What would you think of otome games without the option to change the MC's name?

I don't care. I don't self insert + I liked hearing the protags voiced.

I prefer to have a choice rather than not

well that would be quite a problem as I play otome by self inserting;; but still if the game is good i would still play it. Id just be a bit saddened that i cant change the name!

It doesn't matter to me; I always play using the game's default names.

I feel like when I'm given a default name, it sometimes lets me look through the eyes of someone else, or another version of me in a different world.

That being said, I know most users prefer to choose their own names. Personally, I don't really attach that much meaning to it.
