Hopefully, I can remember this well. I'm pretty sure it was Voltage Inc.'s Enchanted in the Moonlight (if not, it was certainly my favourite otome game of all time, but I think it's because of the main theme song lol). I played Voltage Inc games primarily, back when they were individually found...
As many as the writer can write while ensuring the characters and dynamics are fully fleshed out and that the player and MC can get something different from each character (LIs can have the same type of personality or trope but how they engage with the MC and other characters can always be...
Another site shared recommended this forum as the place to find otome games. I thought this forum would be more of a game-sharing site than anything (and there'd be nothing wrong with that), but I got pleasantly surprised when I found out that lots of people here have in-depth discussions on...
Omg hey twin~ 🤣✨Literally everything you said, I agree with 1000000% long hair, gloves, painted nails and piercings, chef's kiss❤️ like just marry me rn😂
I agree that the wide age range creates opportunities to test different romance dynamics. I prefer older and same-age LIs (but that could also be because the games I play don't have many younger LIs ).
It depends on who the villain is and what they did, imo. I loved Avatar: The Last Airbender, and one of my favourite characters was Zuko. I think Zuko is one of a few characters who showed me how fulfilling and satisfying a well-written redemption arc can be, but the problem is that most people...
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...
