LIs having romances with other characters

[plipplopcountess]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It does make sense, but I also hate "stealing" a love interest from another side character, especially if they are a good person.

I don't like it either. When I'm playing an otome game, I want to be able to see each LI as a romantic option without having to think about them being romantically involved with someone else.

Even if it's technically part of the story and makes sense for the characters, it can really take me out of the experience. Especially if I have a favorite LI, seeing him have romantic or sexual tension with another character would probably make me want to stick to his route and never look back.

I think I prefer when the romantic possibilities are centered around the heroine, rather than having the LIs develop romances with each other or other characters.

Absolutely hate any kind of cheating etc, so if there's a random love rival or a break up caused by one, it makes me want to drop the route.

Personally, I don't feel any aversion to it, but I can certainly understand why others dislike it. That said, it is by It doesn't feel good to look at. So, while I will continue playing as long as the story goes on, it might end up feeling like a mere chore.

absolutely don't like it.

I can only accept the playboy type of LI having something like a friends-with-benefits situation or a brief past relationship with a random side character For anything else I usually can't keep playing when I see it — for example I once played a BL game that had a route where the protagonist helps set up two LIs together (not a love triangle), and when I got to that part I didn't even want to play the sequel...

Gakuen Heaven: Boy's Love Scramble

Isn't this belike a reality scenario? My God what in the distasteful situation is that. It's fine, the male leads can have their own relationship but you guys don't have to rub it into my face, I have no reason nor earger intention to know, hello ??? A big NO for me, I come to the game to find comfort, not to watch other people's pairing up, I watched that for free everyday already
