I honestly really dislike gacha in general, the "gameplay" just feels like doing daily chores and you can literally pay real money not to do them lol. I would much rather pay for a game that I own permanently. Also I like that non-gacha games actually have an end. I don't like the idea of...
I lovvee traditional games with dating sim elements + you can choose to be a girl! Like Fire emblem, Rune Factory, P3P (I wish we got more than one Persona Femc), Harvest Moon etc. I wish there were more of them though. Honestly I wish more otome games had some gameplay too.
I've studied Japanese for a long time now on and off but honestly Luna Translator is great for when I just wanna skim read / I'm feeling lazy and don't want to use 100% of my brain to read a visual novel
I definitely prefer personality. I find that "no personality" blank MCs tend to all be very overly innocent/submissive/meek which I just find tiring, especially when they're meant to be adult women. I love an assertive MC!
Definitely! I find it a little tiring when an otome plot is too heavy or drama-focused and we barely get any romance. I haven't played many slice-of-life otome (I plan on playing Hakuoki SSL soon) but I definitely wanna play more! I remember really enjoying Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side Love Plus...
I love shoujo manga that actually have a plot besides the main romance. Some of my faves are Skip Beat! and Yona of the Dawn. I do enjoy some high school setting slice-of-life shoujo romance sometimes, but it gets a little tired.
I was already into anime/manga/games but I was always wanting more things aimed at girls/women. The majority anime/manga/games are focused on the male experience and spend a lot of time sexualising/degrading women. This was conflicting as a young girl as I loved watching anime and reading manga...
Honestly I'm a completionist and don't put away a game until I've gotten all the endings and done everything I can do. I wish Nintendo had achievements because I love getting 100% on otome games on Steam and Playstation.
I really like going through all games in a series in order and doing this...
I honestly like the idea of one of the LIs being the "true"/canon route, especially when they break the fourth wall like in Mystic Messenger.
I really liked the use of Shin as a poster boy in Amnesia
I used to heavily prefer physical, but I got an ereader a while ago and honestly I love it for manga. It's bigger than most physical manga so I can see the details even better, while still maintaining the paper-like quality because of the e-ink screen. Also I like to read a lot of manga that...
I tend to self insert without realising. I guess I'm just immersed and am reading the story as if it's happening to me.
I usually use my own name unless the characters voice the MCs canon name if you leave it.
I like my LIs obsessive (I love a yandere!)
Also I was surprised by how much I liked Ukyo's split personality in Amnesia. Especially when it was explored more in Amnesia Later (I'm still playing Crowd + World). I wish we had more LIs with split personalities!!
