What do you value more in otome: the plot or the romance?

[usagii]

i lean a bit more towards the romance side. i usually want to see how the plot can fit in with the romance and how each route can take it and give the romance, but i still value routes where the plot isnt in the main focus and its just mainly the plot device for the route setup. sometimes its nice to just see the characters fall in love and not have to deal with some crazy situation thats going on. so even though i do like the plot mainly, if the romance is good then it can make up for the route being less focused on the plot

Value both of them!! There's otome game which had few romantic scene ( just at the happy ending you will see ml and heroine being romantic the plot is so cool i give it 10/10 but if only they increased the romantic scenes, it would be perfect for me

For me, the story always comes first. Romance is a nice bonus, but only if it's built on top of a strong and well-written plot.

I prefer both xDDD or maybe a good plot with romance story DLC

I value romance aspect way more than plot. I don't mind plot being too predictable, but if the romance part is bad, that's a big no for me.
I love otome games with good plot, but it is not this important to me
