Post idea completely stolen from weekly “what are you playing Wednesday” posts from several gaming subreddits. Don’t want to flood the sub, but do want to at least signal that there’s at least one active user here!
When this magazine was pretty much dead, I made a post asking people to comment and @ me if they found the magazine and wanted to be active. That way I could get the best of both worlds by not flooding this magazine with tons of no-engagement posts, but also still be alerted if someone wanted to interact.
I later realized that if nobody on your instance subscribed to this magazine before I made that post, you wouldn’t be able to see it unless you looked on m/otomegame’s instance, kbin.social. Just by first appearances, it would seem totally dead and abandoned, and people would click away. So I guess weekly posts it is for a stream of new content to signal at least one person is active and checking here.
I’ve been taking a break from long otome because I don’t have much time at the moment, so instead I’ve been playing the short indie titles in my itch.io backlog. I most recently got to Villainess Idolized By Everyone.
The art isn’t really my style but I gave it a chance because it was a “reincarnated as villainess” story. I ended up bouncing off of it hard, when I’m usually all for these kinds of stories, including the ones that other genre fans think are poorly written. I just could not get into any of the text it was putting down and ended up skimming a good deal of it, especially when the guys were talking. I don’t know nearly enough about writing to tell if this was just a “not to your taste” thing or if there were actually issues with the writing. I can tell you it has 4 stars on Itch after 20 ratings.
