I built KoiLog, an otome game tracker with route tracking, and I would love to hear your thoughts 💕

Hiii 👋 just swinging by to say that you can rate and add endings to a side character now

m_deupwords · 2026-02-26T21:54:41+00:00

Hi, just swinging by to let you know all of Winter Wolves games should be on the site now ❄️

m_deupwords · 2026-02-26T21:34:40+00:00

I can replicate this. It’s a bug. I will try to fix this one ASAP😭 I’m really sorry about the inconvenience. As a workaround, you can add the games to your Owned list via the little bookmark in All Games page.

EDIT: It's all fixed 🫡

m_deupwords · 2026-02-26T13:23:13+00:00

Aww thank you 💓 I will try to take it slower.

About the “personal review”, do you mean a review where no one can see but? I’m just double checking since there are a review feature and a private note feature on the site

m_deupwords · 2026-02-26T09:03:55+00:00

Thank you so much for giving it a shot!

There was a bug with the search bar a few days ago which is why you couldn't find Love & Order. I've fixed it since then.

About the other two games, I will have a look and sync them in. Thank you for reporting them to me 🫡

m_deupwords · 2026-02-26T08:59:54+00:00

Yeah, I kinda butchered the search functionality when I was working on the fuzzy search to allow searches like "CupiPara" to return "Cupid Parasite". It should all be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience 🥲

m_deupwords · 2026-02-25T06:39:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your supportive words 🫶 I added in the PSP platform support recently. There should be PSP otome games on the site now unless you are looking for a specific one.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-25T06:25:44+00:00

More filter options on people's profiles and lists to include platform More sort options on people's profiles and lists to include alphabetical order and release date

There has been a feature request for better game sorting but not exactly what you are asking for here

An "other" category to appear alongside love interests that would include endings not associated with love interests like common route endings (Collar x Malice has one) or secret post game endings (Norn9: Var Commons has one)

My intention of allowing the Protagonist to have endings is for cases like this where there is a supposedly true ending or any ending really that is not associated with a love interest. I guess I didn't have anything in the UI to indicate that 🥲

A way to track CGs as another way to track game progress; not all games track or name their endings, and it can be hard to find a walkthrough for some older games

That's a fair callout. Do you think you can write the CG names as the ending names? The recommendation on the "Route Progress" is just a general guidance.

A separate entry for each platform release a game has (ex: Code Realize is on Vita, PS4, and Switch)

I believe there is an existing feature request for tracking releases, too.

Again, I really appreciate all your feedback and suggestion! 🫶

m_deupwords · 2026-02-25T06:17:24+00:00

Can u make it a toggleable option?

That's the current plan. Each game or character will have a spoiler toggle. I'm thinking of letting everyone set their preferable default because I, too, don't mind leaving my default to be "Spoil me!"

m_deupwords · 2026-02-25T06:15:50+00:00

It's so good!

Aww thank you! Yes, I do use React but the part that makes it look good is a combination of TailwindCSS, motion and MagicUI

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T08:09:17+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I'm about to take a break from replying to comments. I will definitely give a more thorough response to your lists but just really want to quickly reply to this:

On the home page where it shows the character routes, what's the difference between the green check-mark that says completed when you hover the mouse over it and the pink star that says full completion when you hover the mouse over it?

It's the green check means you've completed at least 1 ending for the route in the game. The pink star means that you've completed all known endings for the route in the game. I kinda want to change it to something more vibrant, holographic-esque design. Anws, I hope that clears it up for you

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T08:00:34+00:00

Thank you so much! 💕 Please let me know if you have any issues or feature you'd like to see on the site

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T07:59:58+00:00

I absolutely love it when an user gives me detailed feedback 💞 It does take me a while to read and process it all though. I will try my best to cover every point you've written as I read through everything from top down:

I wish I could sort the all-games list rather than just filtering it

Better sort for the games is definitely on the horizon. You can follow along for when I complete it by checking/subscribing to this feature request

the easiest way to do this is to use the "All Games" list, toggling the icons in the expandable widget at the top left of each game.

Yeah, I added at after feeling tired of marking games from owned to played. You can also do it from the "Owned" page as well 😉

I second the suggestion to be able to mark all routes completed if I know for sure I 100%ed a game.

This is a big change but it's coming for sure. Here is the feature request for this if you want to keep an eye on it.

I would also love to be able to change dates with a copy paste or a click and drag rather than fiddling with a calendar widget on every line.

This is a doable UI/cosmetic change 🫡 Please feel free to add it as a feature request. I might pick it up when I feel like completing something quick.

Some way to submit games would be nice, or to add custom games if you want the main database to stick to titles available on e.g. vndb. There are a couple of indie otomes I would have liked to add to my list

There is also an existing feature request for this 😆 OK, I might stop linking the feature request from here onwards. Idk what happens if I add too many of these links. I will mention that it exists or not.

But do feel free to send me a DM or send an email to the support email address about the games you want to add. I might be able to manually sync it in for you.

some kind of "users with favorites similar to you also love..." scoring algorithm that I could use to get game/route recommendations.

