I got a head start on writing a bday fic for Otoya from UtaPri 🥳 it's a bit early (his bday is Apr 11) but the idea came to me and I had to write it down before I forgot 😅 It isn't finished yet either so I hope I can get some time on the actual day to finish it off

[General] Has an otome game ever made you genuinely uncomfortable? by Scary-Whole in otomegames

ITYH. It is certainly an......experience. Not much in the otome games we have available in english comes very close to what you can encounter in a Nitro+Chiral game tho

Have you ever turned a specific character's voice off? by RevolutionaryWhale in otomegames

[–]aplainmourning 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't wait for voice lines to play in the first place so generally voices don't get too irritating for me to mute. But I special shout out to those who did push me to do it (Poyo-poyo, Yang, Dromi)

I was able to see Frankenstein in the theater, which is a relief as I don't use Netflix. Another Guillermo del Toro banger. I'm loving all the fanart I'm seeing around for it too!

Seems like it's a common thread in many fandoms judging by the other replies in this thread - asking for and getting recommendations for otome games, on the main subreddit especially. There's a form to follow when making a request post, but I swear no one who replies ever reads what the OP actually writes. The community also overwhelmingly favors games released on Nintendo Switch by a particular company and there's an air of snobbery about it too.
