I think I've only actually played one route with serious rivals (Amnesia Ikki), so I think I wouldn't mind seeing it a little more often to mix things up. However I don't think I would appreciate seeing it more than rarely, especially if the stories have the ML actually starting to fall for the...

If the devs themselves have recommended a route order, or enforced one through locking routes, I'll follow it. Even if the lock is "forgiving," like you have to finish one of these three routes before proceeding to this fourth route, I'll do all three routes first. If the route order is purely...

I have so much backlog and nothing immediately yelling for my attention. I told someone I know to pick a number 1-32, and the number that was picked corresponded to Tengoku Struggle. It got roasted in another thread here so I've been dragging my feet. Plus I just finished 9R.I.P. and I didn't...

Long hair is definitely a preference for me, but personality tops all, and I usually don't get it on the guys I tend to like. On a related note, I stare at my hall of fame and question whether it's just character design tropes at work or I have a sneaky preference for blond men....

It's hard to point to specifics, but I really, really loved the UI for Illusion of Itehari. There was something that felt really classy about the combination of an almost art-deco-ish geometric take on steampunk elements, with more flowy Japanese art contrasting but in a way that didn't feel...

I view the MC as the avatar through whom I experience the story. The same as I would when playing an RPG. I know the character on the screen is not me; I don't try to pretend it is. But I do try to slip into that character's skin and experience the emotions of story from that perspective...

Part of the fun of bad endings is seeing how much it takes to break the characters you've gotten to know and how bad things go when they do break. One of the reasons I enjoyed Piofiore so much was that all the guys had tons of opportunities to show every side of their personality -- they were...

Many of us probably have a love interest we liked (or, at least, didn't hate) who we feel gets sass from the community for one reason or another. Obviously everyone can hold any opinion they want about a given story, but sometimes we just want to exasperatedly go "but it's so much deeper than...

Agreed on Misyr and Lucas. The direction Misyr's route went made me sad. Also Shiraishi from Collar x Malice - how am I supposed to enjoy fantasies of a happily ever with him in that situation :rolleyes: Plus softer grumpiness at any game whose "true ending" ties the MC to a specific ML, so...

I'm just about incapable of dropping a route. Or a game. Must finish one before starting another. ....which really works against me when I'm hating the route enough that I would rather play anything else. Just dropping otomes as a whole for months because I'm at a roadblock I don't want to...

I like a really creative setting regardless of things like time period and level of fantasy. Virche Evermore (everyone dies by 23+heavy tech level division by societal class), Illusion of Itehari (steampunk Japanese sky island), and Cafe Enchante (cafe with a gateway to other worlds) are...

Hakuoki was my first otome, and my villain-loving behind went straight for Kazama. TsudaKen should do more otomes....

Huge preference for on. Three of my last four reads have had no MC sprite and it's making me sad.

Karakurenai in Hana Awase felt like the king of inconsistent art. His sprite was so different compared to his CGs. I didn't hate it, but it did pull me out of the experience some. Especially in group shots where I basically had to pick him and Iroha out by process of elimination. Other replies...

Collar x Malice, I think. It struck such a good balance of being dark and immersive without being depressing. the MLs were fun to get to know, even if my favorite from CxM did get bumped down the hall of fame list by later reads.

I'll give a third nod to Toma from Amnesia. It was my second otome ever, and I had never even heard of his particular trope. A friend of mine was playing through the game at the same time as me, and we were picking different routes and giving each other non-spoilery reviews of the guys while we...

I'm not one to quit an otome halfway through, and I'm a completionist to boot. Must 100% each one that I start. So if I get on a route that feels like a slog, other games start looking much more appealing by comparison. Sometimes for months at a time. A friend of mine made a new year's...

Oh, play Cafe Enchante for a good cackle sometime; Canus is basically the same character as Benkei in both voice and personality, haha.

Not an otome LI, but I can almost only hear Xiao from Genshin whenever I hear Matsuoka Yoshitsugu. I say "almost" because Alice in Taisho x Alice was such a radically different demeanor and so well done that he broke the perception. But only for that one game. It was right back to Xiao when I...

I would never watch an anime of an otome game instead of playing unless it's a live service/gacha game (which is to say, I watched the MLQC anime since I was on Tears of Themis and wasn't going to play more than one gacha otome at a time). I also do sometimes watch the anime as a followup to...
