What's an otome trope you will never get tired of?

[BlackF]

There are some tropes that show up in otome games and drama CDs over and over again, but somehow they STILL hit every time.
The kuudere who only shows his softer side to the MC, childhood friends, enemies-to-lovers, yandere LIs, tsundere LIs, jealous/possessive moments, forbidden romance, amnesia, secret identities, the "I'll protect you" type, or even those classic drama CD scenarios that we've heard a hundred times but still eat up every single time.

What's that one trope, character archetype, or scenario you could see in every single game/CD and never get tired of?

I like it when there's a reveal of sorts about MC and the LI having met in the past briefly and MC having left a brain altering impression on the LI. Like sometimes it can seem like a crutch or replacement for actual chemistry but I just really like these life changing encounters. I guess I'm not immune to love at first sight-adjacent things as much as I'd like to be lol

I'm also really into cutesy or prim&proper looking characters that have a mean streak or just a dark/eccentric side. Haraguro 4 life

Oh man, menhara/yanderes LI. In recent years I have loved the concept of those obsessive and unhealthy loves.

I also like the trope where they pretend to be lovers and really fall in love. 10/10.
