I only (rarely) buy CDs that I really like or really want to support after listening to them from free online sources or borrowing from friends because honestly they're kind of expensive for me :cry:
It's sad because I really want to support the industry so it can grow bigger and more accessible and become more well-known.

What about u guys? What makes you decide that a CD is worth spending money on? Is it your favorite seiyuu, a specific LI, the story, limited editions/bonus tracks, wanting to support the series, or just because u simply could so why not?:unsure:

Same here. I rarely buy them now, especially with AI work scattered everywhere, it's getting a little bit annoying. I only want to buy one if an artist I know on Pixiv shares their cover art for the drama CD. Other than that, I look for drama cd with tags that I really love on DLsite (submissive men *cough* lol).

I don't think the seiyuu is the biggest reason for me to buy a drama CD. For me, it's always art first, then story, and seiyuu last.

Same here😭 Otome CDs can be pretty pricey, so I usually listen to the free stuff first and then buy it if I really like it. But sometimes the story or the samples are just so my type that I get way too curious, and if there's no free version, I just buy it lol.

I'm not really that into bonus tracks or limited editions though. I mostly just care about the main story. I especially prefer hardcore play, which is kinda rare in otome cd. So I tend to buy cds that seem like they'll have the kind of play I'm into!

Yahh hehe same here. If there's a CD I really like but can't find anywhere online or trade with anyone, I'll just leave it in my cart and wait until there's a big sale of 50% off or more before buying it.

Even if I had more money than I do now, I'd probably still do it that way lol. I just HATE spending money on a CD only to listen to it and realize it's terrible, not what I expected at all or has a trope I absolutely hate :akazukin_tsk:
