I always self-insert when I play otome games, but at the same time, I also see the MC as her own character. It's kind of hard to explain, but I basically play with the mindset that I'm dating the LI, while also being aware that the MC and LI are the ones actually in a relationship, and that the...

Honestly, I've never used AI chatbots before, so I'm not sure I can really speak from experience here. 😅 But personally, I think I'd rather play an otome game with a story that someone has carefully written and crafted than create the story alongside an AI. Even if AI is involved in the...

I've always loved historical settings! I enjoy European history, but I'm also really fond of Japanese historical otome games like Hakuoki. Chinese historical settings like Sangoku Rensenki are fascinating too! I especially love seeing the LIs dressed in traditional clothing, and I find it so fun...

If they're an LI, Level 1 is probably my limit. Anything beyond that would be a little hard for me to get into. I'm a pretty hardcore self-insert player, so once it goes beyond Level 1, it starts feeling less like I'm actually dating a person, if that makes sense? But if they're just an NPC...

I'm most familiar with manga. Actually, I tend to like slightly older manga, like Naruto and One Piece. As for web novels, I've never really read any Japanese or Chinese ones. The only Korean web novel I know is Solo Leveling, haha.

I really dislike people smoking in real life too, but for some reason, I'm totally fine with it in otome games. Maybe it's because, at the end of the day, it's a game and I don't actually have to smell the smoke myself? 😂 Although… if we ever get fully immersive VR otome games in the distant...

I usually look on Twitter!! I've seen quite a lot of TMGS fanart there, as well as Haruka fanart!!

Just so you know, there actually is a butler route in Butterfly's Poison; Blood Chains. It started out as an 18+ PC game, though the Switch version toned down the adult content. It might be worth a look if you're interested—he's 37 too, so if you like that kind of age gap, you could check it out 👀

Wow, I love Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon Age: Origins too! I really liked Alistair in Origins, and in BG3… well, I know this is an otome game community, but if I'm being honest, I actually romanced Shadowheart. 😂 I'm a huge self-insert/immersive player, so I usually play as a female MC and...

I mostly play Switch games too, and I usually use an emulator on PC since I need to use a translator, haha. So I end up playing them pretty much the same way!

I'd love to see an otome game with MC customization! Even just being able to choose between short and long hair would make me so happy. And personality customization too! Like, if you pick a more cool-headed personality, the MC's dialogue and choices would actually reflect that, while a sweeter...

Childhood friends!! And I especially love it when the childhood friend LI has secretly been in love with the MC all along. I'm happy with either version—where everyone around them can tell except the MC, or where he's so good at hiding his feelings that even the people around them have no idea...

I usually go into my first playthrough completely blind. That way, I might end up getting a happy ending or a bad ending... there's something fun about not knowing what you're going to get! That said, I actually prefer seeing the bad endings first. Personally, I like saving the happy ending for...

These three Otomate games — Shakou no Lyla, Tlicolity Eyes, and Kataomoi Contrast — are actually built around love triangles as their main premise! Unfortunately, I haven't played any of them myself, so I can't really speak to how good they are in terms of story or overall quality. But you can...

Hmm, I do think that bad music can hurt the immersion, but I don't think I've ever personally had that experience. There are definitely some games where the soundtrack really stood out to me—in particular, Norn9 comes to mind. I absolutely loved the music in that game! But I honestly can't think...

I definitely prefer shorter common routes! I want to spend as much time as possible with each LI and really enjoy their individual stories. That's why Piofiore: Fated Memories was so satisfying for me. The common route is incredibly short, lol. If you're someone who enjoys shorter common routes...

Personally, I'm not really into LIs who are overly innocent, quirky, cute, or childlike. I do like energetic and cheerful LIs, though, so it's interesting how there can be such a fine line between the two for me. I also tend to struggle with LIs who are significantly older than the MC, as well...

I really like Kansai dialects too! I'm not Japanese, so I can't really tell the difference between Kyoto-ben, Nara-ben, and so on, haha. Where I live, regional dialects tend to have a very lively, sometimes even a little rough-around-the-edges image. That's why I find Kyoto-ben so...

I love historical otome games too! I really like Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, and Sangoku Rensenki! haha. And I absolutely LOVE the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side series. I adore every single installment!!

Usually, those characters aren't available right away and you have to clear the other LIs first, right? But while I'm playing through their routes to get to the secret LI, I always end up falling for one of the other LIs instead... So I feel like the secret LI has rarely ever ended up being my...
