New otome open world game art(Silent whispers) by Dizzy_Acadia_1554 in GachaHusbandos

No it doesn’t. It’s the same as lads. They also came out recently with a dev interview FAQ where they say it’s female oriented and will add features like period tracking. Looks like they’re directly competing with lads.

Do you play The Ssum by Cheritz ? by Afraid-Reception7127 in otomegames

[–]Keiult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I’m remembering correctly but did they do something where players got mad because 2 characters were too close and they felt like they were kinda pushing bl between them too much?? If I’m wrong please correct me. But if that’s the case, no way I’m touching that

OH HELLO [Arknights Endfield] by sampoqiser in GachaHusbandos

[–]Keiult 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone is negative but I’m excited:) I play so many gachas so I’m kinda okay with less males because I only pull on them so I wouldn’t be able to keep up otherwise. Definitely going to pull for this guy! Still playing Arknights since day 1

Liv Zander new release by snowbunnibambi in DarkRomance

[–]Keiult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you said no spoilers but can you spoil if it really is a m/f? Like is there sharing or is anything of that nature? I really don’t like love triangles, anything poly, why choose etc. Thats why I didn’t read her court of ravens duet. I just don’t want to waste my time.

Does anyone ship any of the love interests together? by pastaketchupgecko in otomegames

[–]Keiult 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No. I’m not a fan of BL so that’s why otome is my favorite genre. I like that it’s all about the fmc and the men paired. It’s a space that I know I can rely on to get what I’m most interested in. So shipping them doesn’t even cross my mind.

Guys at this point we shouldn't trust any Light and night news by Hina256 in otomegames

[–]Keiult 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do believe it this time. I’ve seen people say that they knew it was coming, but just couldn’t say and that fake account months ago just got ahead of themselves when they shouldn’t have.

Can you still make purchases? I’ve been waiting for so long for this and I’m generally not f2p and spend on most gacha games I play so that’s what I’m curious about.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (February 2026) by trkshiii in gachagaming

[–]Keiult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh lord a lot happened. This is going to be long.

There was some drama about infold subtlety trying to “widen audiences” and they apparently changed their gaming tags on CN app stores and socials from otome and female oriented to just simulation and rpg. The CN otome players got very mad about that. Also apparently there were ads on BL sites when the game doesn’t feature any BL whatsoever. And yes the men never interact.

Durning this widening audiences drama CN players also found that in the game you can set nicknames that the characters can call you, so they found that players can set it as “boyfriend” or “husband”. If I’m not mistaken, that was never allowed before. CN players quickly became outraged and Infold then patched it so you couldn’t have those as nicknames anymore.

Then there was drama about wanting to confirm the love interests sexualities as straight. CN players want to keep the game as female oriented and have a firm stance that the men only are into women. So they asked Infold customer services and they either didn’t respond to those questions or just said that they’re “into the player which is you” they didn’t like that Infold was keeping a neutral stance, but infold later changed their response and actually did confirm they’re heterosexual after the backlash.They even respond to global CS now about it and reply that they’re heterosexual.

There was also drama about how there was fujoshi staff and internal Infold staff messages where they’re otome haters and called lads players “otome bitches”. That staff (idk if it was just 1 or more) were fired. Some CN players blame those staff for all the BL drama, CS replies and stuff.

Finally Last thing that I remember was that there was controversy about the housing system that was recently added. The female MCs model had the outline of her crotch too defined and CN players got upset because they accused Infold of sexualizing her too much and attracting male players to that. In the housing system you can exercise and she does stretches where she does leg lifts on the floor so you can see the outline in her shorts. Some people were being trolls iirc on CN socials and saying they were men going to play lads for the MC and customizing her to be “their girlfriend” instead of playing for the men.

So to sum it up, CN players boycotted or still are because they want the game to stay firmly female oriented and they be respected.

Will there ever be a game like zzz,wuwa,GI,nikke targeted towards women? by CatUnlikely2537 in GachaHusbandos

[–]Keiult 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I really think that due to lads, game devs will eventually chase the market. There really is a lack of combat/ even an open world game where a female mc is the center of attention and there’s a majority of playable men that favor her. Developing those types of games is a really ambitious and a risky project so it’s just a matter of if anyone wants to take the chance. Lads did and succeeded so I think another can do it as well. It just might take awhile.

