Top 5 Otome Love Interests ~ Year 2

novelotome

Well, my blog made it another year! To commemorate my two-year anniversary, I thought it would be fun to make a Top 5 favorite Love Interest ranking with all my “Final Thoughts” paragraphs for each guy! Mostly, this allowed me to go back and revisit my favorite heroes from this past year!

Every one of these Love Interests was either a “Great” or “Good” ranking! I omitted the two guys from Hakuouki; SSL. The game was so short and my love for them all was established in the games Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms, which I did not play this year.

This is all meant in good fun, and obviously just my personal favorites!

Okay! Here we go!

Character and plot spoilers after the cut!

Bustafellows – Full Circle + Auld Lang Syne Endings Analysis

novelotome

Well, I finished Bustafellows!

And while I can’t go into too many details, because these two endings are nothing but character revelations and important plot info dumps, I do want the closure of writing down my general thoughts.  

I’ll first talk about the Full Circle and the Auld Lang Syne Endings separately and then sum everything up in my “Final Thoughts” section.

This article will be short and sweet!

Character and plot analysis and light spoilers after the cut! Per the game developer’s request, I will keep this article focused on my thoughts of these endings.

Bustafellows – Limbo Scott Fitzgerald ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

Okay. Look.

I did not like this route.

Otome Writers, can we please stop castrating our driven, leadership-type heroes so they fit into contrived, poorly plotted and structured storylines in their own routes?

And maybe I feel this strongly about these types of heroes, because I recently finished Yoji Kobase’s route from Sympathy Kiss and I feel that poor Limbo suffered the same fate.

I’m so sorry, Limbo. You deserved better.

Bustafellows – Mozu Nile Shepherd ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

I haven’t been moved to tears in an otome game for a while.

 And Mozu’s route did just that.

Ya’ll. This route made me want to go wake up my family in the middle of the night and give them a hug.

This route is bittersweet…beautiful, but bittersweet.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Top 10 Otome Love Interests ~ Year 1

novelotome

Well, I’ve been officially blogging for a year! To commemorate my one-year anniversary, I thought it would be fun to make a Top 10 favorite Love Interest ranking with my “Final Thoughts” paragraphs for each guy! Mostly, this allowed me to go back and revisit my favorite heroes from this past year!

Every one of these Love Interests was in my “Great” ranking, of which I had exactly ten for the year! I omitted all the guys from Hakuouki; SSL. The game was so short and my love for them all was established in the games Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms, which I did not play this year.

This is all meant in good fun, and obviously just my personal favorites!

Bustafellows – Scarecrow ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

There are just some otome love interests that I enjoy as secondary characters. And, for me, Scarecrow is one of these love interests. He’s not a bad character, he really is sweet and endearing, but we just didn’t click in his route.

And that’s okay.

Bustafellows – Helvetica Orsted ~ Plot & Character Analysis

This route was…something.

And by something, I mean this route was…a lot.

And by a lot, I mean this route was…too much.

Bustafellows – Shu Lyn O’Keefe ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

Okay, so after avoiding this game because I’d heard it was comparable to Collar X Malice, which is my most hated (*cough*) strongly disliked otome game of all time, I finally caved when Bustafellows was available on the Nintendo e-shop for $10. I mean, even I can take a risk for $10.

And I’m so happy I did! I absolutely LOVED Shu! And to my absolute surprise, he and his route sky-rocketed to the top 5 of my favorite otome heroes and routes of all time!

In my opinion, this game is nothing like Collar X Malice, which works in Bustafellows favor in every way!
