What cliche from an otome game would you remove?

[Cardia31]

If you could rewrite the laws of physics in an otome world, what cliche would you remove forever (like the main character falling right into a guy's arms or sudden memory loss)?

The female being automatically submissive, I wanna peg those bussies not play a hentai game wannabe.

 

[ninnikuryona]

not play a hentai game wannabe.

but unlike otome, galge mcs actually do dick girls down!

but yeah some variety in mcs would be nice probably, even though i personally am not a fan of femdom. i guess dominating mcs are just not that popular with the ladies in japan>< and also because theres a lack in hentai otome in general, so a proactive mc would be harder to portray....? like, a dominant mc wouldnt awoke this "dokidoki" feeling in the reader, which is kinda the entire point of otome games. on the brighter side though, theres a whole tag for submissive men in シチュボ scene!:D
at least galge have their fair share of dominant women.. if you can stomach the average galge's contents that is..!

"Chosen ones" FLs who are useless

 

[aqueencxz]

the onii-chan routes always make me uncomfortable

 

[ashiee]

I think LI that has child personality or looks its a bit turn off for me as an adult and a bit grumpy player haha

 

[enren]

MCs that cook and clean...

 

[rickaz_z]

I hate it when the heroine 'forgets' a childhood friend she literally grew up with. It's so overused, and they almost never even bother to explain why

 

[yueop]

As expected, amnesia is what I hate the most.
Why do they lose their memories?!
I don't really like clichés such as losing memories after fainting from a huge shock, or losing memories from a head injury.

 

[NotMyCupOfTea]

MC being too stupid to even do the basic things... It's like they are so useless. That's why I usually don't play many otome games recently. Mind you, it seems that recently is changing, which is good.

 

[mirasaki]

Agree with MC being useless/can't do anything should be remove. Or at least remove a scenMC starts acting independently but LIs got anxious and wants to keep protecting MC. Just let MC fight with the bad guys and protecting their precious LIs

 

[bravelyflee]

When a LI acts completely different in others' routes vs their route.

 

[Pastels]

I would get rid of the "Oh, even though you bullied and degraded me for most of the storyline, I'm still going to forgive you because being nice is the only personality trait I have" MC.

 

[ruruchan2u]

A pretty MC with...assets..

The cliché of the good protagonist.

I want to see a villainous heroine. I like it when my MC can go the path of vice and evil with a male character who shows her the way. It's not even about dominance or boldness - it's just the slow corruption of the heroine, ideally one who starts out as a gray character so there's "fertile ground".
It would also be interesting to see a story where the heroine is a complete demoness, and the guys try to redeem her, while the MC tries to corrupt him. There would be an ending where they fall into her trap.
