If I wanted to read about BL, I wouldn't choose otome! It feels like MC is 3rd wheel.When I play otome, I not only want to read a story,I want to feel loved. And I want to be confident in men's feelings for MC. Not to know they f-k (ed) each other. This is unpleasant.

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.
I'm with you on this. That is what yuri and yaoi is for. It seems people aren't satisfied if gay, bi etc isn't in everything though. Funny how they say don't judge and yet they can't respect your straight otomes. Thanks for the warning though, won't be playing this as I too am not interested in this type of otome.
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.
