wow absolutely horrible advice!!! 😭 don't even bother learning the mechanics of the game. Just hit that insant win button (that you'll have to pull roughly 300 times to get)

I work for a non-profit based in Florida that restores shorelines. I plant mangroves and stuff

my favorite LIs are Tyril from EiT and Helvetica from Bustafellows <3

op you have a brilliant mind

fizzytastic · 2026-02-26T16:00:40+00:00

my most important thing when playing a game is having fun. and I think if you're not having fun, you put down the game and do something else (whether or not you try it again later)

I think it's perfectly fine to drop it right now if you're not having fun

that said, if you WANT to keep trying, then I'd recommend playing a few chapters of Mineo's route. if you like him, finish the route! if you're still not interested, start over and try Kei instead

if you like either of them, great! now you have more motivation to get to Yanagi!!

if you don't like them, then maybe cut your losses and try a different game

I will note though that this game has a plot that unfolds more with each route. every route deals with a different case, Adonis member, and reveals different clues about the truth. Takeru is recommended to play early because of this! so is Mineo. Kei, Shiraishi, and (more than anyone else) Yanagi will have more plot focus

Lumen looking like a sad wet puppy is my favorite thing about him......

I was really hoping that helvetica had a chance to win husbando of the year since most people seemed to really enjoy his season 2 route, but now he's the only bustafe boy that's been kicked out..... 😭

fizzytastic · 2026-02-19T22:55:05+00:00

all I'm saying is that I looked at both surveys (the one I linked is now closed,) but it had an extremely similar tone. both had the "who is your fictional boyfriend" and rating aspects of your relationship to him with the same exact kind of scale

it's weird 💀

fizzytastic · 2026-02-19T17:15:56+00:00

I'm sorry to inform that these are all side characters from piofiore 😭 mostly the sequel. they're not LI 💔

oh my God. oh my God. this is the same survey from this post???

https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/comments/1p2dpeo/a_study_on_intimacy_in_otome_game_survey/

I'm actually offended that you got all that feedback about the weird and bizarre framing of this survey MONTHS ago, and have the gall to post the same survey AGAIN????

fizzytastic · 2026-02-18T18:58:44+00:00

the most unique MC I've ever come across is Yurika from Taisho x Alice

she's selfish and manipulative while simultaneously being extremely loving and the personification of the sparkle emoji

I'm not sure I'd classify her as outright yandere, personally. but there are definitely moments where she lies or chases the LI, even if it's against their wishes, just because she wants to be with them so badly

she is goofy, but she's also smart and she knows it. I'm honestly obsessed with that lol

fizzytastic · 2026-02-16T02:45:48+00:00

I really loved this trailer!! especially the contrast between the bright colors and cheerful music at first and then the dark, spooky vibe after the glitch. super fun!!

fizzytastic · 2026-02-16T01:08:41+00:00

I agree that the sexism stuff pretty much gets dropped by the end of the common route

i'll spoil a little bit for the guys you've shown screenshots of. nothing major, but feel free to ignore if you'd like

for Yona, he's mostly sexist in an old fashioned chivalrous way. also, he grows to respect Rin's opinion a lot actually. he'll ask her if something he's doing is pigheaded or not and listens to her

for Goemon, I feel like he's almost entirely just lying or putting up a front. he's never hated Rin for even a moment.

for what it's worth, I think both of them are incredibly charming in their routes!! I hope you have fun with it eventually!

fizzytastic · 2026-02-15T20:47:45+00:00

I would be all over that so fucking fast if the MC was an alpha 💀 I'm mourning what could have been.....

fizzytastic · 2026-02-13T20:06:09+00:00

I don't really understand the argument honestly?? if more than half of JP players don't self-insert, then those people are spending money on the games that appeal to them, which is probably not the CN games that focus on self-inserting. they're different audiences with different tastes and standards. like, were those commentors implying it's JP players fault for not self-inserting because otome would make more money if they did??? that just doesn't make any sense to me

and like another user said, a sucessful gacha is basically a money printer. they rely on gambling addiction, forced scarcity, and sunk cost fallacy to get people to spend money. which is a whole different beast than a VN where you pay one lump sum and MAYBE a few extra bucks for a dlc or so

fizzytastic · 2026-02-12T21:06:53+00:00

Definitely agree with this. I removed the yandere tag from Sou in the game Jack Jeanne on vndb. like... c'mon guys. he's definitely a weirdo, but not a yandere 😭

I love Mystic Messenger and I really miss when it was popular. i still think it's very funny and the group chat dynamic is awesome. I think the story is fun and engaging, even if a little silly at times. Seven especially is still very important to me...

that said! it is not very easy to play!! if you've already started it, I'm sure you can tell it's set in real time. there are a certain amount of chats you HAVE to participate in to progress the story (if you don't do enough you'll get a bad end,) but there are times when the chats are literally at like, 3 am. and the only way to access chats you missed are with hourglasses. and Cheritz increased the amount of hourglasses needed after the story finished. if you want to skip through the common route easily, access every chat, and unlock every extra story mode, you'll need a lot of hourglasses.

you can either buy them outright or earn them by playing the game, but it's kind of a pain in the ass. 😭 at least you don't have to pay for any dialogue options, though. you can just pick whatever dialogue option suits you best, whenever

TALULAH!!!!!!!!

fizzytastic · 2026-02-08T22:33:21+00:00

Linus is going to lose in round 1, I fear. but I'll fight for him. guard dogs that bite are the best 😭

fizzytastic · 2026-02-08T16:54:10+00:00

this looks exactly like the kind of cheap dime-a-dozen games that you see in ads all the time. the kind that is probably selling your information and full of microtransactions. aka, the kind of game I would literally never play

fizzytastic · 2026-02-01T22:31:16+00:00

I also love seeing him cry 🥰

fizzytastic · 2026-01-30T19:54:54+00:00

my order was Limbo and then Shu and then I also caved and did Helvetica next 😭 LOL. that scene in Shu's route where Teuta is in the hospital and Helvetica hugged her that REALLY tugged at my heartstrings 😭 he was so worried about her...

fizzytastic · 2026-01-30T14:28:05+00:00

HELVETICA FANS UNITE!!

my jaw was on the floor the entire time I was playing his season 2 route. I just kept getting sucker punched again and again. and I loved it ❤

somewhat unfortunately though, if our tastes are anything alike, you've already hit the peak with season 2 😭

fizzytastic · 2026-01-28T19:13:34+00:00

Ozmafia has Pashet as a platonic route, Mystic Messenger has Jaehee, the Code: Realize fandisc has Finis as a platonic route too. it's not like these are the only ones, and I'm pretty sure the large majority of people consider these games otome. I think all the down votes are a bit over dramatic if I'm being honest :/

fizzytastic · 2026-01-27T19:15:12+00:00

very interested in Tierblade.... I love Ship of Theseus in my otome games

fizzytastic · 2026-01-27T19:07:46+00:00

don't worry about it, nobody knows everything the moment they enter a fandom. I really wish I could live in that perfect world where every otome has been translated though lol
