Do you wish there were more eroge otome?

While I strongly agree, I also have some reservations.
For me, the fun lies in the build-up leading up to the bed scene and the bit of cuddling that follows—and for that level of content, a CERO D rating is sufficient.
With the budget for an R18 otome game, they tend to cut back on other scenes to allocate more runtime to the H scenes, which can make the rest of the content feel a bit shallow.
I thought it might be better to fill in the more explicit parts with otome CDs or otome doujinshi.
That said, I'd still be happy if it were released.

I definitely agree with this thread, we really need more eroge otome games! ^^

It's pretty frustrating how almost every game made for guys automatically has spicy scenes, but for us, we have to dig through old PC titles or indie stuff just to find a drop of spice lol. And it's so annoying when the scenes they do make feel like they're drawn completely for the male gaze... we're here to see the hot guys, not stare at the MC the whole time XD

@mekoneko made a great point about audio though. Since the game market is kind of dry, I usually spend most of my time in the ASMR and Drama CD sections listening to otome voice works. I listen to both the safe and R18 ones //▽// It just feels way better because it's completely focused on the female gaze, and you don't have to deal with awkward art ruining the vibe haha.

Hopefully, some devs will actually start taking risks and give us more high-budget spicy games again. Until then, I'll just stick to my audio clips ^^

Honestly, yes, in my case I really like games with that type of content because the feelings and emotions are more complex, they can deal with darker themes, so to speak, as well as politically incorrect ones, not to mention that I consider the content to be more romantic and focuses more on the relationship of a couple (toxic or healthy), giving more attention and importance to it than most general otome games, which focus a bit more on the story.

I like 18+ otome games, but I also think there's a special flavor to "normal" otome games that have that not-so-explicit spicy scene!

An example of this I would say is Diabolik Lovers and Blackish House Side A (I haven't played Side Z so I can't talk about it yet )

I played knowing there would be some darker themes, but the "spicy" scenes surprised me too. And I really like the moaning/blood-sucking ASMR in Diabolik Lovers.

And I can't wait for Key La Box to come out!
