Do you prefer otome game with gameplay element or just text reading element only?

I agree with you! Since visual novels just involve reading text continuously, I sometimes get a bit sleepy while playing them.
I feel like having combat or other gameplay elements does reduce the boredom.
However, as those elements are added, it definitely seems to lengthen the playtime, lol.

I prefer games that are purely visual novels because if there are other gameplay elements, they might interrupt the flow of the story. Plus, if I have to fight monsters to progress, I'll focus on that part and skip the story.

I've been playing for a decade already and I've realized as I grew older that if I'm meant to play a video game, I need to have an engaging element such as choices/gameplay.

I really struggle to read kinetic visual novels because it feels too much like a book, which is not bad but if I wanted to read a book I would buy one, unfortunately for me I need games to feel like games and I'm an avid book reader (I usually end up reading more than 100 books a year) so having loads of kinetic visual novels in my library paused because I miss the gameplay really sucks. But that's me, I need the dopamine unfortunately and most of the kinetic games I played didn't have a plot line that made up for the loss of gameplay.

I prefer otome games that are just text reading.

I prefer just text only. I mean, i expected to read when it comes to otome games, i just want to enjoy the story.
But actually i'm craving open world otome game since we still don't have that gameplay yet for Otome.

I prefer pure plot mode text reading, which is the visual novel genre, where you can choose the character options you need to explore. I don't like mobile games, they are very difficult for me. The most important point is that many mobile games are not complete versions and require completing levels and spending money.

Quite frankly i find gameplay elements distracting (especially when they are as half-baked as in many mobile games (๑-﹏-๑)) but i don't really mind minigames! I do prefer just reading tho :3
