Any otome game getting an English translation would be awesome! Some personal picks though would be: CLOCK ZERO, Wand of Fortune, Trouble Magia, the rest of the QuinRose Alice series, etc...

Sometimes things just don't pan out and projects fall through. Are there any you'd like to reminisce about? I remember back in the day, I was excited for Yandere Heaven Affection Bunny Cage. It was supposed to be a R18 otome game inspired by the Yandere Heaven CD series with original...

All the art shared so far is so lovely! I wish I could show my appreciation for games through artwork but I don't have the skillset for it currently. Maybe one day in the future...

Yes, you are correct. In Japanese, sub characters are what native English speakers would call side characters, not submissives. It's most likely a case of waseieigo ("fake" English loan words, where terms can be traced to English but are used very differently - another example would be how...

When I'm out and about, I will use my phone to play a game. Mobile devices are easier to carry around and depending on specs, can also run other console and PC games through emulation. Modern handhelds like the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, while technically handhelds, lack the portability of...

Although I like physical media, I tend to go for digital games because there's more (and steeper) sales on the digital storefronts than the average GameStop. I am more likely to pay the full retail price of limited or collector's editions but the quality hasn't been great for them lately...

I like them as long as it's not too tedious. JackJeanne's rhythm mini games were cute at first but there's only a handful of songs with no variation between the 7 routes. If the upcoming sequel also recycles the same few songs I hope they inplement a feature where you can skip the rhythm game if...

I try to 100% games as much as possible. I would even go through all dialogue options even if the guide says it's a selection that doesn't affect the ending just to see what happens (sometimes it leads to nothing special, but sometimes you're rewarded the funniest dialogue ever). There's only a...

I loved the atmosphere and language deciphering gameplay of Homicipher! It was such a unique experience. It's so unfortunate that it's popularity brought about the wrong kind of audience and attention to the developer, to the point they had to step back and will likely not publish new games nor...

I like it when the MC and LIs are closer in age because it allows them to interact more naturally as opposed to having to tiptoe around age-based social hierarchy. If there is a noticeable age gap, I usually prefer LIs who are older than the MC because they tend to be closer to my age and are...

Wow, we have similar experiences! I also started with Pacthesis's games then found other free indie otome like RE:Alistair++. My first paid JP games were actually Voltage Inc mobile otome but shortly after I bought Hakuoki on PSP as my first console game.

I like artbooks, plushies, and the practical daily life items. Unfortunately these merch types aren't as readily available. Acrylic stands seem to be the most commonly sold merch type in the JP otome sphere but I don't have space to display them and also I find the 3000yen+ pricetag too high for...

Him, the Smile & bloom Hokuto route... He seemed like a character I would like on paper (the reliable older brother type) but the execution was not it. He was so frustratingly stupid and wishy-washy.

I think 5 or 6 LIs is the sweet spot because gives players variety to hopefully find one who their type but not being so much that the writing gets compromised. Otome with large casts can and have worked in the past but personally I feel like there have been more misses than hits.

Obviously having both a good plot and a good romance is ideal but if I had to choose only one, I would prefer a well-written romance in my otomes since that's the definiting feature of the genre. Otherwise there are lots of other great visual novels to try outside of otome if plot is what you...

I'd like to see body type diversity. I feel like most games stick to the 細マッチョ type and then add 1 slightly buffer guy and maybe 1 scrawnier guy too if they're feeling generous. Where are the muscular to the point of manboobs characters or the ones with a cute belly? Creators could also play...

I like manga but I read more manhwa these days mainly because of the convenience of it being easier to read on a smartphone. The paneling of manga isn't optimized for mobile reading and sometimes I had to zoom and drag the images all around to be able to read all the little text boxes whereas...

I like both slice-of-life and the more fantastical stories. It's also nice to be able to alternate between them to avoid getting fatigued by a particular genre's tropes and patterns. Even your favorite food would loose some of its charm if you had to eat it for every meal every single day.

Unintentionally funny typo in Cafe Enchante:

I don't know the name of the artist but I love their work in Light & Night! Not only are the characters handsome but I really appreciate how much care goes into the tiny details of the clothing textures.