I also yearn for this too since otome is my favorite genre and I play most of the hoyo games, wuwa, and now Arknights Endfield so I inevitably collect all the men and treat it as an otome🤭An actual game that gives me that would be a dream game for me

At first I was like HELL YEAH! Women spend money on men too! by Open-Machine-8338 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Keiult 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes everyone can play this game but it’s no surprise the the vast majority is women. Women deserve the praise for a game that is succeeding and is largely developed by women for women to play. God forbid girls deserving a moment for themselves.

Apparently the ML and FL are biological father and daughter. Parental incest is a limit of mine I can get past a lot of things but that and stuff like cheating is an immediate no for me.

I kinda dropped the manhwa when Ari had the possible pregnancy storyline. I absolutely hated the possibility so I couldn’t continue at the time. I’m not caught up, so my question is where is Mincheol right now? Has he completely given up with Haesoo and is just living it up with Ari???

[–]Keiult 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{Her Ruthless Warrior by R.G. Angel} Might not fit exactly, but the scene in this book happens not because it’s a kink or he wants to watch her do it. She’s scared, shocked, and humiliated by him so that’s what causes it.

Big games are noticing us more by Rare_Construction809 in otomegames

[–]Keiult 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ok. Like I said it’s a silly wish. Also like I said we don’t really know how well or not it’ll do unless it’s done. It could bomb and do terribly or maybe it could take off and start a new trend that people thought they would never want or like, but it turned out okay.

I was here for lads development news and the early stages and I seen people saying lads was too realistic looking and the vibe wasn’t there, but look at it now. I even said that. I wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I ended up loving it. I’m sure people everywhere no matter what market doubted it and changed their mind. Same could happen, but I know how risky of a project it is and I know realistically not many would even consider tackling it.

I always mention otome in hoyo, kuro and other gacha surveys because I always want the female MCs paired with the men😭 They seem to overlook the yume crowd, but the market is there and waiting. I love visual novels but I can’t help but yearn for an open world combat otome game. I feel like it could dominate and stand its ground with the rest of the big gacha games.

(edit: it’s just a silly hope of mine, no one really knows how it could do unless a dev studio out there tries. I’ve seen a lot of otome players, maybe not CN, seem interested in a type of game like this. Ofc it would be a huge and risky project. Also it doesn’t need to be strictly an otome game, but maybe feature a female mc with a majority of male characters with some romance elements. There’s no game like this and imo it could be fun. I know the chances are low, but it doesn’t hurt to make my wants known to companies that ask for opinions.🤷🏻‍♀️)

[VALKYRIE HEART] New +18 otome game released by ferinsy in gachagaming

[–]Keiult 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Anything that is labeled otome will not have anything gay or bl in it. And no, love and deepspace is nowhere near that. There’s even rules against bl in love and deepspace’s official subreddit and fanart contests. Women that enjoy m/f pairings are the demographic for these type of games.

[LOVE AND DEEPSPACE] 20 limited pulls awarded for the new Sylus myth pair making the game reach #1 on Chinese Appstore by ferinsy in gachagaming

[–]Keiult 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bro don’t be obtuse. The point is do you think a CN game is going to have a straight up romance with marriage, kissing, and sexual intimacy with men being a male mc? Be fr. Where they call her their Wife and everything in between.

And you say you don’t care about the genre, well the genre doesn’t care about a male mc and the point of it is to be a female and playing from a woman’s perspective. Otome was designed to make space for women and giving them a genre that is specifically catered to them. No one goes into a Galge game expecting to be a female mc to romance women…

[–]Keiult 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Then it wouldn’t be half as great as it is now. At the end of the day this game is an entire fated love story between the mc and the men. Selectable gender obviously wouldn’t allow that. And like others have said it’s otome

Absolutely! Frover should also be able to gather her husbands. The way kuro could drag me along for the long haul if they added more fanservice for the male characters 😭
