Show me the undateables that deserve a route!

[Scone]

We all have them.. that one (or more) guy we absolutely love seeing and interacting with in a game. Compatible in every way! But alas.. he is doomed to be a side character with no route. I want this thread to be a space to show them off and appreciate them

These are just a few of mine, in no particular order:

Games are:

Piofiore
Honey Vibes
Illusion of Itehari
Olympia Soiree
Cupid Parasite
9 RIP

I agree sooo much about Tsukuyomi and Haidar. I post the bois that immediately came to mind CollarxMalice, Dairoku and Jack Jeanne, but there are so many more. I generally don't like the trend of making a lot of attractive side characters, like Amulit. And to make the thing even worse, they don't give them route in FD/sequel, or do it like with Sachsen in fd, totally waste.

 

[mitsumitsu]

Dairoku and CxM are my worst case of side character jail, please free them!!! I agree with the picks so far and I would like to add a couple more~

Yoshinari - Collar x Malice
Yue - Blackish House
Nachi - Binary Star

 

[BluestMind]

Richard Albarnリチャード・アルバーン
He's from a video game series I played as a kid. I always liked Richard (he appears in all the games), but unfortunately, he only appears as the protagonist's friend.
Richard is so cute that I think he needs his own route :(

The games are: Photograph Journey

I'm okay with those already picked, but I'd like to add a couple more of my own:
Kaina - Olympia Soiree
Dahut and Hugo - Virche Evermore: -ErroR:salvation-
Komori Gin - Ayakashi Gohan
Oliver Haas - Piofiore: Fated Memories

 

[satory]

Maya from Even if Tempest
I get the reason (it's an otome game) but still would really like to see them together

 

[pepsinig]

CONRAD and Ish from Even if Tempest
Tokugawa Ieyasu from Nightshade
Kasuga from Variable Barricade
Tokiwa drom Dairoku

 

[blackflag]

Ken Ga Kimi

(Yomi likes to draw unavailable men)

 

[blackflag]

CONRAD and Ish from Even if Tempest
Tokugawa Ieyasu from Nightshade
Kasuga from Variable Barricade
Tokiwa drom Dairoku

Ish not having his own route was a -crime- after all that set up.

 

[lambdadelta]

karen hanatsubaki (tmgs3)... so many moments of her openly crushing on the mc this is just one example of many

 

[Marrychan]

Naraka - Bad Apple Wars
I could even talk about You, but he only has eyes for Sanzu the entire game and they're just 'friends'.

Ralph Pendleton - Eikoku Tantei Mysteria

 

[Shikuromi]

Shiranui - Hakuouki
Jibril - Princess Britania

 

[pepsinig]

Shiranui - Hakuouki

Agree with Kaina and Oliver 1000%! Oliver has that classy look I just love, and glasses! I need more glasses on LI's.

Kaina I always feel mixed about given his story, but the heart wants what it wants

 

[alicent]

Which world/route Waka personality though

oooh.. kind of hard to choose. honestly i'd take anything for a full dedicated route, i like every version of him so i'd be easy to please! though i am a liiittle partial towards the "the customer is the enemy!" waka haha

 

[usagi-k]

landmine of a topic for me because my list is far too big and greedy but here are the ones i didnt see mentioned on the thread yet:

- Rui (Piofiore 1926) : i loved his development throughout yang's route and also i found his dynamic with lili to be super cute (his look is also very reminiscent to tsuyukusa from uchronia who is one of my favorites)
- Kanan (Olysoi) : evil bastard but i found him super cute (unfortunately) and his relationship with byakuya was super fun to see when he wasn't being a huge pain in the ass lol - i also just found his news printing business to be super interesting i think it wouldve been a fun topic to explore in the game
- Yoki (Moeoto) : the gasp i let it out when i found out the game has a secret route and it isn't him ...
- Minorikawa (JackJeanne) : someone already mentioned so i'm mentioning my other favorite boy he's so good and i loved how embarrassed he's get around kisa his events were my favorite :D
- Adam (Bustafellows) : please he just deserves something good man ...

 

[Scone]

Thank you all for the responses so far! Some of these I didn't even know were side characters because I haven't played them, so it softens the blow

New one for me is definitely Hidaka from UN:LOGICAL. Not done playing yet, but love a well dressed guy and purple is a fave color - so a deadly combo. His room is also amazing but side point lol.

 

[censhu]

everyones already posted many of the biggest crimes we were absolutely ROBBED of, so im nominating fukujun silly guy karatachi from uchronia

 

[TastySweet]

Spoiler: Café Enchanté

???

My biggest heartbreak so far.

 

[evoco]

The most recent game I've played is Galtia (BL) so it'll have to be Leo. He kinda gets a route but...

Spoiler

It's embedded in one of Zeek's bad end and not mutual. All the main leads are cra cra anyways and I just wanted Shin to live a happy and loving life spoiled by Leo

 

[lst]

Kurt from Beastmaster and Prince
He's just adorable.

Ignacio from Beast and Princess
I love how seductive he is.

 

[beima]

Loud on Roberto from piofiore T-T and he liked the mc too come on

 

[bettyK]

Minorikawa senpai really deserves a route...... While play JACKJEANNE, I will always go to talk with him when I get time.
