I started playing when I was in highschool. Usually I played online games like Ragnarok Online, but because school was too busy, I couldn't play online games anymore, so I switched to offline games, especially otome games.
i forgot when exactly. i think i tried an otome game a long time ago, but i didn't know it was called otome back then. i only played it for a while because i didn't really understand how it worked. years later, someone recommended another otome game to me, and i really liked it. that's how i got into otome games.
