I’ll be honest. I have not played many indie otome games on Steam. And I have a couple of reasons for this:
- I prefer to play otome games on the Switch.
- I prefer games that have voice acting.
- Call me picky, but I’ve found (after a few failed attempts), I don’t enjoy otome games that I don’t find visually appealing. And for me, I have found few indie otome games that are drawn in an artistic style I like.
Now, I did get my start on Steam with Amnesia and Hakuouki. And considering Hakuouki is one of my favorite otome games of all time, I do spend a certain amount of time on Steam with my favorite Shinsengumi captains.
During a general perusal of the otome games available on Steam, I stumbled upon the game: Let’s not stay friends. And the moment I saw it, I thought it looked cute. So, I bought it on DEEP discount and waited until I was looking for a quick, fluffy read.
Well, I finished Frenz route, and I have to say that I was charmed. No, seriously.
I love this grumpy, arrogant battle mage…and his route!
As always, character and plot analysis and spoilers after the cut!
