I’ve been wanting to make this post a few weeks ago but better later than never I guess.

As you can see I haven’t been able to make Walkthroughs for Cupid Parasite (yet) and I generally wanted to talk about me making Walkthroughs.

Basically the thing is that it’s pretty much become impossible for me to keep up with people that get review copies of games and things like that. CupiPara even went for the EU separate release date which makes things even worse for me in terms of when I can get my hands on games.

This might be solved by trying to get review copies as well which I may actually be able to do. I’m really not trying to blow my own horn but I do think the blog is renowned enough to potentially pull that off.

However, I am against the idea of entering such a relationship with the localization companies. People always say their opinion etc. do not get swayed due to getting a free copy but let’s be real: if you want to have a continous relationship then obviously you’ll be more likely to turn a blind eye to certain things and sugarcoat others.

I’m not sure how to explain this, but I also kind of feel like I’d be losing some of my freedom. You know, I’m not someone who’s constantly or unnecessarily talking smack about localizations/the companies and generally try to be positive/supportive. But, when the occasion arises, I do like to join on having a bit of fun and making memes when funny stuff happens. And I also want to speak my mind freely without anything holding me back.

Which brings us to the current situation. I am in no position to keep up with a lot of the other content creators. I do try my best to be quick because I know that a lot of people enjoy by guides, some even actually waiting for me to upload. But I can’t help feeling some pressure from the “competition”. And I do understand using the Walkthroughs that pop up first, really. If I were using Walkthroughs I’d choose the ones available upon launch as well.

So I am kind of stuck between a lot of different thoughts. I’ve always uploaded my Walkthroughs because I enjoy making them. I don’t want money, I don’t want fame or anything of the like. For me Walkthroughs are kind of a roundabout way of sharing my interest of Otome games which I can’t share with anyone in real life. There’s also the matter of this blog being precious to me. But especially as real life gets more intense and this feeling of being unable to keep up with other creators becomes more prominent I can’t help but wonder if there is still a place for me (making Walkthroughs) in the Otome community.

To be honest I haven’t really come up with an answer for that question yet. This post also got a lot more emotional than I originally wanted it to be, but as I started talking about the situation I guess that feelings I have been carrying with me for the past few months came to light. I guess for now I’ll try uploading the Cupid Parasite Walkthroughs at my own pace and see how that feels.

  benichi  Me,...

I’ve heard that it’s a pretty wild ride! Sounds exciting though, I look forward to it :D

The only other thing I can say that isn’t a spoiler is that the battles are VERY well done considering it’s all 2d sprites and some special effects.

With the releases of Steam Prison and Code Realize Wintertide Miracles we’ve pretty much reached the end of our current Otoge line up. To pass the time as we play the waiting game and do occasional prayer circles I’ve come up with some topics to cover. Depending on how long we have to wait I might do everything eventually, but for now we’ll start with what you guys find the most interesting

1. Series about Games with romantic elements

Luckily Otoge aren’t the only option out there to experience some romantic stories in games. The focus of this would be to make a series of posts about other games with romantic content that I’ve played and recommend. Depending on interest this could also be further expanded, but we’ll see how things go!

2. The Mobile Otome Market

I’ve already started talking about this topic a little bit, but there’s certainly more ground to be covered. Especially now that it’s the only medium that’ll give us new releases during the upcoming months

3. Which (horrible) Otoge should I play?

I get quite a few asks and feedback about these kinds of posts so I hope people find them enjoyable! Essentially I’m throwing myself out there to play bad Otoge routes or parts of games so you don’t have to. If you want some examples of my great sense of humor and suffering here are my posts for: [Ozmafia’s Brothel Route], [Natsume’s Route in Ephemeral], [Ozmafia Love Triangle]

If there are other things you’d like to see from me feel free to leave suggestions! These are the things I came up with, but I’m definitely open for other interesting content ideas :) this poll will be open for 3 days, I’d love to get as much opinions as possible!
