ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* INTRODUCE YOURSELF 2025 ੈ♡‧₊˚

^{I know I missed a couple of years, but I think it's time I bring this back!}

WELCOME TO OUR SUBREDDIT!

I hope that you're all having a great start to 2025 so far, and that the rest of the year is good to you. Please look after yourselves and stay safe and healthy, both physically and mentally.

This is a heartfelt thank you to all the frequent posters and commenters (and lurkers!) for your participation and contributions to r/otomegames, because you are the ones that make the subreddit what it is. All I do is make sure things are neat and tidy.

As usual, a moment of silence for our comrades who have moved on, physically or virtually or mentally. I hope that you're all doing well out there, or are in a better place. And welcome to the newcomers - whether you're new to Reddit, to r/otomegames or just to otome games in general, we're all excited to see what you bring to the community!

We've had some serious growth in the last couple of years that I have barely been able to keep up with, so it's a good time to come and get to know people a bit better - and maybe make some new friends!

It doesn't matter whether you've been around since 2011, lurking for ages or have come back after a hiatus, we'd all love to know a little bit more about the others who share this love for otome games.

Please share any details about yourself that you feel comfortable in doing so with us!

Here's some inspiration:

• Name, pronouns, age, nationality etc
• How long have you been playing otome games? aka your otome game backstory
• What's your current or all time favorite games, protagonists and love interests?
• What are your favorite genres and settings and what do you want to see more of?
• What are you currently playing?
• What platforms do you play on?
• What's your backlog like?
• Do you collect merch?
• How are you with spoilers?
• Do you self-insert?
• Do you like playing blind or use a walkthrough?
• Any other major hobbies or interests?
• Any social media or projects (I'll let the self-promotion rules slide - promote all the things!)

For those of you who have participated previously, please do not hesitate to update and re-upload your own introduction.

The most important thing of all is to have fun! I look forward to knowing everyone a bit better!
