Do you self-insert while playing otomes?

[Natsukicchii_]

For me, I never self-insert myself as a MC. I view the MC as MC, and for me.

I feel awkward if I self-insert myself, so I just positioning myself as the reader of the story lol

Nop! Playing otome games for me is like reading a book: I just watch and observe everything as if I were a background character or a camera that is recording/capturing everything

nah. i read the content as a narrative itself and root (or not) for the characters as if they're my dolls. of course i squeal and everything when my favorite character does something, but i'm just not... there.

i'll gladly sit in the cuck chair.

Nope. If anyone's read Endo and Kobayashi Live, I kind of feel like that. Someone overseeing the characters. I tend to ship the characters more. i love seeing MC's dynamic with different LI's. Part of why i find otome games enjoyable is cause i can see the MC and other characters behave differently in different routes.

Although there are times when the MC does something i morally or otherwise, vehemently disagree with, it breaks the immersion and at times almost makes me drop it altogether.
But that's pretty rare

Yes and No, it depends on the media for me! For games, I view the protagonist as a separate character, but for audio dramas, I totally self-insert (￣ω￣;)
