Oh I definitely just threw it on a collection to check back later. Maybe they got harassed, I'm not sure. All I saw were new people finding it and simply asking.
Actual Otome: Embassy Otherworld (the cg changes with your character which I love).

I hate it. In fact there's a western otome that's p popular (it's only a demo) and uses ai art but won't admit it. The creator even left because people kept asking and the community attacks anyone who asks. Its v clearly ai. It sucks because they're clearly a talented writer.
The first route is very important to me, especially because some otome force you into certain routes first. If I'm not clicking with it, it will be hard for me to continue. Like I almost didn't finish verche because of this.
So true, I just went through the Otome tag on itch yesterday and the amount of genderless blob mc were too high. There's even some flat out BL crap in the tag too. I wish they'd clean that stuff up.
