Maybe it has sometime to do with the way they are drawn? And perhaps also the clothing choice - it's in a style that I hardly see in otoges. There's also their expression too. Idk, I think it's the general vibe I get looking at these art compare to the ones I usually get from looking at female...

These are really pretty and all but a PC visual novel with these kind of bg art would be even better. IMO the portrait format and the smaller display size of mobile devices take away the open vastness of how landscape are often appreciated.

You enjoyed the anime but not the game? Why? Does it have something to do with the extent of how far they go with things in the visual novel?

Why do you think dating sim/eroge character = automatically sexualized design? Where does this prejudice come from? There are plenty of tasteful, "mild" designs out there even when the actual content of the game is extreme. I disagree with generalizing such a big genre like that!

Is it just me or are these designs not very otome game-like? They're not bad designs by any means (I actually like them a lot), but they somewhat resemble characters you would find in a dating sim/eroge. Not sure if I can further elaborate on why but I certainly feel that way. ...Perhaps otoges...

It's not exactly like that in the original Japanese script is it...? Smells like localizers' foul work again! :akazukin_rage:

So do we have some good ideas as for why they use the grey, bald mannequin as the MC in otoges? I don't believe this is really all that common for visual novels in general; it's not something you would see in say a galge for example.

Course? Well that is one big course then if it can last you for an entire day! Geez, how many calories do you eat? :korokke_croquette:

What? Why is GL considered "sensitive" but not BL??

I think I read somewhere that the yuri genre was originally aimed at women? I suspect a big reason for yuri vns being so "male-gazey" is because eroges (which the majority of vns technically are) are predominantly written/produced by men. Essentially if we want more yuri vns with otoge-like...

I'd say in those cases it's often the devs leaning heavily into giving the self-insert role to the MC, since there's generally less things that would trigger self-inserters in a plain-looking outfit. You'll notice in games where the MC is given a lot of attention on making her their own person...

What's wrong with galge characters? Surely you mean "eroge" right? I'd argue a large number of otoge MCs would fit no problem into galges, especially given how pretty some of them are.

Of course! Where are my bald girlies representation??? :whipmaster:

Somebody is a gun nut, lol :kurochan_laugh:

Assuming the total playtime between the two options stay the same, short common route -> longer character route should be better since it's technically more content due to the repeated nature of subsequent playthroughs that always include the common route? Though of course, quantity doesn't...

LunaTranslator doesn't get mentioned enough. I'm still seeing many guides and people recommending Textractor or even older methods but LunaTranslator is just straight up better than them (esp. with Textractor's increasingly outdated compatibility).

Woah, an updated and maintained version of jpdb? Sweet, I didn't know such a thing existed! Thanks for sharing, this will be really useful.

Not specifically otome games, but jpdb is good for that since it lists a variety of Japanese media in terms of difficulty level (visual novels included), along with its own built-in SRS learning system with pre-made decks. I also like Anacreon DJT's long list of VNs, and LinLinLavender's list...

Do you remember what game was that? I'm pretty curious because that sounds rather unhinged for an otome game!
