Before I know their personalities and stories, I will choose the character whose appearance, voice and temperament attract me more as the first love object.
Mostly I look first at the person I like by appearance and who fits my type. If I don't really like this character in the common route, I take a closer look at the others
Almost always the cutest character design !! But if none strikes or if i find multiple lis pretty i will just go for route order recommendations if there's any or just go with what personality seems the most enjoyable to me (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
