I request a tag for joseimuke + amare games

... I don't understand how what I said was false?
青春はじめました！and Saint Beast ~螺旋の章~ are two examples of mixed genres I know. Perhaps I should've said "extremely rarely"...?
BL and otome co-exist in Saint beast. Tho it's probably too niche to find any opinions about it....

青春はじめました！is a different case but also mixed genres. Half the game is about playing as a guy and dating girls. I searched around just now and Japanese fans in reviews as well as reseller sites have no problem calling it 乙女.
Honeybee themselves allude to the otome genre by saying
"プレイヤーの視点を選べる事で、通常の乙女ゲームの女の子目線では分からない男の子側の気持ちを描いたり、"
source: https://www.honeybee-cd.com/seisyun/system/w_hero.html
That's as clear as it gets when it comes to calling a game 乙女ゲーム. in fact it gives me not like other otome vibes lmao
Your explanation seems more about products being sneaky, thus making it a "bad unavoidable surprise".

...and holy freaking God quoting your post reveals the spoiler part in the reply editor. Now I wish I could go back to the 10 minutes ago before reading that. Unexpected forum functional hazard ://

Although people may refer to 青春はじめました as an otome game, I heard that honeybee didn't advertise this game as an otome game.
Just because they said "You can get a different point of view than your regular otome game..", this does not equal to them saying "This is an otome game", they are using this phrase to compare it with their other games, that are otome games, and their player base are people who consume otome games.

Stand My Hero actually has dedicated routes! They are very good plot wise and romance. It's an otome game

Oh yes hypnosis mic It's the best example of Joseimuke and has ambiguous characters. Highly recommended.
