I don't mind games with routes that end in parenthood, but I don't actively go looking for those, if that makes sense. I'm okay with the MC and LI not having children at the end, but if it happens, it happens, and that's okay with me, too.
My advice is that if you still like the work, then still consume it; you don't have to stop enjoying it just because they said so (if you feel a way about it, then maybe pirate it?). If you want to be nuanced, I'd say try to understand where the author is coming from. Maybe there was more to...
Here here!🍻🍻🥳🥳
Well said, it would get tiring really quickly. Similarly, I can't handle nonchalance or aloofness anymore. I like people who can enthusiastically express interest. It's easy to forgive in fiction because usually we can see from the character's perspective that they are...
I love how you added a pervy one in the poll 😂 I love the dominant & possessive types, but tbh any love interest that has an intense yearning/is pining hopelessly after the MC is my cup of tea. If we get to see just how deeply the love interest has fallen for the MC, how much they live rent-free...
I have no problem with platonic routes tbh. Sometimes you just wanna embrace the power of friendship and found family and not rack up romance points lol 😂 I play mainly romance games, but I don't mind platonic routes at all.
Especially when the LI falls hard for MC, and we have the option to not fall at that moment. Chef's kiss.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, am I right?😂 I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers tropes as well; they're usually so fluffy and wholesome, which is always great.
When I tell you I feel...
Same for me too. I self-insert in games, and I love it when the MC plays a big part in the story. Not necessarily having the plot revolve around them, I don't even mind them being a side character of sorts. What I mean is that I like it when the MC can affect people's lives or opinions. I like...
I think you've summed up my opinion lol. Heavily agree with 'I'd just grab a romance book'. I use these games for escapism, so I like to self-insert or create my own characters to be in that world.
I felt it in my soul 😂💔. I specifically went through this for interactive fiction or visual novel games(an example of a similar situation is when I played Our Life Beginning's and Always - Cove's route multiple times, and my sister gifted me Baxter's DLC for my birthday). I played his route and...
Not sure if this has already been done, but a female librarian becomes a magnet for hot supernatural men who want her power. She's basically catnip to these men, and her life gets turned upside down as she basically becomes the chosen one and has to offer her body in exchange for protection from...
Is it greedy to ask for both? 😂 I'd love more choices. As you said, it's nice to see how my decisions impact others and the world around my MC. It's also really fun to see how love interests, or any character really, react to what my MC has said or remember what they said or did. Really amps up...
I can relate to being jealous. It's not that I don't want the RO to be happy after the MC has found love; it's obviously unrealistic to assume that people don't have other people they might be interested in or have people who are interested in them, but the problem, imo, is execution. More often...
#TeamSelfInsert 🤣🤣🤣 tbh I dislike the name self-insert because 9/10 I'm not using my name, I craft an OC and insert them in the game but I guess that's almost the same thing💀 I just don't like not being given the choice to pick my name, yeah it sucks if there are voiced lines and it sounds weird...
Agreed, normally the two options don't really leave enough room for exploration if that makes sense? It kind of feels like those quotev quizzes 'which hogwarts house are you in?' You already know what the ending each choice will give you, but it doesn't feel satisfying. Especially if the two...
Same! Omg, I think it's been years since I played an otome game💀, I think the last time I played them was when Voltage Inc games were their own separate apps on Google Play Store 😂💔
The IF game scene really does have a lot of diversity in character archetypes, and there's usually much more...
If the writer is unable to give each route the same level of content or to flesh out the relationships between the love interests and the MC beyond the superficial, then it's too much. Personally, that usually happens when there's more than five love interests. However, I truly believe that...
