Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I get to the main part of this post I'd like to mention that "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly", "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk", and "7'scarlet" are all ready for pre-order on Amazon! So I'll make sure to leave a link down below to each page. The main thing I'll be talking about in this post is things I find as a big part of an otome game. You could also think of this as things that make an otome game. Though that could/may differ. But let's get started with it!
When I think about this the first thing that comes to my mind is the story/genre. Even though both the story and genre could probably be split up, it more or else also fits together. Since a story could be based off a genre or vise versa, etc. This basically also determines to how much I would want to play that game as well. Of course there may be other aspects as well, but this is mostly it. Everything is mostly determined through the synopsis of the story/game and what it's about. Though I also tend to play any game no matter what but this is more based on hype and wanting/order I may play games. When it comes to genres then even though I may not like a certain one when faced to one I'm not into and one I am (or just between overall themes) then I try to be open about it. This is mostly due to me playing a game I thought I wouldn't like as much as the other one I had so I started it first to get it over with, but in the end I actually ended up enjoying that one more than the other.
The next thing I would have to say is art. Even though I try not to pay attention to art as a main thing, it's kinda hard not to. I mean you get the story and art style kinda right off the bat. So of course this would have to be here. Also even though I only know of one artist by their name, I do notice other artist/art styles I know through out other otome games. I recently discovered that this also kinda makes me want to play a game, since I notice these art styles and artist, and since it's familiar I guess it makes me want to play the game a bit more then possibly other or such. (I hope I conveyed it in a way for people to understand? Also, this kinda makes me biased towards wanting to play "7'scarlet" a bit more than the other games, because of Chinatsu Kurahana?)
The last thing I would say for this post is the characters/voice actors. I kinda feel like this one is a no brainier? Obviously in order to enjoy an otome game you would have to connect with at least one character I feel like? Though that could also not be true. But normally you at least have to be interested in one in order to become interested in the others. Normally if a game doesn't have characters (or I guess stereotypes also?) that you either don't enjoy or like as much then this could probably lower how you feel about the game. But then there is voice actors. (Which new otome gamers may not relate to yet?) Normally if you find a voice actor(s) you either like and/or you enjoy then this could make this game much more entertaining for you or at least get you more hyped and wanting the game. And honestly it's as simple as that for voice actors I feel like.
In conclusion there could also be more elements, though I personally feel like I covered the basics. Since these things are the main things I look for and am interested in? (Though maybe for some people also console and language? Though I don't really care?) This shall be then end of this post though. If you want to add your what you look for/think is important the comment down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Main Dessert Choices! +Otome MCs/Heroines
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I would like to mention that pre-orders for "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" are now up on GameStop. On its page it says that "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" is going to come out April 27th of this year, and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" is going to be released on June 29th. I leave the link to both preorder pages down below! Now though lets get into the main part of this post. I don't recall if I ever did a post or at least a paragraph about this, but this post is going to be about our Otome Heroines!
Now I don't really have an issue with otome heroines? I mean I can also understand why people could not like some/certain MCs also. The main/common MC/Heroine is mostly innocent, childish, inexperienced, and etc. Though maybe this heroine type doesn't really bother me because I start off with this type? Though no matter what I don't really care. Though of course having a variety of different heroines is always nice as well. Honestly I probably notice a heroine with a unique trait or design most though. Even if I do find a heroine annoying or whatever, then it mostly disappears soon after.
This reason is mostly because I am probably more focused on the story-line or something of the sort anyways? I mean like you can have any heroine you want, but I feel like they have to fit in with the story at least. Or at least fit the situations they are in. So I guess for me it is all based more on the story and how it fits and everything? Though I also just can't really hate any of them anyways.
I think I'll end this post here. Comment down below how you feel about our otome MCs/Heroines and which ones are your favorite and why. Though or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Look At Our Apps! +Mobile Otome Games
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post is going to be about mobile otome games! This was the type of otome gaming I started out with. Though, probably most of us started out with this type. My first otome game was "Midnight Cinderella" by Cybird, though that kinda is irrelevant for this post, but still fits all the same. The first thing I'm going to be talking about is about the price/spending of it. Some otome apps are free while some aren't. In the end it really just narrows down to free and paid. So I'll be splitting it into two sections, free and paid. Though also talking about expense (most likely at the end.)
So let's talk about free first. When it comes down to free apps you can play the whole game for free, but for the most part all of it is ticket based with checkpoints in between. Though you can make purchases to buy more tickets or things you may need to get through checkpoints, or to get more affection points, etc. I started with free ones, so I have a tolerance to them. Though for some people all of this is irritating. Honestly though I never spend any money on free app and just lived with my fate. Even now I would still never spend any money on them, probably because I find no point in it with free apps? Though that's shaky and I guess it's more just a feeling I get.
Now paid apps. Paid apps are mostly in-app purchases. Though the prologue is free and you can read it all straight through right away and maybe also possibly the first episode of the guy you choose. Though the rest you have to pay for. Normally a route costs $3.99 or $4.99. Though unlike free you are paying for his whole route right away so you can read it straight through whenever you feel like, and it's your's forever.
Now the last part, expense/spending. With paid apps there are normally five routes though that's the average, so there could be more or less depending on the game. Though if you only buy the main story for each boy then that could round up to $20 total (if it's $3.99, or to be exact $19.95) or $25 total (for $4.99 or to be exact, $24.95). And I can't really say how much you would spend for free games if you do decide to buy or if you are one that does. In my opinion though I would think that you spend more money on free apps though. Especially if you are going through all routes. Though with paid games there are also epilogues and sequels sometimes that you would have to buy. So I guess it all depends on the spender honestly.
I think I shall end this post here though. If you want to comment about your experience with both or one or the other then comment down below! Also comment how you feel about otome apps! For now though, I'll talk to you guys later!

