Red/black or green flag?

[Ninako Ayase]

Curious, in otome/bl games, do you prefer red flag Li? Or green? Perhaps, even black flag?
If red/black, is it to extend of harming mc too? Or you draw a line at that (as in, you like Li who's obsessed, possessive, crazy, yet won't harm mc).

For me, I usually go with red/black flags. Well, because I love the thrill of it. Since their actions often unpredictable, it makes things more interesting.

I definitely love red black change to green flag of Li. I would still draw a line when the character is unhealthy obsession that make toxic relationship. Red flag is a bit softer for me. I still cannot accept hard mode black flag because those Li should get healthy copping skills rather than relies on female lead. I always want female lead to have healthy boundaries between with Li. I really have strong morals that kick in when Li treated wrongfully to female lead like an object or controlling. Manipulating is like No No for me, it would make me feel bad at the same time.

I like LIs who give off green flag vibes but are actually red flags. But black flags? I guess no-

I'll choose whichever yearn the most lol

They yearn in different ways. A green flag always gives this comfy feeling, while red or black flags mean mind control, confinement, or ded lmao. For me, a green flag is home, but red and black flags are an adventure

My vanilla ass gravitates towards green flags. I also love what i call "yellow flags" where he might have been toxic in the beginning and then yearns for FL and has character development. For red flags it depends, is he a red flag because he is obsessive and stalkerish or because he likes to physically abuse the FL? If its the latter im afraid ill have to pass. And for black flags (who in my mind is of the likes of matthias from cry or better beg), sorry, thats a line I cant cross lmao

I love red flags that don't harm MC (they can harm other people though) and green flags (though too much green flags can be boring at times). Idk what's a black flag

Ngl otome CDs with red/black LIs are more likely to have interesting and intense stories, a lot of my favs are like that too (btw harming mc is too far for me)
but my oshi is a green forest from a sweet slice-of-life series tho

I love it when LIs starts out as a red flag but gradually becomes a green flag as the story progresses. As for black flags, I associate them with bad endings, so I tend to avoid those

Ohhhh, opposite of me xD
In a rare case, I don't mind if the red/black change to green tho, if I really aim at him (and if he's interesting enough for me)

Like someone with innocent smile and look harmless but actually obsessed with you?
Black flags tend to be scary indeed

Agreed with you. Green flags, we would feel warm, comfortable, touched by their actions, etc.
But red/black, well, it gives us a thrill, excitement, goosebumps, etc.
