otome discussion

Hiii! This is something that's been on my mind lately, and I'd like to hear other people's perspectives. I think this mostly happens with console otome games. In joseimuke media in general, where male characters are the main focus, fans have a lot of freedom to create original characters and...

I've been playing crazy chain lately and honestly I've fallen in love with Jeanne LOL. It would be really interesting to have an Ll like her. Other mcs I think would make for interesting Lls include Teuta from bustafellows and Anastasia from even if tempest, I think their time travel powers...

In my case, when it comes to console games that catch my attention, I can usually wait. But when I see posts about other people playing them or talking about the LI that caught my interest, I get fomo lmao I avoid any mention of the plot or how the relationship develops because I want to...

I started with Cronoll's route because I absolutely love everything I saw of him from the common route.

One example (not spoiler) can be Iochi from Charade Maniacs, their whole character is about not knowing their gender, and you can describe them as you want. In my case, I stick to calling him "him" from now on. His voice is performed by the renowned seiyuu, Megumi Ogata. I like her/their voice...

I usually don't read many otome reviews. Sometimes the ones I find contain spoilers or feel biased. I prefer reading reviews based on someone's experience, with just the essential information. One thing I find really helpful in a review is a recommended route order, especially for players who...

I was extremely excited for Lucas's route in virche. I really liked his design it's probably my favourite in the game (which says a lot because I absolutely LOVE Scien and everybody else's designs as well) . But I just didn't like the writing nor the general plot and I especially did not like...

I don't know if there are any without that feature, but the question crossed my mind. In a hypothetical case, would it change your experience while playing? In my case, not really, since I use the default name. But if a game happens to have that feature, to me it means that the MC is her own...

I recently came across an LI who does that, and I found it really interesting. Since I don't self-insert, it caught me off guard that he was talking directly to "me." It also made me realize that everything before that point had been building up to it. I'm not sure if this concept is common in...

For me personally I hate gentlemanly types that overly coddle the mc just because she's a woman that stuff pisses me off so much lol. Looks wise It's not really a specific trait but I really dislike the look of any semi realistic 3d Lls from 3d otome games. I tried but I just can't, its just too...

Let me give you an example. A female side character develops a crush on a male side character, and the MC or an LI supports them. Would you like to see that relationship develop during your playthrough? I know some people don't like that because, when an otome game comes out and you find that...

Personality wise I think I'd love to see more Lls that acts like a rival or just a general narrative foil to the mc, I think the dynamics from a Ll like that would be very interesting! Appearance wise I'd definitely love more monstrous Lls, not just the plain old catboys or werewolves or...

Does it ever happen that you see a character who would make a perfect LI if you added a layer of romance to their story? If so, who do you think fits that idea? Feel free to give a brief description of why. For example, you know Sakura Haruka from Wind Breaker? He seems rude and doesn't trust...

I've played quite a few Otome games (most of the major switch releases and their sequels) but honestly I can't ever think of a moment where I thought wow this writing is really good, its usually just me enjoying the game without thinking on it too hard. I think the closest I've had to getting...

I know some people prefer story-driven games over romance. Personally, I prefer a 50/50 balance. Too much focus on one side usually makes the other feel lacking. I changed the question because I accidentally posted a duplicate, and I don't know how to delete it :P

Honestly, i'm a fan of a big screen and being at my desk. i can't play VNs in bed because i get sleepy, and the font is so small. I wish more otome games were on PC, with releases across multiple platforms instead of being limited to the Switch.

Certainly, a wide age range allows you to experiment with different types of romance. But do you prefer the focus to stay on a certain age group? Sometimes, when the cast is too diverse, putting a younger LI beside an older LI doesn't make them feel like they're competing just for the audience lol

I must say i like when we have a lot of love interests, but sadly the writing loosens up, and the characters don't shine as expected. For example, 9 R.I.P. Despite loving the game, the overall quality isn't consistent. An ideal number for me is five, where the LIs can get their time to shine...

What's your first impression when a new otome game is announced or you find certain title for the first time? Have you ever ended up following a title simply because the character designs immediately sold you on it? Aside from voice acting, what aspects of an LI's design instantly catch your...

I just wondered if i could write my own heroine, what kind of heroine i would like her to be... After playing a lot of otomes, i just kinda have an idea lol I'd like my heroine to have a relatively simple background. I don't want her to be overly naive—I want her to have basic survival...
