Otome games with a loser MC

[kaeyism]

Are there any otome games with a "loser" MC, or just some sort of socially inept MC? Most galges I come across always have an antisocial otaku MC, and I haven't really seen anything of the sort in otome games.

I'd say Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome's MC is pretty close tbh
The MC is literally a social outcast who just wants to stay home playing games all day and lives off junk food because she can't be bothered to cook
she's not COMPLETELY clueless about social interactions but more like socially withdrawn/awkward/shut-in.

Suicide club! The mc was a shut in till the beginning of the game so she is neither good at communication or athletics.

Lucette from Cinderella Phenomenon comes to mind! I wouldn't necessarily call her a "loser," but she definitely fits the socially inept part. She's blunt, distrustful, and pretty bad at connecting with people, even when they're genuinely trying to be nice to her. A lot of her attempts at interacting with others end up coming across as rude or dismissive because of how she was raised.

What I like is that the game actually lets those traits be flaws. People don't automatically adore her or find her attitude cute, and she has to put effort into understanding others and recognizing when she's wrong. Watching her slowly learn how to let people in is really satisfying.
