I used to love the crazy fantasy or historical games and thought modern games were boring.. now I absolutely love chill modern otomes, thats why I really liked Him, The Smile and Bloom because it was just about a cute flower shop and these two normal people falling in love. The normality of it is so refreshing, like I love plot heavy games with intense world building but sometimes I just want to focus on the characters lives and who they are as a person. Modern otome works great for that, and though its not as intense or high stakes it can still bring to light very serious and interesting topics!
Ive been finding that i enjoy more character-focused games these days because i wanna know more about the people instead of the world they live in!
