Honestly, it's only because of spoilers like these that I even find new games to play XD
Do game spoilers (plot, CG, etc.) bother you? Or do you prefer seeing them?

For me, spoilers are the worst thing I can come across when I'm playing otome, especially if it`s CG`s. I love the element of surprise and interesting plot twists, so I steer clear of spoilers.

I don't like spoilers in general. There was a time I had to stop browsing social media because of story leaking in a game I really like (worse than spoilers imo), it isn't otome game though. Since I don't have much otoge players in my mutuals, I don't have to worry much about being spoiled when playing any otome game. Reading official information and no spoiler review (I rarely do it) are enough for me to decide to grab it or not.

I don't really like having plot details spoiled in advance, especially when CGs or story reveals show characters nearing the end of their arcs. I can tolerate spoilers for shared storylines or early parts of character routes, but I'd still appreciate some warning—especially since some games involve puzzle-solving elements, and knowing the plot ahead can significantly ruin the experience. However, if it's just a general impression about a character route without specific, detailed spoilers, that's something I can accept.

Give me all the spoilers! Weirdly, I get more excited for plot reveals (e.g. backstabbing, character reveals/backstory) when I already know they're going to happen. For example, the CxM antagonist reveal was great because I get side-eyeing a certain lines and looking for foreshadowing and squeeing when I actually found some. I don't watch the in-depth video playthroughs of otome though, I only read the summaries. That preserves some of the curiosity about how a plot reveal is going to be implemented (if that makes sense?).

I don't mind spoilers either. It's happened pretty often that I see some spoiler without context and then played the game because I was curious about how that scene fit with rest. To me, the most interesting part is seeing how plot points/themes are executed so I don't mind knowing in advance some twists.

I don't like spoilers. I'm okay with promotional CGs to get an idea of the game, but I don't need much to get excited about it. Just knowing the synopsis, the basic character profiles, and the voice actors is enough for me. I'm quick to come to conclusions about any plot, so if you add too much information, I'll start overthinking what happens next, and I can't stop thinking about it lol
If people post their reactions on social media, I appreciate it when they use hashtags or spoiler tags (thou sometimes they don't work on twitter)

I prefer seeing them, and sometimes reading spoiler too.
Cuz I want to check if I understand their plot or not and also want to find which LI to main before choosing route.

I am also the same as you. I kinda of enjoy reading the review so that I can understand the general vibe of the game. I absolutely hate it when any CG got spoiled, especially by official sources that I follow. Because, I feel like the special-ness of the CG and it's moment drops when I have already seen them and can anticipate that this will happen.
I don't like spoilers.
I want to experience the surprises and emotional impact firsthand while playing.

It depends really, Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I'm not sure about a game I sometimes look at a few spoilers just to see if it's something I would enjoy. I usually forget most of what I saw anyway. But if it's a game I'm really excited for, I avoid spoilers completely because I don't want to ruin the surprises.

I'm the type who does care about that!
So, I often check the story beforehand—like by reading other people's impressions—because if I read a heavy story when I'm already feeling down, it tends to weigh on me and linger.

Before purchasing, I'd like to know a bit about the game's content beyond what's already been made public, so, I'm okay with spoilers, as long as they don't reveal the core of the story or anything else that would take away from the experience of playing the game for the first time.

I really don't like seeing spoilers. It would not make my experience with the game worse, but I just like going into the game without any information

It depends. If a game doesn't interest me at first but then it got me interested is because I saw the CGs of the game or read snippet of the plot from the game. But if I already interested because of from watching the trailer and/or read the synopsis, I will avoid spoilers like a plague XD

i don't like getting spoiled tbh... i'd rather be surprised by where the story goes
I absolutely hate spoilers—even the tiniest ones. I'm very particular about experiencing and figuring out games out for myself.
So whenever it's a game or series I haven't played or seen before, I go out of my way to avoid spoilers. I'll even stay away from related discussions, and I never search for keywords or read reviews because I'm afraid of accidentally spoiling something.
