What’s your favorite Otome CD trope and what made you love it?

For me, it's the childhood friend trope. It's such a simple, basic trope, but umm… I'm not really sure why I like it. I just love it whether it's a childhood friend who's younger or one who's older than mc

Maybe it's because right from the beginning, there's already that feeling of familiarity between the characters, so there's no need for a lot of buildup. And I especially love it when it gets to the part where they start getting jealous

Definitely a childhood friend! lol other than that, probably yandere, submissive man, and a reverse harem~ Oh, I love interspecies too! Like elves or beasts, lmao while forbidden things sometimes caught my eye (like Kindan Jouji, Kareshi/Danna Igai series).

The childhood friend trope is def one of my faves too!! The pre-established relationship allows for more romantic development!!

Personally, I LOVE the kohai trope!!! I swear half my posts on this forum are about how much I love kohai CDs / characters (๑>؂•̀๑) I've always been drawn to kohai characters, mostly due to the formal language/keigo they use!! Their natural clinginess and moe also allow for so much gap ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ഒ

i love coworker trope! especially if senpai x kouhai trope or boss x staff! if they have age gap, that's even better. i love drama cd character that the older one act so mature and calm. Especially when they're boss, they helping us or providing us mentally and financially and the told us to not to work too hard, omg im melting~

The world-weary, stoic older man who keeps a quiet distance, but gradually lets down his guard. Hearing a deep, tired voice slowly soften and reveal subtle vulnerability or quiet devotion through intimate whispers creates an emotional intimacy that other tropes simply can't match.
