Ojisan otome game

I love it when people call me that — Ed. You end up getting two for the price of one with the wonderful Shirabe and his adorable daughter: what a lovely, happy unit!

While surprisingly streamlined due to its self-contained plot, it concerns a cast of realistic love interests quite unlike many other otomes. As the protagonist, we find ourselves stressed due to work and seek a break with some alcohol at the Audire bar, where five pairs of interested eyes land on us.

And from the get-go a romance is set up for us to revel in! Be it for the drama, emotional baggage, or a bit of steamy content, each route offers a storyline worth playing through to see the gentlemen defeat their demons.

Additionally, each love interest feels very distinctive compared to one another, due to the heavy, individual burdens they carry — and their own charms, of course. They may initially appear as tropes but are anything but as you hear their stories and very adult struggles.

Pub Encounter is targeted towards those who like the mature type of love interests specifically, much like how Gakuen Club is aimed towards those more inclined to Shota love interests. But the title should not be passed over just because of their ages — give them a chance! Pub Encounter is available on Switch and Steam. The design choice and personality traits of its main character Maria are a stand-out for an otome game heroine; she is a brave and considerate individual who will stand up for herself, and whose looks are cute yet still grounded.

Because — gasp — she is a fellow glasses wearer! This goes hand in hand with the hunks of the title, each of whom have different builds and very different personalities. For example, William the elf is a naive and friendly person who gets conned a bit too much out of his money and has fallen into debt, while Brian, the priest, is a selfish individual who looks down on others. It also involves some RPG segments as Maria and her hired mercenaries seek out ingredients she needs to do her job as a herbalist properly and efficiently.

NSFW link! Rindoh is a capable fighter, easy to warm up to with a friendly and welcoming aura, and is a charming flirt. Rindoh fits comfortably here due to much of his charm coming from his experience. How wrong he is. Rindoh has a way with words, be it by being commanding or offering encouraging remarks towards Ayame — or indeed when things get more steamy between the two.

It is also an absolute joy to see this dynamic turned upside down when Ayame manages to be stubborn and bossy with him, or says something so adorable and innocent that it makes his cheeks rosy. Somehow he becomes even more attractive in Season 2 with longer, shabbier hair, and his extra outfits in other events such as his traditional attire are a feast for the eyes.

Man, were they annoying. Ok, I have to say this upfront. So because Toma was a childhood friend, I picked him to start.

Turns out, he loves her, but he also has a tendency of wanting to see her cry. But of course he did some rape-y stuff. Not only that, he kept biting her. Errr… this whole story is just weird. Honorable mention are the boys from Dreamy Days in West Tokyo all 5 of the above, Johji is an exception.

The premises of the entire story was that the mc went back to her home town after 10 years to finish off her high school years, since he parents moved oversees. So she met all these guys she used to play with as a kid. All of them had a thing for her back then. However, the only ones who really show it was Ichigo and Rihito. Otherwise, how can they be players? He has a reputation for it.

The first time when he met the mc again after all those years, he asked her to go to a hotel room with him. Oh difficult choices in life!!! But I just love him. Oh, I just love stories about taming the players. I have a thing for villains. His route was interesting to play. I think I kind regretted playing his route too early. Apparently, there are so many things, so many facts in his route that playing it too early will spoil the plot of other routes.

Ok, more like a lethal big puppy dog. Unfortunately, he was not one of the main characters, although he does have a route of his own. But it was no less interesting to play. So wonderful! I get more excited about the challenge of pursuing the hard-to-get ones.

Like Liked by 1 person. Glad to know there are others out there who are attracted to villains too! Like Like. I think I just prefer guys who are more assertive or the guy falls for the female lead first before the female lead falls for him. I have! And I absolutely love Kyohei!!

Lol i love Kyohei and Kota! But first place belongs to Kyohei! I cried a river reading his main story. Me too!! Is it good?? But rather than funny, it sometimes turned out to be really annoying! Is that from the sub story? Hehe, lemme know how you like their POV. But the main story POV is definitely worth it for both him and Kota, imo. Ummm, it was ok I guess. Things are kind of cliche in his main story, imo.

His POV was decent though. It was interesting to see how the different guys react to a rival in love. I know what you mean with the sub stories though. They are over priced and usually lack content. I try to refrain from buying them… Except for Finally in Love Again ones.

Akiyoshi was a bit of a disappointment for me. I really looked forward to his story too. Nobody has a last name Oh in Hong Kong.

People rarely wear QiPao in Hong Kong. But I think the plot line will probably turned out into that type of cliche type of story. I think I just keep going with reading it till the end because I love the character. Again, I know exactly how you feel. For examples Kyohei, Kota, and Nagito. I was already enchanted by the first chapters, so, yeah. Buying like crazy. But idk.. Usually, the characters that made me lose judgment. I know. Lol okay okay. I see your point. Lack of research perhaps?

But I do like that bad boy point of his. Star Crossed Myth! Have you read his story?? I was a bit disappointed as it was so predictable. Except my heart was subsequently stolen way by Huedhaut.
