Do you prefer when the Fl has a voice actor or nah?

[john_anime]

I've always quietly wondered about this topic for a while now. So far, all the cds ppl have been recommending don't have an fl with a voice actor. That being said, do any of you enjoy when they do?

I find that I don't really like it when they do tbh. It kind of breaks the immersion for me. Cause with regular otomes, asked questions have wiggle room for interpretation. Voiced fls… Not so much.

A common example of this would be " Hey girlfriend-chan, you look very pretty today." Only for her to say something along the lines of "kyaaa no!! Boyfriend-kun that's so embarrassing~"



Like no… I am not saying all dat. That's just me though lmk lmk

Totally unnecessary. If anyone wants a voiced FL they should just go watch any shojo or romcom atp lmao

Otome CDs are basically character x YOU THE LISTENER!!! YOU ARE THE MC! YOU ARE THE FL!!! THESE GUYS ARE TALKING TO YOU!! it's not that difficult to grasp the concept

for situational voice drama, a voiced heroine is a HARD NO for me. the characters are supposed to talk to ME after all, so why would i enjoy being voiced against my will? (dramatic)
though i dont think there are many situational voices like that? i recall that prince of stride cd has a voiced heroine, but its not a situational voice drama, right? so i guess its fine as is.. i still wouldnt enjoy it though, since prince of stride is an otome game, not a standalone joseimuke project with an established female protagonist. either commit to fleshing out your heroine or let me selfinsert without worry..(?)

but im very picky in general, because even when there are voiced manga, i dont like it when they have voiceover for the heroine.. even though manga voiceovers are completely different from situational voices, and joseimuke manga in general is different from danseimuke manga. but still, im not a huge fan.. but as long as its stated beforehand so that i can decide whether i spend my money on it or not, its alright..

(kinda relevant?, but i remember reading a script for a work on gwa, which is gonewildaudio, a community on r*dit where people post their porn voice works, and this script not only had lines for the voice actor to read, but also lines FOR THE HEROINE AKA THE LISTENER AKA YOU for him to "respond" to? even though the listener wasnt going to be voiced at all, so there was no need for these lines to be written?? and they were so cringy too like sorry but i would NOT say that)

No way, I luv gwa!!I've never heard of an audio like that in my life before lol. If you still remember, you NEED to tell me the title!! I wanna see how cringe the responses are (for educational purposes)

A hard no to voiced FL if I cannot turn it on/off. Like, Karin's game has fully voiced FL in-game with good acting, but their situation cds have no FL voices, and their drama cds have FL voices that are well-written. In this case it make sense to me to include voices. Versus, Wand of fortune has a partially voiced FL with pretty bad acting and they added her to many cds... awkward.

No dw this is a totally normal reaction! (<- signed, a dramatic yumejo who likes being dramatic about her hobby /hj)

Omg... It's giving those TikToks ppl make you're supposed to do the collab (??) thing and reupload acting along with another person...! But yes it kinda beats the purpose of the medium ngl
