I love softer voices!! Not child-like voices, but just like gentle and smooth voices like Hirakawa Daisuke, Keisuke Aikawa, Tetsuya Kakihara, Tachibana Shinosuke. God i wish Hirakawa did more cds because I love his unique voice so much
Probably the Inma Kyoiku (Inma Education) series, especially Sasai's route, I love Keisuke Aikawas voice so much 😭 but every volume in the series is so good, and its cool and how the characters stories are linked!! and the art is also some of the best I've ever seen
Noritsune's route in Birushuana is PEAK enemies to lovers!!! Him and MC are both evenly matched with no power imbalances, just straight rivalry and angst and yearning and confusion 😭 the trope is even more interesting because he thinks Shanao is a man!!
I actually started to tear up a bit in...
Im way too impatient after waiting years for an fd, theres no way I can responsibly contain my excitement and play the original first 😂 especially if I can finally romance some side characters I've been dying for!!
Ok may be controversial but i hated Riku's route in OS. He barely redeems himself before Olympia started falling over herself and started liking him 😭 like mind you, this man is initially a bigoted and classist man and he barely shows any signs of development apart from being nice to Olympia...
I think caleb is the most interesting, i like him and mcs dynamic the most! I love the subtle things in their relationship, like how caleb wishes mc relied on her more (in one of his cards he looks disappointed when mc reaches for a plate thats too high on the shelf for her, and you can tell she...
I love an unexpected change in personality, like especially if they seem mischieveious or rebellious but actually is a softie inside, i reallyyy need recs of LIs like these because they seem so rare </3 I feel like writers tend to do the innocent but secretly naughty trope more instead of the...
Im obsessed with the character design in virche, theyre just so crisp and clean, particularly Yves my beautiful darling
Also love all the ikemen villains designs!! Elbert, Jude and Schwarz my belovedd
I was looking for games to play on the app store and came across the Shall We Date games... a classic. I literally downloaded every one and they had me in a chokehold for years but I never finished them since the games were always so money hungry lol. I moved on to Voltage otome games and Kings...
Dandere, deredere or kuudere!!! Basically all the green flags lol, especially if the kuudere has a soft spot or insane gap moe 🥺 the best example is Artem from tears of themis!!
I also find tsunderes really cute when done right (like Tyril), but sometimes theyre done badly (like Ryuki from...
Mystic Prince!!!! Omg I need more people to talk about this. MC is a cross dresser and is part of the 20 princes competing for the next throne. The men are fiiiine
Rightttt like Shelby was sweet but Owen was sooo fine, i literally had no interest in the other LIS too :(
Kanan is such a jerk but he has no business being that hot, it was giving me mixed feelings 😅
It's a compulsory experience for all otome players to fall in love with side characters that you cant romance 🥹 it seems like otome devs want to torture players by making the hottest LI a side character... with that said, which unromanceable side character broke your heart the most?
I'll go...
Absolutely need to have the games music!! Unless the music is absolutely trash but I've never encountered that lol, I need music to set the ambiance!! Its such a powerful way to create mood and evoke certain feelings, especially during emotional moments!! When certain scenes started playing in...
I love Rosa from tears of themis, shes so active and smart!!! VN-wise im yet to find an MC that impresses me, unpopular opinion but even Byakuya from OS who started out strong fell completely flat at the end :/ although I do like Shana from Birushana and shes definitely one of the more enjoyable...
Honestly no lol, I like to stay in my bubble of imagination and I feel like cast talks break my immersion so I actually actively try to avoid them 😓 I dont even search VAs up irl to see what they look like, i just want to keep them as an imaginary voice in my head instead of relating them to...
Im usually not a fan of shouta LIs but something about Tokisada from olympia soiree makes me have 2nd thoughts. I think its because Tokisada was the most normal of the LIs and it was just refreshing to see someone who treated olympia like a friend first and foremost. I couldn't care less about...
