonist's role pretty easily. 😁
 
Yup, i do imagine myself as the mc most of the time! It's not really hard to try to put myself in their shoes, since i guess i'm quite a dreamer. I just love feeling and experiencing the world as if i were there, and it makes me enjoy the game much more in that way.

I always imagine myself as the main character too! It makes the whole story so much more engaging and immersive for me.
