What pulls you first when getting into an otome game/BL?

Art style is what draws me to a game first.
For me, even if a game has a great story, I'll get bored quickly if the art isn't my taste. However, sometimes it works the other way around too! (✪ω✪)/
 
It's fun how the dynamics and emotional tone of a relationship can change depending on the choices you make, even with the same character. I also enjoy the process of gradually uncovering new aspects of the world and the characters as I play through different routes.
 
I will read other's review on the writing/story quality first , Artstyle is the part I paid least attention to.
 
The story, the visuals. If it has mystery (or horror), I'm already sold. I also love it when one of the LIs is the MC's childhood friend or best friend, because I'm basic like that lol.
 
Honestly ? the visuals and the seiyuu
even when the guys is not actually my type story wise if they're handsome and voiced by my fav seiyuu, i will play the game...
 
If the male characters' visuals and voices aren't appealing, I can't enjoy the game and won't feel like continuing to play. Of course, the story and world are important too. I don't pay attention to reviews; I choose based on my own preferences.
 
I know people who are solely dedicated to their favourite seiyuus and would just try anything that they're in.
And I know people who are immediately sold just by the visuals.

For me, it really depends... But I'm often hooked by either the premise or if it's from a developer/publisher that I trust.
I am the kind of person that is solely sold by the visuals. The plot is terrible? Yeah who cares the men look like a dream in my eyes if the art is a 10/10, haha!
 
Illustrations pull me into a game and keep me interested! Character illustrations are of course important but I really value background art because I LOVE seeing all the details in the environment that really put me into the world that the MC is in. If the illustrations are not my cup of tea, I can still deal and manage if the story is engaging enough!

首先吸引我的是網路上對它故事情節的推薦。

(所以,在線上分享和討論真的非常重要。)
第二點是藝術風格。

但只要故事有趣,即使畫面不是很好我也能接受。
 
First, I look at the art style.

That's because it needs to be beautiful to catch my eye.

Second is the story!

No matter how pretty the art is, if the story isn't good, I don't feel like playing it.
 
The art, the premise, and then the writers and company. I will sometimes skip a game if I don't like the art which is a shame.
 
The MC must be entertaining or at least bearable, and if the MC is a complete blank slate the plot must be interesting. I don't care about VAs, and the art/sprites and OST are just a plus. The same as a book really.
 
I think the first thing that attracts me after entering the game is the plot, followed by the style and personality of the male protagonist.

If all of the above are met, I will complete it all.

Sometimes, if I'm not very interested in a game, I usually play a single line or even not play at all.
