  1. WORST official translations of otome & BL ?

    I remember that there were some Magic House games that used to be sold on Steam before being taken down at some point. They were outright machine translated and terrible to read. There's also Him, the Smile & Bloom before there was an update patch to fix it. It wasn't that too bad, but it was...
  2. Do you play R18 Otome Games?

    I don't mind R18 otome games, but I live with others and they sometimes come into my room so I would be super embarassed to play them while they're there lol
  3. Do you track how long you play a game? If so, how do you do it?

    Don't really pay attention much to my tracked hours, but I mostly use playnite and steam which does come with it automatically. I'm also thinking of using RomM to manage roms and emulators, and it does also have play time tracking
  4. What do you think about BL elements appearing in otome works?

    Don't really care about it if it's just between secondary characters, but it's a no to it being between LIs. Certain people on social media pretty much killed my interest in there being BL in otome games lol And I don't like it when the MC gets ignored or erased just to cater to fujos or the...
  5. Is the first otome game you played your all-time favorite?

    Mine was a pacthesis game, don't really remember which one lol. Not my all-time favorite, but I do feel some nostalgia.
  6. Would you skip an otome game just because of a character or a plot point you really dislike?

    I don't like missing out on context on parts I skip and I have a lot of patience, so there's not much that's going to make me skip through parts of a game, but I might like speed read through it if it gets super boring lol
  7. Games that scratch an otome game itch (but aren’t otome)?

    Stardew Valley. Mostly with mods, I really can't stand the vanilla artstyle lol. There's some custom NPC mods and even NPC retexture mods that wouldn't be out of place out of an otome, my favorite mods like that are the Seven Deadly Sins expansion mod and the Romanceable Rasmodius mod. Other...
  8. Do you watch the animes of otome games?

    Anime adaptations of otome games tend to be awful and/or cut out a lot of important things, so I don't really watch them lol. Actually, I don't like to watch anime adapations of video games in general (unless it's not really an adaptation and does something new to the game world like Cyberpunk...
  9. Do you follow the recommended play order for routes or do you go straight into whichever character catches your eyes first?

    Usually recommended order, but that's because I'm used to reading some general vns that need to be read in a very specific order or else things aren't going to make much sense lol
  10. any thoughts on yanderes in western otome?

    haven't played that much western indie otome and amare vns ever since i write my own stories because most of them don't have writing that appeals much to me. not even that much of a fan of the amare genre out of the petty reason of finding the FAQs from the amaregames website super pretentious...
  11. What do you think about gacha and microtransactions in smartphone otome games?

    I really don't like most mobile otome games for the same reasons people here mentioned. I played a few very generous gacha games and I'm a f2p player, but none of the mobile otome games are as generous. At the very least, mobile otome games have big communities, but it really confuses me every...
  12. HELP - Any software recommendation to track gameplay time?

    If you're playing them on your PC, you can add games to video game library manager programs such as Steam and Playnite to track your hours
  13. What is your favorite manga genre?

    Can read anything, but I prefer shoujo, josei, mystery, horror, slice of life I like fantasy as well, but I'm sick and tired of the cookie cutter medieval fantasies that don't do anything interesting with the setting lol
  14. Do you use a guide or go in blind when playing otome games?

    Blind and then a guide for the rest. But if there's some gameplay outside of being a straightforward VN, then a guide all the way.
  15. Green flag ML or Red flag ML

    Depends on the character and writing so I don't mind either, but I lean a bit more toward red flags
  16. Do you look at otome game artbooks?

    Yeah, I love artbooks since I like to draw and create my own characters so they're good references and inspiration. Though, I've been just downloading images and managing them through a digital media library program so I haven't been collecting them lately lol
  17. What games marked your childhood?

    Animal Crossing on the gamecube, really enjoyed the life sims and interacting with my neighbors
  18. Steam deck for otome games

    Don't have a steam deck either, but I like using Moonlight + Sunshine to stream games onto my iPad to play them lol
  19. When playing otome games, do you usually stick with one game until you finish it, or do you rotate between several?

    I usually stick to one so that I don't forget the plot and actually finish it lol
  20. Yandere Games on itch

    Yeah, yanderes are popular in the indie scene, even on DLsite. They don't have to play it safe unlike companies. And yandere is a character archetype, not an entire genre where people keep on using the same tropes and similiar premise over and over again (such as the otome isekai villainess...
