Weird quirks or preferences when you play otome games?

I somehow got a habit to read every bad ending in route first and only after that go towards good ending. Good stuff for dessert only

My first playthrough/route in any game has to be played blindly and choices are made according to my natural instincts. I like to see what kind of ending I would get if I were in mc's shoes and if I would even survive(most of the time I end up with a bad end or a game over screen lmao).

I used to do this a lot! But then I realized whenever I play my utmost favorite character's route first, I have a hard time finishing the game. So I've been doing my least favorite to most favorite whenever I play a game. It's really hard to do that with locked routes though lol.

I like to create special playlists with songs that I think fit the situations in the games I play. Honestly, it's not always easy to find the right songs, but that's part of the fun ( I do this in games that I like or think will be interesting)

For example, I don't really like scenes where you hear kissing sounds.. which I know sounds weird considering the kind of genre this is lol.

I feel the same, lol. I don't normally play with sound on, but if I do and I hear kissing the sounds I get creeped out for some reason.

I fully read through routes of characters I like but if it's someone I find annoying, I'll just skip most of it and read only parts I find interesting. I just want to clear the game most of the time or if a character I like is a locked/hidden route AHHAHHAH

I see a few others here are the same, but I used to save my favorite character for the final route. But ever since I got busy with work, I end up getting tired out by the less interesting routes before I can even get to the end, so I never finish the game lol

Going through a character's entire path to get the one you're interested in is a real pain.

I think my biggest quirk is that I only really like one otome game: Diabolik Lovers. I've played through all the games and finished several routes for the characters I was interested in.
I love the world and the atmosphere - the way it's all put together. There are also a lot of different character types.
I've tried others, but I've only played them once. Just one root - I've never dug any deeper.
Sometimes I enjoy some dramas, but that's also a passing craze.
Other characters I love from anime, books, and RPGs
