What is your play style?

I think that most people play using walkthroughs (also called strategy guides), but what about you guys? Personally I did try using walkthroughs at first but this playstyle didn't suit me at all and it almost made me think I wasn't interested in playing otome games lol. What I prefer is going by trial and error and   ***下载/download/otomedream/ダウンロード***   my own Strategy Guide by taking notes of what I did that was good or bad. So, what about you all? am I alone trying to beat the game? Also while we're at it do you prefer self inserting or not? Personally I self insert a bit but not entirely, I prefer feeling like I became the   ***下载/download/otomedream/ダウンロード***   instead of feeling like the   ***下载/download/otomedream/ダウンロード***   is me, I don't know if that makes sense?

对于大部分游戏我都会使用攻略，自己手打只能通向一个ending，想要收集其他ending以及未读文本要从头开始打游戏很麻烦

通常我会核对攻略来尝试分析每一个选项所代表的态度，以及为什么它们指向了某一特定的结果
至于剧透就不是很在意啦，我在找游戏玩之前判断它有不有趣，值不值得玩的时候就会看一大堆游戏切片以及结局合集。对一个游戏处于一知半解（只知道头，尾，和世界观）的时候好奇心是最强的，玩起来也比较愉快。

通常会按照攻略来哦，但是纯恋爱类没什么   ***下载/download/otomedream/ダウンロード***   和be的会自己选
因为剧情作很容易be或者攻略顺序不对导致文本没那么通畅所以会按照攻略
代入感这个因人而异，如果你喜欢自己攻略的话完全没问题，毕竟打游戏是为了自己开心哦

avg其实按着自己想追的选大部分获得he并不难  感觉比较喜欢的我会自己来 只是想“通关下一个”会看攻略
比起来，玩其他类型的游戏的时候比较痛苦，因为又想全收集，又想靠自己，但是靠自己总会遗漏一些（尽管已经是舔图式玩法了），不像avg可以后期方便读档补全

我第一次玩乙遊是按自己心情去選，但永遠都去不了我想要的結局，主角的心理往往跟我太不相像，要靠揣摩去玩的話太累了，也很花時間。拿滿足感的話我玩其他類型的遊戲會得到更多，玩乙遊的目的是看愛情故事的話，像看書一樣去看待人物，對我而言會更有趣。所以我玩文字遊戲是不能沒有攻略的（笑

Hello fellow English speaker! (Allow me to reply anonymously though XD)

To answer your questions in brief,

First, I absolutely will follow walkthroughs unless the game is famous for being dirt easy/linear because I'd rather not have to spend additional time trying to collect all the ends/CGs and struggle to figure out what content I'm missing and which choice bricked my playthroughs ;'D
This is more so the case for non-linear games that aren't purely choice based... imagine having to repeat the grind 𖦹 ´ ᯅ ` 𖦹
If I take on the game blind, I'd definitely spend an obscene amount of time on the games compared to if I simply relied on a walkthrough (following recommended route orders) so all the extra time spent could have been spent on something else and sadly adulting has really driven home the point that "time is money"...
I do know of several who would opt to play blind just for the first playthrough though and then use a guide for remaining playthroughs.
At any rate, as long as the person is having the most fun, whichever playstyle goes :)

Second, I do not self-insert and otome games are pretty much consumed as I would read a traditional romance novel or manga.
I'm not the biggest fan of games where the   ***下载/download/otomedream/ダウンロード***   is a blank entity who serves merely as a puppet for self-insertion but as always, to each his or her own. :)

最开始玩avg的时候我会自己打，但是后来发现自己打的话绝对去不了设定的真结局，所以最后还是看攻略。如果不是视觉小说我才纯自己玩
主要是觉得实在太耗时间了。那种一个选项选错了导致的坏结局还好，如果是因为好感度不够出来的结局，那真的无言以对……而且重复游玩就算可以快进，也没有什么趣味(xing)

我是那种喜欢看剧透重点打我喜欢的部分，掠过一般般的部分的人
而且还防撞卡车挺好的
