  1. Do you use the Auto Play function when reading VNs?

    Clicking through a game myself is a lot more satisfying because I can read at my own pace and decide how long I want to interpret or stay on a line. Also, the first few times I've encountered auto-play it was on accident and hated it and when I tried to actively use it myself it was either too...
  2. LIs having romances with other characters

    Yeah, except for Vexx, Ayame, Calderon (though, where did this come from?!), and June's routes it undermines the MC and makes it feel like they're intruding on an already active relationship. MEANWHILE, the game said that Sebastian and Ryona and Damon and his ex were not interested in each...
  3. LIs having romances with other characters

    The most egregious part is the game doesn't have anything different per route. You get the same scenes pretty much except for different dialogue lines and flavor text depending on who MC is romancing. She (Aerie; writer of Andromeda Six) told fans this wouldn't happen until it showed up in game...
  4. Does it bother you that most VNs only give you two options when making choices?

    It does, and they sometimes don't even have the excuse of it being for branching paths as most games I play who have 2 to sometimes 7 dialogue choices have almost the exact same game play but with different endings. Even games I enjoyed have this.
  5. LIs having romances with other characters

    I think it was rude on her (the main developer) part. When I played a few months ago this wasn't in the game and now that the game is near completion, when many have pledged to her and her game for years, she has added this content despite saying that any pairings except for the one poly route...
  6. LIs having romances with other characters

    Is this a recent development? I haven't played the game in a few months. I've got to say, I'm not really a fan of this. Plus it kind of undermines what the writer has said previously about the cast (except for potentially Vexx and Damon in the poly route) and what the game has to say...
  7. What are your favorite indie VNs? - Otome, Amare, and BL

    I've loved all their games that I've played so far so I'll definitely play this after I play another of their games, Dead Man's Rest. Wow, thank you!! I've played some and liked them too but the rest I haven't played. I'll check them out.
  8. What are your favorite indie VNs? - Otome, Amare, and BL

    I've been thinking on this a lot because the last few I've played have been disappointing (I've probably not been carefully looking, though). I'd like to know which ones you consider to be the best. I'm less picky about art when it comes to indie games as they have less resources to work with so...
  9. UI in Otome and BL games: how much does it matter?

    One of the best visual examples of cyber aesthetics imo. I once saw a steam review saying it was better look than Cyberpunk 2077 (...I agree. There's something off about the style despite being visually impressive.) Nitro Chiral's UI has always suited their games amazingly but Dramatical...
  10. Feeling Awkward about English Voice Acting

    It's typically not the romantic lines that make people cringe but the way the lines are performed. You can tell they're trying to act and can tell they're putting on a voice. Voice Direction can sound terrible even in AA or AAA games so personally I think it's more on the VAs (though I'm heavily...
  11. UI in Otome and BL games: how much does it matter?

    Good UI that matches the game puts me into the story more easily. That, or when a game has minimal UI.
  12. How many LIs are too many?

    I think 7 is all I can take and even that is pushing it. 8 or more and I'm going to start questioning the development choices and assume the game is unbalanced.
  13. Character × yourself. Does this genre exist in your country too?

    I grew up noticing fan works with OCs that seemed too close to the authors. This gradually just became people making x reader fics instead of making self-insert OCs. I think they've always existed but it's become more acceptable to speak about it and actually say that you ship yourself with a...
  14. Who is your favorite Nitro+CHiRAL main character?

    This is too hard!!! Aoba if I had to pick.
  15. Enemies to lovers tropes

    Whenever I've seen it done so far, especially in books, it always falls flat. The enemies aren't truly enemies and the period between when they turn from enemies to lovers happens too quickly and unrealistically. I actually never played a route where I can actually say it was enemies to lovers...
  16. What is one side character from any otome/BL that you think deserves to have their own route?

    I agree! It's always the male best friends!!! Them, or the random mysterious side character who sometimes is the most interesting character.
  17. Your opinion on otome gacha games

    I dislike them and stay away. Any enjoyment from the story is lost due to having a terrible game play loop.
  18. Do you enjoy parody games, or do you think there's still a public stigma attached to the romance and dating sim genre?

    Intent matters. The most recent parody game was a cash grab, even disregarding that some of the writers were romance VN/IF authors (This is about Date Everything). Even the ones I enjoyed I still scratch my head over. Even good intent doesn't translate to people unfamiliar with the genre so...
  19. Do you clear all the characters in an otome game before starting a new one?

    It depends how good the game was and how much I enjoyed the writing and routes. I won't complete certain routes if I know I won't like them based on the character introduction and certain personality traits.
  20. What pulls you first when getting into an otome game/BL?

    The art, the premise, and then the writers and company. I will sometimes skip a game if I don't like the art which is a shame.
