What’s a highly praised otome game that didn’t work for you?

Not necessarily a bad game, just one that everyone seems to love but you couldn't really get into. Was it the story, the MC, the LIs, the pacing, or just the overall vibe? I'm curious which popular games didn't live up to your expectations

For me, I think sometimes a game can be objectively well-made, but still not click with me personally.

Is there a popular otome game that you really wanted to love but just couldn't get into?

Jack Jeanne, Piofiore: Fated Memories, Norn9, and some of Otomate's newer games.
I'm not a fan of Otomate's newer games with their outlandish storylines; I prefer the more slice-of-life ones.
But I actually really liked a lot of Otomate's older games…

Hakuoki and Code Realize.

For Hakuoki, I think it's because I expected a pure historical story, not something vampire-related. It's probably my fault for having those expectations before playing tho lol. Code Realize just isn't my cup of tea. I don't know if it's the art style or the writing, but it just didn't hook me enough.

I can't hype it up with my friend, but I can definitely lend an ear when she tell me about the game, collabs, or merch.
