Bad/machine translation has usually turned me off before.
Mobile monetization. Tried a mobile otome once because I know I am more likely to pick up and play a game on my phone out of sheer convenience. Gave up rather quickly.
I’m all for otome games with more gameplay than your typical visual novel, but if the gameplay is unskippable and annoys me… I think I saw a promising otome… with card game mechanics, which drives me nuts. Jack Jeanne will not be happening because rhythm games usually drive me crazy. It is sad because a lot of more modern otome games with other gameplay that I’m aware of just so happen to fall into the few kinds of gameplay I’m very uninterested in, instead of the many genres I do enjoy.
If there’s stuff like MC being dismissed/ignored by an LI because she’s a woman (this happens in Tengoku Struggle), I’ll be skipping. I can handle some “low-grade” sexism but active hostility, especially from an LI, isn’t something I want to see in a game I play for fun. Same for games that hit too close to other depressing hot-button real-world issues today. The exact line can vary, but that’s a good general rule.
