I'm replying on otome games just bc i have more experience with this genre than bl games, even if i like both i think i have a preference for otome games just bc i can ( even if just a bit ) can relate to the mc (heroine) compared to bl games ( since i'm a girl ) but i really like the stories told on both sides been rather interesting and different !! I enjoyed playing slow damage and lucky dog but also adore sidekickBeyond and Starry sky!! Both r valid and kinda the different versions of the same coin
I enjoy both, but I'm more into otome games. I started playing them on my PSP when I was younger, and I've been a fan ever since. As for BL, I got into it through manga and drama CDs later on. 。◕‿◕。
otome is an important genre to me because its essentially an entire genre of stories written by (usually), for, and about women, which is pretty damn cool! and probably because i just like girls more in general.. or something....;; so its otome for me!
i still enjoy bl of course, but if we are talking about same-sex contents, i like yuri/gl more..:"3