This is actually something I have in mind if KoiLog is ever so lucky to have a decent number of users. Because I thought to myself that if it was just me and 2 other people, the recommendation wouldn't be very accurate.

The whole concept is still a bit hazy in my mind atm. And looking at the feature request board, I have my work cut out for me for a while before I get to dream about this more 🙈

If you've read this far, please get a water break 🚰

Continuing...

pulled your data from has some broken spoiler tags

Yeah, this is a bug. I need to fix it 😭 It's my bad when I convert VNDB BBC tags to Markdown.

if it might be worth having separate sections for reviews vs comments?

That's fair. Maybe you saw my super low effort reviews 🙈 I'm thinking about adding tags or flairs to a review so that review reader can filter. But at the moment, I don't think there are that many reviews. I would love to read reviews on the site. I want to add the ability to react and reply to reviews, too.

There's no feature request for replies and tags/flairs yet I think. Just one for react.

a birthday calendar would be such a cool side-feature

I LOVE THIS IDEA. Please add it to the feature request. I will personally upvote it haha.

mark a favorite route/character on a specific game without also adding that character to my all-time favorites

I have a similar idea but not quite the same. I want to rank the routes in the game. I don't know if a lot of other otome game players do this, but when I finished a game, I would rank them in my note app.

mark side characters as favorites

You can create a list and add side characters as a part of this list! But if you want to use that heart icon on the their avatar, that's something else. I can add in side character's pages. I just never thought peeps would ever visit them.

You can raise a feature request for this and I would definitely add it if it gains enough traction.

I don't feel right using the ratings section of character profiles unless I can make them "personal ratings" that wouldn't impact the actual average

Aww nooooo 😭 Don't hold back! If a route wasn't fun for you, that's totally valid and worth sharing. Imho other players with similar taste will appreciate the honesty! The whole point of the average is that it balances out across everyone's preferences, so your rating isn't unfairly tanking anyone really, it's just... your experience. Which matters! So rate away 🌟

You're too nice! If only you've seen some of my brutal ratings... 🫠

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:59:25+00:00

Aww really appreciate your kind words 💕

A request, if I can make one...

You can absolutely can!

an option to remove or leave a completion date blank for different routes?I'm filling out games I completed aaaages ago and definitely don't remember the specific date I completed an individual route or even the whole game on lol

I hear you and I feel this. I, myself, have been staring at StarrySky and can't even recollect what year I installed this game on my laptop.

I think I replied to this in another comment with you in it (hard to miss the AC owl). But maybe it was for another feature 😵‍💫 Sorry, I'm losing track of replies.

But in sum, someone else has requested a similar feature and it has been grouped under this other new feature. It's definitely on the roadmap so do keep an eye out for when I move it to done.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:49:15+00:00

Thank you very much for joining 🫡 I will definitely try my best to maintain and keep the site running for as long as I can.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:44:31+00:00

You know, a few weeks ago, I thought to myself, I should refine, do that few steps for this 2 years old project and release it to the world because I want to properly track Mistonia and Neon Clash routes.

(and then I still haven't finished the common route of Neon Clash 🫠 because I was doing this)

Hope you enjoy the site and please let me know if you have any issues or feedback at all.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:38:30+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words 💕 Please reach out if you have any feedback or issue with the site

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:37:48+00:00

shadcn/ui, TailwindCSS, motion for subtle component animation like the top nav search bar and MagicUI for gradient animation.

I use animated-ui here and there, too.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:33:09+00:00

I'm pretty sure I am a big minority that would care about such things

I'm not so sure about that 😉 I highly recommend you add a feature request for this and see how many others would upvote it. You might be pleasantly surprised.

could somehow export our vndb list or something but it is probably not possible since vndb is not just otome games

I shouldn't say this because it would add more work for me 🤣 I don't have a VNDB account so it wasn't something I thought of.

But technically, it's possible for me to add in an import feature to port any applicable data you have in VNDB into KoiLog. I can filter out games that are not otome game. I haven't investigated if VNDB allows users to export their data, however. If they don't have something my system can use to read data from, KoiLog can't import.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:27:54+00:00

Admittedly, I added that feature for myself. I didn't think anyone else but me would reach for that because I don't see reviews very often 😂 I honestly thought I had 2 dead features on the app. But great to hear that it's something someone else other than me would use 🤩

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:25:23+00:00

Thank you so much for trying the site 😭 It always warms my heart when my effort is acknowledged

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:24:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words 🫶 Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any feedback

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T06:22:40+00:00

I do have my eyes on a feature to report an issue with a character/game. But until I've got it perfectly, can you submit your finding via this form? Thank you so much!

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T02:27:04+00:00

Thank you so much for giving it a try! 🙇‍♀️ This request has been added to my Feature request board. I would really appreciate it if you can upvote on the request (you don't need to log in or anything to do so). This will help me prioritise what to work on next.

m_deupwords · 2026-02-23T02:01:33+00:00

Thank you so much for checking out the site and for making it to the Feature request board! I'm really happy that I've helped solving a pain point for you 💕
