Can you imagine yourself in the place of the main character?

For me it's vice versa! My otome experience is similar to reading romance books or watching romance movies. I mostly feel like a fairy godmother to MC, guiding her with decisions and leading her to a happy ending (bad endings as well because I like angst xd). I keep MC's default name and also I love that when they have their unique personality traits. Bonus points if they are voiced. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Beniyuri's voice in PotBB.

I don't self-insert so I watch the story from the outside. I play otome games like I'm reading a story. Although I don't self-insert, I do sometimes imagine what I would do if I were the MC in specific situations and what it'd be like living in that world.

i self-insert but instead of 'me' directly as the MC, it's a different facet of my personality depending on the game. so rather than imagining MC as myself, it's myself according to those parameters, if that makes any sense?? (•᷉ε ू•᷈,)


(this might be the most obvious or confusing take.)
 
不知道为什么,我就是做不到代入进游戏主角,玩游戏就像看别人谈恋爱,不过玩的还是很快乐。˶>ᗜ<˶

I don't know why, but I just can't relate to the game protagonist. Playing games feels like watching someone else fall in love, but I still have fun doing it.˶>ᗜ<˶
 
I'm a spectator most the time. MC gotta be a real trooper cuz if a grown ahh man called me kitten I'm gonna disintegrated so fast and reborn as a lesbian (LADS im looking at u) ToT
 
I would self-insert with oc name if they have name system. Can't really immerse myself if there like dedicate name for the mc
 
I don't project myself onto the characters because I consider them to be separate individuals. However, I do deeply empathize with their emotions and enjoy the story.
 
Sometimes, but not completely. I enjoy experiencing the story through the MC's perspective, but I don't necessarily see myself as her.
 
No. tbh at first I do project myself as MC but now I'm more comfortable as spectator, and yes also a fairy godmother guiding MC to the end just wanna see MC and LIs grown-up 🥹
 
Spectator but with some games it's fun to imaging urself as the MC, like for example with Love and deepspace...

If otome games has a more appealing art for me, I would be the other way around. The more attractive I find the LI, the more I enjoy to see myself as the MC.

Do you feel like this as well?