Bring Your Laptop To The Cafe! +PC Otome Games
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I'll be talking about otome games that are played on the computer or most known as PC (though the same thing). There are also even some otome games that are on the PC that are also made on mobile as well. I started on mobile but I remember when I first started playing one on my PC. I enjoyed it a lot and enjoyed playing it during the night. Probably because I mobile games during the day, since I'm on the platform during the day with my PC at night. Though I love both equally, since it all depends on the otome game in the end anyways.
And of course their are both pros and cons to both sides. Though this post is just about PC, so a war between the two another day. When it comes down to PC a company may have a demo of the game that you can download and try out, if you have to pay money for the game. Though there are also free ones as well. A game on PC that you pay for can basically average to around $30. So you are getting everything at one go. So if you really wanted too you could play the whole game in one go (depending on how long it takes for each route), or you could split up when to play each route when you want to. (I honestly always go for splitting it up.)
If you want to make this simpler then a paid PC otome game will almost mostly have voice acting it. I actually don't think I've ever ran into one where there wasn't voice acting in it. Not only that but there may be some added things that you might get/or something that a free one doesn't offer.
With free ones there's most likely no voice acting and sometimes not even music. For this one I actually do know of a game that does have both music AND voice acting. This game is called "Seduce Me the Otome" by Michaela Laws. This game is a really amazing otome games and I'm putting a link of it's Steam page down below and so you guys should totally check it out. Especially! Since it's free.
To me though I would say that voice acting and music are more like added bonuses to otome games though. (Though I would also like to AT LEAST have music in it.) I think the type of an otome game and the story and what's it about can be more appealing. (But both of those other two things do help.) Though I would say that it all ends on preference on how you like PC otome's in the end. So comment down below on how you feel about them, and I'll talk to you guys later!

Cafe Progress! +An Update
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post will actually be a short one because, this is an update post! Normally I never really do update posts about my blog or anything, but I feel like I need to write one. I actually won't be able to play any otome games for a few months. This saddens me a lot though, though I want to try to continue playing them during my free time. I always enjoy otome games and that's the reason why I made this blog. A lot of people don't read my blog, if barely any. This could also be because of the blog site I use or whatever. For next week's post I really want to talk about how I feel towards otome games and just generally express my feelings and everything about it.
I know that these last few weeks post's haven't been the best, since I honestly don't have the time to plan what I'm going to do and everything anymore. Though I will try to get better again and I might bring back some old blog series/themes/parts I did in the past that I enjoyed and can bring up again. (I might also make a blog series of all the otome companies and what I like/dislike about them, maybe?) I'll try to start making better posts again since this blog means a lot to me, and I personally enjoy writing posts for you guys! (Or at least the people who read it.)
This blog is on it's 3rd year. And so, I just want to thank everyone (new or old (or even one time)) who read this blog and enjoy it! I want people to enjoy this blog and I want to continue it for as long as I can! So even if I don't say thank you to all of you that much or rarely. I truly am grateful to everyone!
For now, thank you and talk to you guys later!

A Nice Sit Down Time! +Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live
Hello! Welcome back to another post! I think I mentioned in last week's post that I'm not playing any otome games until March due to my hectic life at the moment. (And hopefully it won't be hectic in March still.) Though one thing I have been playing in my down time is of course "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live"! (For those of you who haven't read my last two posts.) By the way I'm sorry for all of the Shining Live posts, but I am such a HUGE Utapri fan and with my life right now as it is, so I hope everyone understand. Also expect this to me another more short post. (Possibly even shorter than the last.) Let's get on with it though!
I actually ended up reading a lot more of the main story chapters. Since with the Valentines Event going on I actually have a break and can further explore. Not only that but I really wanted to unlock songs and since I leveled up so much thanks to the events, I ended up with a lot of tickets. This actually makes me want to write a more detailed/examined blog post about the translations in Shining Live, now that I actually have more material to think upon. So that will probably be next weeks post.
I think I'll end this post here. Honestly if you guys want a post about something then please comment down below! Above all else though I HIGHLY recommend "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live"! Especially if you are a fellow "Uta no Prince-Sama" fan or not! Or else for now I'll talk to you guys later!

A Newly Baked Pie! +Mystic Messenger +Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live
Hello! Welcome back to another post! To start off this post I would like to talk about the release of Ray's route in "Mystic Messenger"! If you already have V's route bought and unlocked then Ray's route will only cost 250 hourglasses. Though if you haven't unlocked V's route then all of Another Story will cost 550 hourglasses. This is really the only thing I wanted to bring up about it, but I will say that I'm highly excited to play Ray's route! I just have to wait a bit before I can. On another note though I will have to also wait to play "Collar x Malice". I'll probably end up playing both games in March, since right now my life is quite hectic.
Right now during the free time I get, I'm actually playing "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live". Last week's post was basically all about this game that I've been playing. The event currently going on now is Masato's event. I'm trying to aim for his 10% also, but I've been busier this time around during this event, so hopefully I'll get there. (I probably will just end up spending my prisms on LP instead of going for a gacha this time.) Last time I was able to get to the 10%, so I have hope for this one. I just can't be lazy with it. Also this Masato one is the second part of the event. The first part was Ren and the second part is Masato. I do have to confess though, that I really do enjoy his UR for this event.
This post is actually going to end here. I know that it's a short post than normal, but this is all I got for this week. I don't really know what I'm going to do for the rest of the February, so I might further examine games that I've played and do a further more detailed blog about it. But yet again I may not. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. If you'd like to comment down below about something then go head! For now though I'll talk to you guys later!
