It was very -pleasurably-to read about how mc's love interests are in -intimate-relationships. Very neccesary detail in the OTOME. Thanks for ruined mood. PS . I laugh so hard about amount of activity in such a small amount of time) go make more fresh accounts for it x) Sorry everyone for not being into сuсkolding)

I respect the fact that they elected to be inclusive in hinting at one or more of the potential love-interests being bisexual, especially given that in the end, Ace has the possibility to end up with the female MC, despite the hints that he's had relationships with men in the past. Given how prevalent biphobia can be in both queer and straight spaces, it's refreshing to have it treated with such nonchalance here.
Wow, seriously. Didn't knew. It is not specific desires, such "surprises " is a quite rare thing for otome. At least for now... Otome always was a het genre in the first place - but suddenly it becomes for everything. Yuri is still yuri and doesn't include men, BL is genre without women as love interests, but otome suddenly became a genre for everything. wow. I'd rather be bitter and childish than to be fujoshit who happily watching gay party from the corner.
Bisexuality, Pansexuality and Polysexuality have their place in Otome Games.
They are not to be considered purely Yuri or Yaoi... for obvious reasons.
Leianora, I suggest you take some time and read about Bi, Pan and Poly, and stop judging harshly a game over a branch of sexuality you don't understand.
First off, how is a past relationship a problem for feeling secure in a current relationship? You think every guy you ever meet should have been eternally, completely unattached and should never have experienced attraction before meeting you or they can't love you? That's pretty weird and insecure to be that controlling over someone's romantic history.
Second of all, I don't know if you got the memo, but otome games are games that largely target any woman who wants to read GxB or mostly GxB romances. The men's sexualities, so long as they are interested in women, have literally nothing to do with whether it's an otome or not because characters do not have to be heterosexual to be in a GxB romance. You're just being illogically biphobic and trying to justify it as a preference supported by the genre when it's not. Even if otome were specifically for straight women, which they're not, straight women don't become suddenly not straight by romancing bi men. Give me a break.
Lastly, GL and BL romance games can and do include all kinds of sexualities and genders too. You can't whine about one otome game and then point to a hypothetical situation in different genres which you have backed up with zero evidence or context as proof that you're being victimized because someone wrote something that wasn't about you. If the game has majority GxB, BxB or GxG romances for the player to engage in, it is Otome, BL or GL respectively. Nothing else is relevant to genre definition. It's up to the author and what they want to include. No one has robbed anything from the otome audience by not catering to solely your tastes always. Stop being entitled.
Lol for every 3 games like this one there's like 7 "Het Games".
Funny why I hardly see anyone complain about unnecessarily tragic backstories (awkwardly solved with the power of uwus) or exes there for the sake of plot, forced to have terrible personalities again for the sake of plot but suddenly who suddenly become tame after the oh so nice MC befriends them and having no other life or personality other than being the LI's ex... surprise, because of plot.
I've seen comment sections on this site, this one's wow.
Is it so hard to drop it without announcing your departure? We don't need self-important people.
I get that establishing expectations matters, especially in a genre that gets conflated with wish fulfillment (even if the game never advertised itself as a "build a boyfriend" game) but something tells me that demand for a tag isn't a "here's constructive criticism, this isn't media for me but I wish you well" sort of feedback but more of a "you didn't warn me, so you should feel bad you lost My interest, serves you right" comment.
