About

Hi. My name is Misty, and as you can tell from looking at this blog, I really like otome games. Well, to be honest, now I am not as interested in them as I was before. My interests seem to change very quickly. That is why I am going to start writing about other types of games instead. 

Currently, my interests are: anime and manga (my favourite genre is shonen), bubblegum eurodance, eurobeat, drawing, my cats, learning languages, and video games, of course. If you want to learn a bit more about me, you can always visit my other website here.

I got into the genre of otome because of a Facebook advertisement. No, I am not joking. About five years ago, I was scrolling through my feed when I saw an advert for "Shall We Date? Blood in Roses". This was during the peak of my anime and X reader fanfiction phase. The sexy vampires interested me quite a bit, so I installed it. After playing it for a bit, I saw that you had to grind for story tickets and stuff. I couldn't be bothered with that, so I uninstalled. I also tried a few other free romance games, but I rarely got past the prologue. So I kept on reading those X reader stories.

About a year later, I downloaded Mystic Messenger, and I fell in love. If it wasn't so generous to free players like me, I probably wouldn't have fallen down the otome rabbit hole. I absolutely adored that game. Soon, I started blogging about it. My early otome blog posts weren't really proper reviews or anything, and they were full of spoilers. I soon started playing more mobile games (most of them were rubbish), and I spent a lot of time online reading about otome. I learnt that there were paid games that had better stories and romance. 

I had this old PSP lying around that someone gave me years ago. So I spent some money and bought Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom. I also briefly covered it on this blog. Then, that Christmas, I bought a PS Vita, and played even more otome games. That was also the year I started learning Japanese. My main motivation for that was so I could play Diabolik Lovers. My Japanese is still quite bad because I don't have a proper teacher, but otome games, even the localised ones, helped me pick up a lot of words.

Thanks to otome, I discovered drama CDs and became obsessed with seiyuu. I also got to practice my writing a lot by blogging about the games. I also was a proofreader for the English patch for DiaLovers HDB on the Vita, which was cool. 

I've always been obsessed with self insert stuff, especially of the romantic kind. Throughout my whole life I've daydreamed about romancing my favourite characters. A lot of otome players seem to care about the plot as well as the romance, but my number one priority is the characters and the romance. For some reason my opinions differ from a lot of other people, but that's fine. 

Most otoge I play I end up liking a lot. My favourite game for a long time was Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly. But I have always been absolutely obsessed with Diabolik Lovers and Hakuoki. My all time favourite love interest is Subaru Sakamaki from DiaLovers. Usually I end up liking the edgier characters with more tragic pasts, that seems to be my type. 

I do like other video games, too. For a long time I lived under a rock and didn't have many games, so now I'm trying to play all the stuff that I've missed. A game will usually appeal to me if the characters or the setting look interesting, and if it's not a depressing dark edgy shooting game. I don't really have a favourite game, but my most played titles are Pokemon Black Version (I've had the game since launch and played over three hundred hours), Rune Factory 4 Special, Stepmania/DDR and of course RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 3. A lot of games I decide to pick up games just because they have hot men in them. I am not ashamed of that fact. 

My other hobbies are baking and listening to music. I listen to a lot of stuff, and I am obsessed with tracking them on Last.fm. My favourite genres are bubblegum dance, eurodance, eurobeat and anime character songs (if that even counts). 

If you want to contact me, you can add me on Xbox Live with the username "itsdehhhhhhh". I also have PSN under the username "strangepigeon333" but I don't use it as much. No, I am not going to give you my email address or anything personal like that. I am a bit shy online and in real life, so if it takes a while for me to reply, I'm sorry. 

Thank you for visiting my blog! This page used to be super long, so I slimmed it down a bit. Please stay tuned for more posts in the future!
